Submissions from Bad Positions | Jiu-Jitsu Anti-Fundamentals

Just calm down...”Anti-Fundamentals” is just a way of saying these violate a lot of fundamental principles we are taught as rules about positions and submissions. These are definitely not go-to subs and they are inherently dangerous, but they are also very sneaky and unexpected. These also make some great Hail Marys for when you’re losing or have lost position and you are desperate. Hope you like them!

I don't think I've ever tapped my notifications so fast. Don't even have to watch the whole thing to tell you it's a great vid

[@tagg1080]

In catch wrestling we emphasis more subs like this for two main reasons: First, when you have pins it is a lot harder to ever take a break, so the action is pushed harder. Second, because of that, athleticism and being tired are more prevalent and important, and you don't need 100% control to get subs when your opponent is tired or you are constantly forcing scrambles and catching them in the chaos.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s one of the best explanations I’ve heard for prioritizing subs like that the way Catch does. Thank you.

[@Jknudsen0523]

Love your cadence... the way you talk. It’s signature. I know your videos without seeing your face. Learning so much. Thanks!

Yeah bro his way of explaining things is super easy to understand. He doesn't pause much or say "ummmm" lol. Me on the other hand you'll get like 50 "ummmmms" in 5 minutes 😂😂😂🤣🤣 Keep watching this channel. I've learned so much here!

A true artist of the game , thanks for sharing the knowledge

[@luismoreno5499]

This is my ALL TIME Favorite video from your channel 🙌🏽. I understand that I shouldn't rely on these techniques to my "to-go move". But I'm a small guy (5'3, 122ish lbs) lol with asthma so most of the time if I am stuck in "bad position" but I do got some trick up my sleeve lol but this video should definitely help me out and maybe make my partner to "THINK"! 🤙🏽Thanks Eli 🤙🏽

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I think it’s super important to have these options for that exact reason. I’m so glad you like the video.

[@coachomri5468]

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

[@joshuahall1656]

👏👍👍BRO!!! Thank you for this video. I'm 5'9 155lbs and all the guys in my bjj gym are freaking monsters, but It's making me better and stronger... I'm good at escaping mounts and defending & escaping back mounts, but my main problem has been bottom side control. I've struggled with this for months. I can escape bottom side control with guys my size and weight, but not with these 200+ pound higher rank bodybuilders until I saw this video. That ghost escape to darce and leg assisted collar choke has been working. I'm sure they'll catch on to it though and I'll have to keep adapting. Thanks again.

[@nurfwatergun5284]

Love this. I pulled off the overhead doll to Komura last week. I was ah ones after the overhead roll that I found myself setting up a trap for the Kimura. Definitely something I will remember.

[@meteoroz]

Thank you again

[@김봉팔-u6l]

I always watching your videos and practice. Thx👍👍. And i want know about half mount bottom position's movements. May i require about that?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I don’t have a complete video of just half guard (which I think is what you’re referring to the same as half mount bottom), but here is a deep half guard video I made recently. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2XUq4xtaZWHr8k

[@scubatravel7846]

5:40 🙏 Thank you

[@rollinOnCode]

i wouldn't say that it is a "mistake" to cross your ankles in back mount. firstly by closing the loop you have a lot more control over the opponent. and also it is pretty trivial to escape or counter the ankle lock- you just literally extend your leg to shift the fulcrum as you dorsiflex or you can hook their foot

[@shahree100]

Lovely stuff 👍🙏🏻

[@jonathanfranco4008]

[@denvilde1926]

[@FranciscoVieira-dm2yh]

Very good !

[@randomclips8575]

1 more tip that wasnt mentioned is to makd sure you breathe when you are demonstrating

[@magee3061]

another classic!

[@eschelar]

Haha. I am a big guy and quite slow compared to most of the young guys. So escapes are actually my main attacks at this point. Very solid defense and highly opportunistic attacking. It doesn't work all that well, not surprisingly, especially if counting points, but not bad for a white belt mostly paired up against guys with three times more experience than me. Hehe Not many partners in my size range at my low level. Defensive play isn't too bad when this is the case. So that means I am not very good, but these videos are very helpful.

[@wdcsarruda]

Fantastic explanation! Oss🥋

could you please explain in details the foot lock itself? when I catch his foot I can’t always finish submission, there must be some hint . Thanks!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I have thought about doing this, but there are so many videos floating around on leg attacks that I just haven’t yet. But I plan to put one out sometime soon on the basics of these.

[@gokehoego]

What did you do to your wrist? It's been wrapped up for a bit now.

Several months. Ligament tear but can’t really do surgery right now.

[@bobbybello6624]

Good Back up moves to start different methods of Escape, But I remember Mario Sperry saying back in the day ''If Someone gets the Mount on me He going to be better than me'' Im not going to be able to do this and that lol

[@eschelar]

Eli. I love watching your videos at lunch, but could you please do a little boost of your levels before you publish your video? I watch several channels and yours and Faria's channels are consistently so quiet I can barely hear them while sitting out in the sun on a quiet side street. Doesn't need much, just check the levels and make sure you're at least within - 2db of clipping at peak. Thanks man. Love the videos.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

You make a good point, and I recently invested in a better mic and watching more closely in sound levels in editing.

[@eschelar]

@@KnightJiuJitsu Thanks man. I don't even mind if it's a bit hissy with sound quality, just got to be loud enough so I can hear it over a gentle breeze. ;) I listen to podcasts and such while having my lunch and coffee and with the speakers available on my phone, I find it is quite possible to hear reasonably well. A few BJJ channels are particularly hard to hear though. I've got a ton of your videos on "watch later" list so I can watch them when I'm in a quiet room because they are gold :)

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s really funny you mention that because I filmed a video on that topic monday. It’s kind of just for fun, because they’re super low percentage submissions. I’ll have it up soon.

[@braddahjosh808]

Is that not reaping on the heel hook when you bring your outside foot over and across to the inside?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That sounds like reaping the way you’re describing it, but I don’t reap on any of the foot locks in this video. I think two positions end in ashi garami, but no reaping.

[@alexpetrich8961]

What are those suit things called? Ghi or something? Also, where can I get a quality one? I have always done Jiu-Jitsu and MMA with my friend with just shorts so idk what them things are, or are called;nor where I can get a quality one. Thanks :)

12:46 is there a threat of omoplata?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I know it looks like it, but he can’t get the alignment or posture to execute an omoplata because of the connection established with the lapel. That’s how the person applying the choke is able to cross over and execute it.
