Most Important Concepts for Guard Retention with Henry Akins

[@PauloBerni699]

Henry is right up there with John D as my favorite Jiu-Jitsu scientists. I tried Xande’s Diamond Concept with limited success; I think Akins gets to the underlying principle better, as simple as it sounds. I’m a 9 year black belt but still in search of that ultimate unifying concept which is the simplest to actualize under extreme pressure.

Unifying concept for Jiu Jitsu and most combat sports? Priit Mihkelson and Chris Paines.

[@Leitefsj]

I like Shawn Williams a lot too

[@hajikelist]

Akins is a genius instructor - super clear

[@rustlerruner]

I really like this hanry atkins guy. His side control video, I started using it right away, and he explains the basics in a way that make a lot of sense to me.

[@statcmf4199]

Bernardo asked such a brilliant question too

[@scottsmith7053]

Henry's mind is just plain amazing when it comes to jiu jitsu. I love his stuff

[@ablackcrane]

This is such great concept to follow. Everyone is trying to learn all these open guard movements and it can get a little complex. So I like things that are simple to learn.

It's like when a sitcom ends and they zoom the camera out to reveal the apartment was really just three walls in the middle of a studio warehouse

Thank you

Does to feet on the outside expose you for leg attacks?

[@carlosstracheuski5778]

Nice

[@Sroknroll]

So simple

[@coryscook91]

So Henry is saying it’s not a bad thing to play half guard offensively. It’s just bad to try to retain a half guard whenever a pass is initiated. You can get back to your half guard game once the threat of the pass is dealt with by two in or two out.

[@statcmf4199]

This is exactly what I took There’s a hierarchy of priority thats necessary to support the concept but the context is as stated. Specifically trying to “retain” half guard is miss use. Lockdown is something to be added to the conversation though

[@timothycarey3883]

​@@statcmf4199lockdown is even easier to pass.

[@richarddukard8989]

At 5:25, how did he just stretch his leg and get his butterfly hook when Bernardo had the leg weave? 🤔

[@shandyooo]

He kicked his leg straight, then back into the hook. Your leg is stronger than his grip and is able to break the weave quite easily.

7:51 extend away to reguard
