Must SEE Details for my GHOST Escape!!

[@imerected1]

Not only is this video gold with all these insanely good details, I love the fact you challenged those who commented. That shows you know what you are teaching!

[@mikemcc1156]

Love everything about this series. Great to watch again and again lol

[@BootyBot]

dude those crucifix transitions are absolutely terrifying.

[@tea.dubs8532]

Duuuuude 😂 my shoulders hurt just watching it

[@timothyjacques1360]

Gotta be careful to not hurt someone for sure. But damn they are scary.

[@slavicvolk]

3:42 tricep grab details 4:48 preventing mount with urgency 5:40 8:48 sweep or escape depends on their hip switch 7:02 darce details 9:03 crucifix/armbar counter to scarf hold with left hand post 12:28 sweep and submission counters to scarf hold with left hand post 16:42 either they can pin you or they will allow space for escapes

[@serghernandez4333]

Just got out of morning training and I gotta say that this helped me so damn much in getting out of side control. I'm 170lbs and have always struggled getting out of side control especially when rolling with big guys. These guys could not keep me down today! I've never been so confident being under side control! Thanks coach Brian.

[@TeachMeGrappling]

Way to go!

[@ericegle]

​​@@TeachMeGrapplingSo what do you do when they pull the cross face arm from behind your head and drop their forearm on your throat? I've been able to hit this escape with lower belts but brown and black belts will release the Gable grip and drop their forearm on my throat. I haven't figured out how to get out of this yet

[@nates.3399]

Rickson Gracie was showing some of these moves/escapes 10/12 years ago at a seminar at Coach Brain Espinoza's (West Coast Jiu Jitsu) in Oxnard Ca. Under whom I'm a brow belt, and not to toot my own horn, a 2010 Gracie National Champion (purple belt). I assure all who watch, these techniques WORK!!! Thanks for another GREAT vid TMG Coach Brian

[@gohome99]

"Don't be a dummy." -15:30 advice for life. 🙂 Love your videos, Coach Brian. Thanks for publishing them.

[@ПростоЁж-щ3ъ]

So many detals. The best coach youtuber i v ever seen.

it's true. there's a lot of good stuff out there, but coach is the best

[@crusadersforchrist4028]

4 years old and still super sick technique

He gives away his secrets. I love it.

Please people go to Patreon to support this channel, at least with a dollar by month , this is the best channel that teach for free the best Jiu-Jitsu ever . I don't want that this channel disappear. Please . Thank you coach , for your hard work and dedication to spread the Jiu-Jitsu all-over the world

[@wyzr-xf1qi]

Literally just displayed so many submissions I’ve never seen before and that arm bar with his arm behind his back is sooo nasty! And you’re absolutely right, it’s more effective in an mma or striking situation then a grappling match. Grapplers are all about that control. The striker is handing you that escape.

[@debbieeden4851]

This has transcended my rolling. You aren't a man, you are the man. Much respect from England. 🤘

[@muzikjay]

This is sick! This has by FAR been the most successful side-control escape for me. Great teaching. Much appreciated.

[@oraclebjj]

I’ve watched this a million times over the years. Looks so simple and beautiful yet... never once got it. But will keep trying. Mind keeps exploding half way into the video.

[@ChrisPayneable]

Coach Brian coming through in the clutch as usual.

[@macwagg]

Dude this is SO GOOD! How you go over every different scenario is so awesome! Really helps understand! Really really good stuff! Between what you have taught here and regular guard recovery it seems to remove all worry about being in someone's side mount! Eye opening! Keep the videos up... Your an amazing teacher, love the passion and enthusiasm and details! 👍👍👍

[@Theworstway]

This is the best thing on KZbin

[@weps1981]

I'm not even afraid of the armbar anymore (armbar at 3:28). Every time they go for an armbar it gives me the opportunity to finish the ghost escape. This escape is gold!!!👍

[@coryvore]

I really love the pull out method. Zing!

[@TeachMeGrappling]

😜

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

This is sick

[@batteryknuckles6689]

That was taught so well, not sure it could be explained or demonstrated any better. You got my sub buddy!!!! 👍

[@tedmanasa907]

Great detailed explanation, especially with all the different scenarios. Looking forward to trying this out!

[@rodrigodelarosa2561]

Anything that has to do with escape from any position, and even more this one that even gives you an edge afterwards is a great thing to learn

[@kalenhouse]

I'm going to drill that till it's set in stone. I love learning from your vids. I can't afford classes so this is the next best thing for me. Thank you so much for making it possible for me.

[@TeachMeGrappling]

You’re welcome!

[@timothyjacques1360]

My escapes and darce attacks have exponentially got better bc of your videos. I mostly do gi, but with hand and finger issues I use a lot of no gi concepts. They work. They are fun. No one expects them. You are a master of your craft.

[@tommoeller7149]

As a mid level blue belt I have never had bottom side control explained so well. Thank you so much.

[@juneguy]

Coming from a black belt.... you are an excellent instructor. Great job!!

[@cobygarcia5502]

I tried this this morning,,,,,,, and it freaking worked more than twice OF COURSE!!!!! Awesome technique!!!!! Thank you!!!! My professors have me giving up side control at the start of my rolls because they want me to get comfortable in uncomfortable situations and positions,,,,, I needed this badly!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! OSS!!!!

[@cobygarcia5502]

Awesome thank you coach!!! I’ll try it for sure I’ve got no other choice and you can’t imagine how much I needed this escape!!! I’ll learn this new one and add it to my arsenal!!!! Osssssssss!!!!!!!

[@Jon-ov4nc]

you do know that your supposed to say 'Oss' in place of everything else, and writing it? thats sacrilege..... its not some kind of sign off. its not a bow or a respect/salute.... i could spend all day saying what it isnt, so ill try my best to explain what it is. its vague purpose is to exist as an aknowledgement in place of actual speach, like because your busy training and breathing you dont want to waste time stopping so you can string a few words together. there is no debate about its specific definition, the short answer is it doesnt have one. i studied a bit of japanese language and culture in college and the way your using this psuedo-word is just downright peculiar. example: your rolling with your buddy, then your coach comes over and gives you some detail to a technique you attempted. rather than stop and breath so you can say you understand,you shoukd just keep rolling and say Oss to acknowledge to your instructor that you are listening.

[@manpac6763]

Coby Garcia I agree I like that explanation

[@Merrick]

OMG! Can not wait to try this. This was the first side mount escape i learned, although it was a little different, more swinging the legs than bridging, chopping the near side of the neck instead of gripping tricep. Love these variations.

[@colejevonanthony2125]

This video is the blueprint into how you turn someone into a pretzel 😮thanks for this one coach

[@harderheart]

Your assistant is quite flexible for these moves. I would have tapped half way

[@darryljackson5453]

I wish I could like this video twice. Excellent video! Thank you!

[@guillaumel7484]

Over the years, I must have watched this like 15 times. Thanks so much man!

[@joshuapillar]

I completely agree it is better to see side control like a 50/50 or half guard position. The bottom half guard used to be seen as completely inferior, but after some evolution, it is very respected as being offensive. Side control, top and bottom, seems to be underdeveloped in most circles. I love seeing this quality of instruction, especially from bottom side control. Thank you!

[@TeachMeGrappling]

👍

[@BJJandBS]

@@TeachMeGrappling you should put up more gi stuff.

[@juntjoonunya9216]

@@BJJandBS nah, there's enough gi out here. Mma is trendy now and whatever works in no gi works in gi. It would water down his brand. Maybe. No change needed. Plus he's got so much material he won't run out. Is a good niche he's in doing it his own personal style.

[@BJJandBS]

@@juntjoonunya9216 maybe let him do what he wants. He is a gi guy as well and gi jiu jitsu is just as big as no gi.

[@ceylonmeetsmusic]

I love how you go through every "what if"- scenarios. Keep up the great work! :)

[@koalaofdeath2045]

Man. I keep going back to these videos. So damn good. Thanks Coach

[@gabrielmchugh6394]

You are the best grappling coach out there for mma relevant techniques. Good work!

[@bradmccullar4238]

That’s the best detail to the ghost escape I’ve ever heard. 👍

[@colinlim7565]

This is awesome ! Like everyone is saying ... you've covered so many situations it's amazing. You're videos should be translated into 7 different languages.

[@abrvsk]

Thank you Coach Brian! This move saved me! I was ending in side control all the time and I felt confused how to react. I was trying hip escapes, framing and shrimping away, but most of the time guys were putting pressure on me or transitioning into submissions. So for me side control was like a signal: you can relax now, fight is over. I first saw your video on Wednesday and I was like 'Wow!'. I tried it the same day in the gym. Suddenly I'm not trapped anymore! Suddenly I'm in a much better position, than 'controlling' guy! I'm not afraid of side control anymore. Thanks to you I know exactly what I need to do. Not only escape, but attack. And with details from this video I'm gonna polish this escape till I can get everyone in my gym into a submission!

[@TeachMeGrappling]

Awesome! Remember everyone will evolve as you do. Always adapt and overcome!! 💪

[@Drain_Of_Incantation]

Yeah, I've been using this exact technique in both my mma sparring and bbj- nogi and bathrobe style, and let me tell you: it is actually unstoppable. the worst that can happen in nogi is if the tricep slips due to sweat or exhaustion. But if they try to go north-south you're in a well enough position to reverse roll and knee-shield, hook your knees into their armpits, etc. The move is very fun to use, and i greatly appriciate your time to teach us, Coach. Subscribed.

[@kirkd81]

Amazing coaching and details , this has really helped me escaping side control against big heavy guys , Works almost every time & I no longer feel trapped or panic in side control against the 100kg+ guys 👍🏻👍🏻

[@phredbookley183]

I call this "Troubleshooting." Like, in normal move X? I might say, "Hey, Coach. I can't do X. This other thing keeps happening." Then Coach gets in and starts troubleshooting. If you do this level of explanation on other things, you got a fan for life, man. Thumbs up!

[@benfouladi5507]

Thank you so much for adding the mma details as well! I never realized how critical this position was! Your right, if someone is lifting there weight to drop a blow on you, it creates enough space for you to work that escape or threaten the darc. I am loving your video. Please keep positing more an more!

[@michaelcorcoran3942]

Yes I think the problem when people complain about this is just they themselves have not explored the idea enough. I have been doing it for a year or more now and you go through phases of it not working and you find a way it can work and progress through the problem. This video is like a one stop shop for it. Thank you. OSS

[@neophytemma768]

I fucking love your videos! You have great details explanations for your choices and answer what-ifs most people like myself would have. Best technique videos on the internet!

[@benfouladi5507]

Honestly, I started using this position as of last week when I came across your KZbin page. Every time my training partner asked me what position I say start on side control on me. Big guys small guys, all sizes and just from this small fine details you have given in the video it helps so much! I have utilized this with higher belts and experience grapplers even when they put me in that position after passing my guard and knee slicing, I still felt I had control an was not worried about escaping or advancing my position.

[@pamlemm903]

No joke as a new practitioner i came to realize how close the positions were and that their only difference was North/South and the variable impact that has given gravity. Was just thinking it would be awesome to have a breakdown of that topic by someone who is really experienced and knowledgeable. Thanks so much for your video!

[@ytamano]

I love this technique, it has been working really well for me. In fact, I have a lot more success with this than the traditional knee-to-elbow escape!

[@RobinHood-yk8og]

Awesome. I found this on Donny Blue's channel and have been trying to hit if for 2 years, but kept ending up escaping too far and disengaging. Finally managed to hit the Darce transition today!

[@Xanvu1]

Tbh this was/is a complete game changer for me thank you so much dude! Grettings from germany stallion cage!

[@mullm5375]

This is in my opinion the best grappling video i have seen in years many likes 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@martinvogel8876]

Hammer!!! Vielen vielen lieben Dank für deine Videos.

[@ryanrobbins2535]

in all my years of wrestling I have always thought of it positions where both people are in control because we are taught how to get into moves AND how to get out.

[@grizzlysilverback]

I've come along so late to this party but this is awesome. The flow is amazing, one position to the other, a counter for the counter and so on. Fantastic to watch..

[@MrSinusu]

Thank you for this video. This is a revelation to me. I am trying to incorporate it into my sparring. It's working tremendously well. I want to learn more from you.

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Great details yet again :) thank you.. I been doing similar escape but I didn't know it was called Ghost :)

[@TeachMeGrappling]

It’s just the most common name. 👍

[@mazaltopyoyos98]

Ghost escape is hands down one of the best escapes when on bottom in side control. I've been using it for 10+ years (on and off training), and it's like good ol' reliable. I like that you cover a lot of various details about specific situations in this video. I first learned it from submissions101.

[@climbhigh777]

Ive used this the past 2 days while rolling! Its so good. Im still working on that bridge, and the details on pulling the head when going for the d'arce was clutch!!!

[@johndoe4073]

11:00 - this is a wonderful illustration of what it means for having inside control through the use of the filling the space underneath the armpit. Thinking John Danaher and Priit Mihkelson on how the stress about the battle that takes place to control the inside position of your opponent through the use of wedges and underhooks. The leg positioning for the crucifix in this position serves as a great example and highlights the differentiation of those positions. The lock of the triangle around the far arm taking inside position vs outside position.

[@DavidWongfl]

Thank you so much for this Ghost Escape series! Please do that 4th video soon!

[@ashgnome]

Thank you very much, you have helped me with my weakest position. I struggle so much in it to bridge, frame, shrimp, this opens new way and even threatens submission, thanks keep up the good work!

[@folumb]

This is escape has gotten me into north south each time, I hope these details will help, this video answered questions I didn't even know I had!

[@TeachMeGrappling]

Sorry that happens a lot when you lose the arm control. Keep practicing keeping the arm and if you lose it, keep working guard replacement from there.

[@RenjithMohandas]

Thank you! Was able to hit the escape in rolling. Adds to my game

[@firstfighter7037]

Yeah!!... Very nice work!!! The fact that you explain your technique also for Situations against MMA guys, is superfantastic in my opinion. I'm very impressed! I don't have much experience in Groundfighting. Because i'm a Combat-Training teacher (Combat-Training is a mixture of Wing-Chun, Kick-Boxing and a little bit MMA and Krav Maga ...) in Germany, i love to see details in your Video that no one told me here. Best to you!

[@alphy79d]

Great teaching! I used your scissor choke at training yesterday and it felt very strong.

[@TeachMeGrappling]

Awesome!

[@tommycummings4018]

Thanks for the very detailed info. I used this last night rolling. I was unable to get the choke but I got out 3 times while rolling. That's with no drilling.

[@climbhigh7773]

My ghost is pretty good, but this is going to take it to the next level. I've been doing that back bridge a lot, which I learned from another video you made. Amazing coach brian, keep up the great work!!!

[@sharkfacelol6674]

Welcome anytime!

[@irongrip]

I've used two parts of the ghost escape already, it worked perfectly to just be heavy and roll opponent over. I will keep watching this to learn the whole concept. :) Thanks for a great vid Brian!

Awesome details coach. Thanks. I watched your other video yesterday and then tried it live in class. Before anyone could settle down into side control I was already out of there. One time I popped up to front side of the guys turtle and then tapped him with a guillotine. In general your stuff is always excellent.

[@joeygillock2492]

This is a bad ass move. I’ve used it a couple times but I haven’t perfected it by any means. I’m still a no stripe white belt, but this and the other vids have helped me in my game so far. I find my self in side control. A lot. So I’ve been looking at escapes considering most of my defense has been ultimately scrambling and ending up in a shitty position. Appreciate it man!

[@ItsXiant]

I always got stuck in side control because of my size. I can't wait to try this next week 😆 thank you, coach!
