Scarf Hold (Kesa Gatame) Submissions - Judo technique for BJJ

[@binwangcu]

Wife asked me to do some research how to fold the scarf, here I am.

[@luccasutton444]

i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I love any tricks you can offer me

[@viktorg8346]

Literally the best channel on youtube. Because BJJ people underestimate classical kesa gatame it's the way to tap everyone. Big benefit of it is that it's the easiest position to get to from standing position. Just catch someone's head and you got him.

[@mattsoskins4263]

1. This is an absolutely awesome video, thanks. 2. The victim turns more interesting shades of purple as this goes on.

[@xxxocampo7215]

As a beginner white belt, this is now my favorite move. No frills but really effective and it’s not even complicated. Oss 🤙

[@w12337]

xxx Ocampo same here. 2 stripe white belt and kesa gatame with these submissions is always my go to, unless I’m on the bottom then triangles are my go to coz of my super lanky legs. Keeping it simple and familiar is key at this level

[@wyattbreymeyer4033]

no stripe here lol kesa gatame is my favorite so far, especially if my partner has been doing knee on belly alot when i try to pull guard

[@InflamedGut]

the guard pass is so nice and effective! Most BJJ clubs don't learn this pass

[@jed2481]

Yes, I agree, on my second year of training and neither have I been taught nor have I seen or been victim of this pass as of yet.

[@간지킹-t8u]

Modified version of that pass is already very popular called Sao Paulo pass.

[@wk.7348]

Thank you for sharing this. I will take a solid Kesa over mount or nearly any other position. Absolute worst place to find yourself if someone knows how to work it.

[@raymondhardman7286]

This is how I got my first competition submission; Americana from Kesa. Thank you.

[@thomasreizoff7315]

Outstanding tutorial! A much-underutilized technique. Will definitely incorporate into my game. Integrates well with my body structure as I have short arms and legs.

[@leonyhenn1989]

very good video. My route is usually stack pass to kesa, your video shortened it

[@geckcub1]

Mahalo for the demo! Kesa gatame is my go to. That was the very first pin I learned in high school. Very powerful attacks from that simple position. Works so well against the non-judo grapplers !😎

[@jaybstreamshighlights6261]

I've deludedly convinced myself that I'll be subbing blue belts now

[@harageilucid4352]

Didnt work out like you were hoping, did it? 😂

[@lewisb85]

started adding the pressure pass to my game and opening up more options for me.

[@sammyk3152]

Bad ass attacks from Kesa Gatame... Its one of my favorite attacks in Jiu Jitsu... ...thank you Sir.

[@NatchetTaylor]

I love these videos you guys make, Mark and Sean! I’ve personally trained with both of these amazing instructors and their BJJ/Judo is seriously legit. I use those Kesa submissions all the time. In fact, I used that shoulder lock just yesterday.

[@nightsmock]

I love this position and really like how the pressure pass leads to it.

[@ronque23]

Holy crap! Awesome array of submissions from the scarf. I'm gonna have to really incorporate the kesa gatame into my game!

[@간지킹-t8u]

This is pure gold. Thx for sharing this

[@crossingdragon5032]

I dunno. At 1:27 it seems like uke could just post and try to climb up and around to toris back, am I wrong?

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

If you maintain head control and keep weight on the leg until the end, it is very difficult for uke to take the back. If he does somehow manage to get behind you, you have another strong pin with ura gatame as well as a straight arm lock. I did address this in another video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/sILKqYBmYpiXf9U just short of the 5 minute mark..

[@crossingdragon5032]

@@SeiryokuZenyo I wrote this comment before testing it out during my rolls. I found that trying it out it really does work how you show it in the video, the only problem I had was pinning their leg and stepping over. Thank for your time :)

[@averagejew]

thx. worked this last night and had a few of the upper belts revisiting their "fundamentals." I didn't get the tap, but it took them a long time to shut me down.

[@harageilucid4352]

Which part worked?

[@averagejew]

@@harageilucid4352 I did it 3 times. The pass portion was good, though now they are wise to it. Most guys in our gym rarely pressure forward for a guard pass and putting an arm around the head has never been taught in my 2 years. So I got the surprise factor on it. In the future I will loosen my lapel so that I can grip it from around their head, making the frame out against the neck tough. I got to do the side pressure portion on another white belt in a roll and it sucked, for him, but not enough to tap. The buzzer rang on that one before I could move to the arm bar. There's some solid techniques to counter this, so be mindful of controlling that arm and not letting them connect it in front of your neck for a frame or around your torso to roll you. Also if they do connect their arms in front, a blue belt pointed out that you can switch sides Even though I'm a 4 stripe white belt, In live rolls, my attack skills are limited since I'm old (47), slow and spend 98% of my roll time on defense. The slow mans pressure game is all I've got and this move plays well if your spirit animal is more long toed sloth than mongoose. I can't out hustle these guys in their 20s and 30s and have to play a different game.

[@harageilucid4352]

Andy: Thanks a lot for your reply. The pass is the piece im most skeptical of so its interesting to me that it worked for you, even if it might partly be surprise factor. Holding thehead up seems good but otherwise it contradicts the number one principal i was told about being in guard; posture up.

[@averagejew]

@@harageilucid4352 I was skeptical too but IMO the pass is solid, especially if you connect your hand to your lapel AND you pin their arm on your way through like he did. Your risk of sweep or attack is much lower vs other passes where you battle arm bars, triangles and chokes. You may get slowed up if their feet won't unlock, but like he said, just keep pressure/adjust and it will break. It's tough sledding though for you if you let them frame against your throat and you don't have a grip on your lapel... your bicep muscles will never beat that frame and you'll lose their head and your back. I'm not at that foot lock level that he showed, but that's there too. OSS. BTW when I did it, I didn't wait for them too pull me into guard and break me down... I let them have the guard and started smashing forward so I could test it. They definitely were not expecting that the first time and now they've got to beware.

[@坦然無懼]

Nice and simple. I’m going to try this tomorrow

[@MyDadIsBillGates]

damn dude u dropping knowledge bombs here

[@drutgat2]

That was great. Many thanks for posting it.

[@snootcity]

Fantastic adaptations thank you

[@mariofarias169]

Excelentes transiciones..oss

[@teabone5723]

Great stuff... Thank you! 🙏

[@mikex272]

Very nice. I feel bad for the Uki lol. This guys pressure and old man strength is probably ridiculous from the top.

[@BradM766]

This is a big guys playground right here. Sit-outside is my dominant position. 🤙🏻

[@moolgaeong3841]

와 지린다 this is awesome thank you

[@christopherirwin934]

This is great, thanks!

[@man-e4g637]

What a absolute killer

[@davidarutyunov4625]

Thank you!

[@davidarutyunov4625]

I caught a purple belt with the pressure pass from this video. Huge confidence builder for a whitey 3stripe.

[@SuicidalBuu]

Awesome stuff

[@robbelliii]

Great technique thank you

[@ddinks6893]

I'm seriously interested in trying out that guard pass at the start of the video.....who has experience with it ?

[@SeiryokuZenyo]

It is my go-to pass when I am in someone's closed guard. I have an extremely high success rate with it. Just remember to keep flat and never let up the pressure on your opponent's leg until you are completely clear. The first few times until you get comfortable with the pass, you may end up having your back taken if you lose control of your opponent's head. If that starts to happen, turn into your opponent and try to establish side control.

[@JiuJitsuDad]

This is gold!

[@DjTractus]

Good for Catch too

[@jamessjovall5271]

Great video. Arigato!

[@tommylmontoya]

No Foot Lock :(

[@fewhavestrength]

awesome!

[@hayek218]

good stuff

[@wyattbreymeyer4033]

i think the best submission from kesa gatame is pressure lol

[@WAYT00Much]

That guys face is apple red

[@kostassakellariou9972]

Genius and nasty

[@jitsulee652]

Okay with all due respect... BJJ offers you elevator sweep. Not a good idea to break posture and overextend to hug the person while still in guard.

[@bubbagumpshrimpheroin8487]

Jitsu Lee yea because 50 years of grappling wouldn't know about the risks and payoffs of every technique... sit down kid, and learn to add to your grappling education, you never know, you might just pull this pass off after having your posture broken.

[@chadbaird180]

Bubba Gump Shrimp&Heroin just straight up smokes the white belt kid hahah

[@benkenobi01]

Great video, thank you!
