Kani basami

Kani basami is one of the most dangerous moves in all of grappling. Brian shows a variation of Kani basami here. Hope you like it. Me and Brian go way back. We are constantly sharing knowledge and working out. He is an Amazing BJJ black belt. You can check out his KZbin below!

Thanks for having me!!

[@chrismaks2518]

Jean Luc Rouge once said "Kani Basami is only dangerous because of uke's reactions." Sensei Shintaro's knee locking up as Sensei Brian puts in the hook is a nice detail.

[@bzglick]

💯 the resistance reaction to the entry definitely compounds the likelihood of injury!

[@Mtripp005]

I don’t believe that. The danger is where tori sets the lever.

[@Mtripp005]

@LRK20 I’m at a loss to understand what gets hurt if the joint isn’t locked. With all due respect, please explain what the injury would be?

[@Mtripp005]

@LRK20 I watched your example about a dozen times. I am a medical professional, and it’s obvious to me exactly what happened. Yamashita’s foot turns sideways as he attempts to block the throw. As such, his lower leg stays on the mat as his upper body folds down. Clearly why the leg broke. I still contend that the majority of injuries from kami basami are due to tori rather than uke.

[@josephmalone253]

@@Mtripp005 you mean to say the scissor action alone snapped his bone like a terrible shearing action? How strong do muscles need to be for such force? Is it an abductor or hamstring responsible for the break?

[@Bozothcow]

Funny to see you wearing a black belt instead of red.

[@travishaynes1180]

I've watched several videos on KZbin and it seems that when kani basami is applied as a defensive/reversal technique , when the leg is trapped , it's less dangerous and more effective. When it's used as an attack , the attacker's weight combined with speed causes injuries. It is really a beautiful move when done right.

[@galahad5658]

It is a banned move for a reason.

[@Vinny20.]

[@PanicGiraffe]

It is 1000% banned in bjj

[@pp00xyzzy]

it dangerous when leg at back drives on knee from behind causing knee to collapse and due knee blocking partly the collapse and calf bone gets broken. And there is no safe way to do it. in training on unresisting opponet there are but in match both players are in motion and details are not that controllable

[@PatternShift]

Not true. Saw a gnarly kani basami at a BJJ club that snapped someone’s tibia in half, and it was defensive (countering a single leg). Sounded like someone had fired a gun, seriously felt like throwing up just seeing/hearing it. Though granted that the path back to healing/training and long-term impact weren’t as bad as they would have been if it had been knee ligaments, it was a pretty gruesome spectacle.

[@FightCommentary]

This is a very cool technique. Thanks for showing!

[@zorioncosima7786]

This technique is common in Silat, we call this technique "guntingan"

[@Drikkerbadevand]

It gets real technical when you talk about the anatomy of why it's so dangerous. Mostly if the weight is going backwards and/or the knee is not in front of the foot, it's generally safe. But you see alot of people not understanding the mechanics who attack the knee from the front. Yeah it will eventually put them on their back but only after the body cant fall forwards anymore and the knee has been pried apart

[@TNTTestificate]

Silat guys tend to use kani basami a lot but theirs is a little different, perhaps that's why you rarely see shattered knees there

[@lilosnitch3247]

Because they dont do it super close. So its a bit safer

[@joshuathomas5279]

I'm glad to see some techniques that aren't just for judo.

[@henrikg1388]

Well, it is a judo move and the name is from there. It has been banned from competition since the 70s, I think.

[@alexzan1858]

@@henrikg1388 was banned in 1980s after a leg was broken during competition using this technique improperly. There is a video online of the event and you can hear the crack. I dont even recommend training this technique - there is a reason a lot have been left out in modern sport judo compared to kodokan judo. Many dont know that punch and kicks were included in the old judo variant.

Super clarity! Thanks for the superb examination and technical execution

[@Mtripp005]

The reason Kani basimi is so dangerous is because jerks throw it against ankles and knees. That is kansetsu nage and the person doing it should be adjusted in the locker room. Best in the shower. This version is safe and the opening for the leg lock perfect. Thanks guys.

Very dangerous technique that also opens you to be suplexed. This technique is legal in Sambo, but only if your attacking leg goes over the waist of your opponent, they also do a variation of rolling o guruma to get you into a kneebar.

[@boudibla4011]

Amazing, Amazing!! Great presenters, thank you both.

[@OGFITNESS]

just discovered your channel, loving it

[@YEN_calisthenics]

Look similar to Scissors Takedown, while Scissors Takedown seems advance. My martial teacher Silat focus on shoulder rotation to create torque on my fix posture leg

[@bzglick]

It is. The single leg variation allows for greater control also - rather than just throwing body weight into the attack, you have a tight grip on the upper body and the post hand which help

[@hailhydreigon2700]

Kani Basami means Scissors Throw

[@kempoonetwog712]

Very nice variation of the Kani Basami or Scissors Takedown Throw. A little different from the traditional judo version. Osu🙏🏼👍🏼❤️

[@disboigottafreetaco2580]

saw a clip of a guy almost breaking his opponents leg with the scissor takedown, and i do not really see a difference between his and your technique, sooo can you please tell me how to avoid breaking my opponent's legs?

[@jasper_42678]

Best way to avoid breaking your opponent’s legs is to not do kani basami.

[@barrettokarate]

In my karate school we would practice this move very often. We were more csideways with our partner though. Ours was more like the version Cung Le was known for in his fights. Obviously we never used it in sparring, we would have work on the technique.

[@Durante_di_Alighiero]

@Rune Age Mage Karate has many grappling moves (especially the okinawa styles).

[@ilnerdmiope]

Very dangerous technique, especially for the second leg thighbone and for the first leg foot. There's a reason if that kind of action is forbidden

[@edl533]

I often find that the more dangerous a technique is the greater the application in a self-defense situation. Although this technique has a rather high risk-high reward if applied correctly. Otherwise, you leave yourself vulnerable to attacks if you miss or you mess this up.

No disrespect meant to anyone, but I really don't understand what a judoka of Shintaro's caliber has to learn from a BJJ guy. Like seriously, his newaza skills really ought to suffice.

Are you holding a black belt in both arts now? Cross training is the best. My sensei has two and a half days for tachi waza, one day only newaza and one day mix of both. Best split in my opinion.

[@vindicatedafi]

Yeah no thanks. But it’s good to still practice these banned techniques to keep them alive. I just feel in all forms of grappling it should be banned. Especially in a tournament setting. Too many people using it badly and too many people not expecting it and getting injured.

[@pauloomss]

It is good to know, since it is legal in MMA

[@pauloomss]

In ADCC style no gi BJJ tournaments and sub only, kani basami is usually legal

[@vindicatedafi]

@@pauloomss good to know but not really use out of respect for your partners health. Self defense situation? Go for it. UFC is weird they allow this but ban other stuff that Pride allowed soccer kicks etc elbows coming straight down. I liked pride better because it was more stuff allowed kind of deal.

[@vindicatedafi]

@@pauloomss is Daki age banned? Or do they allow everything? In adcc?

[@pauloomss]

@@vindicatedafi daki age is a slam? Adcc only allows slams out of submissions. But if you ever train bjj it is pretty simple to avoid being slammed by either grabbing a leg, stretching the opponent's hip or letting go. So you shouldn't really be doing stuff that let's your opponent slam you.

[@Sinan_Haddad]

Hey guys, is kani basami allowed in judo?

[@J3unG]

Not anymore. Too many guys snapping knees and ankles. There's no way to respond to it properly. It's too fast and if done correctly will result in an instant ippon or your fuck the guy's leg up. It sucks for the person who gets it.
