Pretty sure this is the video that got me hooked on Henry Akins teaching. I became a member of the mind blown club as a brown belt and have had huge improvements in my training and understanding since. Would love to do a seminar!

[@jodybond]

I love these late stage defenses and escapes. And I think as people get better at defense it forces partners to get better at offense.

Old white belt, hit this on my 1st try . Works amazing!

[@matjiujitsu]

Small détails but so important. Thank you

[@scottnelson8153]

You always make things so much easier!! thanks

[@amancio2446]

My man! Mahalo for giving me another tool to try and survive! 🤙🏽

[@FR-ty5vn]

Nice 👍🏼 - similar to one Stephan Kesting uses except he plants the fist on the ground and ends up spinning around into top side control…Osss!!

@@FR-ty5vn I’ve watched that, it’s interesting but he does the opposite and passes around to the other side, I’ll have to try both

[@jnwoodard8764]

The triangle always seemed like a terrible sub to get caught in, but if you control the angle and stack it’s really easy to get out of.

[@gallowitz100]

When people do this to me I switch to an armbar and do a spin under so I get the armbar.

[@WimDeputterBJJ]

Unless the person on top keeps his weight exactly in the middle and gets you stuck in the stack.

@@WimDeputterBJJthanks for you guys ‘ comments ! Very on point!

[@quethhughe6111]

Wow amazing details. Thank you for sharing professor. Oss

it's all in the coordinates! thx for sharing 🙂

[@Doku_Tigre]

wooow man!! so simple, but so good! thanks a lot!! 💥💥👏💪🏼😎

[@chrisbaldwin3148]

I don't see this being effective if the guy on bottom is proactive about shoulder-walking backwards and not allowing the knee to be stacked into his face.

[@Thresholdism]

yeah tried this on someone who kept sliding/shrimping back..couldn’t do this move

[@MikoAnch]

I'm gonna try this-- thank you!

[@ArteSuaveEconomist]

Henry is so close to being out at 5:50. Nice vid

[@brewjitsu429]

Finding the T spot. :D

[@Chewbacca2000]

Amazing!! Thanks man!

[@exponentmantissa5598]

I wonder if that works for the same reason as the can opener where you are in a persons guard and pull their head forward off the canvas. I have had it done to me and it makes you surprisingly weak.

[@john-ze7eu]

Good teacher. Glad he cut that hair tho

[@jasperwilliams4651]

It seems a way to defeat this escape is for the person on bottom to underhook the opponents front leg. See Josh Barnett vs. Gordon Ryan and Khabib's last UFC fight.

[@JSMinstantcoaching]

Would you say that size matters here??

[@mattgrosch6863]

Can he use his right hand to grab your leg and stop it from stepping forward?

[@ciobanucatalin6187]

Could he transition to an armbar ?

[@philweed1603]

Yes, he can. That’s why this “escape” is risky as hell.

[@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027]

@@philweed1603 getting triangled is more risky

[@philweed1603]

@@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027 There’s other defenses less risky. That’s the point here.

[@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027]

@@philweed1603 smash vs triangle, posture up vs the armbar seems like fundamental stuff?

[@golddee2040]

Best triangle defense I have seen is done by both Rener Gracie and Keenan Cornelius. This one looks like a good one to do if the guy is a dick and you don't like them, but there is a much better one to do that doesn't wreck your training partners neck.

[@embomb701]

Seems legit and all, but will this work against people who are super flexible?

[@JiuJitsuNerd]

I’ve been using this escape for a few years, and (for me) it does not work on extremely flexible training partners.

[@aihategoogl4684]

Problem is that the bottom player can grab your leg and control you

[@christotheedge]

great way to get arm barred lol
