How to Escape Most Submissions | Jiu-Jitsu Principles

Hundreds more class instruction videos at Patreon.com/KnightJiuJitsu
There is a principle I use all the time when discussing escaping submission attempts, whether early escaping or late escaping. I refer to this as the "Fish Hook Principle" and I explain the story behind why in the video. Most all submission escapes operate under this principle and the rest is just timing and technique, which is simplified by understanding this underlying concept. Hope this helps!

Great video!! Thank you for sharing the thoughtful approach! If you decide to make part two on this principle, I would vote to see escapes from the triangle, rear naked choke, omoplata, and americana. I feel like each of those has a similar balance point or barb, and as a set, those 4 would basically round out most of the ways I find myself in trouble as a beginner!

Thank you again, Prof. Knight, for sharing your techniques with the world. You video shows techniques seldom taught during regular training sessions. Usually they would be taught mostly as tips from higher belts after training. Once Gordon Ryan said he had not good BJJ before training with J. Danaher because of poor escapes. He said the fear of failing an attack and poor escape skills gave him little confidence. He said Danaher improved his escape skills and therefore had no fear of counter attacks. And you addressed my escape issues right off the bat. I am very appreciative of your BJJ contributions to the community. I wish more professors would be thoughtful of the beginners as you are. Again, thank you. God bless!

Man, thanks for cutting through the BS and breaking it down to this basic concept. One of the things I hate the most about other online trainers is how they keep repeating phrases like "Most people teach this wrong" or "this is fine for white belt". Like, why isn't there a consensus on what to teach beginners (and if it's correct or not)? And why are people teaching techniques and escapes that only work on other beginners and people who have no idea how to fight to begin with?

@@KnightJiuJitsu I don't think it should put you off, you could always try make a few? I found this one engaging enough. To be honest I think it's what helps to define an art to a deeper level. There is an infinite amount of possibilities with techniques when considering variations but it's the thought process that underpins everything and links it all together. Otherwise people are just accumulating a rather than consolidating. Obviously technique is important but principles are what enable creativity.

Me and a couple friends tried to get into bjj late 2019, but before we could get into it covid hit and the clubs and places we were going to all had to close down. We only just started getting back into it (and we are staying safe only rolling with one partner so as not to spread things) but Im so pumped to try all this cool new stuff with my friend. We only got back into it a couple days ago and each day we're learning new moves to counteract each other's submissions and get into more advantageous positions. Definitely gonna keep binging videos from this channel and others. Also if you have any helpful tips for beginners other than your basic "stick with it" by all means I love new info.

I’m glad to hear you’re back training and rolling. I hate that places are still closed down, but grateful that there’s still training. Obviously keep at it, be patient and all that.

@KnightJiuJitsu Жыл бұрын

That’s a good question, and it applies, just a little differently: the wrist is the tip of the hook, the elbow is the barb. When the arm is wrapped, your chin typically needs to face the wrist and you need to chase the connection to open space. If you turn into the elbow, often (not always) it make it worse.

@jiujudo1307 3 жыл бұрын

@@KnightJiuJitsu I concur 100% on the timing part! The first escape, getting the elbow to the ground is a must! I was taught to get the attacker's back leg between mine. That creates the space for pulling that elbow down and out. Timing! When swept, flipped, thrown, etc, follow and roll with a roll, follow a sweep with a sweep. I'm not being cocky, or, disrespectful, Give this a shot, Have someone from the guard "hip bump" sweep you. Don't fight it, follow it! See where you land? Marcelo Garcia show me the perfect back step pass from half guard. Back step, yet don't allow your butt to touch the mat. Quickly pull your trapped leg out while based on your back stepped foot. Done with speed it will have you mounted on your partner. Sorry if this is not articulated via my words. I'll try to find a video of it? Anyway, to your point, Timing!

What’s the “barb” when you’re defending an Americana when someone has a solid side control preventing you from turning easily?

@KnightJiuJitsu 3 жыл бұрын

The bard usually always will refer to the hinged joint of the limb (with exceptions), so in the case of Americana it would be the elbow still. If it’s too deep to pull free and there isn’t space to push through, then tap or snap. Any submission fully locked should be inescapable. This is just a principle for escaping when possible, early or late.
