[MRarmbar13]

fake the americana, then go to armbar. that move is sick. ill try and pull that at the gym for sure!

[EssTehFawn]

please put somethin in the video telling people that do no gi BJJ that they can put their thumbs in, for the beginners

[AFGalwayz]

i'm having trouble with this move because when i go to pin their arm down (in this vid the right arm is being set up for the americana, the opponent will buck me and sweep me to his left). i'm having this problem for the kimura as well from the mount. that is as soon as i pin their arm down, they will buck and sweep me to the opposite side. but using your forehead to pin the forearm i wasnt doing and i think it will help

thanks a lot

[tywainwright1]

@AFGalwayz I think maybe if you keep your hips low that wouldn't happen, it would make you heavier and harder to buck off, hope it helps.

[dragonbut]

Nice video! I did my first jujitsu lesson over the weekend, amazing art! love it!

[munkymaskproductions]

Their logo is the biggest rip off of the Gracie jiu jitsu logo

[jamesundeee]

@munkymaskproductions Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is from the smae people of gracie jiu jitsu..

[tycoon121]

Oo, i learned this in my japanese jiu jitsu class. i love it :) we call it o niki daki(not sure about the spelling) in brazilian jiu jitsu you would call it americana

[thetigertony]

dam hes fast..A++++

[guitargod01lovesBJJ]

what is power against technique?

[gat0rbball]

Depends on the size of the guys and the type of fight. A slip in a real fight means death

[tomdewilde1]

@guitargod01lovesBJJ; Very good point. Just 1 small remark: why are there different weight-divisions in MMA? (or any fightingsport-competition)

Technique is a saver, but not a winner per definition.

[mstwntd16]

hahaha i did that americana to armbar to my friend today and it worked! TY TY

[fightstardeluxeco]

MMA is the greatest sport you can practice.

Look for my ultimate flying mma techniques

[KissTh3Skull]

yeah, you gotta have experience cutting each weight for sure.

[KissTh3Skull]

well i've wrestled all my live and started doing bjj 7 months ago, and theres nothing wrong with being the strongest and biggest in your weightclass in wrestling or jiu jistu. take any advantage you can get

[PhilTHC]

How the hell is it a problem in the first place?!

[KissTh3Skull]

cutting weight? or trying to cut to much weight

[PhilTHC]

Well if cutting weight is a problem then yeah it can be hard, but once you get use to that, you'll have a much bigger advantage

Rather be big and cut weight than be small taking big guys

[KissTh3Skull]

thats what im sayin, unless you just wanna be real short with a lot of muscle mass and fight bigger guys (see Frank Shamrock) it really is better to cut weight though

[Snoochy2006]

In all the high level tournaments, you fight the same day you weigh in. So you really have no time to recover. I don't cut weight when I fight, but I would think that wouldn't be good.

[tomtheallrighty]

In all high level tournaments, you fight the same day you weigh in???? Since when? Pro fights you weigh in the day before. Some amateur tournies you turn up and have your fights on the same day though...

[Snoochy2006]

Theres no such thing as "Pro" or "Amateur" Jiu-Jitsu, lol. I competed at the World Championships in Long Beach and I had to fight the same day I weighed in. Look up the rules kid.

[tomtheallrighty]

Wow, patronising much? There is such a thing as pro or amateur when you consider many promotions allow fighting across martial arts forms and these generally have amateur/semi pro/pro bandings. Considering that the guys comment previous referred to Frank Shamrock, a UFC fighter, it can be assumed we're talking in terms of this type of competing. So no, you do not weigh in the same day you fight in ALL high level competitions. Look up the rules kid.

[Snoochy2006]

Shut the fuck up. Jiu-Jitsu is not MMA! Its it own sport and there is no pro or amateur what part of that don't you understand. I said Jiu-Jitsu like 5 times. The ibjjf states you must weigh in the same day you fight with your gi on, if its a gi competition. Read what I write first stupid. Jiu-Jitsu, not MMA, not Judo, not Boxing.

[tomtheallrighty]

Actually you didn't say Jiu-Jitsu until after I'd mentioned pro tournaments, also regardless of what you'd said, the previous comments to which we both responded mentioned UFC fighters, so your comment specifically about Jiu-Jitsu was redundant anyway. I won't bother trading insults with you online since anyone can talk a good fight, but if you would like to back up your words, let me know and I'll msg you the next few competitions and promotions I'll be fighting in so we can meet in the ring...

[sirwilliam1989]

@Snoochy2006 I actually just competed in a Jiu Jitsu competition and I weighed in the Night before without my gi on. it was a gi competition. I think it all depends on who is hosting it and how they want to run the competition

[joshbutterballfilms]

i do brazilian jitjutsu

[lllChokelll]

Really good stuff all around!

[Theophilo123]

i am form brazil and i had jiu-jitsu lessons from the Royce gracie he is awesomeeeeeee

[bulldog1010123]

im getting lessons from Crosely Gracie

[boorens18]

lol I love how the blue guy just lets go of his clasped hands to allow the armbar....he coud easily just keep holding and roll out

[soldiermedic12345]

In wrestling the goal is to be in the best shape possible. I would think the same would be true with any sport involving weight classes... jiu-jitsu included. I never said that jiu-jitsu was not technique oriented either, i was only denying the fact that wrestling is all about strength. Sure, it helps, but the goal is to be in the best all around shape... after that technique will always win a match. Wrestling is a thinking mans game too... its not a grudge match.

[captainxfern]

Jiu jitsu = technique

wrestling = strength

technique beats strength

[soldiermedic12345]

if you think that wrestling doesnt involve technique than youve OBVIOUSLY never wrestled before. In wrestling Technique > Strength... unless youre an uberpussy

[mccloskeybros11326]

im 16 in high school wrestling but im trying to get into brazilian jiu jitsu. jiu jitsu beats wrestling

[mikeyleemedina30]

depends look at randy

[ATR108]

all this arguing fuck jujitsu its all about wrestling

[yeee941]

Why do people throw full guard if its not even an attempt to keep the person from postering? But more because its a sloppy lazy move?

[yeee941]

Then how come Gracie Jiu Jitsu defeated men 400+ lbs. But The Father of GJJ couldnt defeate somone with 20 lb advantage? I do BJJ,My instructor is Charles Dos Anjos who got his Black Belt from Royce Gracie,I am just making sence here,dont throw a temper tantrim

[yeee941]

Either way,Helio didnt lose because of weight,Kimua was just the better fighter.

[geraldfoushee]

it all looks so smooth till they lock you in that CAGE and the guy starts hitting you in the face.

[TheSwip3z]

2 weeks so far in BJJ

and watching this video refreshes my brain

and watching to what will come for me in the future

=)

[elarius0]

wait so owner is a purple belt and the instructor is a brown belt whats up with that..

[phi1166]

Tim is his head instructor. It's Pat's school. What's the problem?

[prd1000]

Phi1166, That's a great explanation! Seems pretty easy to figure out to me.

[rdbrooks]

the teaching level in BJJ is much different than other martial arts, purple belt is the lowest level allowed to teach, due to the fact that it takes alot longer to reach each belt than in other martial arts because there are less belts.and because there are less belts the practictioner needs to be very proficient in their art.

[elarius0]

thanks

[what1ever2guy3]

I need to learn how to do this stuff

[sandanlebah]

just be nice guy...nice heart!!!

[shortflim]

sweet thanks love this stuff

[jaubz11]

its called a kimura, not an americana

[SpeakinAxiom]

both.

isnt it spelt kimora tho?

[UmDiaEuFicoBom]

nope... it`s kimura. it`s named after masahiko kimura, who used it to defeat helio gracie in one of the most legendary fights in martial arts history.

In judo it`s called ude garami.

[Nateydoggy]

gracie never lost, i should no im training in his acadamey

[UmDiaEuFicoBom]

dude, there is an entire family of gracies and you can`t be practicing in Helio Gracie`s academy because he died this year. You may be practicing with one of his sons.

The only Gracie I know with no losses on his record is Rickson. Many of them lost to the same guy, Kazushi Sakuraba.

Helio Gracie did lose to Kimura, but he lasted a lot longer then Kimura said he would and Kimura was a lot heavier. After the fight, Kimura said Helio`s technique was impresive.

The move in the video is Americana

[yeee941]

It was untrue about Kimuras weight,he was 7 lbs heavier than Helio. But BJJ has evolved since then..allot. I belive Helio would win if they had a re match.

[TIKI1234567]

actually, that is an americana you idiot.. the kimura is a very similar looking move to the americana.. get your sh!t straight

[yeee941]

With the americana the head being pressed down also prevents any facial damage in a street fight because the face is away and out of reach,and adds more pressure,really great stuff

[3buttocks]

when you bridge your hips on the armbar, how do you avoid crushing your balls - im just learning the armbar and it presented a problem :)

[archangelarcanis]

you should use the inner thigh or the front of the pubic bone when you lift. You shouldn't have to lift unless your partner is double jointed. If they aren't particularly flexible in the elbow it is likely something missing from your technique.

[Apoplexy123]

wear a cup :).. or if you do the arm bar right you should be sqweezing your thighs together just above your own balls to lock his tricep/bicep and your balls should be sweet.

[Slic2121]

well im sure you've figured this out my now, but ya, try a cup for training..in the street, if the tech is done properly, their elbow wont rest on your balls, it will rest on your pubic bone and maybe your pecker depending on how endowed you are lol..but overall it doesnt present that much of a prob when your adrenaline is going and you want to hyper-extend your enemies elbow..in other words..the end justifies the means =)

[gambattekarate]

Very nice. I've been having issues with getting the Americana because the guy puts his hands together just as you demonstrated. I'll try traversing to the armbar now. Thanks!

[SalvySauce]

Awesome video, I had a training partner who was good, and I managed to get a mount position, but he kept locking his hands like that and I didn't know what to do. I will definitely try this next time thanks guys! :)

[okmadam06]

gracie is a complete tithead, from the start in ufc 1 he thought he was amazing, ego like a dickhead, he just jumps on ppl, he has no stand up, and he tries to invent stupid stupid STUPID things like, a fucking palm strike or a ridiculas heel to the ribs, its somthing a 5 year old wud do in a fight

[SalvySauce]

BJJ is more for self defense. Jiu-Jitsu or rather Ju-Jutsu (Japanese) translates to "gentle skill" or "gentle art". It's not focused on striking like kickboxing or american boxing. Say what you will but it's effectiveness has proven to been proven in real life hand to hand combat, and in sports such as MMA.

[ultimatehammer]

Royce Gracie invented the palm strike and is the only Gracie. You heard it here.

[beefychief300]

so the people he fought in UFC 1 and 2 had no ground game and they all lost

[72ve17]

great move

[cotonclown]

tanks for you video sta chido

[tatito3223]

Excelente video amigos !!! Nice moves... Congrats Robert !!!!

[robertdrysdalebjj]

Great demonstration of bjj Matrix moves. In Robert Drysdale Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, I am getting bjj training under Robert Drysdale, 6 time world BJJ Champion. Visit his official website, RobertDrysdale Net to watch Bjj videos and to learn bjj techniques.

[showsumluv91]

Hey nice video. was grappling with some friends this past weekend and i mounted this dude like 100 times but he was really strong so everytime i went for the armbard he was able to keep his arm close to him so i only had his hand. How can i get his entire arm? and on the Americana i might need to adjust my body more but i couldnt get it either he was really strong got any tips for me because im going again this weekend and i wana finish him one of those ways. Im tired of just choking him hahaha

[irritatedpsycho]

make sure to arch your back for leverage while pulling back on the arm. its not about strength, its about leverage.

[IXAMXNOTXDEAD]

Strength should be a porblem, have you had formal training? Your technique probably isn't right, talk to whoever trains you about your technique. If you don't take formal training you should be doing this stuff.

[aj31313]

also injury to thumb hurts like hell

[allnamesalreadyused]

It's the monkey grip. :D It's got more power in it.

[phildamo94]

why aren't you supposed to use your thumbs??

[drtydutchman]

Hey I want to learn bjj i live in Absecon by A.C. how far of a trip would it be for me to get there?

[prd1000]

About 40 minutes.

[quantumjim]

I love Timmy's sweep!!!

[DefilerhXc]

great techniques, but it always goes a bit differently when your grappling and u end up in an armbar, id love to train at this place tho.

[renan150123]

nice academy....great space and equipament....

[live7x77]

This is great School!!! Good Job Guys!!!!

[ojay67]

"as he moves i cum and finish"

[heron183]

i love americana armbar....

hehehe peace mam

[YogaTeacherTraining]

I trained with Pat last time I was in Philly he is great. Your school is going to fill up fast,

[shawndenmark]

Congrats to Team Balance on bustin' into NJ. Good luck, and good training. Keep posting the vids, I like the sweep, great job.

[xabovethisworldx]

brown belt has is slick.

[TKDrulezzz]

that's the longest title ive ever seen :-p

[pchancey007]

LOFL No shit!

[JiuJitsuMatrix]

Thanks for all of the great comments! It really helps me!

[karelin275]

They both have on gi,s captain obvious, so were obviously not training mma here. And besides, do you see the little technique with the head to the hip.

[crwv]

Mr. Migliarese, I actually got to meet you at a tournament; I study with an affiliate of yours, John Hassett.

Thanks for the great videos.

[JiuJitsuMatrix]

Pat and Tim........... ya'll so good at jiujitsu

[joshv]

Sorry Pat! Everybody, LISTEN UP: Pat's the man. He's got tremendous chutzpah, a mean de la riva guard and that "je ne sais quoi". Plus he's really really good at Jiujitsu and a hell of a nice guy!

[jg2243]

Always great stuff from Phil...thanks for another great vid

[joshv]

Phil and Tim are both excellent instructors.They always show everything with great functional details. Good job fellas! I think that americana to armbar is my favorite move.

[prd1000]

Thanks a lot Josh. Can that Pat guy get a little love?

[grahamcoles1966]

they make it look so easy

[autoshop77]

The JiuJitsu Matrix is one of the best things that has ever come out of the internet. Phil is excellent. I train right outside NYC and I would like very much to drive to Philly and have a private with Phil at Balance. Keep up the great work I am on the Matrix everyday.

[socialFIEND]

This is what I really like about Phil's videos. He and his instructors always give you the tiny details that truly make for effective execution. Thanks for sharing guys. Please keep the content coming.

KK

[robingieseler]

Love the videos Phil. Hope you can come to Columbus some time for a seminar.

[pokireese]

great details

[fshift]

Awesome vid. Balance always puts out top stuff.

[yungluvr68]

Video has 4 techniques. (1) Basic Americana with good details. (2) Sweet and simple attack after one of the most common Americana counters. (3) A simpler Peruvian necktie which might take the high school wrestling world by storm this year. (4) A lovely sweep from the half guard when top man attempts a Brabo choke

[rak28]

Timmy gives Rich another little important tip. The forehead to the belly button is a very nice tip to avoid the crossface.
