  • At 1:13, can't the guy on top give up his right hand over hook, and move his right hand to the right side of the waist of the guy on bottom, and switch to over-under north/south? It's happened to me many times. Then if you try to spin you give up your back.

  • Wizard pimp arm??

  • Seems difficult

  • @MursuTheMan you're right but it's very easy and not that many steps and very effective

  • isn't this just like the back door escape?

  • 1:29 did he say PIMP arm?

  • @JBL1TZ dam straight he did

  • i love north south more than any other postition so this is perfect

  • Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks alot!

  • that was fuckin bad ass

  • This is a *great*, simple escape

  • Couch chris tosses ppls salads,in rolling end of convo

  • haha obviously there are multiple escapes, i was just stating the simplist one.

  • all u have to do from side control is push ur forearm into the opponents throat, forcing him to lift up. keep pushing until his lead lifts up enough for u to be able to get ur leg across his face, then u can push him into an armbar

  • @dolfan0 if that works for you, awesome... but wow does that not work for me lol

  • escape from side control into d'arce choke is a better move.

  • @sabertoothman you can transition to darce choke from there

  • thats way to compicated my brain hurt lmao

  • ahhh spooky ghost!

  • Sweet. However, I would expect nothing less from an Eddie Bravo brown belt. I just began bjj and our gym has a couple of monster wrestlers who are excellent at keeping side control which can make for a miserable few minutes. I'll try this tomorrow. Thanks and keep rollin'!

  • very nice,thanks.

  • The Ghost? T-Rex? Pimp Arm??????? Hahahahahahahaha lol...!!!!!! I like the moves ! I just don't know how you can make up your own name's for these moves!! They already had name's for them!!!!

  • @tysonkayla35 its called marijuana :)

  • rave music!!!

  • now thats cool

  • cool reminds me of a sit out

    I m old and out of it but I still love ALL MARTIAL ARTS ESPECIALLY THE GROUND GAME

    ITS ALL GOOD

  • cool move

  • Comprido first introduced this escape in his first VHS tape set and it didn't have any names like Pimp and all that stuff.....You give techniques to take credit for it when it was already out there in the first place. It is not the exact same technique but placing the Pimp arm under and rolling out is the same method Comprido used........Shameful art of renaming and claiming a technique that was out years ago!

  • @vincespell __Would all u 10PJJ haters get a grip and chill the fuck out! When the 10PJJ guys r demonstrating a technique, they never claim they invented the move. Of course the fuckin move has already been done by someone else. We only have two fuckin arms and two fuckin legs - how many combinations can there be! Sure they give the moves funky names - so what. When u're BJJ instructor demonstrates something to u do u tell him he's a sham 'cause someone has done that move before! FUCK!

  • @vincespell If you knew anything, you'd know the names are simply for memory. Giving something a title doesn't signify that you believe you invented it. Half-wit.

  • Love this escape!

  • it seems open and leading to me. i would never attempt this, course i got no belt and havent been on the mat in years but it looks like a trap. anyone know of a good place in slc? hit me up. i would like to get back in it.

  • nice! thanks

  • The music gots me fist pumping and the video hasn't even started yet :(

  • it works cus ur using ur whole body to twist so what's the other guy going to do stop u from twisting when u go for the half guard or try to reach for it the other guy sets himslf up for this by tucking hes knee in

  • Alot of haters saying it doesn't work... I've used it 4 times and it's worked for me 3!!!!!!!! You guys are haters that sit around the computer criticizing anything anyone does to help! TROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @LetsPlay1707 these faggs say it dont work cause they cant do it man

    i fucken hate ppl say shit dont work cause they cant do it

  • @NOMAMESilovecake123 Agree 100%... I honestly love this move.... No one expects it...

  • Ii heard psytrance at the begining of the video!

  • Wow I just used this technique in sparring just a couple of hours ago and it worked awesome!...I ended up right in his neck and got a guillotine choke from there! everyone was like..."nice move dude!"

    Thanks Chris!

  • @ astrodogdog

    6) not a power technique, a second bridge isn't necessary because your only using the roll to change your angles, not topple him over.

  • 5) This video talked nothing about the applicability of the move, and looks more like marketing than a honest attempt at thoroughly teaching a specific technique.

    BR

  • 3) Your overhook is holding his shoulder in place, which is ludicrous. What you should do is hold his upper arm and/or elbow in place to prevent a subsequent defense of your planned escape. Either close your elbow down to his or move your hand halfwards down his humerus.

    4) Why swing the legs in some weird fashion when you might more powerfully apply a small shrimp and bridge/roll forcefully creating the space which would be lacking, had the top guy had any game.

  • 1) You did not shrimp your hips away from him. You bridged for space and landed on your side.

    2) Locking your arm out like that is only possible if the guy on top has no idea of what he is doing. With any sort of game from the top guy, you could at best hope for keeping your right underarm in the crease of his hip.

  • How about you guys stop naming moves that people have been doing for a while......How and what does that have to do with ghosts....Pimp arm lol

  • good shiet

  • that one looks dangerous.. if the one on holds on to the underhook he got on the red shirts arm and uses his left arm to push down the "hip control arm" he can just go north-south and BAM armbar

  • Someone should teach the guy on top how to hold a proper side control.... joke escape.

  • @astrodogdog I use it and it works!!!!!!!!!!

  • F@cking awesome!

  • You 10 planet guys are good, but you guys speak a different language! Personally I feel it overcomplicates things, but thats just my opinion, no disrespect to 10th planet... Alright we switch from Pimp arm to whizzer to new york, chicago, delaware, mission control... It's great haha

  • that looks so easy.. I hate when I get stuck i side control.. I hope its as easy as you made it look.. Great job I really like this escape..

  • @BUDDHASPORT Dude i know exactly how you feel. I have been there too. It sucks but you just have to stick with it. It obviously may not work the very first time you try it, but try and try again and you'll be surprised at how many guys you'll catch with this. It is sneaky and unpredictable. The guy on top of you in side control does not expect you to disappear out from under him that fast and smoothly. That is why they call it the "Ghost".

  • I like this. Thank you. I plan to do this and then apply tha sucuri choke to the fool that dares to side control me.

  • Ghost ride the whip, ghost ride the whip

  • @FireProMMA i live ff5

  • hay man thnx really.

  • Nice, not nive!

  • Nive instruction. I'm not questioning the technique, but want to know the reasons behind what you do so I can understand better:

    1. Why wizzer instead of just keeping your forearm under his chin?

    2. Why swing straight legs close to the floor instead of bending the hip and knee and using the momentum in a faster, more explosive way?

    Thanks:)

  • @lorentzus Here's what I think. This is in no way 100% correct, or 100% accurate, just how I perceive it. Establishing the wizzer instead of keeping the arm under chin not only defends you from having your arm taken when you create the space to move, and get into sprawl control, but it gives you control over your opponent as you move. If you weren't holding his arm with the whizzer, nothing would be stopping him from adjusting as you rotate, and re-establishing a solid side control.

  • @RickMerchantttt

    I can see how the wizzer prevents/makes it harder for him to take your arm.

    I tried this in training. The main problem I experienced by going for the wizzer, was that I no longer could use my forearm to lift his chin up. He could easily put his chin and shoulder down to thighten the pressure on me and minimize the space I needed to escape. If he didn't thighten up, the technique worked nicely.

  • @lorentzus And the way I see it, the rotation movement used to get into sprawl control is very similar to thew motion of a pendulum. If you did what you recommended, you'd get more inital power, but it loses it's oomph, because it has low centripedal force. The longer the pendulum, the more energy it gets by swinging, and the easier the motion becomes in general. The longer, and further out you have your legs, the smoother, and more powerful the movement becomes. Cheers. =]

  • @RickMerchantttt

    Thanks for a good explanation!

  • Can't understand all the words and terms, but I love the techno music.  Great for dance-aerobics class.

  • i think this is a solid move... as long as you have good control with the wizzer and if you go for the kimura your arms will be wrong and probably help with escape considering your help will move away from his hips and help the head get through..the only thing i could see doing once he has the wizzer is to try and get him back flat on his back a regain top control

  • That left arm is like begging for an armbar to be put on it, but I can see this work if you are really quick

  • @Lovegear - but as soon as the guy jumps up for the spinning armbar or moves to position for the kimura, thats an even opening to hit the escape surely?

  • @FightersOnlyMagazine I agree. But I think an experienced grapplers chance of hitting you with an armbar or kimura from there is more likly than you escaping with this, unless you are really really quick, which isnt unlikely becasue this escape is a very fast one. However, why hook with the arm like that? But yeah I agree. You could purpousely "give " your arm to get an opening to escape.

  • @Lovegear - i'm not enough of a competent grappler to debate it thoroughly unfortunately, i will have to better knowledge. I suppose its just another tech in the arsenal, if the opportunity presents itself or the opponent seems reluctant to go for far-side armbars or whatever, thar' she blows. Otherwise, try summat else. Or, like me, just get tapped and start again

  • @FightersOnlyMagazine It is deffinately good to keep the arsenal big, so no hurting in knowing this tech of course. look at this one if you havent seen it before. A "surprise" technique as I call them: /watch?v=dLtgqR3mzDs&feature=r­elated

    I would nearly allways go for this one first.

  • I just don't see how a step over armbar or kimura are illogical counters. Not to mention if someone overhooks your arm from side control and pushes your hips you just transition to kesagatame which would kill this move instantly.

  • Another angle he says and the retard follows him

  • I don't know how any experienced grappler isn't going to go right for the amrbar or kimura the second you do this.

  • @rocknroll1984 well ur arm is up on him in the wizzer so if they go for a kimura they'd have to switch arms>thus blowing the move. then'd it would have to be a spin-around armbar and come on. theres nothing wrong with this move if u can create space to slip that head out by all means. worst case scenario is getting stuck in north/south

  • solid!

  • Did I hear that right? Pimp arm?

  • @utopiacubed my guess is they come up with these names to make it easier to learn. pimp can i guess make you link to the word control. so its a way of saying the controlling arm. just started watching these so im just guessing.

  • thanks

  • he will mount wen you go to he side

  • Young Jeezy - I put on (in the background) super hearing.

  • great explanation...

    just tell your cameraman not to circle with you when you want a new angle

  • But I want to learn the crack baby reverse guard

  • y wouldnt he just arm triangle instead of just side control

  • I believe that in a real situation, at 1:16, the guy with the blue shirt won't stay there. He will jump to the other side of the guy with the red shirt and apply a katagatame. Just an opinion...

  • Comment removed

  • that's slick. good stuff

  • Pimp Arm haha

  • nice video, but can you do something about the sound? The intro and outtro are super loud and the content is super quiet... really annoying to have to crank your sound up in order to hear the lesson only to scramble to turn it down when the outtro comes on with the techno music

  • The hand positions in the beginning we call "the knife" and "the seashell" in my neighborhood, but T-Rex and pimp arm sound cooler.

  • i think you cant do it with gi

  • dude i love that im ganna try that nxt time i go into da dojo

  • okay, I have to say this because everyone on youtube is traiditional gracie fucktards. The T-rex is also referred to as the picture frame ( forearm in the throat ). The pimp arm is the heel of your palm in the hip bone ( see 10th planet half guard to butterfly escapes for more info ). The Whizzer is a california wrestling term for the over hook. The combination of The Whizzer and the pimp restricts your opponents hip range and removes his base with his right hand.

  • This is indeed two different escapes + a submission all chained into one combination. I like it. Thanks.

  • wow lol i hate the terminology pimp arm lmfao Trex you "whizzer pimp arm" is preventing him from mounting you how? the only thing i understood was sprawl and Gable lock

  • The absolutely WORST BJJ instructional video I've ever seen. I do not see this "technique" I working one anyone remotely good.

    I'm a BJJ purple belt.

  • @toivanvr this move is incredibly old and has been used by tons of people for the past who knows how long... its nothing new... roots are from wrestling. Everyone just renames this or that.

  • ty ty!! Definitely putting this on my ipod to practice later :)

  • Is he doing anything here to prevent a far side armbar? It almost looks like he's just giving it away.

  • easy mount if you dont get that half gaurd

  • I'm re watching this video after adding it to my play list for a few months..I must be doing it wrong because I always land on the bad side of n

    orth south

  • THIS ESCAPE IS AWESOME !

  • i always enjoy checkin out the mats in peoples videos and these mats look super soft and fun to roll on. maybe cause i roll on puzzzle mats... awesome escape too!!

  • @smoothboner Ghetto!!! don't worry it only makes u better

  • I use this all the time it works really well but I never have that over hook there i just keep that arm under their neck to keep some space for the escape

  • the only thing i dont like is the over hook because the guy on the the top can spin into a armbar

  • @ 1:15 wouldn't it be so easy for him to put you in full mount?

  • @NinjaWarriorDude

    If your opponent attempts a full mount, you try to stop his leg with yours by hooking it for half guard.

  • There will be a ghost at the gym tonight...

  • I used it today against a green belt. It worked. But I never had the Wizard and didnt end up in sprawl control, but I got out of side control :D

  • Green? so you used it against a kid?

  • @WaDarkPhoenix at my gym.. they even give adults green now. I heard that it is becoming more common in BJJ.

  • Holy shit, ive never seen this.

    This was amazing!

    im tryn this shit out on saturday

  • i trying this tongiht mofawkers...

  • Sniffed counter: At the wizzer/pimp arm to underhook transition - beware of the arm bar (underhooked arm) threat.

  • @crlovitt29 To every move in jits there's a counter. you can't expect one move to conquer all. Like boxing Jab Straight jab jab hook Uppercut for the knock out. chain attacks you move here i move there.

  • Exactly what I though. Underhot arm looks in danger badly. thanks :)

  • my god this is fukin awesome

  • I see the wizer keeps him from just going to north south. nice I'l have to let guys pass my guard and try this.

  • call this the corkscrew

  • lol suitable name for the technique

  • It's a great move!

    yeah it can be countered by the guy going to to north south but everything can be countered you just need to do it hard I would bridge firt over my head then bridge again rolling to my knees.

    I think you could counter him going to north south by sticking an elbow in but you know it goes on and on

  • that wont work man... guy on top can prevent that jus bay not letting ur head away. blame me if im wrong...

  • Very Nice

  • very nice

  • is tenth planet jiu jitsu same as bjj? or is it modified?

  • @scottytissue456 It's evolved BJJ = traditional BJJ + new and revised moves

  • It's much more a no gi system than traditional bjj is, with the addition of some new stuff like the rubber guard. Loves a lot of new school guards in fact.

  • its specific in that it uses no gi, thus the grips of regular bjj are not possible. Also chokes involving the gi are impossible.

  • No shit.

  • I rly dig this escape. It has worked quite often for me. I learned most of my grappling from online videos like this. Most of wut works is 10thplanet for me. thnx a lot for posting these vids. they help me in the gym so much. =D

  • that escape was purrrty

  • LOL at pimp arm !! Dickheads

  • that move....its BEAUTIFUL! haha

  • hes in my ufc game eddie bravo

  • When I first learned move years ago (as the "back door escape") I passed it off a bunk reverse variation of the hip-heist to double-leg escape because it always put in a front head-lock. That over-hook(wizzer) makes a world of difference!

  • This move is perfect I just tried it today and it works like magic.

  • Great man thank you!

  • Great move! Thanks.

  • Looks great!

  • great vid.

    u actually explained it better than my teacher!

  • That is cool as fuck and looks like it doesn't take a whole lot of energy either.

  • its a little hard to do, if you make a little mistake you'll be on side control to the other side

  • This move is money...it doesn't matter how well the person can hold the side control position. It works best if you try a couple regular side control escape bridges and then quickly switch to this....it's too fast to prevent.

  • I agree with that. Go from one escape to another, and try to fake out our opponent.

    Explosiveness is a plus.

  • i think you'd have to think fast or be extremely flexible to carry out this against someone really good with the pin. When i've been pinned in judo i find i can hardly move an inch, especially with this pin.

  • The most dangerous thing in martial arts is when your opponent doesn't know or understand what your doing.

  • I would love for you to throw your leg up while I have an overhook..please do it for me in a comp. I could use the points from my sweep.

  • I agree.

    works only if someone doesn't know how to hold a sidemount.

  • I tried the ghost escape on the matt the other night. I had a hard time getting the wizzer. Any tips?

  • This move is not easy at first ,don't give up on it , when you drop your hips to turn throw and push your elbow into his shoulder to make space for wizzer ,the more you are on your side the better chances of landing this move , watch the video.

  • Not a fan of the Ghost. You'll get mounted trying to pull this move in MMA.

  • Will you still be able to Complete this, if the person on top puts a lot of shoulder pressure to crossface. I imagine it would make it more difficult let me know if that changes anything

  • More difficult ,a bit but you would need to stop him from trexing and getting on his side , if he trexies , he will get on his side ,and that's when you need to control his knees and go for mount . good comment

    rockos414 .

  • You are rite

    rockos414 ,but with the crossface you must make him look away from you his neck will not let him turn in to you , in order for him to turn he would need to brake his neck .

  • thanx for the info i'll try it out

  • This works PERFECTLY....BUT! I did it last night and did not keep the left arm close to the body and got reverse armbarred once...its cool though

  • I agree - there's more space then you'd ever get in reality from anyone decent. With that much space you'd just get your knee in and work back to guard

  • I dont mean to be a dick. But alot of jiu jitsu guys are putting alot of wrestling into there game.

    The guy on top on his knees. You just dont see this crap anymore. There now usually sprawled out, and putting so much pressure on your chest. Collapsing your lung or lungs. Its just not like this.

    Sorry!

  • side control with both knees up is not crap, if you isolate the armnear your knee its very hard for the bottom guy to get out... everything is about space, make it and use it

  • It is crap. You just dont see it any more. You talk about pinning his arm with your leg. He can easly bend his arm and cut in your leg inside with his elbow.

  • Bananabread, not to be a dick or anything, but I doubt these guys would make a video and post it on one of the most popular Jiujitsu channels if they hadn't tested and drilled this move repeatedly.

  • Comment removed

  • The rules of jiu jitsu are flexible, you need an open mind ,I did this move yesterday , and what's wrong with wrestling in your game ?

  • Whats wrong with wrestling in your game. Absolutly nothing. The rules in jiu jitsu are not flexiblity. The rules are to win. lol I do have an open mind. Watch my vidoes. They dont say freestyle wresling or catch or jiu jitsu wrestling. Just wrestling. Because I study all forms of wrestling.

  • The video is of submission wrestling ,and if you would watch more Jiu Jitsu you would see that you do not need to be sprawled out in side control to be effective, my instructor is, Rodrigo "Comprido" Medeiros of flo mma ,and the two of Eddie Bravo top student know what they are doing .I watched some of your videos, and the one you got on passing the guard , I used it yesterday and it did help me pass the guard it was a good move.

  • Thank you for the comment. I respect your opinion. But I still must disagree. Try sprawl side control. See how that works. Keep your hips low to the ground. You will see how hard it is for him to get his guard back on you. I tryed this with a judo instructor just yesterday. He loved it!! So just try it.

  • You do not need to be sprawled out in side control at all times , some times you do and some times you don't , in fact there are many ways to be in side control .

  • keeping the hips low in side control  is a standard judo practice... all of their pins are achieved by lowering the hips and bringing down full weight on the opponent. Sprawling with the right grip can completely paralyse the opponent and i think its the best way to side control unless you are baiting them for a counter

  • Uhh...'Sprawl' side control or long side control or whatever you want to call it isn't necessarily better or worse they're good for different things. Sprawl is more crushing and slightly harder to escape (depending on the person) but it's way less reactive / offensive... Watch a small but highly skilled dude vs. someone much bigger than them...I doubt they'll ever go to sprawl side control because they need to keep their ability to transition to knee ride or north south if the big guy explodes

  • So I paraphrased. lol

  • Great Video, the music ??? Thanks for the post!!!!

  • So when are these 10th Planet guys going to win any major comps like ADCC ?

  • b4 you do the slide you could try a jail brake. and then that would add to the momentum of your spiny escape if they counter your jail brake.

  • WoW! Very slick move if you can pull it off.

  • Appreciate the tip!  Great explanation.

  • -cont...... when I corner my Sudents and yell "crack head Control!" they know exactly what I want. a simple, catchy term for a fairly complicated postion.. it's working for me and my students. good enough.
