The Scissor Sweep and The Concepts you’re Missing."

- Its no secret that the Blue Belt is considered by many to be THE most important belt in Jiu-Jitsu. I would never promote a student to Blue Belt without them first demonstrating a profound physical AND mental understanding of Jiu Jitsu and how to use it.
The reason why Blue Belt is THE most important belt is this...
...by the time you receive your Blue Belt you already should know most (if not all) of the fundamentals you’ll need to get your Black Belt. The foundation of your life long style and game can be set at Blue Belt.
This deep understanding of the concepts and philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu which create your foundation will guide the rest of your Journey up each of the belt ranks.
Having a TRUE Blue Belt measured by skill and understanding comes from refinement, timing, integration of multiple movement patterns in sequence. and, a lot of awareness.
In my “White to Blue Belt Course” you’ll discover:
The true practical and fundamental concepts, philosophy and STRATEGY of Jiu-Jitsu. There is a reason we do everything we do and it's important for students to understand those reasons.Jiu jitsu is NOT a random, haphazard, disjointed, unrelated, hodgepodge of “techniques”. (or at least is shoudn’t be)
Another element at the Blue Belt level that is often completely ignored and or barely touched upon is the history and usage of Jiu jitsu specifically for Self Defense and Vale Todo and WHY they were developed.
Self Defense is the core of the Jiu Jitsu I was taught and it is what I am sharing with you. I took me two years to assemble, organize and complete all of this content for you.
I do have a problem though. I expect there will be a sizeable number of questions about the course work. If you know anything about me as an instructor…. THE DETAILS MATTER! And my problem is because of the detail involved in the teaching and the true importance of the material, I simply cannot offer this to everyone, so please do not share this page with others. Please keep this to yourself. Seriously.
Here is what you need to know right now:
1) This is an exclusive group for ONLY White & Blue Belts who want to master the true fundamentals of jiu jitsu and the self defense it is rooted in. (I may (if necessary) let a handful of upper belts in depending on demand and need)
2) I’m sharing my entire White Belt to Blue Belt curriculum as taught by my own instructor and exactly what I’ve taught for the last 8 Years at Dynamix MMA.
3) Every Sunday 2 technique videos are released (1x/week only so things can be extremely organized and easy to integrate into your jiu jitsu). Each week we’ll focus on mastering just two techniques fundamental techniques/concepts. And all the hidden details that really make them work.
4) During each week there will be additional Live Coaching & Bonus Videos.
5) Each week you’ll have access to my progress report, and a short quiz to make certain the core concepts are cemented in.
6) And as my special gift and thanks to you for being "on the path" with me... I'm sending you a Hidden Jiu Jitsu T-shirt. (Allow up to 90 days for shipping. It just depends on where we are at in the T-shirt ordering cycle when you come on board)
Having seen countless students and friends go through this process its become clear that it takes a full year to build your foundation in to the point where is “automatic” in its execution when you’re training. I’m dividing the course in to two 6 month modules. But as always you can stop at anytime if you are not 100% happy and satisfied. All I'm asking in exchange is either $57 per month or $277 for a full 6 months. (you save $65.00)
I can GUARANTEE you that the guys training with me in LA either in my classes or privates are investing substantially more for access to this material... and I'm sure more than few are going to give me grief about the price break I'm offering you, but as I said....
Spreading the TRUE and FUNDAMENTAL “gospel” of jiu jitsu...THIS is what my life is ALL about...
Sharing with you what I consider to be the MOST EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT jiu jitsu as taught to me by the Red Belt Master Many Claim to be the Best Who Ever Stepped On the Mat.
I want to begin the White To Blue Belt coursework in the next little bit so please… If you’re interested in learning the fundamentals core concepts of my self defense driven jiu jitsu as taught to me by my very own instructor please click the link bellow!

Henry has so many different haircuts lol 😂
Just wanted to share this for people reading.
I am a smaller guy (150 lbs) and i was able to sweep people 200lbs. try to get a tight connection and time the scissor motion as you feel they are imbalanced. I was shocked how easy it was to sweep larger guys with heavy bases. THANK YOU HENRY!!!
Depending on how tall you are 150 is very likely ideal for longevity and long term health
thanks for this tip
Same I'm 155 6' tall. Timing is paramount and while it is frustrating while we're learning because every opponent is "big" it leads to better technique down the road
Hi Henri, I have seen the same Sweep taught by carlos machado but I couldn't understand the mechanics at all!! Like this everything is clear!!! Thank you very much!
Probably because he doesn’t do the sweep this way. Henry is the only person I’ve ever seen do it this way
rickson teaches like this on the defense course :)@@wlbernie
OHHH SHITTT... I'M BE WAITING FOR YEARS TO SEE RICKSON'S SCISSOR SWEEP.
Thanks Henry.
I would normally push with my leg like you are doing, if they fall great, if they don't it will normally be because they shifted their weight which in that case will help me load them into my leg and sweep them with much more momentum for me to go on top. But in both cases I am also grabbing the collar, as it is required for loading them but also it helps with the pushing.
So many amazing details
Pure gold! Thank you!
Incredible I can't wait to try this in class!
This is great, thank you.
Perfect… im going to try this tomorrow. Thank you.:)
Perfect and Ingenious .
Sensei Akins - Excellent video, thank you.
Absolute GOLD
Thank you....some great tips that I will try to incorporate.
Beautiful!
Love your videos Henry, thank you. You do a tremendous job of teaching concepts, which is more helpful to me than walking through the technique.
Amazing Details Henry. You've done it again. Taking the complicated and making it uncomplicated. Big Thanks !!
Your style of teaching is absolutely beautiful.
Genius and yes Carlos but good thorough explanation thank you!!!!!!
Wonderful details
Thank you much 🙏🏾
So glad to see this video Henry! I had a discussion with a black belt that was teaching the 45 degree variant as I prefer across the hip. As a brown belt, I started to doubt how I was teaching lower belts (I teach it this exact way). I will continue teaching it this way as I have loved your details throughout all your videos. They seem very common sense but not apparent "hidden".
This works great if your opponent remains sitting up high. But doesnt if your opponent leans forward when you turn on your side to smash you with his weight which stops the sweep dead in its tracks. Using a higher knee shield sweep prevents your opponent from simply doing this, that's why it's more popular. How do you counter that to complete the sweep the way Henry does it here?
@@ctsd623 I rolled with a girl I out weighed by perhaps nearly double her weight. her ankle at my hip wasn't able to produce enough leverage to move me, needed to be the 45 degree version or at my armpit. this way seems like it will work, but only on people around your size.
Outstanding. Immediate follow. Thanks Henry
Fantastic
How does this channel only have 5k subscribers? Oh well we will enjoy the secrets thanks Akins Sensei
I know... Please help spread the word!
@@HenryAkinsBJJ will do . And if you're ever in Baltimore and or DC MD area would love to have you come through/host ya
Genius
Wow!
When I first saw this video, I was a bit skeptical. As a purple belt, a lot of this seems counter intuitive to bjj logic but I’ve been trying it on my rolls and pulled it off a bunch of times already with ridiculous ease. Great technique!
I have tried this and Master Henry and Master Matt Thornton are very good at explaining the details to make it work.
Except Matt Thornton teaches to put the knee in the chest to prevent being smashed, unless he has changed up since I saw him years ago.
Matt taught this very different.
@@samuraisteve2775 Maybe he was showing a variation of the same move which was good as you know we adapt in the course of time as we continue to learn.
@@fcsguro1 I had my own school and he did a seminar with me twice. I have it on video taught differently. Matt specifically said he does not like the “shin across the hip” style, and thought the success rate was lower.
He said it will get smashed and you will get passed.
This was 2008-2009.
I would bet Matt was missing details that Henry has shown here.
@@samuraisteve2775 that is amazing that you had him teach there. Where is your school? I travel a lot due to work and I would love to go and learn from you if possible. Thank you
What is stopping him from smashing your knee down? Or I’m I missing somthing
I’ve always heard that you want to keep your knee angle high to keep from getting your legs smashed. How do you prevent getting smashed with this method?
What are your thoughts towards getting heelhooked with this variation of scissor sweep.
Asking out of curiosity, if we place our leg parallel to the ground on the belly of our opponent, isn't there a high chance of getting the kness pushed down? I mean the opponent can get over the knee and kill the leverage. I am a white belt trying to learn, no intention of challenging your ways.
When will Henry come back to Sydney?
Mr. Akins, does anything change if they collapse their chest and hug your legs prior to the sweep?
👊
I tried while rolling and didnt work. Maybe its just me but without pulling the arm there is no power
With the instep so low over the waist what's to stop your training partner from effectively sprawling?
I’m relatively new to BJJ, but aren’t you supposed to stack them over you and break their base before attempting the sweep?
I see the key... that foot on the waist n knee slightly down
whats stopping your knee across the stomach getting smashed down and passed ? is it the never less than 90 degree angle you spoke about? Does this stop him from getting position to smash you down and pass? thanks
Yes that's exactly why you don't collapse the leg smaller than 90 degrees. They just smash that leg, switch their hips and pass into side.
If your leg is extended with ankle at their hip they can't "jam" your leg
There's certainly a vulnerability at the very moment you turn. If your opponent has the presence of mind to slide backwards, grab your 90 degree bent leg and just throw it in the same direction as you're turning they can try to pass without smashing.
@@KaninTuzi you are right mate. But i think in every technique are good and bad thing's. There's always a risk that some times worth be taken.
@@jaimeneves2468 Yep
@@KaninTuzi Which is why getting a grip on his wrist (no gi) is a good detail. Prevents him from doing that
holy cow!! 🤣
On a more serious question. I really wish instructors would help me understand what core concepts or principles of Jujutsu they are applying to the techniques being taught. The loveliest thing about this art is understanding these ideas as opposed to step by step processes which never lands with me for the long run. I always forget steps. I mean the science is as interesting as the art but only one content creator has approached the topic seriously . I think they were called RVJ? RVV? A Canadian school. Would you consider a topic like that?
Check out Jordan teaches jiu jitsu
For some reason I’m struggling to get the sweep this way. I go to push through the hip and the guy doesn’t move
Are you sure you're not pushing sideways (i.e. to the left, as they are in the video). That won't work. You are supposed to pull the right hand and push forward with the knee. The rotation momentum is what falls them. At least that's my experience
09:55 If its no gi then he is not getting up, he is locking your legs
How do I keep him from sprawling back and smashing my leg?
I had the same question. If I keep my knee shield flat, I got my leg smashed and my guard passed. I would appreciate some feedback on how to address this issue
@@haochenli1204 He addresses this very question in his sweeps course. But the answer is if you do the sweep correctly you should still be able to sweep them.
Sure, that can happen. But, that is why he said to never bend the knee more than 90 degrees. Also you are controlling the hand so it is not that easy to sprawl.
I believe the collar cross grip could help against sprawling
why not show the same but with him trying to stay up
Hi Henry I'm 64 & in great shape.. karate at 6 boxing swimming up hill sprinting yoga ect ect.. am I too old for BJJ .???
Depends on the school where you choose to train. Will the students all try to smash you, or will there be guys you can train with who push you but are good enough not to constantly cause injuries? Go take some classes and ask the instructors these questions. But you are not too old if you find the right people to learn from.
@@mrtselfdefense4185 I Know All about You.... You are Like The Kama Bjj Guys Ryan & Dave More Self Defence .... Are U in Vegas?
@@MonacoRocha Different guy. I'm in Green Bay. Started with Relson Gracie in mid 90's, then Pedro Sauer, Comprido Medeiros and Carlson Gracie lineage. About 27 years of BJJ with some judo and non-BJJ jiu-jitsu thrown in. Being flexible and generally fit are a good starting point if you want to learn jiu-jitsu. Remember, moderation matters, especially when you are an excited beginner.
@@mrtselfdefense4185 Wow ! You Trained With The Real Boys.. Reason must be a Trip... I lived in Brasil for 6 years.. Say Paolo
So what do we win if we find your jujutsu? Or are we meant to hide our jujutsu from you? And what if someone else has invisible jujutsu? Does that count as hidden? 😜
Why think that the scissor sweep is meant for a striking context? I get Akins' position philosophically, and agree mostly, but it just doesn't follow that every technique in jiu jitsu is meant for a fighting context. I'd imagine Akins would agree that closed guard in a fight would make broken postural control the primary objective anyway, so sweep attempts would be working from that starting point. I'd be shocked if most black belts would even attempt a scissor sweep in a fight.
You have to remember that Henry was tought by Rickson, and that Rickson's generation in general but Rickson himself in particular, was al about jiu jitsu being able to work at least in a two people real fight. And Rickson was the best at analyzing, testing, applying and adjusting lever concepts in an encounter where being punched in the mouth and being bitten was a possibility. Not spending too much time playing guard and advancing to a superior position was the priority if submission opportunity from guard wasn't there. So if it happens that the position ends up being perfect for a scissor sweep, then guess what: you scissor f*cking sweep: black belt, gray belt, transparent belt, short belt, long belt, large belt, tinny belt or no belt.
