    Learned this from Henry many years ago. And this is my secret weapon to pass a good open guard player, I'll just fall into their closed guard and pass on my knees, leaving them no chance to play open guard.

    I can't believe Henry has given that out here. I had to travel to LA, take private lessons, etc. This is gold.

    this hips and spine alignment tips are OP as f***. as a white belt, those hidden details are usually game changers on my rolls.
    and, yes, we Brazilians DO LIKE this "foreign" evolution of the art, and ARE NOT closed in our traditional system, as so many people think
    Thanks, Bernardo for showing this to all of us
    Evolution >>>> pride

    This is a truly invisible Jujitsu. Thank you Professor Henry for sharing your insight on the closed guard. Most jujitsu higher belts tend to view close guard as basic fundamentals. This totally changes my view of the closed guard for this point going forward!

  • @Parlefalk

    i started jiu jitsu a few months ago. When I try to sit back on my feet, it is painful on the top of my toes. Do others have this problem and does it get better over time?

    No disadvantage to not being on the toes in guard?

      Even oposite - you will lose your posture, when you stay on active toes - Henry showed it in another movie.

    How long before other jiujitsu teachers put this on CZcams and pretend they created it?

    • @tonyferraz
      @tonyferraz Před 2 lety +1

      He did the same, Rickson is the creator.

    • @tonyferraz
      @tonyferraz Před 2 lety

      @Keegan Yentsch Do you think that he gives the credits everytime, or he talk with arrogance like was he the creator? The way he talk in BJJfanatics is much more kind than his regular way.

  • @maxbjj
    @maxbjj Před 2 lety +3

    It's all very interesting but why mister Akins doesn't show us if he can open a black belt guard from the knees, instead of saying that the art of opening the guard from the knees got lost? He could try to open the Keenan Cornelius guard. if I'm not mistaken a few years ago Keenan Cornelius argued that it was useless to teach opening the closed guard from the knees.

    • @badxradxandy
      @badxradxandy Před 2 lety

      I've heard from almost everyone that you need to pass on your feet

      I love the keenan open where he presses their gi on the floor and pushes the leff off

    • @hermanmelville3871
      @hermanmelville3871 Před 2 lety +4

      I’ve personally watched Henry open plenty of black belt level guards from his knees. He also advocates for standing. The beautiful part is the posture he explains here can be so difficult to overcome that a lot of people just abandon their closed guard entirely and opt to open up on their own. It also can be “mastered” relatively quickly. I’ve used it for years and have had almost no one save for the highest level competitors be able to break my posture. It’s legit.

    • @jacktaufer1559

    • @Seegie16

      Noy all high level black belts advocate passing standing. Bernardo himself prefers passing on the knees.
