  • čas přidán 21. 12. 2020
  • This video Espen Mathiesen overviews one of the most powerful controls in Jiu Jitsu. The X hook is a variation for taking the back from a crab ride. It is often less stressful on the neck and very easy to transition to from the Berimbolo. Tommy Langaker and Espen Mathiesen have been using this technique at the highest levels of black belt competition over the last years with great success.

    I'm watching this hoping he shows certain details a lot of people miss. I've been berimboloed countless times from my Professor Samuel Braga and knowing these details are essential for a clean finish and also to learn how to defend efficiently. Great job, and I'm jealous your in Norway brother🤙

    I know this vid is 2 years old but i had to log in and leave a like and comment. The details in here about the normal bolo, that first 'wedge' position, the awkwardness of the way everyone shows going from the wedge to the twister hook, the grips and that arm detail - and the absolute genius of the x hook. This was so helpful along with your crab ride material, thanks!

    Hey Jon, great video..I been deeo diving into berimbolo...studying different people, styles. You trained with and made some bolo videos with different people, what style bolo do you like...I see Espen never places his non dlr leg across the belly with his shin. Some people keep the non dlr knee outside the hip, some people seem like the are all the way across connected hip to hip....what do you prefer, what makes Espen's bolo unique? Thanks for the content as always !!!!
