BJJ Techniques from Henry Akins: Closest living thing to Rickson Gracie Henry Akins. Rickson Gracies third American black belt

A collection of Brazilian jiu-jitsu technique videos by Henry Akins, the third American to receive a BJJ black belt from Rickson Gracie. Jiu-jitsu has a wide appeal because its adaptable to different aptitudes and body types. Early on I was enamoured by Ronaldo Jacare Souza because of his ADCC 2005 performance, but quickly realized that my physical attributes (ie. slowness) werent in line. Ditto for Royler Gracie, Genki Sudo, Carlos Newton, Dave Camarillo, Buchecha, Ryan Hall, the Mendes brothers, etc. Ive ended up with a slower, methodical BJJ game. Its built around judo ashi-waza and top control, or closed and half guard from the bottom, and influenced by watching jiu-jitsu in MMA more often than sport BJJ. Henry Akins is right up my alley.

Preference for finishing in mobile, top positions

Awareness of potential for strikes

Using small movements of large muscle groups

Streamlining techniques by combining steps whenever possible

After the Sandy Hook tragedy, Dynamix Mixed Martial Arts, Paragon Hollywood BJJ, and Scotty Nelson from On The Mat organized a whack of black belts (Eddie Bravo, Felicia Oh, Jeff Glover, Gazzy Parman, Sean Apperson, Steve Cardenas) to hold a by-donation webinar as a benefit for children affected. Henry starts his 30-minute segment by explaining the reasoning behind his basics-oriented Brazilian jiu-jitsu game, then leads through four sections: Basic takedown from the over-under clinch leading to a kneeling armbar submission. There are some subtle details that will help you complete the submission with minimal energy while blocking your partners escape.

Henrys version of that Brazilian jiu-jitsu classic  the armbar (jujigatame) from closed guard. Details include streamlining your entry to the submission and using your legs properly to avoid the stack. The key line: I never want to take what I want. I always want to make him give me what I want.
