At 2:00,, when showing how to free the hand, he said, "There's a term that we use, fill the..." I couldn't quite catch it.

This is an ignorant question as I don't train BJJ, but in the knee on belly it seems like a lot of your weight is forward. Couldn't the bottom buy pitch you over?

Thanks very much. Great reminder about the importance of kuzushi in every technique.

NIce, than you. You don't often see standing chokes  though I've seen MMA fighters doing them against the wall of the cage.

This one was an eye opener for me. It starts almost exactly as if you're going to do kote gaeshi. I've noticed that so many techniques start with the same hand position, which is brilliant. Reminds me of how GSP used to start off every combo with a jab and a duck, so his opponents never knew what was coming next.

I'm excited to see this seriers. I know a few basic gun disarms but I look forward to learning from someone who has worked in this field.

Michael Seamark Thank you Hanshi for that explanation.

Hanshi, can you explain what fujiru is, and how it relatest to this waza? Arigato!

I've been doing this lock for 25 years, but the little step out that you take once the lock is secure, which hangs the person's weight on the lock, was an eye-opener and makes a huge difference in the technique's effectiveness. Thank you for your attention to detail and always striving for excellence.

Thank you Hanshi. Chris and I were watching this and had a question. We noticed that you bring the hand down to off-balance the tori, then when you circle the hand around you give them their space back, letting them stand back up.  Can you explain the reason for that? Thank you!
