There's no safe word with this guy. Bernardo earned his money today
huge honour for me to have my neck broken by josh barnett
Josh Barnett and wrestling shoes go together like John Danaher and a rash guard.
Adidas only!
*Parents walk in* “what are you watching?” 5:03
Josh is my all-time fave mma heavyweight to watch. Great striking and great grappling. Way ahead of his time.
Bro, Barnett was trash. What are you talking about?
i dont know about his striking but his grappling was always amazing
@@TheeFitnessEnthusiast …he was the youngest ever UFC Heavyweight champion of the world
Very effective technique. I remember seeing this technique for the first time from Bas Rutten's Big DVD of Combat. Thanks for posting Bernardo.
Joshuuuu Barnettooooo as they said in Pride. Best ever.
Awesome details! Thanks alot Josh and Bernardo!
Thank you, Bernardo & Josh!
Vicious. Move like these remind me if the full range of moves at our disposal. Good stuff.
Thanks guys
Amazing how some people don’t pay attention to the way a can opener like this can work because of the “short arms” approach that Josh explained. The tripod stack makes this possible. After sitting back lots of options present themselves because of the very difficult position and pain that this kind of neck crank gives to the guard player which the guy on top can take advantage of.
Bringing some nasty to the “gentle” art is ultra effective.
Josh B is the man!
There's a reason why there's so few people doing catch wrestling. No one can deny it's effective but good luck finding people to train with you. Sigh... it's such a dilemma.
Catch wrestling is a bit of a lost forgotten art...there have been very few legit people the past 100 years....
Every high level no gi guy is more catch than bjj now days.
@@tonytooreal2433 is there a "guard" in catch wrestling? Fighting off your back? Catch wrestling, in the Frank Gotch/Farmer Burns tradition, was pins and submission, so if one of the objects of the sport was to pin an opponent I doubt there was too much guard play.....
@@pulsarlights2825 go watch the absolute no gi adcc Nobody is pulling guard anymore , it’s all attacks and heel hooks( catch) Even Gordon Ryan agrees. It’s more catch than bjj in bjj now.
@@tonytooreal2433 Heel hooks from the bottom are catch? Heel hooks have always been more sambo than BJJ, Brazilians have always hated leg attacks
Legends
Im gonna remember this no doubt
Bathory - Hammerheart T-shirt🤩
As an old guy that plays closed guard, I’m gonna go to open as soon as the guy comes forward to stand. Real fast.
Bernardo is brave for this.
Instantly regrets inviting him
Awesome it works every time but now everyone hates me 🤣
No pain no gain!!!
War Master
Nice! Gonna practice on white belts tomorrow 🤠
Josh shows amazing techniques every time
gtfo here ukronazi
Josh is a huuuuuuuge human being 😳
That's that Catch Wrestling.
2:31 that "Oh my god" sounded scary😂
he got me as soon as I saw the Bathory shirt.
As thought that too, this is the Bathory T-Shirt, as Josh often wears Metal band T- shirts. But in fact it's Barnett Warmaster T-shirt! 😀
Ideally you'll never let anyone get control of your head. However, it can happen. When/if it does, an illegal move can be countered with another illegal move. If ever someone tries this on you, you would need to quickly find a finger to twist back (finger lock). Works well in a jam.
an illegal move counters another illegal move in an art made of illegal moves lol
Then the good ole Dick twist with the free hand😂
you know there are simple counters to this. if you weren't so conditioned to be afraid of them and actually learnt them it would become apparent why they aren't used in major tournaments where all the best ones allow them.
Save this for an MMA fight
is it allow to use it in bjj match?
Rules varies depending on who is organising the tournament but usually is not allowed
Thats old school.... I remember the first move i learned to open a guard was a can opener 🤣
Can opener was used in the early days of adcc, i vaguely remember a picture of Mark Kerr using it in someone, cant remember who it was...
@@reggiegunn8934 Are we allowed to do the Can opener in live Rolls? I mean should we ask are roll partner 1st or just try it?
@@Damster587 defenetly ask before
Professor Faria should have yelled 'pineapple'
Is this a neck crank?
Been training bjj about a year would one be considered a dick to do this in say open matt. I don't want to hurt my training partners. Seems like it would come on fast.
Yes. Ask the black belts at your dojo what they think of you using this before you just go for it, and definitely do not do this to white belts/much smaller coloured belts. But if you are rolling with a high level guy your size or above, and they consent to neck cranks, then by all means. Just asl yourself whether you really have the sensitivity to know how far/hard you can bend your partner's neck. I would feel fucking awful if I gave someone a permanent spinal injury trying to pass their guard on a thursday night open mat.
Yeah, don’t do that in a BJJ academy unless you’re planning to quit. This move is illegal in most rulesets and could really injure your training partner.
Never do this to anyone
ask someone if you can practice it with them and apply it slowly, id only use this on someone that i felt was trying to hurt me or in a real fight, this move can easily damage a persons neck if their neck is not strong or lacks flexibility, i know a competitor who is very slender and actually had vertebrae in his neck broken by this technique when he first started bjj
you must always do this on your friends.
Oss
I'm only a white belt, but it seems like a dick move to do in rolls.
Because you’re softer than light jazz.
Nah, it's like heels hooks - just don't crank it on.
It's illegal in ibjjf rules, but it's OK to do carefully.
It is
it is kind a a dick move. I don't use it in training anymore.
Not for nothing… But I have a feeling Josh could break the jaws of a grizzly bear off his leg. 😂
Bernardo: Why o why did i give Placido a day off....
seems to be dangerous for neck, vertebrae and discs
Poor Bernardo!!!!
Gonna start being Nasty towards my opponents now, sick of letting them control me
My problem is im too Nice
did you have you revenge?
Illegal in most competitions for a good reason you really shouldn’t do this to a training partner either that is supposed to trust you with not getting hurt cheap way to open the guard
Do it in tournaments, most EBI tournaments allow it
Most? only illegal in IBBJF tournments and small events. All the best tournaments where the best grapplers compete allow them. IBBJF is still in the dark ages because its very traditional brazillian and most of the old gyms don't train them or other legitimate subs. I mean, how long did it take them to allow heelhooks?
Wrestling is great. But I wish BJJ, catch wrestling, and Judo were also offered at high schools. These ball-throwing, get-to-the-other-side sports are just lame.

Is this tournament legal?
The standard can opener I believe is NOT legal however this technique/variation I am uncertain of. It's certainly frowned upon in a friendly roll lol.
fuck no
Nop
Ring-Pull Can Opener! Terrible that 15 year old who got his neck snapped in BJJ recently, his is pants pulled over, because he kept the flip low! I think kids should not compete with adults in BJJ!
Think that's an 8 year video, the kid was stacked. Which literally no one should do..I've been stacked twice and I felt a sharp burn in my neck, never again..
Theirishcannoli what do you mean by ‚stacked‘? The beginning part of the move where he begins to move the upper body forward to put pressure on the person‘s neck?
I need a technique that's legal in BJJ competitions. This can opener technique is illegal.
This seems like a dirty move in BJJ. Any black belts wanna give their thoughts on it?
You’re just a new age softy. Moves older than dirt.
It seems fine to me. Black belts can do anything IMO, you have to know/be prepared for everything. If you dont know it, you're gonna get caught in it
There are plenty of subs that are disastrous if you throw them on fast, the key is to apply them with control to give your partner every chance to tap and you still might let it go of it even if they don't because if you break all of your toys you won't have anyone to play with. I'm just a purple belt but I've had my shoulder jacked, elbow broken, ACL torn. Training partners should look out for each other.
@@SethKBaldwin Yea that make sense, applying a sub with control is the key. Thanks for the response.
@@redearthpaul178 I agree, preparation is key.
this is very strength based. beating this move is as simple as pressing your fist into their neck and extending as soon as they make that grip
What's your weight class
@@Carnemexada 200 pounds
@@brianbarton4619 damg. So you walk around at 200 or fight at 200? I have personally felt Josh's pressure and I have my doubts as to the effectiveness of your proposed counter.
@@Carnemexada walk around at 200, but try it out. nobody can add muscle to the trachea
@@brianbarton4619 I just don't think it would be possible to have any leverage from that position, plus what would stop tori from pinning your shoulders with the elbows/forearms? By the time you free yourself from it, the hold is already sunk and transitioning.
Why's Josh Barnett make Bernardo Faria look like Marcelo Garcia, Bernardo is a heavyweight 😅😅
To Josh Barnett we're all Musumecis, terrifying 😂
i mean this is a nice variation but not gym friendly lol
Yeah, I wouldn’t do this if you want anybody to train with you
Is this illegal ?
Do not do this lol
Don't LET anyone do this to you
Why not? looks like it works to split the legs at least
This is the definition of a neck crank and an illegal move in competition. No one does this
I could not see more than half of this video I have such a bad neck this made me cringe
Josh Barnett, body by Budweiser....
Why not gouge their eyes
why not check their oil?
This is a good move if you're bigger than your opponent. It's not really jujitsu per se
ahhh, good to know, I will make sure Andre and all the other roiders at ATOS are made aware
Not sure why this is being promoted. It attacks the back of the neck with plain old brute force. Hence questionable legality. No subtlety, skill or art either. I’ve been injured a couple of times despite being a competent bjj practitioner and ready and willing to tap quickly.
These catch wrestling techniques are so outdated. Everyone has seen these on VHS in 90's. You dont even need to go class for these just watch some streetfights/school yard brawls.
Doesn't work on anyone who knows actual jiu-jitsu.
Was it really necessary to crunch Bernardo up like that? He was clearly uncomfortable, he even brought his elbows in the second time. F josh for doing that. He’s a big guy. Using it to be a bully. F that guy. Bernardo too nice to say anything
This is a neck crank... Maybe not do it to your training partner....
Horrible…. Instructional on the can opener… please BJJ Fanatics don’t promote this one very much.
If you go to an MMA school you should be ready for someone to do this to you. I roll with a guy in the UFC who does this a lot (albeit softly to be nice). Forces me to both be aware of his arms touching my head but also my body positioning, cause he will do it when he gets you against the wall.
Why is it horrible?
