Kesa
Solid, straight to the point.
Solid tips
Great tips if you like Kesa
Great short system
Really enjoyed the concise but still detailed videos describing the positions.
Good
Great way to improve your kesa gatame
I already liked and used kesa with moderate success but with some adjustments from Jeremy Brick it definitely took my pressure and positional control to another level. Highly recommend!
Kesa Gatame
Short, clear and concise instructional on a very effective old school pin
Good stuff
Almost all you need to apply kesa gatame. Very good details and some funny follow ups.
Bricks Kesa Gatame
I loved it. I’ve had problems in the past getting rolled from this position. In the first 5 minutes of the video he identified my issues. I can’t wait to drill what I’ve learned on the mats. I really liked how he included competition videos of him executing the techniques he was teaching.
Very good
A short but very good instructional. Some very good details that will improve Your Kesa Gatame
Best kesa I've ever seen
I've been to Bricks seminar and the this instructional covers it perfectly. I know it's probably cliche but the kesa game here is life changing. I've taught this at my gym and a few guys really picked it up. Even as a brown belt, the white belts that have used this on me, have made it brutal getting out. I can't speak highly enough on Jeremy Brick. He's a fantastic coach. Caught me in this when I knew it was coming. His core concepts for this work amazing. I got out of kesa but it took so much energy, I was handing him other subs almost begging for him to break my arm and get off my chest.
Game changer
I got to experience this Kesa first hand and had to unpack it. This is fantastic and crazy effective!
One of the Best Instructionals on Kesa Gatame—Period.
Coach Jeremy Brick’s Kesa Gatame System is hands down one of the most complete, conceptually rich instructionals on scarfhold control I've come across—and I’ve studied Henry Akins, Erik Paulson, and Josh Barnett extensively. What sets Coach Brick apart is his first-principles approach: every technique is built on core biomechanical truths rather than arbitrary steps. The way he explains pressure mechanics, transitions, and submission setups from both top and bottom Kesa is not only detailed, but immediately applicable. He even articulates subtle control concepts that the legends mentioned above demonstrated intuitively but never explicitly verbalized. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned grappler, gi or no-gi, this instructional will elevate your positional awareness, control efficiency, and escape timing. This isn’t just another collection of techniques—it’s a fully integrated system that fills in the gaps even experienced players didn’t realize they had. Highly recommended. Five stars.
SUPER EFF3CTIVE!
Prof. Brick's Kesa Hatame is SUPER EFFECTIVE I was able to apply it during rolls
Brick does a really good job of explaining details of setting up the Kesa. His escape explanations helped show what needs to be done when to get into the proper setup. The submissions were icing on the cake. My coach suggested this video and it was well worth it.
Bricks Kesa Gatame System
Great instructional video!
Took the class last year.
I had no clue what Kesa is until after I went to Jeremy's seminar. Now, I put guys in this and it feels glorious. Excellent instructor.
Excellent
This instructional gives the details needed to dominate from Kesa. I have had good success on the mat finishing with the armlock since learning from Jeremy. Excellent detail. I highly recommend it!
Amazing attention to detail!
Jeremy breaks down every aspect of Kesa in a way that is easy to implement. This is one of my favorite positions and after taking Jeremy's seminar i like it even more. He breaks down the how and the why of every little detail. Highly recommend!
Best kesa I've ever seen
I've learned a lot of kesa but the way Brick breaks it down, the way he teaches, it was a game changer. Little details I've missed or never been shown. I showed my students and several of them really picked it up fast and added it to their go to game. Some days they catch me in it and I almost regret showing them.
Indispensable
Jeremy’s crushing top control was my first experience as a white belt tapping to pressure. His system funnels you into a series of bad to worse positions which he knows intimately. As a result he is an effective teacher and here he has clearly isolated the key points of his game-plan, either to defend the position or implement it yourself.
Excellent Instruction
I intended one of his seminars in Joplin, Missouri. The instruction was awesome. I left feeling. I really had a better understanding of the position also like that he gave you a handout to help you remember
Best Kesa in Jiu Jitsu
Competition tested technique through all the belts, haven’t trained or competed with anyone better in this position than Jeremy. Absolutely world class when it comes to Kesa, if you’re looking to level up your Kesa game it’d be hard to find better material out than this. Highly recommended!
Awesome Kesa!!
Jeremy is a very well rounded practitioner and world class champion. His kesa Gatame is second to none. He’s helped me get a much better understanding of this position indeed. Whether in having to fight my way out of it or applying the position and it’s helped tremendously. Check it out!!
