How To Apply The MOST Uncomfortable Scarf Hold In BJJ

Struggling to hold side control? Dan Hart (a Henry Akins black belt) teaches "The Misery Machine," a high pressure Scarf Hold (Kesa Gatame) system that paralyzes your opponent and opens up easy submissions.

Most people avoid the Scarf Hold because they are scared of giving up their back or losing the position to younger, more explosive grapplers. Dan shows the hidden adjustments that fix this. By isolating the hip and using his leg mechanics, you generate crushing weight that makes opponents miserable. Once the position is locked in, he runs through a full sequence of submissions: wristlocks, americanas, arm triangles, and chokes.
