• The Scarf Hold the Soul Stealer

  Great instructional. It focuses on all aspects of this pin/submission. Getting into the pin, holding the pin against reversals and escapes, and moving into submissions. Has definitely improved my ability to hold and finish people in this position.

• Favorite Move

  By far my favorite move. I’ve hit more subs from this position than anything else. The amount of “ahas” from this instructional is incredible. So many helpful details with such an incredible position.

• The best instructional on scarf hold

  Henry Akins is one of the greatest BJJ instructors out there and imo Soul Stealer is his best instructional. Henry has a straightforward strategy in what to do in scarf hold and his attention to detail is what makes him special. I've been demolishing higher belts with pressure easily on scarf after seeing this, even tapped out a brown belt with just pressure, thanks Henry!

• One of my favorites

  Kesa gatame is a position used in other grappling arts like judo, sambo, and wrestling but it's not very popular with bjj. Henry's system with its set up and submissions is very high level. The instructional also includes behind the scene takes of the instructional with the ukes asking questions and going over details. This is by far one of my favorite purchases.

• Destroys your opponent with pressure and suffering

  Henry takes what is already a great position and launches it in the stratosphere in terms of effectiveness. His chest crushing techniques employ suffering on a level which my partners can barely comprehend. I've been using his soul stealing techniques since I was a no stripe white belt. My training partners avoid the position like the plague. His instructional keeps on giving as I rediscover new nuances that enhance its sternum cracking, pain inducing torture.

• the Kesa gatame Bible

  I love Henry Akins' tutorial for the technics, the concepts and also that taste of taichi invisible details. Being an older jijiteiro with a little bit of sambo background, using the kesa gatame give me a chance to hold and submit bigger guys

• Great for wrestlers

  As a former wrestler I often find myself in the scarf hold position. This is a great overview of how to take it from a wrestling domination position to a finishing position in BJJ.
