What will You Learn?

What if being pinned no longer felt dangerous—or exhausting?

In Unpinable, legendary instructor Henry Akins, a Rickson Gracie black belt and one of the best-selling coaches on BJJ Fanatics, reveals the hidden mechanics that allow smaller, older, and less athletic grapplers to escape pins with calm, technical efficiency.

This is not about speed.
It’s not about strength.
It’s about invisible Jiu-Jitsu.

Henry shares the same principles passed down directly from Rickson Gracie—details rarely taught in modern academies—that turn crushing top pressure into an opportunity to escape, reset, and dominate the pace of the match.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to neutralize pressure before it settles in

  • The micro-adjustments that create space without explosive movement

  • Why traditional pin escapes fail—and how to fix them

  • How to stay relaxed and breathe under the heaviest top players

  • Subtle weight distribution concepts that make you feel impossible to hold down

These techniques work in gi and no-gi, at every level, and especially against larger, stronger opponents.

Why Unpinable Is Different

Most instructionals teach what to do.
Henry Akins teaches why it works.

His method focuses on:

  • Sensitivity over strength

  • Structure over scrambling

  • Timing over force

This is the same “hidden Jiu-Jitsu” that has made Henry Akins one of the most respected—and most trusted—instructors in the art.

Perfect For

  • Practitioners tired of getting smashed from top position

  • Older grapplers who want longevity on the mats

  • Smaller athletes facing constant size disadvantages

  • Anyone who wants to develop true, pressure-proof Jiu-Jitsu

Become Unpinable

Stop fighting pressure.
Start dissolving it.

If you want a calm, technical escape system rooted in the deepest levels of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Unpinable by Henry Akins will permanently change how you experience bottom position.

Train smarter. Stay relaxed. Become unpinable.
