Love your channel, won my 2nd IBJJF Worlds last week executing your principles. I recommend you to everyone who will listen, I'm amazed at how many refuse to invest 10-15 minutes a week watching your content and keep letting me wtfpwn them in practice and competitions.👊

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you so much! I wish more people would watch too haha. The views are decent, but more way people could and should benefit from my hard work making these!

[@witchdoc5075]

Rolling front head lock. Absolutely. Slick white belt here, and this three striper loves him some half guard leg attacks. I shut that down every time with the rolling front head lock. So glad i saw that here.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

One of favorites!

[@IDontTalkTrash]

JORDAN YOU ARE THE GOAT TEACHER! I Just started jiu jitsu, about 35 classes under my belt now and initially had trouble understanding the WHY behind techniques. Three days ago, I purchased your BJJ theory course and my ENTIRE GAME has changed DRASTICALLY just in a few days. Im able to sweep and control everyone SO MUCH easier and my higher level partners look at me like I’m a new beast now, it’s crazy. It’s all because of your concept of INSIDE POSITION, which is fuckin Genius. It really helps you understand the WHY of BJJ which makes the game so much easier. by just focusing on that one concept it’s helped me breathe better, relax, dominate and I legit haven’t been submitted since I bought the course! (I know this won’t last though lol) . My confidence is at an all time high thanks to you. I know I still have a LONG way to go but your concept is giving me motivation to train harder now. I can’t stress how that ONE concept applies to literally everything and makes the sport easier. thanks again and if you aren’t downloading Jordan’s BJJ Theory course you’re doing yourself an absolute disservice! I’ll see y’all at the top 🫡

I need to watch and assimilate it a few times more. Last monday I got frustrated against X guard from 3 different colleagues. I had no clue how to fight against it and this video gives me, at least, a good starting point. Thanks Jordan!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! X guard = best guard IMO. Can't let them get under you! If they do, control their feet!

[@alexanderhernandez5141]

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

🙏

[@itsWantedd]

Awesome video, do you have any tips for guard passing on super sweaty mats? we have a smaller room, can get wet fast

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! One thing that helps is working on your grip strength so you can still hold grips even with the sweat. Slowing down the roll using grips and pressure also helps a lot. Basically everything remains the same but you just have to be extra technical and really prioritize control to limit your opponents mobility.

[@jacesaces15]

The running joke in BJJ is "just stand up" and i have been trying to implement it into my game as much as possible. There are more opportunities to stand up when rolling than you might think.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Ya exactly. If they don't have any grips on you, just stand up 🙂

[@ForzaTerra89]

When passing I’ll reach for an underhook sometimes and they’ll go for an armbar. Do you need to be passed the kneesheild to reach for an underhook ?

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Great question! Overall not a great idea. You need to pin your opponent on their back using your underhook. If you take an underhook when your opponent has underhook it'll mean they're on their side and can get offense going. I plan to make a video soon all about underhooks!

[@808frontline]

So right about the “knee on belly” Our school calls it the (Shin ride)

[@Mitchellj96]

1:48 you say minimize as much time on your knees as possible but what if your partner has a really good leg lock game would you recommend passing from the knees or do you think the reward beats the risk when it comes to leg exposure vs a good leg lock player?

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Still you should minimize time spent on your knees. If they can underneath your hips and entangle your legs you're not controlling them well enough. From both on your feet and on your knees this can happen, again if you're not controlling them well enough. Joseph Chen passes very similar to me, using a low posture head quarters. He faces some of the best leg lockers in the world without issue. It all comes down to control. Overall you have more control on feet than your knees because you can drive your weight into your opponent. Which is very useful for control. If you're standing straight up without any control than definitely you'll get leg locked.

[@brentedwards7157]

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! We're getting better and better at the podcast. We just need to be more consistent with filing episodes. Glad you enjoy it!

[@potatoratator2334]

Coach, is it better to shoot a double leg without dropping down your knee? Andrew Wiltse said a penetration shot without knee-drop is ideal; what’s your thought on this?

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Depends how low they are. It's always better not to have to do something if you don't need to do. If they're have a high postured stance then there's no need to drop the knee. If they're low it'll be essential.

[@potatoratator2334]

[@jacob-rc3ji]

Question for anyone - would the leg positioning in the leg lock be considered reaping the knee? I can never understand this concept

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

It's a weirdly nuanced thing but it is reaping if you control that same leg with your arms. It's not reaping if you control the other leg.

[@Rupert.Bingham]

Great video as always! I really appreciate your teaching. One question, if you see this... you say to pass on the feet, makes sense. Lately though I have been following Marcello's advice (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ6VnGCIZ5p1a6M between mins 3 and 4) and it has gotten me quickly into halfguard and avoided a lot of leg stuff. It is apparently only intended to be against a sitting opponent but anyways I was wondering if you always rather pass standing up or have any use for starting from the knees against a seated opponent?
