Everyone and their mother read this in Bernardo farias voice

[@Danslaughterx]

When the CC says “penis gapes” for “pin escapes” I can’t tell if it’s cousin Craig trolling or if it’s just hearing his accent funny.

[@duraynoodle]

I heard "penis capes" LOL

[@baratoplata7050]

I visited B-team last weekend and after a brutal 1 to 1 session with Craig, I can confirm that he is indeed drilling penis gapes. He's anticiptaing a penis stomping meta to escape leg entanglements, so Craig said he remembers when John told him "Why do we not use 0.5-4% of our body efficiently?". He said he wants to be able to swallow any incoming feet whole, it's a superb piece of tactical play. I was in awe.

[@aririn3]

I totally hear penis gapes.

[@grantlawler4872]

I’m Australian. He clearly said “penis capes”. Small capes for penises.

Never stop this content. It is a great favor to the world!

[@adamabbas1487]

Very interesting to hear Craig's evolution in his philosophy of grappling. I am wondering if he would of come to these same conclusions if he wasn't the grappling coach for people like volk.

[@6ix6ear]

maybe... maybe not, exposure gives new perspectives

[@SaSSaBJJ]

probably not, i think this training camp and craigs mindset after this could change bjj a lot

[@rellha3940]

In jiu jitsu we pin ourselves in guard by keeping two shoulders on the mat. Notice Craig never accepts this, he’s always on his side allowing him to build up and not be pinned

[@georgiosvavliaras1066]

Simply a goldmine from the master down under himself! Tremendous!

[@briancaldwell1504]

Absolutely outstanding as always!

[@benschneider8980]

For as much as Craig is a jokester he truly is a serious and impressive teacher! Thanks for the great lessons!

How do more people not watch these videos? Free gold

[@bryancjacobs]

An interesting question. My guess is you have to know enough to appreciate what you are seeing.

[@NikeTrackField12]

@@bryancjacobs for sure, same thing is when people are booing in an mma fight that is all grappling when I am sitting and analyzing every move. Jiu jitsu is the only art I have done where experience is really the best teacher, because when you see it, if you don't know what you are seeing like you said, its hard to know even where to start.

Muchas gracias, Señor El Segundo!

[@ReconD31MEU]

Oh my, Mr. Craig Jones perfect example to add to your "Do's & Don'ts" video. That is to make sure absolutely no chewing gum on the mats! A couple of times Craig would roll backward, spin, or bridge, and depending on the camera angle (from down UNDA) on those shorts, a humongous Pink bubble from a pack of your finest Aussie big-league chew just blows up at ya!

[@BasedNation]

technique are beautiful

[@chrislamothe3396]

Love the accent on the “peen escapes” at the beginning of the video 😅. I had to rewind twice to make sure you weren’t fudging with us. Awesome video, keep them coming!

[@amazonjiujitsu]

love the idea about defending by making ur adv use his grip hands to defend fall when u stand, and i think is the same idea when you put your back on tatami, you will have hands and legs to fight his hand grips he'll have to lose it.

[@hasansabljakovic8561]

He makes it look so easy. I’m seeing it’s calm. I’ll work on that

[@THEBIGGESTSCUMBAG]

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE TO WATCH

[@GracieGarage]

This is the old basic Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Get up! Its such a fundamental principle. Rickson trains this all of the time. I have seen Ryron develop a whole exercise routine for getting up.

[@TA-hf6si]

Nice shorts x) Love the content you guys have been putting out. As a fresh student of the game (since august) these have been fun and inspirational to watch, and I've learned so much from it. Edit; Regarding the bonus interview. I personally train BJJ to stay fit, it's fun and to be able to defend myself. So I try to work a lot of sweeps from bottom and control on top. In my humle three month experience I can only speak out of ignorance, but submissions seems to land in your lap if you have good control game.

17:02 craig lifts his left leg in the air to prevent his opponent from using it as a post to push off to get his far side hook.

[@Sam-sg5wd]

Craig, could you plz explain why you prefer half guard to side control?

[@MrJossdaboss]

in power rides he talks about how it allows you to control your opponents legs to keep them from being explosive or getting to their feet. This is why you see it more in MMA as a place to attack compared to side control.

[@raisedbobcat8266]

The closed captioning mistaking Craig saying “pin escapes” for “penis gapes” is spot on

I understand the front roll he did at the very beginning. I don't understand how it looks like he just spun on his axis while the rest of the world stood still.

[@MangoBums]

what does he mean, "if the defender is pre-occupied with the ground holding them up, then they cant handfight" around 1:01

[@craigjones8662]

Flatten someone out belly down, they have to use their hands on the ground to build height.

[@MangoBums]

@@craigjones8662 so in this case... the belly down guy is in a bad position because the two hands cannot be used to defend/grip fight?

[@WhtMike2006]

@@MangoBums the belly down guy is in a bad position in several ways. But definitely part of it is they can’t fight your hands and build a base to get up at the same time. They have to choose one or the other. If they hsndfight then they stay pancaked flat, belly down. If they put their hands on the floor to build a base, then their neck is open to choke them.
