[@ademredzovic9855]

***** THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ygxdss]

I got into Jiu-jitsu 9 years ago when i was 15. Because of the problems you just solved with this video, i quit 4 times and got back into it 4 times. I trained at five different places and yet no one seemed to have the time to tell a white belt what exactly he was doing wrong with his guard. Coming across this video is the best thing that's happened to me so far in my journey of jiu-jitsu. Thank you so much ! Saying you are an excellent instructor is an understatement.

[@ademredzovic9855]

+ygxdss means allot bro, thanks

[@richoz27]

Agree this video is gold, so glad I found it so early, no one has explained these fundamentals in my class so clearly.

[@ademredzovic9855]

Thanks for all the positive feedback. Make sure to subscribe to the channel, I plan to release more info soon!!

[@PatrickViking]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@sylhetypolasab]

Adem Redzovic really beautiful clip about open guard brother adam.thank u very much for the valuable info.keep them coming.jazakumullah khair.....

[@ademredzovic9855]

sylhetypolasab Thanks bro!

[@ademredzovic9855]

Patrick Viking Thanks!

[@TheByrdHouse]

No Thank you Bro for sharing and taking the time to do such a well done overview. I have watched several times and will continue, waiting to see more.

[@kbh0914]

Charlie From the Plaza sent me here!

[@TheByrdHouse]

Me too

[@ignacioherreraart]

+SpaceCityBeats me too

[@WayneTomsett]

Remarkable. I've just started BJJ (50 hours training, 2.5 months in) and this is one of the very best things I've heard in that time, if not the best. Thanks!

[@love2fight205]

I've been training almost 3 years and as a guard player, I really needed this. Thank you sir!

[@ridamalik8591]

Hey Adem, i've recently started rolling with senior students and i was finding it really difficult to make sense of what was i supposed to do, how to start, how to defend, all the confusing names etc because in class usually a move is demonstrated, we practice it and we roll but your video has very eloquently broken down the principles or 101s, i really appreciate you taking time out to put content like this for beginners like me. All the best. Looking forward to lots more content like this :)

[@DiegoDeSimone]

"Charlie from the Plaza told me to say hello." Same thing here. White belt with 0 ideas on how to avoid having my as handed over to me. Great, great, great video. THX!!!

[@exilednomad1444]

Charlie from the plaza sent me here and I can't believe this is free! Thank you!

[@jesselawnhct]

As a purple belt, I find I have a lot of success against larger opponents with this skill set. I thought this outline/explanation was perfect! The rock climbing analogy for 4 points of contact was so simple, yet so eye opening! Thank you!

[@troyt6864]

I'm a white belt, 38 yrs old, veteran. Berkeley Muay Thai Fitness & BJJ. Enjoyed the video. This MA is the best one I've enjoyed in years. Thank you. I've subscribed.

[@ademredzovic9855]

Thanks, wish you the best on your journey, peace!

[@troyt6864]

Adem Redzovic where is your shcool? Chicago, right?

[@ademredzovic9855]

yes sir, come visit sometime

[@larkhallman]

Charlie from the Plaza brought me here .. I am a white belt and this is the best instruction to study .. excellent teachings ..Thank you ... Subscribed

[@DarthRane113]

This is easily one of the best guard explanations ever I have heard (so far White belt XD) I have a feeling keeping these principles in mind will DRASTICALLY increase my skills.

[@Machete757]

Any update bro?

[@markocvejic8385]

Machete757 I m increased from white to blue because of this sentesens:"dont wait oponnent to open your guard, open it self"

[@jessegin49]

This is by far the best explanation for open guard, thanks for communicating it so clearly.

[@ademredzovic9855]

Thanks Jesse!

[@mabad]

Best video I've seen on the theories of open guard play. Subscribed.

[@ademredzovic9855]

thanks bro

[@grayorganization]

I got injured in class and had to take two weeks off, i came back in last night after watching this video 3-4 times and it was like i was a different person. I had a sense of priority and what was necessary to keep my opponents at bay. This video alone made the difference for me.

[@tookurjaerbs]

I'm here because of Charlie from the Plaza

[@banx757]

Same. This video is a gem.

[@Polentaccio]

This is gold for a non BJJ guy who has basic grappling skills ! (enough to get me to my feet and or finish a poorly trained individual from the top) Principles are the way to go, the rest can fall into place where you see it. Thanks for posting this 6 years ago!

[@mpageflint]

When I first watched this a year ago as a white belt, I'm sorry to say, I zoned out on it. It was a little beyond my understanding at the time; however, a year later, it makes SO much more sense. And as I'm starting to develop my open guard, this video seems now like the gospel. Thanks for putting this together. I'm going to revisit it a few times over the next few months for sure.

[@lt2tanks]

A must watch video right here, thank you, i think i've watched 20 times so far

[@alexdmrgs]

An amazing channel that covers everything you could ever need. Most underrated BJJ channel on KZbin

[@Wedojiujitsu]

Love the four points of contact analogy to climbing a mountain. Valuable stuff, thank you!

[@johnnyb2799]

EXCELLENT MAN!!!!!! I’m a 60 year old white belt and I believe this is going to help me greatly. Thank You!!

[@vizhns]

WOW...THIS is the best video on the guard out there! Thank you for sharing these HUGE gold nuggets with us.

[@Qrunch]

One hundred thumbs up. This video deserves more viewings... it's what everyone needs to hear before they start their journey and it's what everyone needs to be reminded of from time to time during the journey.

[@anthonycruz305]

How can someone actually dislike this video?! This is pure gold especially for a newer practitioner in this art. I heard about this video from Charlie from The Plaza's video who suggested that this was an excellent video on the open guard technique. Thank you for this video Adem. You've got my subscription, my man.

[@ademredzovic9855]

+Anthony Cruz Haters gonna hate right!? hahaha, thanks for the kind words bro, peace!

[@anthonycruz305]

Adem Redzovic Didn't realize I was on this account commenting on this video. You've also responded to my post as Presence of Mind

[@errcoche]

Very nice Adem. Like you say, instructors don't often teach at the level of strategy or tactics and this really helps clarify one's thinking.

[@ademredzovic9855]

+Ed McGuigan Thanks Ed!!

[@TheFighterheart]

this is really high quality content thanks alot applied some principles today and i clearly felt the difference .. ..or shall I say, my rolling partners felt it ? :D You definitely got here a new subscriber

[@dave-oh3549]

I cannot stress how good this video is and how much it as helped me with my guard, from a practical and conceptual stand-point. You hear about all these different variations of open guard eg, De La Riva, tornado, worm guard etc. which gets confusing for the novice grappler like myself. What you've done is gone beyond that and broken things down to their most basic, fundamental components. These principles are as near universal as you can get. You can't advance to higher levels of mathematics if you can't even do basic algebra. Well this is the basic algebra of open guard play you need to understand, laying the foundation for further progression. Most great guard players have an unconscious-kinesthetic awareness of what to do, but are horrible at breaking things down to its fundamental components. Instead of having a massive technique library, I'd like to see a more conceptual approach to jiu jistu, emphasizing the basic principles of what needs to be done in different positions adopted more often, very much like this video. You are obviously an excellent teacher and someone who knows how to break things down into easily understandable chunks. I will be buying your side-control video from Budo Videos. I also hope you decide to capitalize on your teaching skills and monetize it by producing more instructionals.

[@ASTRUBAL1334]

Thanks for sharing not only your knowledge, but also a friendly and kind vibe of a natural born master. =)

[@ademredzovic9855]

Rickson Hari Thanks bro!

[@MrJrhzues]

BROTHER, HERMANO, THIS IS A GEM THANK YOU. THERE JUST ISNT ENOUGH TEACHERS LIKE YOU.

[@dorseygreene7809]

Your instruction is the best I ever had. I have taken self defense all around the World in my Military assignments. So many styles I can't remember their names. I started Jiu Jitsu for the Police Dept. I didn't like it at first but years later I found out how valuable it was. If you had taught me in the beginning I would have started out loving it. Thanks

[@ChristopherOden]

I'm thankful that I've had a few teachers that started me off in BJJ with these 6 principles ( Robin Gieseler ), and I'm excited to hear from a high ranking black belt teacher such as yourself who believes so strongly in them!

[@phillipkerr1993]

This is the best BJJ video I’ve seen. This makes playing open guard much less confusing.

[@deadmonikor]

One of the best (if not THE best) concept/principle video on any bjj topic. This video will be watched over and over for years as my game develops. Thank you Adem for sharing your knowledge.

[@ademredzovic9855]

Thanks! Wish you the best on your journey

[@Realasave]

Adem- what a fantastic way to give us the big-picture without getting bogged down in the confusing details of specific positions or techniques. I'm in my very first week of Jiu Jitsu and have been clueless as to what I should be working on in each position. I feel like the principals you've outlined will give me some general themes to work on in class. Thank you very much!

[@ademredzovic9855]

Thanks Bob, I am glad you like it, peace

[@oysterpopsicles3362]

Excellent theory, concepts and technique. Thank you Adam for stringing together the big picture and not just throwing one technique after another at us. The sum is greater than all of its parts. Great job Adam, keep them coming please. When can we expect more?

[@ademredzovic9855]

Thanks Oyster, il start knocking some more content out, peace!

[@TheHouseOfEstest]

Excellent. I don't play open guard at all but will give it a shot! Thank you.

[@mrmikesims]

Thanks Charlie from the plaza for the recommendation and thank you so much for this video Adem Redzovic. This is the base work that helps everyone. White belts like me especially.

[@Strengtharchive80]

subscribed after 5 minutes. This guy knows what he's talking about.

[@Ogmma94]

Wow! Thank you Coach. I learned a lot, I believe that I'm a guard player or I want to be a guard player and I know this is going to help my game.

[@MrEGonzo]

This is great. I skipped so many classes that this became a BIG hole in my game. Time to start pulling guard more.

[@mantioquia]

Adem, thanks for sharing these principles. I just started and have no clue what I am doing, but my first roll I remembered 4 points of contact and resetting. I managed to keep my partner off me and in guard the entire round. I watch this over and over to drill in these principles which right now are easier to implement than technique.

[@ademredzovic9855]

Michael Antioquia YESS!!!! Wish you the best on your journey, its a tough journey, never quit!

[@jedc269]

Thanks Professor Adem...enjoyed the seminar, now I can review the video over again to remind me of the basics.

[@bobmattel2367]

This video didn’t talk above me or below me! It spoke right to me! Great video! I Subscribed!

[@porq2013]

As a white belt guard player, this was very helpful. Thank you Adem and Charlie from the Plaza.

[@taofirma9421]

Excellent video - EXACTLY what a new white belt needs to hear, I didn't know what I was looking for - but a principle, a concept a Determination and a Definitiveness of Purpose I have taken from this as a foundation to base my JJ training! Subscribed!

[@ademredzovic9855]

Tao Firma Thanks Tao!

[@Vaios1981]

So i tried the simple principle of the 4 points of contact today at training. It did help! Simple yet practical. It actually helped having a little Adem voice in my head while trying spider guard.Great video. Thanks.

[@ademredzovic9855]

:)

[@Pandarus123]

seriously the best video on youtube and it was nice to hear my professor mentioned, Samuel Braga:)

[@kyojitsu1]

Great video. I train Japanese Jiu Jitsu and we don't do that much ground work in our style, so I can find rolling with more experienced people quite demoralising - your teaching style and principles have really helped me. Thank you.

[@JD-nz7iz]

Outstanding layout of concepts for me to work with. It all makes sense now, whereas before I didn't know where to start. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you!

[@Rodrigomoscartv]

I watched 3 times!!! It´s difficult to find in web so very clear principles. Congrats

[@ademredzovic9855]

+Rodrigo Mosca Thanks Rodrigo!

[@perezfigueroajr.4650]

I'm going to really study this! You are the man... thanks for the great video. This is a MUST SHARE!!!

[@jeffreyclark2217]

Great video. As a white belt in a Pedro Sauer gym, it can get very intimidating and frustrating. this translates very well in application. thanks!

[@Seattleskindoc]

This is one of the best videos I've seen on any topic, anywhere. Thank you so much

[@AertPietersz]

Every time I watch this, it just reinforces what a phenomenal resource you've created. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

[@ademredzovic9855]

+AertPietersz Thanks!!!

[@lake_cooper]

AWESOME BREAKDOWN FOR BEGINNERS! I AM DEFINITELY SHARING THIS WITH ALL OF MY GRAPPLING BROTHERS...AND SISTERS :) MAHALO, REDZOVIC!!!

[@ernieromanmedina]

Awesome breakdown on deconstructing the guard... Gave me a comprehensive understanding of why, what, and how. Look forward to more videos. Ernie

[@Your_images]

one of the best videos on KZbin, BJJ related!!👌

[@VernCowles]

I should have known this channel was available! This video was very useful Adem. I'm going to continue to get familiar with the principles taught in it. Thanks.

[@ademredzovic9855]

+Vern Cowles VERN!! Hope to see you soon brother

[@robertadams3539]

Great video Professor Adem,thank you for sharing. This is what I love about your teaching methods, simple and to the point.

[@ademredzovic9855]

Thanks Robert

[@paulvandenboom835]

This video is great. I'm a 2 month white belt, this has really helped me slow things down and gives me breathing room and alittle time to think. I said "alittle" time to think, I still get smashed a lot, but I last "alittle" longer now against the rest of the class. Small victories.

[@lindastewartakalinja813]

Thank you, sir. I have just begun my Jiu Jitsu training and your video will help me start off on the right foot (plus the left, and two hands = four points of contact :) Thanks for breaking it down!

[@ademredzovic9855]

+Linda Stewart Thanks Linda!

[@gregarioushorse]

without a doubt one of the best explanations of open guard. Thanks for this!

[@ademredzovic9855]

+Chance Harris Thanks Chance!

[@checkit1969]

Thank you very much adem, for me a beginner you have just made my life on the mat a lot easier very well explained thank you .

[@thrydwulf]

Thank you very much for making this video. It is very helpful. A very good way of breaking it down and making it feel much less overwhelming for a beginner, such as myself. Really appreciate that you took the time to make this. Thanks again!

[@ademredzovic9855]

Thrydwulf C awesome, thanks!

[@assad2330]

your explanation is the best of the best. God bless you man.

[@billmccafferty443]

great video. i wish most instructors taught like this. understanding basic concepts and overall thematic goals. even Danaher gets too detailed with steps only. thank you

[@JeffMartinez648]

Incredible insight, I am a complete believer in concepts & principles, & this is definitely a set that is forever in the bank. Muchicimas Gracias!

[@ademredzovic9855]

+Jeff Martinez Thanks Jeff!

[@jacquesbouchard8884]

Great advice !!! I'll try to add these principles to my game! As a white belt, I find these principles like gold ! Thank you very much!

[@TurboPersonalTraining]

Such a good teacher, man. very skilled in explaining things. Thank you for putting this video together.

[@AlexRodriguez-ok3cr]

Wow, such a simple concept! I can't wait to use it.

[@poloralphfloweren]

Four points of contact gave my game a whole new perspective. I'm coming back to this video one year later.

[@elmarbagirov2281]

Bravo, Adem! I've been looking for a clear principle-based explanation of the open guard game. This, along with Stephen Kesting's materials is the best I've seen. Thank you for such clear and well-structured explanations!

[@ChrisJones-fz5gt]

Exactly what I needed, got first stripe, did well initially and plateaued after taking a week off and only being able to train once a week. Trying to take it easier when rolling and work on specific few moves to master....thanks for helping conceptualize fundamentals to focus on ....great.

[@Birinder13]

Thanks for the video Adem. Some seriously awesome concepts and principles, super stoked to get on the mats! This was exactly what I needed as a big guy who's spent the last year and a half trying to be a "little guy" and play open guard. OSSS!

[@ademredzovic9855]

thanks brother

[@SacocoR25]

This was an excellent video. I appreciate the simplified perspective. I'm competing in my first competition in 2 months, and I already know how valuable this information is. Cheers, Brother.

[@ademredzovic9855]

SacocoR25 Thanks!!

[@hacksmurf]

Subscribed. Please make more of these!

[@36424567254]

for someone like me who trains a limited amount of time on the ground this is really helpful, in fact much more than a random collection of super complex techniques i'll probably never remember.

[@Durangoking]

Thank you Professor, your brothers to the north in Wi.

[@JasonCLopez]

Wow. Thank you very much. Amazing lesson - thank you for your time in making this. Can't wait to visit next time I'm in Chicago. Peace & Soul - J

[@paolo2841]

4 points of contact ,solved a lot of counter attacks I struggled with.

[@dakpancol]

White belt 42 y/o this video has become my guide to improve my open guard. Thanks a lot!!

[@ademredzovic9855]

+dakpancol Wish you continued success!

[@jennyclearytv]

Professor Adem, THANK YOU!! Love how you simply broke it down to 1st, 2nd and 3rd line of defense. I can't remember all those BJJ crazy...say what moves hehe :) Feet, knees and positioning I can. The overall, 6 principles are beautiful said. With this knowledge, I can better be able to continue with the right mindset. Merci from the bottom of my heart, you're amazing at teaching!! Honored to learn from ya!

[@ademredzovic9855]

+Jenny Cleary Thanks for the kind words my sister, all the best, peace!

[@coryaita3354]

Adem, Your knowledge of thought processes was striking to me. I seriously felt like you were in the gym listening to my thoughts for the last three days while I struggled and was smashed and tapped continuously. Though I only just started my journey in Jiu Jitsu I am glad to have stumbled upon this video for the confidence it has provided me. I hope to use my strength with some direction and not just for flailing and ultimately failing. I'm looking forward to applying these principles and seeing the next video from you. Thanks for the mental boost! - Cory

[@ademredzovic9855]

+Cory Aita Hahahaha, thanks Cory! I am glad it was helpful, all the best on the journey! Peace!

[@Ronin-15]

3rd time I have watched this, came back for a little refresher. These points have help my open guard game a lot. Thankyou.

[@ramikhoury358]

Great points and clear way of saying them! Good Job Osss

[@uhmilli4680]

Fantastic information. Idk if it’s just coincidence or what, but I went to my 5th jiu jitsu practice today after watching this video. While rolling, I kept reminding myself of the points of defense. I understand there’s a little more to learn in the video but I’m starting small. Anyway, for the first practice ever, I wasn’t submitted. I rolled with two blue belts and a 2 strip white belt. I’m sure they were taking it a little easy on me but I usually get submitted almost every single time lol. Anyway, great video, great tools that I’ll keep under my belt for the rest of my jiu jitsu career. Thx 🤙
