Do you have a vid like this for No Gi? Love your videos! Thank you

[@MonsterParty1]

This is white belt gold. So great to see start-to-finish game plans tied together neatly like this.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks! I'll probably make more game plans in the future. I've got tonnes of topics for game plans 🙂 For tournaments, rolling styles, body types, age even lol

[@Hangar1318]

Jordan I'm a white belt too. True, this is pure gold. Thanks so much.

[@fartface2248]

Im a blue belt and ive had success with the fake guard pull take down against brown and blackbelts! Hands down my favorite takedown and learned it from your videos!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

That is so awesome! Amazing man. Good work! What a sick name too 😅

[@tjc9799]

It’s a good technique but you’re probably never going to land it on those same people again focus on techniques that work even if they know it’s coming

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

@@tjc9799 I have hit it on the same people multiple times :) If they don't have a grip on your lapel it's very hard to stop and hard differentiate from an actual guard pull.

[@dominique371]

I had my first official fight as a white belt today! I got the takedown, got the mount but finished with the Ezekiel choke. This video still helped me a lot! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@jeremyconner]

I’m 50, a single stripe white belt, and in a month going to compete in my first tournament. I’ve learned all these techniques, but seeing you chain them together like this is such a HUGE HELP!

[@ProdigalSon1973]

Also 50 & white. 1 month in. Debating whether to try a tournament. Love competition 😊

[@jeremyconner2838]

@@ProdigalSon1973 I had a lot of fun, I highly recommend it. I had to fight down a few age brackets though, but it was a smaller tournament. Going to try the IBJJF tournament in Atlanta in Feb. 2024.

[@CoachKevanKillsit]

Fellow white belt. I’m 32 and 6 months into BJJ with my first tournament tomorrow. So far my age bracket has 1 other guy but the next age under us has like 7. Even tho I wrestled at a high level I’m pretty nervous. First tournament in 13 ish years.

@@CoachKevanKillsithow did it go brother?

[@lesterleong960]

0:25 ankle pick -> knee slide -> knee on belly -> mount -> armbar 5:04 pull closed guard -> kimura or hip bump 7:41 pulled into guard -> standup -> knee slide -> knee on belly -> armbar or bow and arrow

[@chickasawmike1319]

You said you want to be my internet Jiu Jitsu coach, thank you! I can not afford classes at the moment. I am a 49 year old white belt and I have had 6 to 8 classes then got injured and now I am doing physical therapy and I am ready to continue my Jiu Jitsu journey. If I had a Smarty2.0 and some mats, I could train a whole lot of this at home. I can not afford those either so I will stretch for now.

[@Reapers-Riot585]

This is perfect. I had a combatives instructor in the army that said the reason your doing something is just as important as what your doing, and he was right. And you follow suit and give a reason behind everything. Very enlightening. Makes me more aware of what I'm doing in a given situation and why I should or should not continue an action. 👊

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! Wise man he is!

[@christopherpakney8542]

This is great instruction not just for tournaments, but a fundamental game plan for learning to roll in context. This is where the internet has value over a class format. So often at schools you drill the "move of the day" or 2 and then go roll live. For beginners the vale of videos like this show you not just moves and combinations of moves, but how you should be organizing your training and focusing on mastering high percentage fundamentals. Thank you for content and excellent instruction. People like you are what make this community amazing.

[@GustavoPolska]

I've dropped on your channel a couple of days ago and i can say a couple of things about it: 1- you're an incredible teacher! 2- your didactic and edits are on a whole another level than most bjj channels i've ever watched here on brazil by far. Thank you for aiding the community! Hope i can be 1/10th of you as an athlete and as a person.

I'm literally getting chills. I'm a white belt and I'm having my (technically) first tournament this weekend. I have the exact same game plan that I just kinda figured out and put together over the past couple of weeks before watching this video (though instead of the arm bar from mount I slide one arm across and grab it from behind their head and take the back) and this video just pops up into my recommended 2 days before my tournament... cool
