“We aim to show you how to grapple, not just jiu jitsu techniques.” 💙

[@adampopeens2728]

Great presentation for learning. The voice-over describing the techniques in motion is *such* a superior method to trying to talk through techniques/concepts in piecemeal; and 90% of the time when done that way, the technique never ends up actually being shown as it's meant to be performed in action. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you! I knew I had to innovate if I wanted my channel to go somewhere. I'm glad the format is being so well received. I appreciate the kind words so much. Thank you for watching!

[@lukesnyder4183]

@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu Not only the voiceover work, but seeing full speed movement in slow motion is super important, because you get to see how things work when there is momentum. Just doing movements slowly oftentimes doesn't work very well for demonstration, because momentum is needed to flow through. Great didactic skills on your channel!

[@kylermiles8675]

Wow everything covered in this video alone could easily take even an experienced grappler months to digest. I especially appreciated the last 30 seconds of etiquette, not enough people touch on this. Super glad I stumbled across this channel, keep up the great work!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

This was a very nice comment to wake up to 😊. I really appreciate it man! I've got a lot of great stuff in the works. Thanks for subscribing!

[@Mario-sd4pe]

Yeah seriously. 4th week of doing jiu Jitsu and trying to get my closed guard game on point. This is my 5th time watching this video

[@andrewkim6037]

Really enjoy the format in that it focuses on a specific position (such as closed guard) rather than just a specific technique. And showing both gi and no-gi variations is very helpful too. So glad I found this channel. Thank you Jordan and Nikki!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Glad you found it too. Thank you 🙏 🙂

[@MrGigigigi1984]

Yeah, very useful (I'm a white belt)! A similar one for side control would be awesome: I cannot understand what I do wrong, both when controlling and when escaping :-)

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

@@MrGigigigi1984 I will definitely do one :)

[@MrGigigigi1984]

One more idea for videos (as a white belt): what grips/hooks (and combos) are most important during guard retention and pass, and their counters. Very few videos on the topic, which is probably not very cool but absolutely life or death during sparring, as you've pointed out in several clips 👍

[@berserkr81]

The calm voice & music makes this like a Bob Ross jiu jitsu lesson. Great videos.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! 🙏

[@DirtDoc]

One stripe white belt in Gracie Combatives with military experience in the MAC Program and a former junior college wrestler…I’ve learned more about juijitsu in the past 6 months by watching your videos and attending classes 3x a week, than ever before. Thankful for this awesome channel🦃

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Very happy to hear you find my videos useful 🙏

[@derekhyde7754]

33 year old white belt here. I’ve been training just over a month and I sincerely appreciate you breaking it down Barney style. 🤙🏽 🇺🇸

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

No problem! So many instructor over complicate BJJ unnecessarily!

[@denisl2760]

Me too!

[@davidgregory4889]

The traditional guard (6:48) pass has always been flippin hard for me so stoked when you said the same! The variations you show look far better, thank you!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Happy to help! To this day I still don't think I've ever successfully opened the guard that way haha!

[@badxradxandy]

Thank you for all your hard work putting out these high quality videos.

[@marka.bowman9910]

Three things I’ve learned from your vids that has made a huge difference as a new white belt are hands off the mat, elbows tight and t-Rex arms. Enjoy the channel thx man

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Glad to hear! Thank you!

[@gangov]

thanks for the slow mo's Jordan! Great stuff

[@hugoeriksson3316]

The videoquality and editing on all your videos is amazing and deserves more recognition

[@baceghost]

I really like the way this is presented. Short, effective and to the point. Lots of principles and options covered. Nice work.

[@jeffreymellies3764]

Just started my Jiu Jitsu journey and also just found your channel. Love the easy to understand lessons, along with the step by step videos.

[@agapinloutraki]

Excellent tutorial for someone like myself who is still learning! Thank you!!

Discovered this channel just a few days ago and I think I’ve almost gone thorough all of them! Doesn’t hurt that Nikki is gorgeous too…! Thanks for the content guys!

[@BH-ix7nq]

Still coming back to your older videos and they are still 100% gold. Stands the test of time! 👊

[@jeromecanovas]

This video is gold by it s simplicity, keep them coming!

[@t.s.2006]

What a great feeling to come back to an old video I watched a while back and see how differently is speaks to me since I've learned more JJ. I'm catching so many details I missed or didn't think mattered at the time 🤙

[@christyrobillos7615]

Love the way you go back and forth between gi and nogi! So helpful! Thanks so so much!

[@kingme2115]

Really appreciate these videos and thank you for taking your time to make them. This helps so much as a white belt who’s constantly make the same mistakes. You’re the man!

[@DashCobra]

Fantastic production and a crystal clear depiction of effective techniques. Thank you for taking the time!

[@PictonMA]

Lots of great details here. Everyone needs to watch this.

[@Rotey]

You’ve become my go to online coach. Thanks for all the videos.

[@chriscrew4478]

This is gold for a noob like me.... makes a lot of the options or back up plans much more clear than a single drill and speaking towards the thinking behind it is eye opening

[@barnabykent6698]

This is just the right amount of detail and narrated instruction seems to mirror my actual thought process when live rolling much more than 'breaking it down' with step-by-step instruction. As a white belt a couple of years in, I sometimes get overwhelmed by instructional videos yet really need the instruction. I can't believe this is free. Subscribed!

Thank you Jesse. That was a really nice comment for me to read 🙂 Really makes the stress (at times), and workload worth it.

[@mosiaotunya44]

So great all around. My brain remembered a couple tips from your video mid roll last week. It allowed me to escape a submission once and gain my first submission later on. The explanations and slow mo are super helpful. - new guy white belt, 9 or 10 sessions in.

[@philcarroll5396]

Thanks for your excellent videos Jordan and this one in particular. Really helpful for a white belt like myself. You asked in another vid how did people get started in BJJ. I wish I’d started 20 years ago now but got my kids into MMA 3 years ago post listening to Joe Rogan podcasts on long runs and hearing the benefits for confidence building, discipline etc. The club in Liverpool, UK allows families to train together which makes it very time efficient from a parent perspective as I can train in the same class. Enjoy all of it but really like the grappling more than striking so joined a separate BJJ specific school a few months back when it opened nearby. Really glad I did as although I know some of the basics there are some fundamental gaps too. Your videos are extremely helpful - many thanks! Phil
