Closed Guard Sweeps & Submissions

I taught my first ever BJJ class in the Gi today, I go through some closed guard attacks and sweeps, I hope I didn't get anything wrong. 🤣

James, second channel dedicated to this please! great teaching style.

[@epicjuk9658]

Refreshing style of teacher

[@GreenDistantStar]

James is a great example to anyone of commitment, and the power of intent and gratitude. He discovered Australia, has made the very most of that opportunity. His adopted country is grateful, thanks for casting your lot with us, mate.

[@kirkvoss]

Thanks for posting-would love to see more of this. I started BJJ because of you and Israetel. Thanks, brother.

[@Exidose]

This video is absolutely gold, as a newish white belt, I love watching this stuff to help me try and improve, not the submissions as such but working on the other stuff (foundational stuff)

[@danburrows9635]

Been training BJJ/MMA for about 6 years now at a bunch of gyms. You’re a good teacher, you break things down into a very simple way. Loads of guys overcomplicate things, you method seems natural

[@calebjoash8216]

Loving the BJJ videos! Keep them coming

[@HibbyGaz]

Good to see some BJJ content, I started BJJ a year an a half ago, love it, belated congrats on your brown belt! I’ll need to try that TeePee choke 👌🏻😎

[@user-rr1xc1ug6n]

Thank you so much for sharing insights on closed Gaurd. I have some Great takeaways. Looking forward to upping my game with the inside Gaurd submissions. Can’t wait for class.

[@bishopsriseandroll]

Loved this class, will be trying the teepee choke tomorrow! 🤙🏻 I'm sure others will follow if you set up a Jits only channel 👌🏻

[@parms4707]

Yes. Been waiting for more BJJ content. You have a great teaching style. Keep it up

[@sreenidhisreesha]

Totally enjoyed this video! Need more such videos. This was beautifully explained and super useful for a white belt like me

[@RevitSmart]

A whole heap of great details here - good class. Angles make Strangles!

[@alessandroperaza65]

great video! need more of these!

[@n1x823]

Doing and teaching are two very different skill sets. You definitely are a good teacher :)

[@Gman1805]

Brilliant video, great idea to expand the content and as a recent jiu jitsu starter i learned loads here, thanks

[@Denmosocial]

Just started training BJJ. Perfect timing

[@vaughuav]

Keen to see your instructionals in a couple years ;)

[@seer_yt3313]

James you're an excellent teacher.

[@toma678]

as always, great content thank you

[@itsnotme8093]

I've only ever done Judo, so it's pretty interesting to see how BJJ does its own thing, but the key fundamentals are very similar. Great vid james.

[@SEACRET-WORLD]

Love this as a full guard player. Teepee choke is going to be a great addition!

[@spencerjames5894]

Yes -- love the BJJ content!

[@connorbeales421]

Great class! Nice one James 👍🏻

[@wasabisparten3659]

Hi james more of this please, thank you :)

[@maverickcreations6540]

James, we definitely need more of these bjj videos

[@MikeClerkMusic]

This was proper good btw man. 👏

[@gcyy1]

Great teaching, more BJJ stuff please

[@mehdimosbah7832]

Excellent video, I learned a lot

[@wouterdegier8096]

Love the bjj video’s!!

[@jonnymorpeth6520]

Well done mate. I don’t know bjj but that looked very professional!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@xxxx-zx1gv]

Love your BJJ content

[@jakeoverland5959]

Ohh that’s a sneaky little choke with the lapel ! Definitely gonna try that’s at open mat 😅

[@tidouble1]

Great class. Oh at 11:43 if they use their right arm instead you can grab it pull it across and get an armbar. If they yank the arm out, triangle. Probably one of my most used sequence in closed guard.

[@unknown-gd4pi]

Please keep posting these!

[@fkaspar]

As a Bjj guy I liked this one! Almost feel like a class instead of the tutorial that only show the technique

[@SEMP96RK]

I was talking to a mate about how shit my close guard is yesterday. Cheers James. Love the BJJ content.

[@camallan6954]

More James bjj content🙌

[@iscodisco1]

Bjj content is bliss

[@Redthedwarf]

Please do more of these

[@kevin9887]

More of this please

[@domdadomdom_2733]

[@Terminatortx33]

[@testosteronetips-cf3yq]

[@dalroache]

[@johnmcque6205]

When I started following your videos I didn’t even know you did BJJ, this video was awesome when’s the BJJ fanatics instructional coming out? - sincerely struggling Blue Belt 😂

[@jobvanbeek383]

thanks for this video james, i hope you post more jiu jitsu video's

[@You-Tuber2024]

I didn’t know you did BJJ, you kept that quiet 😁

[@smichael12345]

More BJJ content please!!

[@wrxstock2820]

Nice.

[@ThatJiuJitsuGuy]

When I was a white belt I'd get people in my closed guard and hold on for dear life and think that meant I had a guard that people couldn't pass....

[@27walker27]

Curious as to your reasons for not liking to submit from the bottom?

[@gerhanrooosthuyzen6309]

Please do more Jiu-jitsu tutorials

[@TedSoper88]

White belt here, hips up on the triangle was a missing piece for me.

[@millsstrongfightstrengthco662]

I'm back training BJJ after time off due to having a Preemie baby, covid and injuries. firstly I have zero interest in teaching or setting up a school going forward , also worry about competing due to age and injuries., also not really interested in talking about BJJ 5 times aday like most people, My why I train is more to do with something to commit too or something to learn new. At brown belt do you need to teach ?

[@AlhamdulillahAkhi]

in space, closed guard and mount is the same thing 😂

[@markpitt3300]

What blows my mind when rolling is how many people don’t break a lapel grip when they are in a closed guard…. Everything is set up from it…. More of these please

[@Timjacks01]

It’s very good but you need Andy Binns on 🥋👍🏻

[@mattpownall3097]

You guys do open Mats?

[@slickohhh_]

Keep doing the BJJ content!! So I don’t have to pay for instructionals lol

[@user-sl4sx6dp4c]

more bjj content pls

[@markb.4247]

I get pissed off when I see good instruction online and then have to sit through crap instruction in my own gym. Comparison is the thief of joy, again Thanks James

[@jedsanford7879]

shit you do train gi. nice! congrats on the brown belt.

[@GenuineHouse]

Right, Get on BJJ fanatics and get some full vids out, enjoyable watch

[@markbelgraver8237]

ive done bjj on and off, i did it from ages 9-12 and then for a few weeks when i turned 18. I found it was just too expensive!! I want to know if its just specific to my local spot. what is a reasonable rate for classes? also, how often would you train if cautious about the cost?

[@lehoff]

I pay £80 a month and go about 12-15x a month. It has a gym as well so I can do some weights too.

[@Larz1000000]

@@lehoff 12 to 15 times a week?? Are you unemployed? lol

[@lehoff]

@@Larz1000000 oops. I meant a month! I don't think my body (I'm in my 40s) could cope with that!🤣

[@kenn3250]

@@lehoff I pay £75 for gym and bjj but that's definitely at the cheaper end of things, other gyms in my area are £65 - 90 a month.

[@lehoff]

@@kenn3250 worth every penny IMO especially if you find a good gym with good people.

[@KL4B]

I would have forgotten everything let alone teach someone else lol 😂😂😂

[@Xplicid]

Moar!

[@GunnerKes]

3 years to reach Brown belt from Blue... We got a UK BJ Penn people :o

[@enriqao20]

I think he got his blue belt In 2018 and his purple in 2021… 3 years in between play competing sounds like a decent pace. He’ll sit in brown for a couple more years though

[@ZorgG2]

"To be perfectly honest I don't like submitting from underneath" ... anyway let me show you a triangle from closed guard! 😆

[@jordanmurphy7287]

James is so profound sometimes. "The way I see Gi Jiu-jitsu is it's just No-Gi, but with a Gi on." That's some deep insight. Also... Really enjoy your BJJ vids

[@user-hh1fm3ug4k]

I wasn't sure if it was a funny video 😂😂 or an instructional indeed

[@JUSTTK.]

More jiu jitsuuuu videos

[@Az-um8gr]

James is still a white belt at kick boxing

[@angus_white]

Awww you feeling threatened

[@Az-um8gr]

[@Longarmshortarm]

You thinking holding someone in your closed guard was a sign of being macho says it all really 🌈

[@Madelynvaldez23]

love u👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

[@user-sl4sx6dp4c]

i dont agree with the 'never say no when a higher belt asks for a roll' (it says this on their gym wall). No matter what belt you are, you can always refuse a roll. youre the paying customer, its your basic right to decide if you dont want to roll with someone. this is actually an extremely toxic thing to do.

[@GunnerKes]

You sound like a wet wipe

[@JohnMartin22222]

It’s taken a turn this channel. Bet the views are down on this content

[@tommunoz7095]

This is so helpful 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻
