Defensive BJJ: The Five Position System

[@tmoss1900]

Finally something that makes sense and requires less energy expenditure. It's a simple strategy, I like it. Every school I've been to, survive, escape, submission, but not much rolling strategy, just keep coming through the door you'll get better. Being older this is a very good strategy for energy conservation.

[@ericl.9332]

Entirely agree with you 🙏

[@robertjohansson5814]

DId the system work for you?

[@mtgsalt1151]

Survive - Escape - Control - Submit

[@Kuroyamitv]

I love defensive strategies in martial arts. I’ve been boxing for 3 and a half years and have a solid defensive fighting style. Mostly for endurance due to me being in my 30’s. Getting into BJJ now seeing that even it has a defensive path to take makes me excited! Can’t wait to keep learning it.

[@tmusic591]

Best on point video of Defensive BJJ that I found so far!

[@ag2230]

Great to see main stream bjj adopting the defensive postures.

[@rcaw75]

Fabulous I have found myself naturally finding running man to then rolling into them or going to turtle linking them together with other defensive positions- can’t wait to try x

[@rollinOnCode]

you can also stand up from most of these positions which is a ton of fun too. it screws with the opponent

[@JSMinstantcoaching]

Absolutely :-)

Wooooow Ï love to see that priit work is getting such attention !!!!

[@ameindel]

Big fan of Priit’s work. Nice explanations. Subscribed.

[@JSMinstantcoaching]

Meeeee too, priit makes jiu-jitsu so accessible for newbies and less frustrating for them too.

[@MrSnippety]

This isnt Priit

[@ameindel]

@@MrSnippety Well aware. It’s Priit’s material though.

[@jasonwilliams7344]

Came here to say exactly this. Probably the best explanation of the application of priits system I’ve seen. Subscribed!

[@cregan55]

Agreed.

[@alvarocorral1576]

That was phenomenal Professor. 🙏! At first I though you were the DJ Tony from A&B - the glasses..

[@selfcritical]

Priit shows hawking a bit different from this now

[@kahiauelectus4216]

Great explaination on the defensive system. Subscribed! Please make more videos

[@DECEPTIONINDICATED]

Can you do a video on sweeps from this system and some submissions if you can? Happy Thanksgiving....

[@douglasachaiba7885]

It would have been nice to see you roll and test this against higher belts. ...brown and black.

[@ikrampicaso920]

prof, this is one of the best videos explaining about the 5 positions from priit, thank you so much. Do you think these positions and priit's philosophy works in a MMA setting??

[@jiujitsustudent604]

I can’t see how any of this would work very well when someone is allowed to punch you in the head.

[@Meerkatsuartworks]

Well, these principles are mostly taken from wrestling, which Priit often cites, so if you agree that wrestling is an important part of MMA then in theory some of these moves could be feasible. Priit cites Robbie Lawler and Colby Covington's UFC match where some of these moves were in evidence.

[@peekaboojujitsoo525]

You move. Just like a boxer uses footwork and head movement and not just the arms to defend and/or counter against punches. Keeping your arms in and elbows to your ribs allows you to move and transition more easily.

[@ag2230]

I think for MMA you need to be careful getting comfortable in these positions. They work best for grappling. But if you can create a good scramble from them they can work for MMA.

[@poleag]

What are your thoughts on Running Man 2.0? With the knees pinned together.

[@boufaressaziz4508]

Priit good teacher

[@anthonycardona1121]

Yep, 1st thought punish w cradles. Everything is susceptible to an attack. Counter to every counter to every next counter. But ya my exact thoughts too.

[@harleyslocum917]

Are those, jiujitsu glasses? Like prescription and everything?

[@entergalactic1239]

Thank you Sir

[@alphachess9009]

great video!

[@stayingsaneamidtheinsanity2499]

Thank you

[@vladx3539]

Shouldn't your head be on the ground by hawking?

[@rollinOnCode]

hawking is kinda wrong. it is an inside shoulder escape. you should not be rotating the shoulder - rather you are crunching in one side all the way and you post your head by your right shoulder. the left elbow hangs away symmetrically

[@sutters7251]

And toes should be gripping into the mat. Other than these pointers it’s all good!

[@josephsackett8485]

Running man looks susceptible to cradle

[@Justajiujitsuguy]

Luckily I don’t think there’s many attacks from cradle, just a good control, you can’t strike while holding a cradle, and you have to transition to enter a choke. Hopefully at some point in the time he’s sitting idle with you in a cradle the police or other help will arrive.

[@wafflescripter9051]

@@Justajiujitsuguy they’ll get points and the police can’t help with that
