Everyone in BJJ Should Know This System

This video I overview the Leg Drag control, often people think of the leg drag as just a guard pass, but its actually an extremely powerful control that can branch into so many other positions ( Back Takes, Crab Rides, Passes, Berimbolo ) Once you master this system its so easy to find it from everywhere and makes finishing the match super easy.

Love it. Game has improved tremendously since watching and implementing your collar/sleeve concepts. Can't wait to drill and implement these!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks a lot buddy! The collar sleeve is such a critical foundational guard! Happy it has helped

[@yogsothoth-tz2bu]

I have short and strong legs and this works for me !

[@BrokenFistX]

I'm still shocked that you just give out such amazing material all for free for us. Many thanks for everything you do, Jon!

[@Crownholder]

Why Charge for something that is known for years? Search Isaac doederlein "flying legdrag" the Video alone is 8years old. OSS

[@BrokenFistX]

@@Crownholder Because while the techniques themselves aren't new, Jon's way of explaining and systematizing of things is what's worth the price of admission.

[@Crownholder]

@@BrokenFistX interesting view. I can understand

[@makingsnow9234]

Who hates crazy back take anyway? God, your roll through is so beautiful. 😂 berimbolo forever!

[@ExileLuciola]

Got my first baby bolo from watching your matrix videos and realizing the position I was in could get me there. Thanks again!

[@EddieLovesYou]

4:46 “We’ll do it on the other side” I felt that

[@flynnduncan6345]

I haven't been training for long but your vids have seriously upped my game. I can only hope to one day be able to pull them off as gracefully as you do. Really appreciating these tips so keep em coming 👌🏽

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks a lot buddy be sure to check out my videos on retention they should help a lot too.

[@dereksmithabroad]

This is something I’ve been playing with for the last few months. I’m so glad you’ve done all the refinement for me. Saves me a lot of time trying to figure stuff out on my own. 😂😂😂

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah that’s the real super power to get good is learning to get information and improve when off the mat can save you so much time on the mat.

[@MrGoaliegibson]

this is dark wizardry and I'm here for it.

Soooo many questions but itll be an entire flow chart in this mother so, nice stuff.

excellent travail maitre Thomas

[@Lafamilia12326]

Bro you are so fluid on the ground ! Amazing skills brother!

[@alexandred3135]

Super interesting! I am a white belt 3 stripes so quite new to the sport. Someone at my gym gave me your name and told me to have a look at your videos. Best bjj advice ever!

[@fzebley]

Nice, I already implemented the first pass from watching Keenan years ago. Now I have some other options. A few of the young guys really like the Supine guard but I like smashing through it.

[@jiujitsuconcepts]

fantastic, adding this to my butterfly/saddle attacks. you covered so many details, thank you.

[@humanbn1057]

Dang! That is awesome. And way above my skill level.

[@buddhaluv123]

man jiu jitsu has changed so much since I started! Really cool concept and I can see how implementing elements of this can work well for me! As a bigger guy in jiu jitsu there's not much "new" stuff that we can actually pull off.

[@Paolo1005]

Thanks for the great video Jon! I just started incorporating crab ride in my game and this video is a great addition for that. I especially like how you go from the leg drag to the crab ride without giving your opponent the chance to pull in your leg between theirs and threaten leg locks. Well done as always!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks a ton buddy trying to share my journey as I develop this position as well. Making so many breakthroughs the last month as well!

[@shotguntamPvP]

I feel like you could end every statement with "and then you take the back" 😂😂 awesome content man!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Hahaha thanks man! I have been working my ass off on them for last year

@@JonThomasBJJ your detail is amazing. I feel like I've taken more backs since I've subscribed to your channel. It's much appreciated!

[@leandroviannachagas7282]

I really love that style. Best teacher ever! Thank you!

This video is extremely helpful! Currently exploring the backtake game and this was a sort of missing piece that connects many dots

Awesome I’m gonna do one soon with Sebastian Serpa on the double guard pull!

[@RisingPhoenixMartialArts]

Wo! You would have surprised me! Great stuff!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah it’s hard to see coming for sure!

[@jschapir]

so good! I've been playing around with the ninja roll by Bradley Hill from this position. Works wonders!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah that roll is so powerful. Have been having fun transitioning to crab with it.

[@mikeg7750]

Love your conceptual series. New ppl need that kind of learning

[@christopherkwasny5333]

Always great technique and equally great music

[@gibsonchoi]

[@av_bjj]

This is excellent stuff! Can't wait to try it out even though I'm still playing with the diving back take series you posted.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah this is a great addition with that! Hope it helps!

[@stevencunden7977]

Jon this looks great and I can’t wait to try it! My only feedback is that it would be great if you could narrate these rolls at the end and slow them down. As a beginner it’s hard to watch what you’re doing, while reading the annotations and remembering the concepts you taught in the beginning of the video.

[@darkmatter1129]

beautiful! you use your legs like arms. Well beyond me as a newbie, but great aspiration

[@kr3k30n]

I like the way you flow in jiujitsu and always like to watch at your videos to learn some tricky moves to put on my game

[@patrikoberg2890]

Wow, so cool. You are so amazing, very nice when you also do the stuff in roll. I really going to put this in my game. I order a grappling dummy this week, just to train More on this stuff and, berimbolo, crab ride and with different hooks. Thanx for be a big inspiration 😊 regards Patrik

[@envylures5770]

Love this ! I’m a rookie have no idea what I’m doing but I seem to stack people a lot and side dance with them to get side guard. What I can never get to is the back. Will watch this on repeat prolly to get it but thank you for posting this….. ps I subscribed off this video 👊

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Hope it helps buddy! Happy to hear it be sure to check out some of my videos on guard retention as a new person it will help a ton!

Jon, I think I'm a similar build to you and these techniques would work well for me. I'm about to close in on 5 years of training, this looks like a good style and movement for myself. Maybe I'll be good enough to implement these after another year or so.

[@CaleCoast]

Your channel is awesome. Cheers

Starting from the standing leg drag position I'm having trouble weaving my bottom leg around their far long. I'm sure my positioning is off.

[@kamilgufar]

A lot of bjj guys do

[@thos1618]

How realistic are these types of back-takes without the Gi grips? Even the Miyao brothers Bolo into Leg-Drag and Body-Lock passes in Nogi, because connecting to the back is much less reliable, correct?

[@TheGrapplingNinja]

What about people that grab the leg drag leg and tried to pull into 50/50

[@charles_gnarwin]

Can you show how to prevent the darce when your opponent is passing into side control?

[@philipisaacs6508]

Can you cover foot locks?

[@fighter2621]

How do you avoid the calf slicer from this position? I tried this and had success, but against a more experienced partner it was calf slicer city

Really cool. Do these work with no gi? I was trying to think of modifications but wasn’t sure

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Actually a lot of aspects do, but also you can use the leg drag to set up the 411 position as well if you know that. I should have mentioned that as well. When they defend leg drag pushing you can throw your leg over to a cross ashi position.
