Bottom

Create Initial Stickyness with opponent Don't let em get past the legs Don't let em control your head Always frame with your hands to create maximum space In North South Position don't let his shoulders be inside your knees If he doesn't control my head and shoulders he can never pass my guard

[@LeelosAdventure]

I did wrestling 13-17 Then didn't do any serious training again until i was 24. 24 started jiu jitsu and fell in love with it right as i was studying to get into grad school. now im in grad school and obssessed with this martial art. jiu jitsu is the coolest thing ever. its making my wrestling better too. teaching me a lot about life. I just turned 26. first jiu jitsu tournament is in a few weeks. I want to compete for at least 20 more years. this stuff is amazing and genuinely makes my life better

[@rykehuss3435]

how did you do in your first tourney?

[@TheCommonS3Nse]

This is pretty damn close to the philosophy which I found really helped my BJJ game. The idea of being sticky in one direction, but slippery in another direction. You stick to people and make it very hard for them to pass your guard, but you give them a certain direction in which they can move. Once they move that direction, you transition to a more offensive position because you are ready for them to pass and you use that to your advantage.

[@peteyoxonmusic]

Love this idea

[@michaelmelton3644]

The way Gordon or Danaher talk about the theory is priceless. Narrowing all the escapes and variations that are possible down to a simple concept that anyone can understand shows a level of excellence beyond great into truly mastering your craft. I'm grateful for getting to watch, and listen to the strategy implemented by the greatest Jiu Jitsu practitioner and coach of this generation. Thank you!

[@therealwhoopigoldberg]

Teaching philosophy is always better than teaching individual combos or moves. As a boxing coach I always taught using that method. Too many coaches get caught up in repetition. I'm not saying it's not important as well. But it is so valuable to teach someone why something works. It will help them in application.

[@garretmarks888]

Agreed!! Personally I can only truly pull off a move if I know what makes it tick

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

Theses aren’t new concepts. Rickson has been teaching this for years. Instead of stickiness he talks about connections, and instead of a move for every scenario and thinking about basic themes, like G. Ryan talked about, Rickson talks about Conceptual Jiu Jitsu. It’s basic connection and concepts. This is why G. Ryan is one of the GOATs

It really is great to learn the concepts of what is needed during a situation. technique is important but like he said there are an infinate amount of grips/variations of techniques one can do. knowing now the goals during advancenents puts jiujitsu in persepctive for someone like me... white belt 1 stripe stay sticky! dont let him pass my hips. if he passes dont let him control the head if he gets passed my body to NS maintain my elbows in knees in and reguard if i can being sticky keeps uke in kuzushi. this was an awesome video. thank you for sharing.
