High-Level Guard Passing with Nicky Ryan, Nicky Rod & Ethan Crelinsten

[@KilljoyJiuJitsu]

Love how each Bteam member has their own different style.

[@gmel1084]

How it should be

[@rickystickyicky7587]

Love how your mom has her own different style 🤪

Nicky Ryan is a great teacher. Clear about what common reactions are and how to deal with them.

[@B1bLioPhil3]

100%, I think he will soon become the best coach in the sport.

[@radoslavtodorov6923]

@@B1bLioPhil3 Yeah, as soon as tomorrow

[@devonanderson1832]

I feel like taking a trip to Austin and visiting the B team for a week would be a sick vacation and probably level up my game at least one point.

[@christopher2215]

Go train with them, great group

[@clayton97330]

In another video I think Craig Jones said a day pass is $100 and you have to have blue belt minimum to get in.

[@raphmula]

Exactly what I needed

JUST SO SICK

[@dcDOC19]

All that knowledge and talent under one roof. Must be nice...

[@hungryman5625]

Nicky Ryan's passing style reminds me of that Gordon Ryan guy. The similarity is so uncanny, it's almost like they're related

[@Scottierolls]

Thanks guys!

[@toanta4838]

Thank you guys very much for this content!!!

[@jackallen1967]

I’d love to have a lesson from Nicky Ryan he seems like such a good teacher

[@andrewsullivan1523]

Nicky ryans techniques are great! Ethan that technique is similar to the Rotolo's heel hook technique against mica!

[@RonALampman]

Great stuff! Thank you so much gentlemen!

[@jjrees]

For the Nicky Rod knee cut - does anyone know why you would opt to pass to side control with double unders instead of passing straight to mount?

[@sinay_adcc_rengoku]

Just for point he said but to finish go directly to mount. And because it's easy to go side control to mount

[@Gumbi1012]

Mount is usually better but it's harder to get. Your opponent is not going to give it up so readily - side control you can get more reliably.

[@nooneatall5612]

Passing to side control from double unders is usually preferable over passing to mount because you can always remount after you pass to side control without your opponent being able to do anything about it Edit: I thought you asked how to pass to side control, anyways here is an answer to a question you did not ask. Assuming you are in 3/4 mount with double unders and want to pass to side control you have 2 choices. You can take your knee across from one hip to the other and hit a knee cut, or you can go into a reverse knee cut. Let's say he has your right ankle trap, for a reverse knee cut you will take your left knee across next to your right knee, then you can sheer your legs apart to free your ankle and pass to side control. This was a bit of a rough explanation, hope it helps.

[@BeesAcrossTheRockies]

Another reason potentially why besides the above replies is that some people, in particular really strong wrestlers, actually have an easier time bridging and defending attacks from mount than side control, side control is solid for being able to either acquire mount or immediately start attacking from there with less threat of sweeps if you make sure they can’t take the back

[@jjrees]

Thank you all! It makes a nice change when you ask a question in a KZbin comments section and get legitimately helpful responses instead of getting roasted haha! So I guess the key point in collecting that second under hook for double unders is to give you the freedom of passing to side control on either side (via knee cut or reverse knee cut) or mount?

[@phrikshin1]

This stuff is 🔥🔥🔥

[@RoZaxTheGreat]

i wonder what Helio would think seeing how complex and nuanced BJJ has become lol

[@B1bLioPhil3]

jiu-jitsu* Who calls it BJJ these days? Most of the growth happened in the states.

[@stevensartifacts]

@@B1bLioPhil3 you can add all the techniques you want but the style and ruleset that sets it apart from judo is from Brazil and it’s inseparable from its history. I know it hurts but you’re still practicing Brazilian jiu jitsu 😂

[@B1bLioPhil3]

​@@stevensartifactsdo some more research, bud. The Gracie family has fooled you. Jiu-jitsu was developed in Japan long before it was brought to Brazil. And most of the innovation has occurred in the States.

[@stevensartifacts]

@@B1bLioPhil3 I have done research.. I’m not saying Brazilians literally created jiu jitsu out of nothing- the majority of the moves are from judo (aka Kano jiu jitsu back then), but the ruleset is what distinguished it from judo and began to shape it enough to call it something else entirely while judo took a different direction. That was the Brazilian influence on the art.

sick

[@gcorc]

My friend asked me if jiu jitsu was from Brazil. I told him "No, it's from Mexico"

[@stevensartifacts]

I used all of these today 🔥 🔥 I never thought to body lock from half guard ❤

[@shepsean1]

You seriously used Ethan's passes?

[@stevensartifacts]

@@shepsean1 yes the backtake from HQ? We happened to be doing pass/sweep/submit from de la riva all week so I was able to work that pass and Nicky’s.

[@stevensartifacts]

I’m not seeing a difference between the knee shield positioning in Nicky Rod’s first pass vs second pass, what am I missing? What would make you lock on one side of their body vs the other?

[@ryanthompson3446]

Which style is optimal?

[@onmyterms3677]

For the bolo vs headquarters, aren’t you exposing yourself for the counter bolo?

First to submit someone via tickle gets a cookie

[@garrettsanders4963]

So I practice jiujitsu everyday, and you make this seem so easy but I feel retarded when I try and use these techniques against my coach and it’s frustrating

[@stevensartifacts]

He’s your instructor, can you pass him with any pass? Lol. Try it on white belts until you can hit it and then try it on progressively harder opponents.

[@benphilo4672]

That’s my test for any instructional material, I watch it then try it on my coach, if it doesn’t work it’s garbage 😂😂

[@j-fb4596]

A-Team Jiu-Jitsu for the win, Gordon Ryan taps all these mofos out

[@CoachSeanColeman]

Let me start by saying im a big fan of these guys and this team (and I actively buy their instructionals)….. but this feels like when the top athlete at the gym gets a chance to sub for coach, lol. Too many “steps” and makes it feel like the exact opposite of the same coin as the “we don’t teach moves” ecological guys… again… fan of the crew, jusssst a perspective on the coaching style. No hate 🙏

[@banmadabon]

Ethan trying so bad to be like Nicky Ryan but his moves are not realistic with a real opponent, too many things have to happen just as he wants...

[@B1bLioPhil3]

Yet it's working for Ethan (who is a phenomenal guard passer).
