I am a purple belt (7 years of training), i will definitely recommend this video to every white belt i know... u just showed in 8 minutes things that took me years of drilling and sparring to master, so for the white belts watching, don't put yourself down if this doesn't work immediately, give time, train and train, be happy.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man I really appreciate that 🙏 Glad you like the content 🙂

I totally agree with Pietro.

Okay you guys got it! Will be up before the end of Nov. Hopefully doesn't take me 20 hours to make like this one lol. The rolling commentaries are a lot easier haha

[@mattswanson2302]

I have watched this video at least 5 times in it's entirety. I've paused, backed it up and watched certain sections over and over. This video has helped me so much. Thankyou!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Wow, thanks! I'm really glad you find it so useful! Hope it helps you retain your guard :)

[@mattswanson2302]

@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu Wow, what a difference a couple weeks makes. I had a real tough time with guard retention this week. For what seemed like a long time I was mostly closed guard, locked up tight and my go-to was a flower sweep. I'd switch from different sets of sleeve/knee and hoped to time it. Sometimes I'd do a scissor, sometimes I'd do the one lasso guard sweep I know. But I had been feeling like I was always doing the same thing and wasn't implementing technique I was learning each night. In part, what initially made this this video so helpful were some key take always (like grips) but it also inspired me to try new things - or try the techniques I wasn't as comfortable with. There was some initial success but what it really reinforced is that yep, I'm just not that good at those techniques but also that I'm even worse at recognizing when to do which technique at the right time. I pretty much abandoned the closed guard flower sweep that I've been consistent with for over a year with all kinds of teammates to trying every open guard sweep I've ever seen. I'm a patreon supporter and talked about this in your week 9 or 10 questions. Anyway; excellent video, I keep watching and keep learning and keep trying to improve bit by bit each night I go to class. Thank you!

8:39 mins of gold. by far the best instructionals on youtube. cheers.

I appreciate Dave! Thank you!

[@kylerkyler8839]

I really like the 4 point of contact and starting sitting up in guard to get grips. Thank you!!!

[@jrizzy626]

I’ve taken your “don’t let your opponent get your head” advice seriously and it’s changed my game. That one thing made me a much tougher out and opened up a ton of easier escapes. Thank you!!

3 stripe white belt here. This is GOLDEN info! I’ll be implementing this IMMEDIATELY. Thanks so much!

Just started at Jordan gyms and have been very impressed with his patience, professional demeanour and how he conducts his classes. These vids are fantastic and I will be continuing my journey down the BJJ rabbit hole. Cheers Dave S.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man glad you enjoy the gym 👊

[@jamessanchez6756]

4 month whitebelt here. Have to say you have the best layout for instructional vids. Makes it so much easier to try and utilize in class.

[@This_Justin001]

As a 6 month white belt, I definitely struggle with guard retention. This video made it super simple to illustrate what I'm doing wrong. Thanks so much! Can't wait to practice this at open mat.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Hope you have success with it!

[@PhinexTV]

as another 6 month white belt, going into competition, 4 limbs grips and fighting grips is so annoying but, its a bit easier now. Hide YO PANTS. I also have a lot of difficulty sweeping with sleeve grips. and my god, getting out of a good close guard doing rolling is the devil

[@tiemanschnitzel7940]

Bjj black belt here..... I'd recommend this channel highly because this instructor understands ground grappling

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

I appreciate it man thank you 🙏

[@Kara-m8q3g]

The tips on side control prevention were amazing! I have a really hard time escaping side control and honestly I had no idea that stopping the arm from controlling your head was such a big deal until I watched this video, but now it makes a lot more sense. It was very instructive and I love that he teaches concepts rather than just the individual techniques.

[@merkins87]

As a guy who has been doing jits for 15 years on/off now, there were quite a few solid nuggets of wisdom given away in this video; in fact I've seen people charge a lot more to give away a lot less. A big thank you from me!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks you! Really glad you like the video :)

[@wawawinnie777]

Thank you so much for this video! There are so many instructional vids by awesome bjj artists but what makes your vid different is that you're rolling and commentating at the same time, with awesome content, easy to understand, you point out everything in slow mo that makes it work. And it's free, what a blessing!!

[@cmoore04]

About 4 months of training and I'm going to rewatch this on slow motion and do some mental walk through. I feel this is all very important for a white belt to understand and realize how many of those things I don't currently do! Thanks and subscribed!

[@jimvogel4944]

Really enjoyed the comment about recovery after failed submission attempts. I feel like that would be a great in depth video. Keep going bro. Great stuff 💪

This is probably the single best BJJ I've seen so far on KZbin. I learned so much from the open guard and side control tips - I couldn't believe you also covered turtle! As a white belt I only learned turtle escapes this week, it made so much sense to me when you covered it. Thanks for the video!

So I’ve been training 13 months. Just got my blue belt and at my first advanced class I used the stiff arm set up leaving my right side open and leaning to my left tight baiting the pass. I hit the sweep easily on one of my teammates. Your systems keep giving. Pure gold. Keep the content coming.

[@cowboy_bob7474]

Thank you! As a white belt, this is my personal top priority when it comes to learning and improving. Learning fancy submissions can be fun but it does me no good if I'm constantly getting smashed. Love your commentary btw. So dreamy!

Been ill for a few days so no training. Just found you last night and now binge watching all your content. You really give out great advice for beginners, but also for more experienced players. Sometime you have the information in your head but you aren't always sure of the concept. I find if you articulate what you are trying to do it can really help. You put the concepts into knowledge that sits at the front of the mind. Loving you content Thank you.

[@Jmc401]

I feel like this sounds cheap. But I am always interested in routes to the back. So I especially am drawn to when you turned inward for a back take after she passed your guard

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

I always say "all routes lead to the back" Can definitely take the back from turning inwards or outwards if countered correctly 🙂

[@waaagh3203]

I love your lists. I'm writing the lists down in my reasoning journal, and the name of the video. I can quickly remind myself of the major points and come back later after going to bjj and rewatch.

Anyways, I'm a 2 1/2 year blue belt and the concept of stiff arming the far arm when my legs are passed is something that I've happen to found success in ( whether it be hip escaping out for a reset or getting into a comfortable guard ), and I never knew why or how it happened until watching this.

[@rolotomase1440]

Fist bump, thankyou. I've been a blue belt for 5 months and I generally feel like I know a little bit about a lot of things but there is just so much I don't know. I also find it challenging to retain what I learn and then be able to implement new techniques at the rate that I'm learning them. Just the idea of sitting up, having 4 points of contact fighting grips is very helpful. As well as what do as I'm being passed to mitigate my circumstances or quickly recover guard to start over trying to survive then sweep or submit. My tendencies in guard are to sweep vs. submit. I'm older and inflexible and submissions like arm bars and triangles are difficult for me. Thank you for another great tutorial. I've signed up to be a Patreon supporter because I'm benefiting so much from these videos and I hope it helps to keep you doing them. Thank you.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

I too prefer sweeping over submitting from my back. Less chance of things going wrong and easier on the neck. Although if it's a tournament or hard roll I'll attack submissions off my back. I appreciate the support man! Really means a lot to me. And to hear you find the videos so helpful 🙏
