The Closed Guard Passing Video That Will Keep On Giving

[@swishdiggler]

Being doing Jitz for 20 years. Was unaware of these two micro principals, the shoulder observation is an absolute revelation

[@markdaniels4178]

Bro! There's so much to learn... I practice judo and bjjj and other complement each other .

[@brucemcgraw7014]

Youre not alone........20+ years plus too, its the things that we havent paid attention to

[@Darlansk8]

You’re not alone indeed, the same to me

[@Bosboardsuk]

I’m so glad to read this

[@SingleShotSingleTake]

I am very lucky the brothers is my first BJJ gym!

[@pinoygauta]

"keep shoulders behind the belt" I WISH I KNEW THIS EARLIER THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@RichardDoell]

This is real instructions to be effective in passing the closed guard. I love how he treats the beginning guy at the end and integrates everyone into taking care of him. Respect for this teaching.

[@hackattack0154]

Absolutely, great leadership!

[@Kaecyus]

I'm at a GB and we're the same. Whoever leads the class spends a good minute or so talking about protecting your partners, including telling injuries. Mixed weights, belts, strength etc.

[@Steven-rp8zo]

I love these because professor does not spend an hour lecturing before teaching. Just jump in and show the moves and explain why doing. I find a lot of teachers talk too much, do too little. Great stuff, it's the little details that matter. Oss!

[@Slashoom]

That subtle hip flex is key to keeping posture. As soon as I learned this I noticed it was a lot easier to keep my posture and frustrate the guy on bottom.

[@adamcappello1384]

Thank you Jean Jacques for making these valuable lessons available. It's a testament to your core values.

[@PacificrimAwakening]

Simply impressive. What an absolute master. Wish I had the opportunity to train with him.

[@SimonBriz]

The beauty of these instructionals, It took me 14 years to learn that without anyone showing it to me, and now anyone can learn it for free. Thank Master Jj.

[@rbjj861]

I was fortunate enough to have private classes with his brother Carlos. After watching this it reminds me of it. They are both excellent instructors and technicians.

[@timandmonica]

I can't imagine how much more complete my overall understanding of the POINT of Jiu-Jitsu would have been if I would have trained with him.

[@ronaldmoore6619]

You end the fight anyway possible otherwise it’s just tiddlywinks.

[@knathanstein]

This has opened my eyes. For YEARS I've been struggling when people use their legs to pull me into them while I'm in the closed guard. So thankful for JJM and the videos ya'll post. 🙏🙏

[@The_Brew_Dog]

This video is a gem and Professor Machado is truly legendary. He is such an amazing example of working with what you have and never allowing yourself to have excuses. When I first started watching his videos years ago I had no idea he had a disability and it took me years to find that out. I hyper extended my thumb a year ago and taped my hand like a spatula for a couple months before rolling. When I wanted to complain about it I would think of the professor and be inspired to stop my cry baby mindset and work with what I got.

[@magente8051]

2 concepts I learned early just from his books are combining moves, such that a guard pass leads directly to a submission, and a much more flexible notion of movement on top, lots of reversing and scurrying about..very creative on the subs, like he grabs your arm in mount then falls off you and slaps on a triangle as you rush to the top. Always a treat, helps you think and fight.

[@6nosis]

This is beyond valuable . Especially 4:46

[@phy1mlm]

Missed that first viewing, thanks for the comment.

[@regulardude7961]

100%

[@Alvin-dg9pq]

A very simple and fundamental breakdown of how and why the close guard does or doesn't work. No convolution. Thank you very very much!

[@redpillscholar560]

Mr Machado always teaches me something. His attention to the most minute details is simply amazing. A living treasure. Oss!!!

[@KyleHM09]

These concepts immediately improved my ability to break and pass the guard. Thank you.

[@alexandred3135]

pure gold nugget. easily summarized by a legend of our sport with perfect details. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge .

[@JimLBon]

JJM is one cool dude. Must be incredible to roll with and be instructed by such a talented wealth of Jiu-Jitsu knowledge and experience with a teacher’s heart.

[@jeromestavrosyeo]

So cool the way he closes the lesson. 1,2,3, clap!

[@Heezydoesit167]

The subtleness of the details are astounding.

[@jsieunarine]

Back before I had actually enrolled in bjj class one of the first books I purchased was from him as to date I still consider him my first bjj instructor,am thankful having discovered Master JJM.

[@wiperiser1]

Excellent showcase of how points in martial arts fucks up the whole thing. In reality the guy on bottom is happy the guy on top wont try to kill him and stays upright. But in point system the guy on top is winning because he is in dominant position, so the guy on bottom has to work. up-side-down world.

[@LucaGonzalez-pc7wf]

One of the best videos I’ve seen really just kept giving

[@danielcollins5194]

I took jui jitsu for awhile. Never was I taught something so easy. I used to get submitted from gaurd a lot. This helps. My coach would yell posture up, makes sense now

[@wiperiser1]

Its like when your wife yells stay hard and you can't...

[@danielcollins5194]

@@wiperiser1 I bet a hot college chick could fix that!

[@Trephining]

"Posture up!" Hearing that during a match, unless it's a person who generally knows to do so and how to do so but seems to have underprioritized it at that moment, is almost like opening up a cookbook to a page that just says Beef Wellington at the top. Next page just says Duck L'orange at the top. Next one just says French Onion Soup at the top. Next just says Chicken Marsala at the top. I.e. without the 'how', the 'what' is practically useless.

[@myk2]

Brilliant detail. The smallest change for the greatest improvement.

[@Portodan3482]

Besides being a master in jiujitsu, you are a master at teaching. Those details blow my mind. As I continue my journey in jiujitsu, I re watch these videos and the simplicity of the explanations are amazing and my brain goes AHHHHHHHH, I get it now! Thank you!

[@uplift22]

Imagine that being your everyday coach. I wish!!❤️❤️

[@lorensaunders5772]

Jean Jaques queues and principles are so subtle and fundamental. I have always learned sooo much from his classes. Love seeing Jay there too.

[@pkosh1]

This was great!! Key concepts for someone like me. I’m a white belt it just finished my third class

[@seinundzeiten]

very good teacher- most places do not teach these simple but crucial details

[@koslim]

this man is a blessing to the art

[@TrickyyRicky]

Maaan what a good instructor he is. Glad I discovered this channel

[@getbent5148]

Very cool! I remember learning something like this in judo class. Hands on each side of testicles and lower the hips away from the pelvis toward the feet while leaning away from threats. I was the lucky yellow belt who got the be the example for class and I crossed my feet and tried to keep them that way. It hurt my ankles the rest of the day and I just couldn't keep him in closed guard. Glad the algorithm brought this to me and got a new sub.

[@HerdULiekManwichs]

Judo especially if you lean in, guy can just choke you out with your own Gi. Lol

[@brandontwohawks]

Absolutely spot on and helpful, digestible and excellently presented. Bravo.

[@yasia9188]

Eddie bravo

[@batrocbjj7866]

Wow! Professor Rigan Machado is in the house, real legend

[@PerfectoKiss]

The explanation of the little details is extremely helpful.

[@declanproctor2346]

4th stripe white belt & this was my biggest flaw in my recent comp when reviewing footage.. Looking forward to my next training session to implement these practices! Oss!

[@ysf49ence-erse10]

Thank you for your work. Vous expliquez le jiu-jitsu alors que d'autre personne ne font que nous montrer du jiu-jitsu. Merci

AMAZING - nothing fancy, just effective fundamentals and concepts

[@dougreviewstheuniverse9082]

A class act. This is great insight. These high level guys have so much to give.

[@capodelapaternal6724]

Mestre! Oss! much love! from Marcelo giudici team Argentina!

[@tkdrob1111975]

Great video! The solid fundamentals are often skipped these days for the fancy stuff

[@RingaMinga]

This is partly due to human nature and partly due to gyms pandering to the requests of students for the ultimate ends of turning a profit. It’s up to us as instructors to ensure that the importance of basics are properly understood and engrained into our students and (as we all remains students always) we need to always train the basics regardless of how experienced we may consider ourselves to be.

[@ema3247]

This is beautiful! Thank you Professor!

[@prideneverdies1001]

JJ has all the tricks I love it, main training partner of Rickson back in time

[@Lyte23]

Henry Adkins also has some videos about this. I find it interesting the old school masters keep the feet flat to be able to maintain posture and use the hips, whilst modern bjj say to be on your toes

[@badxradxandy]

Yeah I like being on my toes so I'm going to keep doing that.

[@stevenoverlord]

What an amazing teacher and master of the art

[@MrDane10]

Very well broken down. Great details

[@drjimjam1112]

Man that’s good stuff!! Thank you coach!! Have been getting in trouble leaning my shoulders in for quite some time. Problem solved.

Wish I could learn from this dude!

[@SoldierDrew]

J.J. Machado is the master yoda of jiujitsu.

[@rollinOnCode]

this is good stuff- too bad most schools do not teach this level of details

[@Crownholder]

Maybe its because they don't know them (the Details.)

[@bobby9192]

Look at the belt levels he’s coaching. Casuals get burned out with details at this level. Advanced classes get into details like this

[@rollinOnCode]

@@bobby9192 i am beginnerish... 2 and half year beginner... i love these types of details and concepts

[@bobby9192]

@@rollinOnCode I’m talking about day one people who come in looking to get right into it and a professor is going through the minutia of every possible scenario. Your anecdotal individual situation doesn’t take anything away from my argument, how many people left since you started, take your feeling and yourself out of the situation
