BJJ Theory Course: courses.jordanteachesjiujitsu.com/courses/jiu-jitsu-theory-course

[@streetsmartswing]

This is the problem that I’ve had studying Jiu Jitsu; the lack of clear and pithy principles useful for every belt level. Thank you for bridging that gap.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

100%. So many people are still stuck on showing the technique of the day. It's the in-between that is the majority of grappling and taught the least.

[@mathieug4399]

This is SO TRUE !

[@poziflip]

I totally agree with this comment. Of course there are important details with every technique but understanding the key principles is so important to how well you can pull it off for real.

[@skmfkr2]

@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu concepts like this helps alot more than learning hundreds of different technique. ive always heard get my elbow to my side, but it makes more sense to say prevent underhooks and keep them out your armpits. ive learned alot from the john danaher videos and gordon ryan like onse talking about controling the inside space. placing frames inside their wedges which is apretty much a joint. hips knees elbows etc

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

@@skmfkr2 That's awesome to hear, James! Yep, principles are super helpful - especially because you can apply them throughout a vast number of different moves. Whereas focusing "just" on techniques will often lead to information overload.

[@torrytucker9766]

A whole seminar in 11 minutes for FREE, you bet I’d buy any instructional you put out 🙌🏼

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

🙏

[@epicjuk9658]

Brilliant video so educational

[@lemonbjj1722]

I hit your fake guard pull to ankle pick in a tournament and got gold!!! Thank you for you amazing content. You have helped me improve my game so much. 🥋👊

[@lofteyyyyyyy3437]

I use that move a little to much

[@danfitzpatrick8517]

“Hell yes brother!” *insert hulk hogan meme here haha

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

@@lofteyyyyyyy3437 haha I use it too much too

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Happy to help! Blows my mind to be helping so many people around the world. I'm so grateful to be able to do this 🙂

[@nsj2kx]

Can I get a link to that move?

[@nadirsakane1039]

This video is amazing. You're the first to explain Bjj theory in this format. So many things make sense now! Thanks for your awesome content, I'm from Montreal :)

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Happy to help! Come train sometime. Only a 4 hour drive 🙂

[@epicjuk9658]

Thank you for the video

[@codishaa]

Seriously!!!

[@GustavoPolska]

This is Literally the BEST bjj theory lesson for lower-mid belts that youtube has ever had, imo. I'm really grateful for you sharing your thoughts and experience with us. As you said on IG, this really is one of your best videos yet, - if not the best. Thanks!

[@nevercine]

Yes, I would ABSOLUTELY pay money for a long form Jiu Jitsu instructional on theory. This is the stuff I come to your channel for. I can find techniques anywhere but concepts and theory are what sets your channel apart. I’m here for it!

[@Rubicanteful]

I still believe this is your greatest video. Changed my game as a white belt and reduced how much I was being submitted. Not allowing myself to get submitted allowed me to perceive the positions I was in and how to escape.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Hey thanks man! I think it's best as well. I'm going to make more just like it very soon :)

[@bartbliek469]

As a beginning whitebelt, watching you prevent and fight out of bad positions is super helpful, and this idea of inside position was probably the biggest thing that was missing in my understanding of the game. I've been watching a lot of instructionals on how to escape x position, but understanding the fundamental concepts is much more useful.

[@BeingMarcKnox]

I find "Concepts and Principals" based training helps me most. Being an older grappler, I found the "Bottom Half Guard" instructional very helpful. You bet I'd buy your theory video. Thank you.

[@Jxrye]

I appreciate the way you explain things that I’ve had to learn through mat time and muscle memory over the years but never had words for. The way you explain concepts is so much clearer than the old adage “Position before submission.” Thanks for your hard work on this. You’re contributing meaningfully to the jiu jitsu community!

[@MNaeem5]

I agree,this is so much more applicable than showing a technique and saying "try it out guys" , Jordan presents a concept then shows many live examples of said concept! Excellent!

[@MisterPeanutButter1]

Ha, love the quick Ricky Bobby sound byte in there (7:54), "I'm not sure what to do with my hands"

[@protectyaneckbjj4076]

Thank you so so much for this! This is exactly what I'm always trying to improve. You are one of the greats sir! You and Brandon Mccaghren are running the game.....

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you very much for the kind words! Let's see what we can do about collaborating with Brandon on a video, too. :)

[@JellyBrainer]

This actually helps understand something so fundemental but yet it seems that no one explains this at all. Definatly something to take in mind. Great work!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you! This is what should be taught in fundamentals classes. Not random techniques imo.

[@jakesacco264]

So often in many things when we’re learning, we are told to do things but not told why. This video really explains why particular frames, t-rex arms and grips are important and I feel this will improve my jiu-jitsu so much

[@codishaa]

Yes!!

[@brianradant2885]

Man, you make the best conceptual content for hobbyists who don’t have the time to study and drill complex systems for many positions. Great quality and presentation too. Appreciate it! Would love to see an “angles beat frames” video in the future.

[@jiujudo1307]

Thanks for posting! Great details!

[@Taco-jitsu]

“Angles beat frames” please! This was very well explained.

[@MrNbkelly]

I LOVE learning theory like this over just straight techniques! It allows us to be more creative when applying the theory and adapting it for our own personal game/style/body type. I think we all somewhat probably understand some of these principles instinctively after rolling, but laying it out in concrete ideas and sections fills so many gaps!

[@AerekSjaarda]

@10:46 "Frames beat inside position, but angles beat frames". This is the kind of stuff I love to know about, can't wait to find out more about that!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Definitely will do that soon

[@IanMcGarry1990]

That was AMAZING Jordan!!🤩🤩 so well put together and put into a very understandable structure!

[@hughmcneil4309]

Great video! I love the way you use basic principles that can be applied over multiple situations.

[@BenEBoy91]

Amazing content! Been following you for awhile and you’re in depth detail is top notch!

[@irwincastro5966]

I’ve noticed you’ve said this before in multiple videos and it’s making the biggest difference! Thank you for tips Jordan! Love the podcast and videos! OSS

[@nicolofurlan2278]

This is probably the most helpful video I've ever seen on KZbin. Thank you coach

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you!

[@bendoesjiujitsu9369]

Great video Jordan as usual! Love your content!

[@jreyes3674]

Solid information!!! Very grateful to be a subscriber and follower

[@zencat13]

would definitely love to see more content like this, we are all taught the moves but clear breakdown of the principles is game changing. Its the difference between repeating a move and understanding it. Thanks for this!

[@25davidhenry]

Your content is incredibly helpful! Thank you!

[@ItsEtoVito]

Thanks for the content Jordan.

[@MP-db9sw]

Thank You! This is an awesome video and Im adding to my playlists for future viewing.

[@oliverparry69420]

I love your fast pace communication style in these videos, it makes it easy to get the point being made fast and easy

[@tylermarr6488]

I just started jiu jitsu and I watched a lot of your videos after my second time training. I went in for my third time and I was able to apply a lot of the principles that you taught. Framing, keeping your elbows in, and getting your feet on your opponent were especially helpful. It was the most fun I’ve had so far, and it was the best I’ve done. I left feeling encouraged that I could get pretty good at this. Thank you for all the time and energy you’re putting into these videos. They definitely help. One thing you do very well is explain the little things that a lot of other coaches overlook as common knowledge. You help explain the basics and why you do those things. I’ll continue watching you videos and I look forward to I’ll the things I’ll learn. Thanks again.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Awesome job, Tyler! Well done, man 🙂 I'm happy that my videos have been of help. But never forget that it's YOU who is training, enjoying it, and overcoming obstacles and becoming better. So congratulate yourself even more so 🙂

[@supermario1982171]

This is brilliant thank you definitely would buy full length video can't wait

[@rauloctaviani4535]

Awesome! Excellent summary. Love jiu jitsu theory.

[@alexkawa]

I really like those videos! Thank you for sharing!

[@GABEJITSU83]

Great stuff! Keep up the good work.

[@DuyNguyen-uz9ti]

Fantastic video and explanation of inside position. We lost our school during the pandemic, so a few of us (4 white and blue belts) got together and continued to “train” as much as possible with sharing videos and concepts. Your channel is high on the list. And we are so close to you that we are planning to come and see your class :)

[@hunterloveland9115]

Great video! Thanks to you and a few other bjj channels I decided to take the leap and sign up to a gym and I’ve been loving it! Just got my first stripe a few weeks ago! Please don’t ever stop making these amazing videos!

[@BH-ix7nq]

This is one of those videos where I will watch continuously and learn something new each time. Thanks Jordan, this is gold👊

[@mabzh9139]

Great video Jordan! Really informative

[@steves6918]

Great video! I'll be watching it on repeat for a while!!

[@timdec5488]

Wow. A lot of info to take in here. Thanks for this. Great information.

[@justin8865]

I've been waiting for this!! Especially since I remember a month ago you talked about making a video about this

[@JuanmaFortes]

Jordan this is probably the most helpful bjj video I have ever seen. Incredible! In 2-3 years of training, I always perceived my lack of a proper knowledge base/fundamentals, as classes always turned out to be 2-4 techniques from whatever position(s) and then rolling. By asking, I could get to know what to do in particular scenarios (you know, the counter to X is Y) but that is so granular it barely has an impact on developing a proper instinct, and merely contributes to what I would consider a real jiujitsu understanding. Without fundamentals, jiujitsu feels like a puzzle with endless pieces, and you are alone trying to figure out how they fit with each other. With this video, I feel like I have finally seen a big portion of the whole picture. I always struggled to know when to do what, and what the goal of it was, and that causes a lot of frustration and the feeling of being lost, getting always stuck in the same positions, etc. Man, I recall practising X guard and several techniques from there for 2 weeks at the nogi class, super intensive, and after that, rolling with someone and having the X guard passed in like 5 seconds. It was demolishing, and the worst part was not being able to figure out why. Or a new guy that came to the gym and d'arced me like 6 times in 4 minutes from positions I thought I was 100% safe 🤷‍♀ Thanks a lot for this amazing content and if you make an instructional with similar content that can be applied from minute 0, I will definitely buy it.

[@curtisjackson5793]

Exactly, I too have classes where we see some movements, then roll. So frustrating because I wanted to practice proper positioning and basic techniques with different levels of resistance, but we go into rolling right away and it's really hard to learn something while trying to survive lol

[@jkool1919]

Beautifully explained!

[@MrRichforlife]

Your videos keep getting better and better. Thank you Jordan. 👊

[@leopoldsamsonite1750]

Great lesson. Thank you

[@christopherirwin934]

Outstanding stuff as usual, thanks for this.

[@puffy63]

Such a valuable video! Your videos are definitely helping me to level up! Thank you 👊🏾

[@BenjaminMoriniereSensei]

Great breakdown and application

[@mwithers13]

This was a very very informative video. I literally was having a conversation about this with one of the black belts in my gym the night before you posted this vid. I hadn’t seen him a month but we rolled and I had brought up the subject of position and control as something I’ve been exploring a lot recently and he literally went into “inside position” but it was mostly about how if you control the opponents head you control their movement. This vid explained in great depth

[@StevenYen]

Been LOVING these theory videos - I've been learning for a month and these are so much better for me to understand why something works instead of just trying to memorize a bunch of escapes

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! Ya, concepts are both fun, easier to remember than remembering a million techniques is, and carry over so well across the field 🙂

[@Chappersptbp]

Awesome video! 👊🏼

[@linadyiacy2176]

Love these conceptual videos!

[@gregmau7557]

Bro amazingly informative vid as always. Thank you!

This is one of your best videos yet. I’ve saved it and shared it with my gym. Thank you 🙏

[@beatbodytraining121]

This is one of your best videos. Thank you. Keep these coming.

[@codishaa]

This has to be the most helpful video I've seen on the WHY of jiu jitsu technique. I'm only on Week 3 of training but have been overwhelmed with all the techniques Ive been taught. But the way you've explained inside position makes so much sense. I am going to practice these moves all next week. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And I would absolutely buy a book on jiu jitsu theory.

[@EvolveNowYoga]

Wow really amazing video! We need more videos with more simple principles like this!

[@demetrioiiicortes9073]

Awesome video as always Jordan!🔥 love the seat belt analogy

[@dannya1316]

Amazing content as always Jordan! I just want to say a big thank you because as a fresh white belt who's only been training a few months, I get very overwhelmed with the amount of BJJ information and techniques there are out there. These types of videos really show me and help me practice fundamentals that will help my BJJ game and show me what kinds of things to focus on as a new player in BJJ for improvement. Thanks so much Jordan, there's a reason why you're definitely one of my favorite BJJ content creators on the platform, and I would definitely look into buying instructionals that you put out. 💯🙏🏼😁

[@mattcole3683]

Very helpful information! Thanks for putting this together.

Jordan is literally producing KZbin content at its finest. Yes, I would buy! BJJ Theory is basically the reason I tune into this channel. I would love to see more.

[@dimitridouchinphd4752]

Love the theoretical aspects and general principles, it helps heaps, thanks!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks Dimitri! I'm happy the principles are of help 🙏

[@frankgarguilo2734]

Might be your best video yet. Love these concepts. Going to try and focus on just not getting submitted the next month. Thanks so much.

[@rns7426]

Wow, that was amazingly in depth and helpful in explaining something that takes years of mat time to learn. 🙏 Hespekt!

[@batdorfvideo]

I had to stop the video to watch the Hello Fresh ad again - you guys are an absolutely beautiful family and it just made me smile like an absolute dork. You are truly wonderful people, and this channel is something I've really been missing in my training - the conceptual underpinnings and the WHY of Jiujitsu. The explanations are great, the production value is amazing. Thank you for everything you are doing! When I get destroyed on the mats, I'm quickly making a habit of coming here for some good improvement advice

[@joshua970101]

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks, Eric! I appreciate it :)

[@anthonygould6017]

[@benabel23]

Great video. I think the idea of teaching through conceptual theory is really powerful, versus having a cache of moves to dip into situation by situation. Love your communication style and would definitely purchase a long form BJJ theory instructional 🙏🤙

[@aleksalazic7962]

Jordan mate I absolutely love these informational videos. Rolls are amazing too (your content is amazing), but more of these kind of videos would be very nice to see, I would definitely watch them. Frames beat inside position, but angles beat frames sounds like a video I would watch at least like 10 times. Looking forward to more content. ✌️

Excellent positions breakdowns. Thank you!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you for the kind words, Oliver! Happy you enjoy it.

[@Orsohobo]

After watching this video, I realized how the lack of solid foundations has impeded my jiu jitsu skills. The classes I’ve taken so far, from several dojos, just focus on teaching techniques without integrating them into broader strategic concepts. As a result, I find myself overwhelmed by options, struggling to master the principles that are crucial for informed decision-making in a fight. Thanks so much for your contents!

[@coachmoss8]

I reallyyyyyy needed this video thanks Jordan

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

You're welcome! 👊

[@letsgobrandoski5848]

great video 👊

[@Inflightmuzik]

Officially my favorite channel for jiujitsu. You teach how I want to learn. And yes, I would buy the theory course. I'm the type of person that needs to know why before I do. It helps being able to apply the theory to multiple concepts/situations after you learn it.

[@lukemjproctor]

I'm fairly new to nogi but watched this video before my session today and saw immediate results - much more experienced guys were unable to submit me where I'd been humbled many many times before and instead of scrambling I just fought for the inside lines only which set up a couple of successful submissions on people more experienced than me whilst remaining very defensive. Top instructional video - particularly for those like me new to BJJ who are still trying to grasp a conceptual understanding of the sport. Cheers!

[@Wh1t3out204]

Another great video 🤘🏻

[@tylerb183]

Jordan… your channel is awesome and your content/instructional guidance is top shelf. Love the work you put in. Please keep it going. It’s left and indelible mark on my training in bjj. Thank you from a fan from Vancouver 🙂

[@user-pj7sq7ce1f]

Thank you so much for the amount of detailed info you've put into this video! I had to rewind so many times to truly understand some aspects but it helps so much!
