Repent and believe in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. We all need Jesus because without the blood that He shed for us there is no atonement for our sins. If you reject Jesus who is the way and the truth and the life and the only way to the Father then you reject the atonement for your sins and you stand condemned. Repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ❤❤❤

It’s crazy to me that your free videos are better than a lot of paid instructionals. Super high quality, man.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man, I'm always happy to help the community 🙏

[@Slamminbassplayer]

A proper Canadian! Osss! Seriously, thank you.

[@spartallica9128]

Totally right! This is the best instructional content on KZbin.

[@PatrickMartinez1]

Agreed. This is very high quality stuff.

[@CHANNEL_HH]

Oss, Canada!

[@DosuKinu]

It's kind of crazy that a lot of coaches don't explain how the pressure of the choke actually works, and why it works, like what part of the neck you need to apply pressure to, with what part of your body, and how. I started watching your videos like a month ago after my first 3 sessions of bjj and i already got my first taps after 5-6 sessions, I learn a lot thanks to you ! You"re the man

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

It blows my mind too. Unfortunately many coaches don't understand it themselves imo.

[@mermeladeK]

This so much. There are black belts and there are black belts. Unfortunately we all have to work with what we get. So really appreciate these videos @@JordanTeachesJiujitsu

🤯 HOW IS THIS AMAZING CONTENT FREE?!?!? Front chokes are my fave, and I've watched Jordan's OG D'Arce vid a million times. This vid expands on that ssooo well. Love the arm-in guilly details (it's my favorite choke), and I love how you explain the entries, as that's the part I struggle with the most during rolls. Thank you for this content, bruh! You makin' me more dangerous 🐍

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Haha thank you!! This video actually started out as me just now wanting to redo that old video quick. Figured it would take only a day or so. Then I figured I might as well make a full front head lock video. Took forever to make but worth it 🙏

[@phoenixamaranth]

I have been training for nearly a decade and you're the first I've seen to cover how to properly ensure a darce choke is tight by pulling the elbow back under the armpit to close off the space and be in correct alignment. Myself and so many I know have struggled wondering why it's so hard to finish a darce. Well, now I know what I've been doing wrong! Thank you for your awesome videos!

[@mariosolorzanojr90280]

There were 511 UFC fights in 2022. 97 ended with a submission. That’s 19%, nearly 1 in 5 fights end in a submission. Of the 97 submissions, over 80 were a choke of some sort, Guillotines, RNC, Arm-Triangles, D’arces, Anacondas, etc…. The choke is king. Thank you!

[@Vinicius-rf6ni]

Surely one of your best videos yet! Great editing and example clips! Thanks Jordan 👊🙏

It seems most Jiu Jitsu content on social media is shortening people's attention span, and subsequently creating an impulse for flashy sequences at the expense of substantive understanding. Thanks for elaborating on this problem mentioned in your most recent Talk-Jitsu podcast with a solution.

The hard part vs soft part of the neck alone has completely changed how I look at these chokes… not like I hadn’t necessarily known the details, but have never had it so clearly pointed out. Thank you

[@rder1119]

Your videos are hands down the best I've found. I don't want to watch anything else. This is gold. Thank you so much for the work you put into these.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

That's amazing man, great work! Happy to see my hard work pays off for you guys 🙂

[@BH-ix7nq]

If your first video on darces and anacondas was gold, this video is PLATINUM. So much detail, so much rewatchability, and so many reasons to share it with my training partners. Absolutely love it. Thank you for the lessons🙏🙏🙏👊

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

It'll make a huge difference! Happy to help 👊

[@Kawabunga900]

Such a good teacher. The scissor analogy has been a game changer to my chokes. The soft part of the neck rather than the hard part of the neck is a lightbulb moment. Keep it up Jordan. Cant believe this is free content

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thanks man! I probably spend more time on one video than most do on a whole instructional tbh. Always happy to give back to the community and make it easier to learn BJJ than it was when I was learning 🙂

Whenever a new Jordan teaches jiu-jitsu video comes up I immediately push the like button, because I know it's going to be awesome!

[@stoneyrollswiththepunches]

this is one of the most clear explanations of the Darce I have ever seen. Great details sir. Thanks

[@ConveyApp]

It’s funny. I’m a relatively new purple belt here. I’m 43, 5’5” at around 165. I recently started teaching and instructing around a yr ago. I had meniscus surgery about 6 weeks ago. So I have been training with a “dead” leg and starting all opponents in top side control. I having been discovering these exact submissions during low leg mobility and switch from a darce, to anaconda. I have also been slipping into the gelatins. It’s the same thing here just from the bottom position. Awesome videos. Thanks.

[@lohascha462]

these details are just gold I will definitely try the arm in gullotine again And maybe that pervian necktie can transit with these three chokes

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Definitely the Peruvian necktie fits in. It's just not my favorite but it's a decent sub 🙂

[@25davidhenry]

Excellent lesson! I like how you grouped all three together and pointed out the differences and similarities. Great details on all of them. Thank you!

[@DANGERCLOSEMMA]

I went from discounting arm triangles to them being my favorite submission, and now the guillotine which I used to almost never use is one of my favorites. All because of your videos! They're the best

[@wm7102]

👊Old guy here. Love the theory course - Outstanding info. Appreciate the quizzes to make sure we get the key points of that section, very cool & effective (had to redo a few!). Definitely want to drill on these chokes for sure. Thanks for all the awesome content. Blessings folks.

[@norcalmack]

I love your videos and the conceptual perspective. One small thing on this one is @4:58 you mistakenly call a 3/4 nelson a 1/4 nelson. Not a big deal and most BJJ guys won't notice.

[@DuyNguyen-uz9ti]

Those were great tips Jordan. I always had difficulty finishing those chokes.

Great video! I personally love the Darce. It's easily one of my favorites to go for. I'm still learning though, and have both been cranked by these and (I'm sorry to admit) done the cranking. I'll definitely be implementing these ideas!

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

I've had to crank more necks than I would have liked to learn how not to. Definitely this will clean up your darce 🙏👊

[@michaelbruce3773]

Excellent explanation. You even see high levels of UFC guys not rolling into the choke, pushing head pressure inward. They're doing more of a neck cranks, trying to pull the head off.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Ya exactly. So much room for improvement

[@scramblebluejay1559]

[@feverandfret]

"The pursuit of perfect technique should always be the goal." Thank you. Never understood why some coaches encourage poor technique during practice for "the tap."

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Many even state that a neck crank is just part of a darce 🤦. Figuring out how to do things better and more efficient is always on my mind when rolling and teaching. Others should adopt the same approach. Perfection is the standard 🙃

With the arm in guillotine do you want to keep elbows tight at the same time pulling up to close up the space or is this counterintuitive.

Nice - can you do one on how to protect your neck if you end up in these situations. We all like to practice applying, but sometime we receive. I get real nervous about serious neck injuries. I'm super new to bjj

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Ya definitely I'll make one on defense soon. But protection itself comes moreso from rolling with safe training partners and rolling safe yourself. That's something that's really important for me to communicate as well but a bit of a different topic 🙂

[@gareth__n]

The guillotine was the 1st choke i actually learnt as a white belt and got a few taps out of it. The second was the D'arce. Tbh, now that i've learnt a lot more submissions, i have never hit a guillotine since 😥

Some great details in the video. The quality is only going up worth your uploads. Thanks

[@ed1726]

I've been taught that the arm in guillotine should target the trachea. I am not saying the instructor was right - but I'd like to know why you prefer the blood choke over the trachea? Obviously I get it from a point of view of safe training rolls, but in addition to that is there a competition reason (or any other reason) to not target the trachea? For example if you can't quite hit the blood choke would you ever go for the trachea? Or would you just move to something else at that point.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

I'd never target the trachea. A blood choke is not just safer but also more effective. If you have proper choking mechanics that is. Sometimes people feel mine and they can't beleive how quickly they start getting put out. They've never felt chokes so tight. I don't say that to brag but rather to highlight how important these mechanics are.

[@ed1726]
