We are so damn lucky to live in a time where several of the GREATEST OF ALL TIME sportsmen in BJJ casually upload tutorials on KZbin. Just try to imagine another sport that gifts its participants so generously... Thank you, Bernardo, and all the wonderful guests on your channel.

[@praywithoutceasing4939]

sometimes people just need to know, when to not get so intimate with other people's lives...like with your boss...sometimes you just shouldn't ask such personal questions that don't relate to the task at hand.

[@thedopesickshow]

This is incredible, I’ve specifically been learning body lock from Gordon’s guard passing as well as John’s and can’t get enough of it. Thursday and Sunday I’ve been drilling leg locks and body lock passing specifically so this couldn’t have come at a better time.

[@ninobach7456]

How are you dealing with people framing on your knee? Because that's my daily reality in the gym

[@BreathEmpowerment]

​@@ninobach7456this is one of my common problems with passing in general. It's natural human instinct to want to step over to pass, and consequently for them to frame. I'm sure there's better ways to deal with it than how I do, but with the other two options posed here (shelf or split) I automatically am thinking to work more on these since they're not as common which means they won't be as recognized and practiced in defense. My thoughts anyway. Maybe someone more experienced will chime in as well

Lol. Dont want to be the judge on that one, but I really like that he includes rolling footage, because it's great actually see the move with counters and counter-counters

I can pass with the body lock nearly everytime but run into the issue of clearing the frames when they turn towards my pass side before I can settle into side control. Anyone have this issue ?

[@user-fr8tk3xc4b]

What if you're lying on his underhooked arm? How do you deal with it?

[@ericjones1876]

His techniques are very frustrating to counter. His body lock passing is more dynamic than other instructionals on the topic as well. More of a dilemma creation than a pass. It’s a perfect response to the leg lock game. The big challenge against better people is controlling the inside space well enough to get this depth of penetration and a good lock. But that’s the fight. Lachlan Giles does a good job on this topic as well.

[@JohnSmith-un1zj]

im confused on how you don't get swept from the high tripod body lock, like especially if your opponent is a lot bigger than you can't they just throw you over with their legs?

[@louiemack5121]

In the video he goes over reactions from your opponent. I’m a smaller guy and have a had pretty goodsuccess using the high tripod

[@dilly2000]

What if he puts you in full guard while you are body locking.

[@Larkespur]

Personally I stuff a hook first and they can't get to full guard, but if I have the grip and they do get to something like full guard I just Sao Paolo pass without letting my bodylock go

[@nooneatall5612]

You are suppossed to prevent that. You'll see in the instructional how your knee position will compress your opponents foot to his butt often times making that difficult. If your opponent manages to put you in closed guard that kills your bodylock and you have to let go stand up break the clsoed guard and start all over again.

[@lobsterairsoft499]

I think the idea is that your hip pressure is keeping their butterfly hooks inside until you’re ready to get around them. I can see how it would be a problem tho

[@upgrade1015]

I’m a traditional pressure passer, I use knee wedge and elbow pressure to pop a guard open, AT what POiNt Do I dive for the body lock

[@cake1159]

Well first of all you should just avoid being in closed guard. You can't body lock from closed guard effectively (save a few niche techniques) but you should just avoid closed guard then go for the body lock whenever the opportunity presents itself from open guard. Or stuff their legs and drop into butterfly if you want to force it

Bernardo we need to get Gordon Ryan and Khabib to roll to see what’s better. Sambo or Jiu Jitsu. I think both are phenomenal grapplers but I think Gordon takes the W.

[@Bennettanator]

[@REXAZOR]

@@Bennettanator As if khabib would stand a chance v 77kg guys like Giles/JTtorres or Gary tonon they would make mince meat of his legs lol

@@Bennettanator yes that’s true. But Khabib is looking a little hefty nowadays. Maybe they can do a catch weight bout 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@SirMeliodas598]

@@REXAZOR JT Torres would be a good match up against Khabib. But they’d have to make a rule set against leg locks because that would be no fun if he just gets heel hooked right at the start.

[@KKSuited]

In a submission only grappling match, Gordon can probably tap him. In a points format similar to ADCC, it may be close but Gordon still probably wins. Once you add strikes in, Khabib smeshes him without mercy. Khabib's grappling game is amplified by the threat of smesh. You get stuck between choosing between getting punched in the face or choked out. Choked out is usually the better choice.

[@MrAntinexus]

When I tried this pass with unlocked hands partner got me in triangle. Why?

[@JACKKiXi]

Depends on where you made the mistake and what type of bodylock pass you were going for. Usually when bodylock passing you want to draw them in towards you and connect their heels to their butt as tightly as possible, this elimiates their ability to shoot the triangle. If you base out with your hand or try to stuff a leg with your hand you risk being triangled.

[@MrAntinexus]

@@JACKKiXi it was when I went elbow on thigh like in the video

[@JACKKiXi]

@@MrAntinexus Make sure to not go too deep with the elbow, and when you split the legs it should be impossible to be triangled.

[@kallepikku4991]

Probably because he's not MMA fighter / boxer making tons of money? So he's trying to make a little extra by filming instructionals 🤔 Or because bjj consumers usually tend to be mid- and upper classes who have more disposable income to buy fan products, where in other sports the consumer base is more balanced across the society? 🤔
