Pulling Guard - Most Common Mistakes

[@lmkestep]

Omg I’ve been making this mistake non stop and no one has told me! Seeing this video it makes sense! Thank you Jon

[@-tv6906]

This is really amazing video for newbies. Thanks a lot.

[@TheBobbySpeed]

Thanks Jon, that’s the biggest issue I’ve been having lately...gonna work on drilling this

[@benpurcell591]

Great details. Don't suppose you could do a video on top side control - climbing from when you are close to the hips to getting solid control of the head, and then getting to mount?

[@orangeInc311]

Ben Purcell I'd love this too but just in case you need it soon, Ryan hall has a great DVD on this called passing the guard that's worth checking out just because it's very good. Don't get me wrong though the more videos Jon puts out the better

Pulling guard is a whole mistake.

[@mrrandomlol100]

Had a guy pull guard yesterday but I was quick and jumped straight into mount.

[@MatChronicles]

Hey Jon, are you worried about a rolling toe hold counter when sitting to an open guard? It’s something I’ve encountered unfortunately

[@Ahmad-qx6pg]

The biggest guard pulling mistake is pulling guard

[@jjs3890]

Yeah. How that is not abundantly clear, I don’t know.

[@cristinajudah360]

[@808BJJ_Black_Belt]

From top 1/2 how do you stop or counter deep 1/2 sweeps especially waiter sweeps?

[@benjaminyoung9694]

[@NekoStyleUKnow]

JonThomasBJJ sweet thanks

[@16thChemical]

Volume is too low to watch in the subway. Thank you for the videos you upload anyway.

[@jamesyoo67]

Do you think whitebelts should generally aim to pull to closed guard?

[@JonThomasBJJ]

James Yoo Its certainly easier to play closed guard in the beginning, but I also think that people need to learn to become comfortable outside of closed guard because you can’t always get to it and that’s where recomposing come in. That’s what build real confidence in fighting off your back. But if the white belt really likes closed guard and is good at it, it’s a good goal just depends on the positions they prefer to play.
