always remember this "slogan" when rolling !!

[@mattsuran1270]

Concepts are what stay with you long after you forgot the sequence of movements.

[@CleverWheels]

Brilliant

[@andyc1019]

General ideas go along way.

[@KerryFairbanks]

I just got out of class completing week 4. Reflecting on my main issue, I realize when I get put in side control, I "frame" my elbows up and essentially just bench press my opponent for no reason. I lose so much energy. He covers it perfect, I put my hips on the floor and just try to hold my opponent off me because I'm calmly panicking. I'm not doing BJJ when I do that. What makes it worse is I weigh only 155lbs so every guy in class weighs more than me basically. I'm spending so much time on the mat holding big guys up with my elbows... My next goal is just to keep my hips up and not to bench press everyone. Stop wasting energy and get comfortable on the bottom of side control and use BJJ.

Interesting

[@joeoleary9010]

You guys doing bjj now have it so great. I began in 1996 before there were any books, very few videos (if you wanted a video you had to buy it through the mail). Rash guards didn't exist. No belt stripes. All classes were for all belts, and the only "higher" belts in those days were the blue belts. No matter how good you were at grappling or judo before you started bjj, you were a white belt for at least a full year until you made blue belt. The warm-ups were brutal, then we'd do guard passing drills, then we'd be taught a technique, and then we rolled for the rest of the class. Sometimes we'd have relay races. The other team was the blue belts and I wondered why they were working so hard (and cheating) to win. Then the teacher told us because we lost we each had to do 300 pushups. I was pretty brand new then and was like "you're kidding, right?" But he meant it and somehow I did those 300 pushups. Anyway I think things are way better now because the student has so many resources to learn technique.

the good old days...

[@captaincrunch1062]

“Back in the day….” That’s what I say to my teenagers about me being a teenager in the 80’s

[@GlueFactoryBJJ]

I wish they had shown the far side of these techniques as well because there seems to be some details there we can't see...

[@GlueFactoryBJJ]

I keep watching this video over and over and I'm STILL missing the details that make the sweep work. I've tried it at school with no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

[@kojo68]

[@jnwoodard8764]

I like how he just shrugged him off with ZERO effort

[@davedave8608]

Oss

[@Andrew-cs1td]

At 4:16 if you keep your head off the mat and roll into the person in side mount you will get d’arced. Am I missing something?

[@jiujitsustudent604]

Jean Jacques is missing something. Most of a hand.

[@carlomagno913]

Not if you can keep a solid underhook to knock them off balance

[@bottomdollargarage644]

I move to an over hook on the high side at this point. It gives me the option to A.omaplata B. Triangle if they drive in C. Continue moving the hips through and the foot slips to the inside position giving me the elevator sweep opportunity as well.
