This PIN Completely Changes How You Pass

[@Qvohomie]

The opening the door analogy was so good!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah I make a lot of weird analogies up lol, happy this one landed

[@RedHotBillyPeppers]

Just discovering your channel and content but I really appreciate it. Your articulation and your wording has connected a lot of dots for me with big base principles and application. Thank you so much Professor

[@waal]

Good stuff. In the end montage, I like the way you take the mount via push the far leg away and when they come up with a knee shield you redirect it to take the mount.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks buddy gonna try to keep adding a lot of sparring into the end of the videos just think it’s an easy way to consolidate the ideas

[@TheLeanMachines]

This was a great seminar, thanks for visiting! Looking forward to coming to see you guys in the near future ✈

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Was great to be there hope to see you in Gothenburg soon

[@brettpatrickcote]

Solid. Thanks! And that footage at the end is gold. Double thanks.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Will definitely be doing more of these, technique first then lots of sparring at the end!

[@jeffupson8858]

Hey Jon, how you doing? Could i ask you to record a video about how to maximize pressure when playing the top position? last week i competed, i won my 1st match, but made a lot of mistakes, i didn't figure out how to make the transitions after i passed my opponent's guard without giving him space to recover his guard, i wore myself out trying to pass his guard again and again, in the next match i was too tired to even think and ended up losing. I want to improve, and your videos help a lot! Tks for your work professor! Cheers from Brazil

Hi Jon, please do this. Cheers from Brasil

[@JonThomasBJJ]

For sure! Have you seen my video on pins already? Just for reference on what concepts you have already learned from me

[@JonThomasBJJ]

For sure! Cheers from Sweden

I love using the reverse underhook style because on bottom half i play a decent amount of octopus guard sweeps and back takes so it just feels right to do the same thingbut opposite while on top

[@JonThomasBJJ]

100 percent it’s so powerful on top, feel I can cook that position for so long and get back or mount

[@artnos]

another great video, would you say the dilemma for the bottom guy is, is if they stay flat they get mounted if they turn in they get their back taken. I have gotten the mount plenty of times from reverse side but i have never taken their back i gotta try that.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah for sure and you can just lean on them I just feel how they respond and take my time I almost always get one or the other

[@CTGracie]

My coach been doin this since 90s, which I do it too! I made my small own varient since I'm not skinny like him. Super effective and super embarrassing to get wristlocked in front of all other browns and black belts (I'm black), 'whlp' was what I said when the unseen wristlock came

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah it is a great position to go for wrist locks and kimuras from for sure!
