The Strongest Defense To Toreando Pass

[@patrickbrennen1423]

Very insightful detail on specific things to do. Many people train hard and get "Tough" without completely understanding how they are surviving or defending all the various positions. Your video's demonstrate clear "Specific Concepts" with exact technique . Not just a plethora of attacks with no path. Really impressed with your stuff!!!!

[@layn8out]

Love how conceptual and practical all of your videos are. SO helpful!

[@2000jjcjfl26]

Thank you. I always do the second move u shown (grabbing sleeve then shrimping out) but, this is a good move to do before I need to resort to that move.

[@jewa796]

what is that move called?

[@ShowtheART]

Awesome technique. Def working that tonight! Thanks Jon

[@mephistosteiner8064]

Very interesting! Please make more of these bjj concepts. Like Position attacks or fefences and all the dfiferent options ones has, step by step!

[@Runninlejit]

Huge fan of you Jon. Keep it up mate. from Australia ;)

[@hajikelist]

nice details, elbow and hip position advice should help me a lot. thanks brotha!

[@rz0svp]

Great instructionals Jon! Can you cover how to defend the over/under pass like Bernardo Faria uses and Murilo Santana?

Great 👍 video

[@bradford5681]

Hello. I'm wondering if there's any risk of breaking the wrist if someone heavy comes down hard on your hand when you frame with one arm? Thanks.

[@Coffenstein]

What do you do if they pin one leg down to the mat and keep a strong grip on the other leg preventing your leg from pummelling in? Or is it pretty much just over at that point?

[@robertpieszczyk7203]

Question: I got always the problem, that after when my opponent do the leonardo lo pass he imeterly smash himself into the side position, so i don't have time to bring my leg back and my block hand can't hold is smash... Any idea what could I do?

[@johannesrichter233]

great content!

[@Dave-mv1yk]

toreando was the first pass I learned, Then I stopped using it because it drains too much energy and everytime I try it I get put in spider guard. Or so I thought, until a brown belt toreando'd his way through my spider guard

[@jaredh713]

Can you show some no gi pass defense? I'll be playing butterfly guard, and the passer will get ahold of my ankles, stretch my legs and drop his weight down driving with his shoulder. I'll frame with both hands, but usually end up in a twister side control situation, or half guard with him facing my feet.

[@orangeInc311]

Jared H from the sounds of it your opening your knee elbow connection

[@ChadGPT_5]

What do you think about the funk roll as a counter to this combined with half guard / lockdown?

[@EvanMcLaren]

I've started to look at this, too.

[@Gunslinger088]

Thank you.

[@kmdlopper]

Awesome! :)

[@shtanna]

Amazing. Where are you located?

Shyam Tanna Gothenburg Sweden! Valhalla Jiu Jitsu

[@shtanna]

JonThomasBJJ Ok great! I’ll check out the website! I live in Toronto and Sweden would be a good excuse to take a trip!! My buddy Dan Hale speaks highly of you !

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Shyam Tanna Really what gym do you train at? I’m coming in town to do some seminars in late June.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Shyam Tanna sorry just now read you are at Dan Hales gym. Hope to see you in Toronto.

[@Taco-jitsu]

Gold.

[@BeeSharp]

Does anyone know the name of the video Jon refers to when countering the sit up guard retention technique.

[@TonyRotella]

Leandro Lo is the one person who disliked the video.

[@Sevisija]

Nice!

[@smitywerbenmanjensen5265]

Thank you

[@azamalonaizy1094]

Thanks for the tips! Kindly give some advice on how to prevent getting kimura'd when I am passing the leg weave. My coach keeps finding the smallest gaps even when I keep my elbows tight!!

[@Protoculturebjj]

Azam Alonaizy someone is catching you in a kimura when you are passing??

[@ineslaouar4245]

What happens if the guy continues circling all the way to north south?

[@Shinigone]

he will get North south :) or inverted guard

[@rolandmalone5431]

He/she will either keep the grips and you can still maintain the regaining of guard or when the grips are released recover guard, the key is to keep doing the foundations of the recovery and drill, drill, drill...

[@МаксатНурайсанов]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@jameswhelan1066]

What if my BJJ pantaloons are IBJJF regulation length and the guy grabs on by the ankles?

[@EvanMcLaren]

I do this, and it's successful, even two or three times, but good players simply stay close to me, continue to move side to side and work their passes, and eventually get by. I'm beginning to study solutions, like developing spider and lasso games that will help me make quicker, more effective responses to their pant grips. But, if you have any guidance regarding how to play or approach that moment when you're beginning to recompose off of this defense but your opponent still has grips and some passing energy, I would welcome it. Obnoxious a la carte request, I realize. Thanks for your patience.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Evan McLaren great question. Watch my video why you’re always defending from guard. I talk a lot about this, but basically when you are defending the pass you need to be looking to establish your initial entanglement grip while defending. Often initial entanglement grips are lasso sleeve control or an ankle grip for dlr

[@EvanMcLaren]

Great, @@JonThomasBJJ--thanks for the help!

[@johndrew2509]

Can you link the video to counter the straight arm defence to the toreando please? You mentioned it here
