This Simple Principle Will INSTANTLY 10x Your Jiu Jitsu

[@rodrigotellom]

This is like the ultimate mythical martial arts ideas. I'm surprised BJJ practitioners tend to forget this. Great review.

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

100 percent you always hear about it when you start but then never really follow up on it.

[@Slamminbassplayer]

Exactly. I’m really happy to have watched this today. Anyone who is frustrated with BJJ for any reason should go back to this concept. Osss!

[@immadfedup]

I think it's something we all do but it becomes a subconscious thing. Then we never think about it. So we don't think to teach it or explain it. It's great when people do talk about these things cause not everyone picks up on them through just rolling.

[@Yaxye.]

Super insightful and very well explained. Thank you very much.

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Thank you so much for the support

[@mikekanecopywriter]

Bro love this - thank you. Please do more smart stuff like this!

[@TheMartialWay]

So basic but so overlooked and brilliant

[@NoLifeKingRL]

Excited to try this next class.

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Hope it helps you!

[@kikzrandrade]

Next “class” for me is sparring (tomorrow). Will try this as much as possible, great video!

[@elib2085]

This is excellent! Can you make a video about this concept when you are standing/passing? Thank you!

[@elliottbrown2259]

People said that shi to me everyday “use their momentum against them” I never understood. Then I went into judo gym , was messing around and ig I found out what they really meant🤣🤣

[@bigro4444]

Kusushi in Judo. The same concept is applied in Newaza.

[@jwdeepsky]

Mmm sushi

[@jonnyk6901]

Yin yang. When you understand balance and energy, bjj gets easier.

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Absolutely

[@Taco-jitsu]

Excellent explanation!

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Thank you so much

[@aprendeanestesia6938]

Amazing video. Thanks so much once again

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

No problem happy to share!

[@frankster-uy2bs]

Very simple principle, but very useful! Will try it tomorrow.

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Hope it helps!

[@carloswalters7426]

Very educated 👌🏻

[@irsh2786]

Great fundamental to remember, thanks Master!

[@cameroncreeper652]

Any chance you could give some examples for top position? Love the video btw

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Yeah I can definitely do that!

[@GynJitsuRonin]

Yes! I'm keeping my eye out!

[@sebastienlundby-thomas7823]

Swapping between knee cuts and leg weave pass would be an example when passing the guard from standing vs a seated opponent. If you just wanted an example

[@secohen73]

Great stuff as always, Jon. Thanks for sharing!

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Thanks so much!

[@valroblin5877]

Amazing explanation! Thank you!

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Glad it was helpful!

[@daveclifford7895]

Another fantastic video thanks 🙏

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Thank you so much!

[@raymundescauriaga8080]

Thanks for this

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

No problem happy to help!

[@markvonelend]

This is an awesome gi. Could you please let me know what brand that is?

[@stenciljunkie]

Vital

[@GynJitsuRonin]

Pretty excited!!

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Hope it works well for you it’s super fun to work with

[@GynJitsuRonin]

@JonThomasBJJPlus I'm pretty sure it will. Sweeps & takedowns have had most of my focus in training lately. I sense your instruction connected & gave me "a feel" & will help hit my timing. Thank you! You're a great coach!

[@tearsxo]

jon looking like a viking

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Haha trying to be more Swedish

[@RobertoBren]

Kuzushi...it's what takes uke's balance and makes throw, sweeps etc. easier. 1st thing you learn after ukemi. 👍🥋

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Yeah it’s such a huge concept I guess I always thought it was just about balance but in this case I feel you can use it for all sorts of subs and transitions on top of off balancing for sweep

[@Ilovejiujitsumorethanyoudo]

Can someone drop a link for that bandana Gi ? i can’t tell what it is.

[@jayfrank2272]

Just watch Pedro Sauer videos. This concept is in every lesson.

[@uzisbaked]

I'm a 2-stripe white belt and i struggle with my sweeps and sometimes getting into set up positions so i tried to bait weight transfers but it wasn't as effective as i thought. but this is going to change the game for me. Thank you.

[@choperevinceneil8304]

Can this principle be used on top ?

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

100 percent I use it literally everywhere

[@UnskilledGrappler]

@@JonThomasBJJPluseven at the grocery store? First, push the cart, then suddenly pull a hamstring! Jokes aside, great stuff as always.

[@jeffdbmb]

this is money 👌

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Thanks buddy!

[@bxnxjmin]

math nerd bringing math into jui jitsu. haha love it

[@ashes4821]

Makes sense to me.

[@TheDentist27]

kazushi

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Yup it’s everything

[@obiwancannabis8408]

Kuzushi, koo zoo sheee.

[@Dejanao]

It makes sense.

[@equiz]

Which gi is this? When are you coming to Copenhagen? Oss

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Vital Kimonos is the brand! Hopefully someone soon. I don’t live far away

[@Chevaposaurus]

I've been doing BJJ for a few weeks now, and without hesitation I had my hands ready for the "clap" after the first instructional, and then I proceeded to clap in time with the instructor... What is wrong with me. 😅 Im in a completely different country btw, first video from this channel I've watched. #cooked

[@natewilliams6657]

Osss

[@donneljones4023]

When they pull u push when they push u pull!! Dnt fight their energy u can learn this in aikido

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Such a broad concept against all arts!

[@seazerespiritu137]

What gi are you wearing ?

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Vital kimonos it’s a Korean brand!

[@seazerespiritu137]

@ thank you, i appreciate it!

[@kayathepiratebaykid]

so in short he said what?

[@irsh2786]

In short he explained a great principle 😁

[@iFlowWithTheGo]

Beautiful, sadly not really conveyed, old concepts. Good to see.

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Yeah some of the old stuff is the best too

[@rturo22]

Think that's akido not judo😀

[@JonThomasBJJPlus]

Yeah I think both judo and aikido do it a lot

[@rturo22]

[@SavageGirl-co18]

Purp not on his toes?!?!?!?!

[@johndoe4073]

Great stuff as always! The Mirroring Principle by Win Deputter on BJJ Globetrotters goes into more detail about this concept. Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4SldI2cfrllZtU

[@excessivepotassium]

Stop saying "makes sense?", you will be a far better instructor without that silly phrase (not hating).

[@marafade13]

Yes please

[@Frazful]

I didn't notice until I read your comment. Focus on the information.

[@munkeerench]

Seems like hating

[@FlacoArtaud]

Its just a call for attention. I just see a calm professor making sure their students are on the same page. Great concept by the way.

[@damirbegic250]

Why you watch these videos, to learn or to hate?
