The First Open Guard You Should Learn

The Double Sleeve Control is my favorite open guard to teach to beginners. The basic leg past body position I show in this video is relatively simple to control, difficult to get out of, and is great for learning to transition to any other open guard. Strong Open guard basics is what leads to good opening for advance techniques like Berimbolo, Matrix, Back Takes, and more modern guards. This video I focus on the basics of control and my next video will go more in depth on attacks.

I am a simple man : I see Jon Thomas video, I press like

[@AGuerrin78]

This is literally the exact game I've been working the last six months. The detail on the sleeve grip was something I didn't have.

[@knbd]

Thank you for sharing, it’s nice to see fundamentals broken down and easy to understand.

i've noticed that you often keep the non-DLR/Lasso leg outside the hip vs posting on the hip. can you explain the comparative advantages / disadvantages?

[@Nerales_]

posting on the hip necessitates turning your leg outwards, which makes it easier to push to the floor

the hell is that sound at 3:36

[@samhangster]

someone clearing their throat lmao

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Mike D ahahaha I think the camera guy coughed

[@mikeydamonster]

@@JonThomasBJJ Hahaha, get that man some water. Great video, as always btw!

[@LearnJiujitsu]

@@JonThomasBJJ are you sure he's human? hahahaha

[@bradbettis9210]

Its a must for great online BJJ instructors to have a camera guy that makes repulsive and distracting noises. For Bernardo and Danaher it's Michael Zenga's heavy breathing. Jon has this guy. It's just the way it is and you have to accept it

[@chipclip5019]

I feel like the opponent wouldn’t be leaning over so much
