@@discontentAK I have a coach I'm affiliated with for belts but in terms of a day to day coach I haven't had one since late blue belt. Opened my gym at blue belt and have basically been my own instructor ever since 🙂
@meowmix_tube thank you! It's something I really like to stress in the podcast as well. A lot of people are suffering from mental health issues and there's no need to ever hide or be embarrassed by it 🙂
I'm one of the bigger guys in my gym at 230lb. My favorite guy to learn from is a dude who's literally 1/2 my size at 115lb. I don't drop my weight on him, but I ask to put him in positions the biggest guys get me in and ask him to show me how he'd get out. This little dude is a MF ninja and is always at a size disadvantage. I take what he teaches me into the matches with the Ultras. This dude is my master Yoda.
hahaha it reminds me a lot of my friend who is a purple belt 4 stripes who is like 60kg (around 130lb) and im around 94kg ( around 210lb) and im a sambo guy and 3 stripe white belt and i pretty much never use strengt i only use technique and he helps me out a lot because he is extremely techincal since he is pretty much the smallest guy in the gym
Thanks gang... This dude is so great, when he takes your back, trying to peel him off is like trying to scratch an itch you can't reach. It's the best kind of frustration... I'm terrified of the day he perfects his submission game!
And kudos to the blue(black) belt for keeping the roll civilized and not trying to brute force through the roll. You can tell from the first take down attempt that he went softly and didn't try to smash you. A really enjoyable bjj partner
Yeah, it was pretty clear from the first throw attempt that he was certainly being super cautious considering the limited mat space and the people rolling on the other side, first throw he could had finished by moving him towards the white mat.
George stopped at our gym in Orlando and he was incredible and awesome to watch. We kept emptying one mat for his standup with our other judokas and it was just a great to see them talk about the levels of skill he had especially considering they were all black or brown belts.
I’m 185lbs, and 3 of my favorite training partners are 225lbs, 260lbs, snd 290lbs. For me, the Omaplata is my favorite and most effective attack. Big guys have a fear of rolling out of the sub and taking bottom position. They usually also have inflexible shoulders.
Pretty much exactly the same post I was going to make. My gym has lots of super heavy weights and I omoplata all of them, they don't tend to be very fast at rolling out of it like the smaller guys so I can always catch their hips before they roll and as No Floor Nerds EndOfLine said, they tend to have inflexible shoulders.
I'm down to about 285, and my shoulders are very flexible. I don't get omaplata used on me that often. I once had a purple belt try it against me in no-gi and I just flipped him around. He's landed it against me once afterwards but it took him forever. I'm still a white belt, btw. The most effective (annoying) attacks I get from smaller guys (everyone in my gym weighs less than I do) have to do with taking my back and choking me. Guys closer to my size can't do it so easily. I always look at stuff like tempo. A smaller guy has more speed and usually can gas out a larger guy. So as the larger guy, my whole game is to slow the other guy down and use my strength and size. I'm giving up speed to pretty much everyone, and even if I can be explosive, I can't sustain that like someone smaller might. So I have a pretty good base and try to make him do the work. I can move myself but it's easier to move the other guy. I always try to get pressure from top if I can, or sweep to get to top if I'm on bottom if I can, unless the other guy is close to my size. It's very hard to submit from the bottom against someone a lot smaller.
I love this video…first you’re so respectful to the other fighter in words and on the mats and secondly you share so much useful knowledge! I know these videos take time and effort so thank you for doing it.
It's very hard! I wish I had access to some judo classes or a judo instructor. Not many options where I'm at. Judo is probably the area of my game that is least refined.
What a great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are doing a terrific job putting out content with consistent high quality. I now know that when you upload a video is going to be worth watching. Thanks a lot, Jordan! Keep it up!!!!!
Your way of roling is really great, that guy was not just a judo black belt but a moster ovrweighting you minimum 50 pounds, you both feet on hips sweet is pure class bro, congrtulations..i also really like your calm and controlled approach to this stuff, can be understood by your voice tone
Thanks man! Jeff is great. I've learned so much from his channel in both the technical aspect of striking as well as content creation. I'll be doing some filming with him next month :)
Newb question here: around 10:35 mark after Jordan grips his collar for the choke, is it fair game to attack that grip? Like the only way to get out would be to attack those fingers /grip but that’s not considered to be proper BJJ etiquette right? Or even if he did he would have just got caught by a different strangle?
10:13 - I prefer to roll with people bigger than I am. I was just training with a friend who is a brown belt and 6'8" or so, probably like +255. It's the only way to know that your technique is strong enough, just like lifting a heavier weight in the weight room separates good form from bad. Bad form doesn't work or gets injured. Bigger people require more energy, full stop. Additionally, the ends of their limbs are muich stronger levers than a shorter person's. They also have a much larger "inside position" to defend. I find these concepts to be effective tools. I love rolling with judoka. Our black belts are all wrestlers from birth, so stand-up is one of the strongest parts of our jiujitsu. It's great training when someone can threaten a completely different set of techniques on the feet. Also, this dude is clearly a killer. The amount of force he's generating from his frames and movement on the bottom is crazy, if I'm seeing what it looks like I'm seeing. Shout out to Chris! Oh, hey Jordan, I'm finally getting around to doing a martial arts RUclipsr podcast, would you want to be a guest? Thanks for the great videos, as always! - Jared
I roll with a 6"7 250 guy im 180 6" and I regularly take his back thanks to your underhook from closed guard approach. From there I make his life difficult until I see a submission. Thank you these videos
Jordan, your channel is next level BJJ content. Slowly honed down to checking your channel for what I’m looking for before checking anywhere else. Keep it up
I'm 5'6" 145lb (male) so most people I roll with are bigger and heavier than me. I'm only blue belt but have been having decent success lately by surfing guys more from the top - going from side control to knee ride to north south etc. It's better than trying to completely immobilise someone who can literally just bench press you 😅
well, at the end of the day, we don't train jiu-jitsu to be able to defeat smaller and weaker people : ) you don't need jiu-jitsu for that i kind of pity the big guys in a way, because it's harder for them to develop technique when 90% of their sparing partners are small (from their perspective), they're not getting very good feedback it's harder for them to tell if they're doing something properly, or just bruteforcing it such guy has nobody of his size in the gym (or one other guy, whose game he's already learned inside out), then he goes to a competition, and oops, his favorite stuff doesn't work anymore because he (finally) runs into someone who's just as heavy and strong. particularly problematic for big guys who train in smaller clubs
Yeaaa you gotta learn to ride the bigger people's movements and use their big pushes to just get you to other positions and keep wearing them down that way.
Great video. That camp looked awesome. All of my favorite BJJ RUclipsrs (you, Jedi, Tyler, and Carson). I wish I could have been there. As for rolling with the big boys (I call them 'farm animals'), I'm happy to stay on top and let the submissions come instead of trying to force something to happen. I think you're right that your success will come from taking the back and getting a collar. Your videos are so good. I love how you include both principles and techniques. Super helpful. I admired how you humbly admitted your difficulty pulling the John Wayne sweep on a guy that big and whose base was so solid. Keep up the good work.
It was an incredible experience. Definitely come next year if you can! I'll be announcing a US camp very soon as well. Thank you for the kind words too 🙏👊
Best moves for big guys is a question I want an answer to as well. I’m about 175lbs and I’m competing in the absolute division in a couple weeks. I’m really lanky, so I like chaining arm bars from triangles. Hammer locks are gold in general. You don’t need a lot of movement to generate tons of force, and from the spiral ride, you’re using your entire body to pop the arm out.
I am about 115lb and my favorite is to roll with guys at least 50lbs more. Also, a balloon sweep works very well on someone else of larger size, I used it yesterday! Feels great to finally have some new skills up my gi lol!
I'm 5' 11" 175lbs. I try to mount big guys and let them bench press me while trying to make myself like a water bed not a statue. When they tire I go for Ezekiel.
Ok, on big guys. If I have mount, I ratchet up an arm to threaten arm triangle. But they can power out so I focus my neck more toward their elbow, for control. Then Ezekiel or back take. Strong guys will hurt their shoulder before they’ll let you choke them. Gotta go around.
thank you for the amazing video my dude I've been trying to learn bjj for 5-6 months and I've always been for the more real scenarios thank you thank you much love :)
I've been watching your rolling commentaries ever since I started about a year ago and lately I've been noticing exactly what's happening before you say it, including mistakes or intentions while rolling. It used to all be nonesense to me but I think I'm really starting to get it. Thanks for making so many of these! I would love to see you roll with mikey musumeci!
Over the last decade I can't think of too many things that I have problems with...but over the last 2 years...there's been 1 black belt that has seem to always get me on my side with my back to him...he's been able to attack that arm...fairly simple...everyone else doesn't even come close..but he keeps nailing it. My strength is of very little use against him. ....and I am still in the 1100-1200 lb 3 collective lift area....squat, bench, deadlift.... 6'3 , 210lbs... Out of everyone I roll with ( all ranks) his approach has been nearly flawless.
I don’t enjoy rolls with the big guys. They will withhold their strength until they get compromised, and then violently explode out of it without proper technique, occasionally increasing risk for injuries to both of us
Just wanna say I love your videos and learn sooo much. I just entered my first tournament as white belt training for only 3 weeks and brought home the gold! 🥇 Idk if I posted this on one your of other videos but I just had to share bc these vids help so much. Just the little things like fighting for underhooks. 🙏
While rolling in a gi could the judoka dude. Use your belt against you cause it was so loose? At the leopard shorts part. Use it in a cross collar choke or baseball choke. I’m not savvy with gi strangleholds.
I would love a video on dealing with Stronger explosive guys. There’s this guy who pops into my gym, he’s not even a big guy, he’s maybe 5’8, 180, but he’s solid muscle. Specifically upper body. Big arms, chest, back. He is on steroids and he lifts weights all the time. He’s also very explosive. When he rolls with guys, he just uses muscle to get position. When he taps guys he isn’t even choking them with a deep, proper submission that’s sinked in, he just grabs there head in a headlock, or a guillotine, and he squeezed using all his muscle. I’ve even seen him escape mount by just exploding up. And I like to think of myself as a slow, pressure style, I like side control and mount, and I try using slow movements with tight control in order to stop people from escaping. But with this guy, I can start mount, and he will explode out every time. I try to avoid him because he explodes on subs and ultimately I’d rather train smart over a guy grabbing a straight ankle and ripping full force. How do you deal with big strong juice heads who just out muscle your every movement?
I like rolling with the big guys. My main training partner is a huge dude. I find myself having a bit of success with the sacrifice throws. What ends up working is sumi gaeshi, tomo, Kata guruma, and single legs once in a while. Fighting from the bottom is REALLY hard. I often go for spider guard so there's less pressure. sometimes leads to triangle(hard to finish on biggies) or it transitions to omoplata or armbar. I end up going for legs game when I can. Even staying on top is hard, so I switch position often. Kesa gatame armbars work if I can sneak them fast.
One of my more challenging partners outweighs me by 100lbs. I’ve had success with the sit out to back take. But man when he gets side control…. It’s rough. I really appreciate how you think principle based, rather than procedurally. It’s helped my game a lot. “Hips higher”
Well we're rolling not competing so intensity isn't the same as it would be in a tournament. Not that we're going light but not competition intensity either.
I love this video, I train with people way heavier then me and sometimes can be a bit frustrating because of their strength but seen this video is great cause you just show how hard can it be training with a experience opponent in Judo or wrestling and even though they are a blue belt in bjj they can be really hard to submit. I used to think I was bad rolling with heavy people who has experienced in judo and wrestling. Thanks Jordan for this video it was really great and fun to watch.
Great roll on that guy is not a blue belt or shouldn’t be. He has the patience of a brown. He never freaked out and his judo is ridiculous. Great job as always.
Jordan you inspired the freaking hell out of me and what you just did to that huge man was every single reason why I joined jiujitsu. It's the only martial art on the planet that would of enabled you to submit that man and control him the way you did. You need to call your instructor and just thank him for the gifts he bestowed upon you because I just witnessed a lamb slaughter a lion. That sparing session was so inspiring to watch a little BJJ person take out a super huge and in shape Judoka. Jordan god bless you, I bet your were on cloud nine, submitting this guy. I could tell this dude was not no ordinary blue belt and was freaking strong as an ox and skillful. I actually thought he might get you but you showed me with lots of training and superior technique you can conquer even the biggest problems in life. Damn that was awesome to watch. It's like something triggered in you and you saw and realized that you had to totally change your mount game on him because he was trying to muscle you off which he was close a few times and then you just switched your mount variations and piece by piece got him to his back. Hey man that was jiu-jitsu at its finest and you reminded me of my Sensei Megaton. Megaton has a very similar body style to yours and it's so fun to watch him dismantle giants. He always tells me, Timothy we must train so that when the devil comes we will be ready.❤❤❤
I’m a 52 year old 2 stripe white belt 215 lbs. My main training partner is a world champion power lifter, 37 years old, also 2 stripe white belt, has a 460 bench and a 650+ deadlift. So yeah, I get crushed like pineapple. That level of strength is like a superpower.
Very insightful roll! Have a question regarding balloon sweep - is rotation of an opponent is required for safety reasons or for better position after the sweep? Thanks!
Fun roll. I'm one of the smaller big guys (205 lbs) so hy default I get paired with all the 250lbers 😢. I usually go for trips and try and keep top position but it's rough.
Hi Jordan on 4:46 could you of moved your left hand forward and your right hand a little back to maybe fall on him into side control while he was pushing you up
Ya that would have helped for sure. I didn't mention it in the video but I had food poisoning and hadn't eaten for days. So it definitely wasn't my best performance haha
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu no no i wasnt judging it i just noticed it and just wanted to see if i was correct or am i missing something and thanks for the fast replay
He's insanely strong and way stronger and heavier, that helps. I think it really depends on which judo school you were taught? Some judo schools focus 100% on competition judo from start, so they'll only do and learn the olympic rule styles, which is quite limited. Some schools which offer a more oldschool program have lots of ne-wazi techniques and maybe even some sparring @@muhammadkamil3558
Thanks man! I couldnt live with myself if i took the easy way out haha. It was fun for me to start standing with him. Next year I'll do a full judo round with him and look forward to getting thrown around haha.
Great vid! Huge fan of your channel, just a lil constructive criticism - this one was a touch too heavy on the replay imo. Ive loved the way you usually do it with like one replay and then you keep moving, keeps the momentum of the roll goin for the viewer. Love your stuff!
Definetly see your point and it's something that's tough to balance. Education Vs entertainment but I just try to commit fully to education. So when I want to give a lot of context I have to replay certain parts multiple times is the thing. I'll upload the full unedited roll to my second channel 🙂
Jordan you look like you had a hard time to find the solution on this one 😅 gosh he looks strong and he is obviously smart...super sweet video at the end thank you again
Thanks man! He's really good and really strong. I didn't mention it in the video but I actually hadn't eaten in 4 days due to being sick, so my energy levels were pretty low. Next year I want to get a full judo round in with him. I'm confident I'm going to get thrown around lol
why isn't judo incorporated into bjj? I understand they are two different sports and the rules sets for scoring points is different. But why? Shouldn't take downs in judo be a fundamental part of engaging your opponent on the mat or in the streets? I'm not a practitioner so I'm pretty ignorant. I also look at sambo and see they incorporate judo and wrestling takedowns into there style of grappling. I'd like to learn more so if one day I decide to take up martial arts I would like to be more well rounded.

What the fuck are the bigger guys for you😂, u have Ngannou in ur gym lmao
That’s sick man. Size is a big factor in grappling and it’s cool to see that even though he’s so light, he uses efficient techniques to succeed.
Love that mentality.
hahaha it reminds me a lot of my friend who is a purple belt 4 stripes who is like 60kg (around 130lb) and im around 94kg ( around 210lb) and im a sambo guy and 3 stripe white belt and i pretty much never use strengt i only use technique and he helps me out a lot because he is extremely techincal since he is pretty much the smallest guy in the gym

He used to come visit our dojo in upstate NY to learn some judo from us at the Jason Morris Judo Center. Nicest guy you'll ever meet :)
Really wonderful play-by-play commentary. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
I’m 185lbs, and 3 of my favorite training partners are 225lbs, 260lbs, snd 290lbs. For me, the Omaplata is my favorite and most effective attack. Big guys have a fear of rolling out of the sub and taking bottom position. They usually also have inflexible shoulders.

I'm a bigger guy (240) and this is true
Big guy with inflexible shoulders here 🙋🏾♂️
Smaller guy (175lbs) with inflexible shoulders also checking in
I'm down to about 285, and my shoulders are very flexible. I don't get omaplata used on me that often. I once had a purple belt try it against me in no-gi and I just flipped him around. He's landed it against me once afterwards but it took him forever. I'm still a white belt, btw.

I can move myself but it's easier to move the other guy. I always try to get pressure from top if I can, or sweep to get to top if I'm on bottom if I can, unless the other guy is close to my size. It's very hard to submit from the bottom against someone a lot smaller.

Dope!! Please do more judo videos. I started judo recently and it's so damn hard.
It's very hard! I wish I had access to some judo classes or a judo instructor. Not many options where I'm at. Judo is probably the area of my game that is least refined.
Amazing video. I've been absolutely loving this sport and your channel is why I started actually going into the gym rather than just watch videos

Rolling with big guys is underrated, what works on them is certain to work in comps against similar size people or even in self defense scenarios
That guy is gonna be a monster by the time he gets his black belt.

I appreciate that a lot! That's always my goal and I plan to keep improving and implementing new ideas 🙂
Right! This roll was amazing
Chris is an absolute weapon! 💯 amazing work as always coach
Thank you! Such a beast of a man. With more bjj specific training he'll be a force.

you don't need jiu-jitsu for that
i kind of pity the big guys in a way, because it's harder for them to develop technique
when 90% of their sparing partners are small (from their perspective), they're not getting very good feedback
it's harder for them to tell if they're doing something properly, or just bruteforcing it
such guy has nobody of his size in the gym (or one other guy, whose game he's already learned inside out), then he goes to a competition, and oops, his favorite stuff doesn't work anymore because he (finally) runs into someone who's just as heavy and strong.
particularly problematic for big guys who train in smaller clubs

That was beautiful. Inspirational! Thank you.
Thank you!
Don't know any Judo black belts who would throw on a White belt/Blue belt and start all over again.
Much less an actual Olympian.
Respect.
I've been watching your rolling commentaries ever since I started about a year ago and lately I've been noticing exactly what's happening before you say it, including mistakes or intentions while rolling. It used to all be nonesense to me but I think I'm really starting to get it. Thanks for making so many of these!
I would love to see you roll with mikey musumeci!
Amazing stuff glad to see Chris being highlighted
Thanks! Chris is a beast.
For sure I train with Joe and those guys. Next year I will be there
Thanks Jordan! Quickly, you've made your way into my top BJJ content creators 🙂
Against other big guys I find myself having to put my top-side knee right on their hip or belt to gain a bit more leverage for the john wayne sweep.
Over the last decade I can't think of too many things that I have problems with...but over the last 2 years...there's been 1 black belt that has seem to always get me on my side with my back to him...he's been able to attack that arm...fairly simple...everyone else doesn't even come close..but he keeps nailing it. My strength is of very little use against him. ....and I am still in the 1100-1200 lb 3 collective lift area....squat, bench, deadlift.... 6'3 , 210lbs...
Out of everyone I roll with ( all ranks) his approach has been nearly flawless.
Beautiful content. Thank you for all of this.
Textbook wearing a big man down by constantly moving and making him constantly have to move. Great patience
👊 my professor is also a judo black belt. No way in hell am I standing with him. I pull gaurd EVERY TIME lol
I don’t enjoy rolls with the big guys. They will withhold their strength until they get compromised, and then violently explode out of it without proper technique, occasionally increasing risk for injuries to both of us
Good to have u back🤙
Happy to be back!
Awesome video! Been training BJJ 4 days a week for 4 months and having a blast.
Awesome! Best sport there is 🙌
Just wanna say I love your videos and learn sooo much. I just entered my first tournament as white belt training for only 3 weeks and brought home the gold! 🥇 Idk if I posted this on one your of other videos but I just had to share bc these vids help so much. Just the little things like fighting for underhooks. 🙏
Thank you so much and congrats man! Keep up the great work 💪
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu thanks man another tourney in July so I think ima so that one as well thanks for the help!
@@KingStackkzhow many days a week? I’m going 3 that’s all we have at my club.
It was nice of him to take it easy standing. He let the Sasaei go at the beginning.
I recently had a 2 level spinal fusion and will return in a couple months, but as 140lb male I think my days of rolling with big dudes is over.
Amazing! Thanks for posting!
The pointing fingers wearing the gi is so cool
Great Roll! 🙌🙌🙌
Nice work Jordan. That guys gonna be a handful as he progresses
Thanks! Definitely. He's a beast and great guy.
This looks like the most fun bat mitzvah ever!
Good narration! Better technique! Thank you for the breakdown and explaining the thought process. Many instructors do not do this well.
While rolling in a gi could the judoka dude. Use your belt against you cause it was so loose? At the leopard shorts part. Use it in a cross collar choke or baseball choke. I’m not savvy with gi strangleholds.
No its illegal to use your belt like that
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu thank you coach!
I would love a video on dealing with Stronger explosive guys. There’s this guy who pops into my gym, he’s not even a big guy, he’s maybe 5’8, 180, but he’s solid muscle. Specifically upper body. Big arms, chest, back. He is on steroids and he lifts weights all the time. He’s also very explosive. When he rolls with guys, he just uses muscle to get position. When he taps guys he isn’t even choking them with a deep, proper submission that’s sinked in, he just grabs there head in a headlock, or a guillotine, and he squeezed using all his muscle. I’ve even seen him escape mount by just exploding up. And I like to think of myself as a slow, pressure style, I like side control and mount, and I try using slow movements with tight control in order to stop people from escaping. But with this guy, I can start mount, and he will explode out every time. I try to avoid him because he explodes on subs and ultimately I’d rather train smart over a guy grabbing a straight ankle and ripping full force. How do you deal with big strong juice heads who just out muscle your every movement?
I like rolling with the big guys. My main training partner is a huge dude. I find myself having a bit of success with the sacrifice throws.
What ends up working is sumi gaeshi, tomo, Kata guruma, and single legs once in a while.
Fighting from the bottom is REALLY hard. I often go for spider guard so there's less pressure. sometimes leads to triangle(hard to finish on biggies) or it transitions to omoplata or armbar.
I end up going for legs game when I can.
Even staying on top is hard, so I switch position often.
Kesa gatame armbars work if I can sneak them fast.
Man we need to start crosstraining with our Judo brothers and sisters. We have a lot to teach eachother.
Agreed! This made me really want to learn more judo.
Great technical roll with a highly skilled opponent 👍
One of my more challenging partners outweighs me by 100lbs. I’ve had success with the sit out to back take. But man when he gets side control…. It’s rough.
I really appreciate how you think principle based, rather than procedurally. It’s helped my game a lot. “Hips higher”
Man that looks exhausting. Specially that you were all sick before. Great job.
Hadn't eaten in 4 days here 😬. Next time I want to get a judo only round when I'm at 100%. I can't wait to go back!
Great material !
Yooo! Sign me up for the next trip... that my home and I had no idea BJJ was a thing there!
Very nice transition to take the back
I've struggled with hitting the John Wayne sweep on bigger guys too.
Great roll bro☄️☄️
Great vid, looked like a hard round 🤜🤛
Loving rolling with big guys. I'm really good at staying in their side control
Thxxx
But he seems going easy when going takedown.
the throws are normally 120% power when they throw.
Well we're rolling not competing so intensity isn't the same as it would be in a tournament. Not that we're going light but not competition intensity either.
SLOW MOTION...... ****THANK YOU**** I'm so glad I found this channel!
I like the pointing hands.
Strengths Vs technique, that was really cool 👍
Thanks!
I love this video, I train with people way heavier then me and sometimes can be a bit frustrating because of their strength but seen this video is great cause you just show how hard can it be training with a experience opponent in Judo or wrestling and even though they are a blue belt in bjj they can be really hard to submit. I used to think I was bad rolling with heavy people who has experienced in judo and wrestling. Thanks Jordan for this video it was really great and fun to watch.
They've been grappling their whole lives! Just different rulesets. So it's normal if you have a hard time with them 🙂. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I definitely enjoy seeing how you handle the ultra heavies. I'm 150 lbs, so I'm always dealing with larger training partners. lol
Not easy being on the smaller side in this sport. I've lost some weight but plan on gaining it back. Makes life/bjj easier haha
Great roll on that guy is not a blue belt or shouldn’t be. He has the patience of a brown. He never freaked out and his judo is ridiculous. Great job as always.
The breakdown was awesome 👍
Good roll...that looked laboring as hell !!!
Awesome dude! I died when you mentioned the leopard print 😂
😅
Jordan you inspired the freaking hell out of me and what you just did to that huge man was every single reason why I joined jiujitsu. It's the only martial art on the planet that would of enabled you to submit that man and control him the way you did. You need to call your instructor and just thank him for the gifts he bestowed upon you because I just witnessed a lamb slaughter a lion. That sparing session was so inspiring to watch a little BJJ person take out a super huge and in shape Judoka. Jordan god bless you, I bet your were on cloud nine, submitting this guy. I could tell this dude was not no ordinary blue belt and was freaking strong as an ox and skillful. I actually thought he might get you but you showed me with lots of training and superior technique you can conquer even the biggest problems in life. Damn that was awesome to watch. It's like something triggered in you and you saw and realized that you had to totally change your mount game on him because he was trying to muscle you off which he was close a few times and then you just switched your mount variations and piece by piece got him to his back. Hey man that was jiu-jitsu at its finest and you reminded me of my Sensei Megaton. Megaton has a very similar body style to yours and it's so fun to watch him dismantle giants. He always tells me, Timothy we must train so that when the devil comes we will be ready.❤❤❤
I watched the entire video, and as per request, I’m leaving a comment and liking the video 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I appreciate that man thank you!
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu thank YOU for the great content!
I’m a 52 year old 2 stripe white belt 215 lbs. My main training partner is a world champion power lifter, 37 years old, also 2 stripe white belt, has a 460 bench and a 650+ deadlift. So yeah, I get crushed like pineapple. That level of strength is like a superpower.
Can't wait to see you on that self defense competition!
I can't wait to do it! I'm coming for the belt haha. I'm determined 💪
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu 4 words: CON-DI-TION-ING
Very insightful roll! Have a question regarding balloon sweep - is rotation of an opponent is required for safety reasons or for better position after the sweep? Thanks!
For both safety and practicality. Because if someone can post of their head, they will. Which will prevent the sweep.
Jordan got balls of steel to be standing up that long against this big man
Haha thanks! There was no way I was pulling guard. Next year I want to do a judo only round with him. I know for fact I'm getting thrown haha
Fun roll. I'm one of the smaller big guys (205 lbs) so hy default I get paired with all the 250lbers 😢. I usually go for trips and try and keep top position but it's rough.
Dude you are awesome. Really good, would love to see you roll with someone great like Roger Gracie. That would be incredible
Hi Jordan on 4:46 could you of moved your left hand forward and your right hand a little back to maybe fall on him into side control while he was pushing you up
Ya that would have helped for sure. I didn't mention it in the video but I had food poisoning and hadn't eaten for days. So it definitely wasn't my best performance haha
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu no no i wasnt judging it i just noticed it and just wanted to see if i was correct or am i missing something and thanks for the fast replay
Nice match. It looked like a lot of work on both sides. Love the slowed down videos!
🙏👊
The judo guy is insanely good. A black belt like Jordan would kill most blue belts in 30 seconds.
He's insanely strong and way stronger and heavier, that helps. I think it really depends on which judo school you were taught? Some judo schools focus 100% on competition judo from start, so they'll only do and learn the olympic rule styles, which is quite limited. Some schools which offer a more oldschool program have lots of ne-wazi techniques and maybe even some sparring @@muhammadkamil3558
Props for not pulling guard against a stand up olympian
Thanks man! I couldnt live with myself if i took the easy way out haha. It was fun for me to start standing with him. Next year I'll do a full judo round with him and look forward to getting thrown around haha.
Those two guys standing in the background look like Statler and Waldorf in the balcony from the Muppets
He did really well.
Great vid! Huge fan of your channel, just a lil constructive criticism - this one was a touch too heavy on the replay imo. Ive loved the way you usually do it with like one replay and then you keep moving, keeps the momentum of the roll goin for the viewer. Love your stuff!
Definetly see your point and it's something that's tough to balance. Education Vs entertainment but I just try to commit fully to education. So when I want to give a lot of context I have to replay certain parts multiple times is the thing. I'll upload the full unedited roll to my second channel 🙂
Againts 100+ kg big strong guys I like to play single leg lapel sweeps from bottom half guard.
Jordan you look like you had a hard time to find the solution on this one 😅 gosh he looks strong and he is obviously smart...super sweet video at the end thank you again
Thanks man! He's really good and really strong. I didn't mention it in the video but I actually hadn't eaten in 4 days due to being sick, so my energy levels were pretty low. Next year I want to get a full judo round in with him. I'm confident I'm going to get thrown around lol
Superb!
why isn't judo incorporated into bjj? I understand they are two different sports and the rules sets for scoring points is different. But why? Shouldn't take downs in judo be a fundamental part of engaging your opponent on the mat or in the streets? I'm not a practitioner so I'm pretty ignorant. I also look at sambo and see they incorporate judo and wrestling takedowns into there style of grappling. I'd like to learn more so if one day I decide to take up martial arts I would like to be more well rounded.
