cool you highlighted Meyram/Isaac match, not only Meyram had the performance of his career, that quarterfinal match was one the best 70kg match ive witnessed in awhile. (Isaac brought the 🔥 too)
Awesome vid. I almost exclusively outside pass to NS so I don't have to negotiate frames from the side. Emily Kwok has a nice video from YEARS ago on dealing with the feet. She basically does a knee on shoulder and pushes it he ankles away with v-grips. It works.
Great stuff. I like sandwiching them when I’m studying if that helps at all. Will watch comp or rolling footage of technique then breakdown then more rolling. Breakdowns of the comp footage is great too. Maybe you showing technique then u breaking down comp footage of said technique and then compilation of comp or rolling footage. Could put the rolling/comp footage at beginning or end or a little at both beginning and end. Either way your awesome! I’m a purpIe belt and I watch and recommend you to all the new people starting at our gym as well. Wish you the best you’ve helped my bjj tons!
Thanks so much buddy that feedback helps a lot! Makes a lot of sense to try to segment those different sections. Will play more with it and keep working on it
Will definitely do that! You have any perspective on what kind of videos you like most? Classically I did a lot more mat videos trying to mix it up with more narrations. Do you have any requests or perspectives?
@@JonThomasBJJ It would be really cool to hear you analyze one specific match from start to finish - or the interesting parts at least. Just commenting anything you notice. It kind of teaches one to be a better observer of jiu jitsu I think. Mixing in mat footage is always welcome. If I can request a specific grappler it would be Gustavo Batista
I found this great, you’re on fire with the format experimentation lately🗣️ I’ll try to understand details better and try to implement it in my game. The biggest pro is to get to see the techniques executed at the highest level with insightful commentary to help the viewer better see what you’re seeing. What I think could be the greatest area of improvement is funnily enough something you did on your secondary channel. It could probably help in some instances to work with frame-by-frame progressions, reversing and replaying the same move a couple of times when explaining certain details. I just thought it was so useful in a recent video that I think you could make use of those techniques in this format as well :) Freeze frames and drawing on the screen (e.g. with Epic Pen) is something Dimitrius Johnsson has shown to be useful to illustrate key concepts and principles (without having to edit more, since you he just draws while talking). Would recommend checking that out.
Sleeve control is something I've been experimenting with lately. Due to my base being judo/wrestling, grip fighting - or more specifically, sleeve and wrist control - has been drilled into my head as being super important and recently I've been trying to see if its usefulness translates to bjj. I feel like the core concept still makes sense - without arms, you really have no offensive capabilities, so it makes sense to control their arms when possible. I do find it easier in gi due to sleeve grip being an option and as a bonus, when they try to rebuild their base and get back up, the sleeve control gives me lots of options on immediate takedowns/throws. I'm curious where some of the pitfalls are though because I'm debating if I should make this a permanent part of my game but I'm certain there are some obvious weaknesses in this approach I'm overlooking. If you have any additional knowledge on using sleeve control for passing, that'd be amazing as well. Thank you!
Thank you Jon, great breakdown. Would it be possible to also consider a focus on one top competitor's fights, for example, Roger Gracie has an elite-level guard. What are three things that Roger does at this elite level, that you think that the rest of us could learn?
Haha happy to hear it! Let me know if you enjoy this format. I’m struggling to figure out what works best. A lot of times I really enjoy just pure on the mat videos but seems like a lot of people enjoy these kind of narration styles. Let me know if you have any thoughts
@@JonThomasBJJ It does engange more, I love the pure mat videos but I find it better when you mix with your own live footage or in this case with competition! Videos from LIMI (Less Impressed More Involved) also does this, reeeally breaking down the technique 😆

This video came just in time. I was looking to refine my north south passing. Thanks !

Fantastic details and explanations here! Really great example footage, too! Very helpful and informative!
this style of video is definitely easy to understand
Great will keep evolving with it
Wonderful my friend.
Thanks so much!

Very helpful bra when you mix in examples that work at top level
Amaizing video, thank you!

Oh great, something I'm working on.
0:59 hmm I'll give that one a miss!

Damn that was a fast comment lol
@@JonThomasBJJ still watching video, I'll at least finish it before I comment 😁
