When they are mounting you, you can try placing both of your hands on their ass and proceed to squeezing while at the same time maintaining eye contact for a full 5 seconds.
@@matthewmcveigh9484 It's for skipping to a spot once you've already watched the video.. If you have that salty of an attitude you should'n't be training BJJ :)
The #1 thing to know about BJJ is to never give space between you and your opponent. You want to be close and tight as possible at all times. Also, never go 100% all the time. Most new students do that because they try to out muscle everyone. You have to learn how to go slow and you go 100% when you see that you have an opportunity to finish the opponent. Do not tire yourself out otherwise you will be finished.
I am 22 years old and never trained martial arts my entire life. But i have played soccrr/football and worked out at gym for 5 years. Is it too late for me to start bjj now?
Same, I've done one class so far just trying not to die and I'm struggling to learn what exactly I can and can't do. But learning just a little bit gets me so excited for next class!!!
48 year old white belt with 4 classes under me. Thank you, I will work on these in class monday night while rolling. I do Jiu Jitsu to become a better version of my self. Oss!
As someone who has just started I love these videos. I’m not yet ready for ‘first ten submissions’ or ‘first five sweeps from guard’ type videos. These videos that show a couple of super basic but key concepts to help me survive during rolling are so valuable, it gives me something achievable to be aiming for during rolling so I can get something out of the roll and not just get smashed. Great video!!
I learned, never miss an opportunity to learn more. Been trying to get back under 265 to start going to a bjj school or see when my brother has off work he’d spare with me.
I'm 2 weeks in - had my first "free roll" last week and got smashed haha. It's a lot of fun trying to figure out how to survive. I hope to get better at surviving before I can even look to submit. This content is helping a lot.
@@simonwhitehead8878 dude I feel you lol The purple belt I roll with says I’m progressing nicely but really doing well in controlling my breathing. That’s something people don’t take into account when trying to fight. You get gassed within a few minutes. You know what I mean! Hope you do the same
0:50 (not mentioned in this video, as far as I've observed): you can also buck your hips up to make his elbows hit your chest if that's what you're looking for to trap his arm.
i've learned so much from Coach Tom from guard passes, to tightening up my positions and escaping crushing pressure.. Thank you so very much for everything, Grappling Academy.
It’s your positive attitude which makes learning from you so good. Some coaches use other methods I’m not too good with. That being said, thanks so much for the tips, Coach.
I’ve got really long legs. Someone one gave me a great tip for hip escapes from side control recently. Getting a butterfly hook in is much easier than getting my leg all the way through after the escape. It’s working really well and making me want to work on sweeps from butterfly!
As a white belt that only started this year, seeing all the "As a white belt that only started a month ago" from 2, 3, 4 years ago is pretty awesome, and imagine how far they have progressed since.
This is great. Been doing gi work for some time. Just started going to no gi classes and feel like a total fool. A great place to start as I get used to a loop chokeless world
Just came back from training, i started 2 days ago and got my first tap due to an arm triangle that was made possible because of the guard pass learned from here. Thank you very much and greetings from chile 🇨🇱
reading these comments makes me feel so much better about myself as a beginner :,) I'm the most inexperienced person in my class and haven't got any submissions at all, so to see other people in the same boat makes me more confident.
One of the Top Practical Coaches. Always pointing out small details -making a difference. Like w/ Umpa ..how many times has that been demo’ed.. Trapping the ankle but Straightening the leg when doing it. Thx Coach Tom!
Zia PSP .. yeah.. different details work for different people.. I’m quite small so I’d struggle to roll a guy without the angle being perfect. I don’t have a lot of strength either.
I’m not in BJJ but, I love the science of all martial arts. Boxing(my first love) kickboxing, wrestling, and obviously BJJ. I plan to to train in BJJ after basic training for the army 💯💪🏿
Always enjoy your teaching, you make these techniques easy to understand and follow. I been rolling for 7 months now and these techniques are so challenging with different rolling partners but so vital in BJJ. I just keep working them out and as I do I get better and better. Getting out underneath with the bridge is tough for me and the double leg takedown. I tend to get guillotine, with the takedown., but I like how you show hand position before squatting, I got to get that right first. Thank you
I liked the way I learn the bridge roll a little better. When we grab the arm we use our elbow to press their knee down and hook their leg with our leg. Then bridge up and roll.
Brother today was my THIRD day of BJJ and thanks to your videos last night and my coach I managed a gi choke from the rear AND a Kimora after using your tips to get side control 💪🏼💪🏼 Thanks man
I started yesterday training jiu-jitsu and was getting stuck in Mount and bottom side control. This definitely is a big help and I will definitely implement this into my game. Thanks my guy
Coach Tom, I really enjoy your vids, especially the Kesa Gatame one, such an awesome technique. I’m 60 years old and have only been training for 6 months. I really love Jiu Jitsu, and hope to be training for many years. Once again thank you very much, please keep the vids coming
Doing my 2nd bjj class on Monday and cannot wait to try these. Gonna practice on the kiddos til then haha (my 8 yr old daughter started classes with me). I got bit by the bjj bug first 10 minutes of class. Funnest ass whooping I've ever gotten.
Love the way you break down moves ! And your enthusiastic approach helps! The way you speak when you explain really keeps attention compared to some boring explanations of moves I’ve seen at gyms
appreciate these videos, just starting white belt one day a week for one hour, its not much but I've got 2 judo classes I take as well. Really need the ground work as I'm oblivious, these videos help, thanks.
There's a way to make that first move WAY more effective. Henry Akins teaches it. Keep your ear against your shoulder and use that as a fulcrum to roll over(you don't so much bridge as push your weight over the fulcrum). It requires way less effort also.
Love you videos thanks for spending the time to make them. I trained for 2 years and had an 8 year hiatus .. have been back 5 weeks and am slowly getting back to where i was ... i pulled off your baseball choke last week and am slowly improving. Still getting destroyed but can feel the progress. Thankyou professor Tom
One of the best videos of 5 basic moves that my self a white belt has viewed since about 200 BJJ videos ago. Oss from Christchurch New Zealand I will be watching this video everytime before I got to train. #Subscribed and followed!#🙏👊👊👊
I went to my first class a few days ago, and the techniques are basically two of these, with most of the difference being gi Vs nogi, so I feel like I'm watching some spoilers😂 thanks for the information coach/!
been binge watching BJJ videos since beginning my journey a week ago and this is easily the most helpful I found so far.. thank you so much for sharing.. the non-aircon moment for you was very much appreciated by me and apparently almost 1/2 million others so cheers!! :)
My mother has relatives to Australia, I am from Greece one day on future I realy wanna visit them to meet them and perhaps get the chance to roll with some Aussies you guys seem fun
These are great, I'm a 4 stripe white belt that is 5 weeks into returning to the sport after a 2 year break due to the pandemic / lock down restrictions / Kids and catching covid over here in Scotland. Videos like these help re-connect the dots!
very basic but very useful! though i am a 2-stripes white belt, i could not sometimes do basics well. thanks for uploading a good video ! :) from South Korea.
I like to roll from my back, and I like to use these moves you’re showing, but there is nothing like making a guy tap from your back. Thanks for the great video.
I have some "speed guys" at my academy, the go side and just to knee on belly very fast. I sometimes can avoid on side but the switch to the other side and cant avoid it

As a white belt only starting a month ago, I can confidently say that the guard pass and mount escape are essential to lengthening my survival time
Have you tried playing dead?

its harder to attack if your close and tight all the time... gotta create distance then shoot for the attack.

4 months ago. How’s it going?
Man, you captured my sentiments from my first class yesterday perfectly! 5 months later, you are probably master level compared to me right now 😆
Had my first class yesterday. It was wild. You still doing it or nah?
0:50 (not mentioned in this video, as far as I've observed): you can also buck your hips up to make his elbows hit your chest if that's what you're looking for to trap his arm.
As a white belt that just started yesterday, this is still over my head but I really appreciate it! I will watch this a few times and practice!
Watched this several times last night feeling good, and this morning when I got put into side control I completely forgot what to do. Pain.

This is awesome. Im 29 going for my 7th class tomorrow. Been a great experience and this video def was very informative👏👏👏👏🙌

Always pointing out small details -making a difference.
Like w/ Umpa ..how many times has that been demo’ed..
Trapping the ankle but Straightening the leg when doing it.
Thx Coach Tom!
It also helps if you turn your body to a 45 degree angle (opposite side you're going to roll him) .. rather than being parallel to the guy on top.
SimonDiamondMusic ...cool.
so many intricacies to fundamentals making it work at all levels...
Zia PSP .. yeah.. different details work for different people.. I’m quite small so I’d struggle to roll a guy without the angle being perfect. I don’t have a lot of strength either.
So sick seeing aussies doing these lessons on youtube. Cheers fellas from the south coast NSW !!!

Thanksssss
Thank you so much! I watched this video before class and used every one of these moves. They made my basics way stronger. Thanks again.
Bridge and roll is one of the most useful techniques I know as a 7 month white belt
most white belts don't see it coming for some reason. As soon as I mount someone, I prepare to not get bridge and rolled

Thanks for the tips now I’m on my journey to get my blue belt
This is so good for white belt, I am always having problem on escape side control, hope ur skill can save me from this disadvantage position. Cheers
Thanks for simplifying these essential moves with easy to understand coaching.
Hey! Great vid. About the AC - that kind of noise is usually pretty easy to clean up with Adobe Audition, I would give it a try!
The first move was cool because the variant I know was to hook the foot before you bridge, and I always had trouble keeping that foot in the hook
very clear, very good instruction.
My mother has relatives to Australia, I am from Greece one day on future I realy wanna visit them to meet them and perhaps get the chance to roll with some Aussies you guys seem fun

Superb video shall try in gym tomorrow. Great refresh after the year off
Man I really enjoy his videos. Thank you so much.
That guard pass works ALL DAY. vs purple belts too.
brilliant the escapes and the side control are invaluable
