I’ve just bought this and the concepts have massively changed the game for me - yes I’m not taking backs and subbing, but I’m getting subbed nowhere near as much as im thinking about the right things. Thanks Jordan
Man, watching these videos is reminding me of how many bad habits I still have. Been training for 6 months but it oftentimes doesn't feel like it. Still happy to use this as motivation to move forward!
I’m 9 months in and I’m getting my ass kicked all the time. I’ve just decided that I’m going to stick with it and I stopped caring about how I feel or look and I just want to improve. This video is so YUGE, it’s everything I need to focus on.
@@senecaturnpike9179 Exactly, that's the right attitude to have. I used to be super competitive in sports, but I've really dialed back. I'm doing BJJ to learn self-defense, stay in shape, and socialize with people. Almost quit in the first month because I was getting wrecked all the time, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Each day I'm just going through the motions and focusing on the basics when I roll.
@@paprika5487 my cousin is one of the best bjj players on earth, and so I put way too much pressure on myself. I got my ass whooped about 100x and decided, ok no one expects anything from me, now I can just try to figure this out like everyone else lol. Sometimes when our worst fears happen, (at least for me) I thought, ok…. The world didn’t end, it wasn’t that bad. Then I was able to just focus on learning. I’m still getting beat up and I can’t see when that’s going to end and I’ve made peace with it. I’m 37 years old, and I leave a better man every time.
For being a new white belt Glen (sp?) is doing pretty good! No crazy spazzing or death grip+twist type of stuff. He's making the mistakes you'd expect to see but he has control and isn't panicking. Actually nice to see. I don't even know how many times I've had a white belt panic and grab two of my fingers and twist them to "just breaking your grips bro". Thanks for the video!
I love that you incorporate safety details in each video. Great work! A lot of Etiquette and good Jiu Jitsu Manner has been learned from these types of videos and podcast
Thank you, I really appreciate that! Ya, I always try to share more than "just" the technique. I want people to become the best that they can be at BJJ and that takes more than just knowing how to apply techniques 🙂
You gave some advice around the two minute 30 second mark, and I think it’s really important advice that is, unfortunately, ignored or unknown by so many people in the jiujitsu community. Don’t start on your knees. I don’t know how it came to be a thing in jiujitsu, but it’s so silly. Maybe it’s because BJJ practitioners are often unfamiliar with takedowns and operate under the incorrect belief that there’s no way to safely practice takedowns. As always, excellent instruction and content. Thanks for taking the time.
Excellent as always! Could it be an idea to shoot a follow-up video with Glenn and his progress as well as, obviously, the new mistakes he's making now even though he's progressed?
These have been very reassuring. It's hard to not get in your head, especially after eating lots of armbars. These videos help to stay positive and realize that I'm going through a lot of the same mistakes as other white belts. Thanks for sharing these!
Once again, amazing breakdown of mistakes and how to take advantage of throes mistakes. I’ve improved MASSIVELY since watching your videos man. Keep up the good work
This is a remarkable and extremely helpful way to improve - or at least "think" better, which, as a blue belt, seems to be my wash-spin cycle of mediocrity...
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu i am hehe your videos are such a big help for a newbie like me hehe.. It would be on my bucket list to go to CA and visit your gym 😊 much love from the Philippines!!
This is exactly what i was looking forward to seeing! Lower belt mistakes in both offensive and defensive positions. Thanks a bunch Jordan! Stay awesome✋👊
Man pls make series of you smashing lower belts titled "X belt mistakes you can learn from". Honestly such an effective way to learn you've spotted something genius
The more I train the more I see people falling into the same patterns when they just start or are still white belts. I am a white belt myself, I've been training for 2 months only (although taking crazy overtime and probably watching way too much youtube - paid off, I received my 1st stripe 2 weeks ago :D ) and I think it's really cool to start understanding those patterns and stop falling into some of them. A video like that one helps to see that too and it is also a value. I mean you can see certain situations, you can relate to them from your own rolls and think 'I already started defending this move' this is pretty cool feeling to have that awareness :D For example - no matter what, I will never reach up from bottom position and I will always wait for a new joiner to do it rather sooner than later :D Thanks man, you help a lot with your tips. Greetings from Poland ;)
Jordan, I had my first (no-gi) BJJ class today. I'm happy to say that I prevented several arm bars by using the T-Rex arms you're so adamant about! I made sure to tell my rolling partners that it was my first day, and that I'd prefer defending. It worked out beautifully, and a much more advanced guy even opted to flow with me :) My knees are all bruised up and my shoulder is a bit sore; I'm super excited to go back tomorrow for another session! Thank you so much for the incredibly technical breakdowns in your videos. I was nervous going into my first class, and now I'm pumped to keep going and keep learning!
That's amazing man! I'm glad you enjoyed it and had some grasp of what to and not to do going into it. The first class is the toughest but will only get easier from there when you get to know everyone and get more comfortable. Happy to help 🙏🙂
I love that you point out how the grips are so essential to the battle and highlight them in your exchanges. I'm just wondering how you go about teaching which grips are advisable and which are not? I notice that when they get good grips often you just adapt and move into the "counter move" (which is great for us to learn from!) and when they have bad grips you pass freely. So from the white belt perspective (in the roll), All of their grips would really just feel bad? Hopefully that makes sense.
The grips you take are dependent on the technique you want to pull off and vice versa. Think about grips needed for a specific pass. Those are grips you should take to achieve that pass. A lot of times people just grab randomly and think about the technique after. It's a tough question to answer because everything is so situational.
Love the videos Jordan, I end up watching them several times and use them for writing notes etc to help things sink in! I'm only rolling a few months so the white belt videos are my fav as I relate to them most! More please!!!
I'm only a blue belt so take this for what its worth. New white belts feel as light as a feather and are fun to move around the mats. Especially when they are chilled like this guy.
As someone who is about to start BJJ this week, a big thank you to Glen for making this video. Takes guts to get out there and roll and it's really helpful for us new guys to watch this so we know what to expect.
I love how right after the text commentary about you being tired, the next text commentary has the typo "vulvernable". Great videos Jordan. Your channel is amazing.
Your videos are incredible to learn from. The work and commentary is extremely helpful. I use these videos to keep my mind fresh when I can't train. Thankyou man!
Great video!!! Everyone especially new to bjj should watch these, these mistakes are so common and you can nip them in the bud before you start making them! Im always getting heel hooked and armbarred 😅
I just had my jiu jitsu competition in Tucson AZ! (Posted both matches on my RUclips) Lost in the finals but I had so much fun, that match is posted too. I have a lot to improve and work on but that’s the game!
Thanks for the videos. I’ve been thru a few different schools so far and I feel like these videos have made me progress exponentially more learning these tips then not realizing all these common mistakes. The techniques every class are great but I never was told any of these tips until I found your videos. Thanks !!
Techniques most used on me.... Triangles and armbars when trying to open and pass a guard... Tight side control pressure... Being sat on my chest.... You name it, it works on me.... Also loop chokes....
Do you incorporate any other types of fitness to improve athleticism (strength, speed, endurance, explosiveness, flexibility, coordination)? Or would you recommend simply rolling more? I’m really loving the videos! They are improving my game big time. Please keep it up!
I get wrist locked a lot by higher belts. As a white belt I do well against other white belts and most blues, but the higher belts don’t waste any time before hammering home the painful point against framing with my hands. I’m actually icing my wrist watching this because I had a higher belt snap in a wrist lock on me tonight!
surely the young man was shown how to do better, by the coach, I am also still a beginner and I believe by making mistakes you learn and a fight is won not only in theory but through practice - very good video and the coach was very respectful of the beginner. Class - Greats from Germany
Can you make a common blue belt mistakes video? Or like an "intermediate" grappler mistakes? I'm trying to see what I can do to bridge the gap to purple and up. Love the videos man.
Great video. Definitely appreciate the care you take to ensure your partner doesn't get unduly injured. That's pretty awesome! So many patrons...they are definitely well deserved. 😀👏👍👊
Thanks Nick! Check out my video "how to not get your guard passed" lots of tips in there to help your game and address why you're ending up on your back.👊
I am 58 and tried bjj for 2 months. I left couple weeks ago, I found i just could not keep up with class. I struggled with just the warm up as it was intense for the young guys. I tried masters class but i need beginner for the fundamentals. Most beginner classes i found i was left with no training partner so ended up just watching. I tried a private with coach and that made me realise i am missing all the fundamentals.
I've had exactly 2 classes so far as a brand new white belt, and so far I've fallen victim (to the same blue belt) to a rear collar choke once and one armbar. Both started from when I started getting impatient; the armbar from when he had me in mount, and the collar choke from when he had me in side control and my shrimping skills were not adequate to make enough space to escape.
Awesome! Was wondering when you'd post next! Have watched all your other videos and love your commentary as it really helps with visualization! I've finally been able to start hitting arm bars more consistently.
One of the brown belts at my academy taught me a while back about straight arms…. Fastest (but safe) armbar I’ve ever been put in lol. T-Rex arms for the W
Still making some of these mistakes from time to time, so this video is a great reminder and refresher for Noobs like moi. Hang in there white-belts! This is exactly how it's supposed to be in the beginning. Just increase time on the mats and decrease time inside your own head wondering why you suck 😅
im starting to train again recently and i am really enjoying these videos, i pulled the classic blue belt disappearance act after Life hit me hard. Watching from Iceland
taking notes for months but havent been able to use any tips recently as we are locked down in Shanghai. As a white belt the most common thing I tap to is a guillotine. The most confusing position for me is from bottom north south.
I many times get submitted with kimuras although initially, I kept my elbows tucked in and close to my chest but my training partner is somehow always able to isolate my arm with both his hands. I don't know if it's due to my weak brachialis muscles or something fundamentally wrong with my defense. I like to hear some advice/critique on this. Great instructional videos brother, cheers and wishes.
Man the emphasis on safety is awesome. I get so scared when rolling that my hand will get flexed all the way back (imagine your nails touching your forearm) by some dude landing on it or my knee getting twisted in a weird way or my ankle getting twisted in a weird way. Would love to roll with this guy, sick of rolling with white belts who feel the need to go ham.
Brother I be meaning to say thank you for all your videos! You make them very easy to learn and fun and you are a great jiu jitsu player and a great teacher!!! Oss🤙🏽👊🏽
The armbar is the one I've recently been getting caught in the most and I grab alot not keeping my hands close to me I'm a .month in and this video has def showed me a lot than you for this
Check out my BJJ Theory Course: courses.jordanteachesjiujitsu.com/courses/jiu-jitsu-theory-course
I’ve just bought this and the concepts have massively changed the game for me - yes I’m not taking backs and subbing, but I’m getting subbed nowhere near as much as im thinking about the right things. Thanks Jordan
Hang in there Glen! He looks exactly like me in the beginning: smiling and wondering what the hell is happening 😂
👊
I’m on the same boat and I'm loving it 😂
I've started a month ago. I feel exactly the same and do all these mistakes.
I know the feeling but am enjoying the journey 😊

Excellent teaching commentary, I love it. And the quote, “if instinct worked, we wouldn’t have to learn jiu jitsu”. 😊😊

Almost every class we do judo throws or double a’s but when sparing we start at the position where the lesson started at
This is how I feel when I roll with my teacher. Thanks for your comments, these help people like me a lot!
My pleasure! Happy to help 🙂
Stick with it Glenn, you’re learning from the best! Excited to see the progress
🙏 Can't wait do another with him in 6 months. And hopefully every 6 months after that. It'll be so cool to see his progress so visually!
More of these please :D These videos of pointing out white belt mistakes during a roll help incredibly much
More to come! 👊
These narrated rolls are the best. Thank you!
Thank you!

I have long arms and legs-> I triangle a lot of people, but people hit kimuras on me a bunch, even though I try not to leave my arms dangling
Sameeeeeeeee bro holy shit finally found someone i can relate to
But Im still gaining my overall strength and i hardly get submissions but I make it very very hard for them to submit me
Thanks a lot for this Jordan. I’m starting to understand my side control/escapes even more.
Im glad!
He’s a lucky student. This will be a great memento for him a few years down the road.
Thank you! I think so too. I love when people really enjoy being apart of this.
I still feel like glen after 8 months lol
These videos are so helpful! It really gives us beginners a clear idea of what we tend to do wrong and how to address our bad habits. Great work!
Thank you, Glen and Jordan.
Thank you for paying so much attention to keep Glenn safe! I'm just a white belt but that's something I'll try to keep in mind.
great to see someone who doesn't just hurt beginners to show how good he is. I believe humility should be part of MA training.

I get so scared when rolling that my hand will get flexed all the way back (imagine your nails touching your forearm) by some dude landing on it or my knee getting twisted in a weird way or my ankle getting twisted in a weird way. Would love to roll with this guy, sick of rolling with white belts who feel the need to go ham.
Great video! For me it's leg locks. I never really know what to do about them or stop them
Thanks Dillon! Working on putting out a leg lock video soon, until then check out my rolls with leg lockers, there are 2 live rolls👊
Can you make this a series? It is very helpfull. Great video!
It is already :)
I rolled with a black belt last Sunday. I’m a white belt. I think it was 4 or 5 arm bars. I’m learning this lesson. Fight instinct.
Best BJJ videos on youtube by far. How come you dont recommend to start rolling from the knees? I see it a lot at different gyms that I have visited.
One stripe white belt here...definitely get caught in the armbar the most but have been caught many many more times in many other submissions 😃
