Another gem! As a beginner I would love to see you make a series on pure fundamentals with perhaps some basic movement home drills for us complete newbies.
as a newbie! this video really helps, as I am an "old guy BJJ" practitioner, I want to build strong defence which will flow more natural, which with patience will lead to creating my own opportunities for offence, NOW!if I can just keep the body intact to keep training , lol.
Great advice as usual. What has really helped me as a new white belt is remembering and practicing to keep my elbows in tight a lot of the time along with when, not if, I feel a hand coming from over my shoulder to setup for a choke I reach up in an X position to go to "shake their hand" and try and prevent the choke.
Thank you not only for the very useful information, but also the easy-to-digest format. This is one of those videos I'm going to keep coming back to for a refresher.
I swear so many things clicked once I watched this video! Thank you and so well done, would be cool to see something similar on fundamentals on attacks maybe?
Of all the BJJ instructionals I feel like this is the one I've seem where the title actually matches the instructions in terms of what level he is speaking it. A lot of the time you'll see instructionals about fundementals meant for white belts explained at a level meant for colored belts.
Back defense is almost all defending the hooks as much it is defending the choke. In competititon you will give way too many points if the guy gets the hooks in. Anyone can defend the neck if you dont need to worry a bout the hooks. This dilemma is the problem (back defense is hard because its the hooks and the chokes/armlocks you need to defend.
this is good. Lots of general principles that apply in any position. I would love to see some of these positions broken down. ie) escapes from mount or escape from technical mount, etc
Guy in the background “if I don’t move they can’t see me” 😆

This is one of the most important fundamentals. This video is so well done. Very systematic.
Amazingly useful video. Beginners don't need 30mins of explanation for a single escape. This is solid advice for many positions, and easy to remember.

T-Rex making a bed... If you're extending a limb, it needs to be with intent and positional awareness... 😁
Great video. Lots to take in and implement but was I the only screaming “ DONT JUST STAND THERE, MOVE FROM THE DOOR!!!!! “

Amazing breakdown and always a ton of useful info. I can't tell you how much I needed this. Thanks, Coach Rick.
Face full of sunshine in the beginning! Great video!
Great content, Rick! It seems like yesterday I saw your blue belt exam on Roy's DVDs when they were released.
Time flies!

Great compilation of positions to protect your arms from, thanks Rick and Robin!
This is my favorite BJJ channel. Thanks for the content!
Another great video Rick!
Keep them Elbows Tight!!!
Great details, as always! Thank you!
Thank you very much for your fundamentals videos. I 'm beginner in bjj. It helps a lot. Your content is great.
Excellent videos mate
I had a partial shoulder dislocation and ligament strain at my first lesson because I didn’t keep my arms in and tried to post.
Excellent tips. Thank you very much
Thank you for your content and guidance.
Probably my new favorite bjj video title, lol.
Posture and shoulders are the key defense against chokes. Also if you look into chokes then it is hard to finish
Excellent content, thank you!
Watched this before my last class and never got swept or submitted. Im a 1 month white belt so huge for me
awesome tips thanks for sharing.
Great Video and concepts. Wish folks would pay attention to having Gis in different colors to instruction is better to see.
Pretty appropriate that the suggested video below this is a Priit one
Excellent!!!

I personally defend my neck first and foremost.
Excellent!
Bones!... 😉
And life not so bad
Excellent. Thanks
I still have this issue lol
sir, since your jiujitsu emphasizing heavily on concept, can you make video about underhook, greatly appreciated thanks and oss
Nice stuff!

Awesome
