When you said 'grabbing space' a lightbulb went off in my mind! Guard retention isn't merely recentering but also grabbing space. Such an important concept. Thank you Jon!!
You it seems like it should be so obvious but it really never occurred to me until last couple years how critical that is.
true
Easily the best BJJ coach on YT.
Three minutes into this and may I say:"well done sir, beautiful and clear explanation". 👌👏👏
Amazing that we get this golden content for free, appreciate it Jon.
No problem buddy I have fun making them and it has helped me grow my brand tremendously! So it’s mutually beneficial!
I really like the way you explain things. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jon. Love the concepts.
Thank you! Yes, more conceptual videos. Great tips.
I’m loving the way that you instruct, Jon!
really good watch! Love how clear it is
Excellent video makes a lot of sense thanks for sharing
Love your conceptual videos
Love the principles based videos! Thank you
Love all your stuff.
Great video, thanks. Cleared out a lot for me.
I personally love concept videos like these. Keep up the great work!
One of your best videos…
Super helpful concepts!
Great video, this helped my defense better than any video I've seen so far
Always such great videos from this channel!
Yes! More conceptual videos. It makes the moves make sense. Provides context for why moves work and where moves come from!
I swear I love watching your videos, I'm thankful you have a youtube channel!!
Clear, concise, and effective immediately. Thank you for great content. Liked and subscribed! Keep up awesome work.
You're a good teacher. Love the conceptual videos. Less steps to remember and a deeper understanding of those techniques you do know
I learn alot from rhe narration then the clips from the mat or actual competition.
This description prepares me for my daily sessions in the evenings.
Much appreciated...
Great video as always. Love your content, man.
Love these conceptual videos
That was so useful. The principles that underpin the technique is what I’m interested in to make sense of the myriad of options available! Thanks!
Man, this was great! Thank you!
Thank you for such an analytical video! I love that you focus on principles first, build that foundation, and then apply techniques on top later. Your analytical approach makes a lot of sense and helps things click.
Absolutely mind blowing, thanks for that!!! In my opinion, understanding these concepts is what really allows us to evolve our game, because it gives us the confidence to adapt to the different situations that can arise during the fight.
Your videos and concepts are awesome. They make so much sense. Goes to show Jiu-Jitsu is as much mentally strategic than it is physical.
Thank you 🙏🏻 sir
Fantastic conceptual teaching!
Great info pls keep doing your vids!
Thanks
Thanks for another great video. I was lucky enough to attend your seminar @lapelarts in Vancouver. I look forward to trying these principles.
Great stuff. Yes the conceptual videos are very helpful, please keep them coming. Thanks!
I will for sure! Happy you enjoyed it!
Thanks Jon this is a game changer for me as a white belt, great content!
Excellent instruction as always. I hear, 'control the distance' quite often at my gym. I knew what it was and to some degree how to achieve it, but, you just clearly showed me the reason why it's so important. Your instruction has helped me so much. Thank you.
Thanks sir. I'm sure these concepts will become useful for me as I am able to develop and incorporate them into my training.
Im about 4 months into training and catching on quick. giving blue belts a hard time already (not boasting) but you are making lightbulbs pop on left and right with these conceptual talks. I think this way is best to start instead of reeling through as many moves as you can.
I tried focusing on my favorite positions and nothing went as planned. But when i just defended myself, especially against stronger partners it usually went in my favor. You are a great communicator! 🙌💡THANK YOU!!
Wow you must be so good! You should be a blue belt yourself!!
Another good video man I appreciate you you’re really helping me!
Holy crap this was great! You talk very well and clearly deliver the message. Nice to see videos focusing on essentially a basic movement and complexity, but that which has a huge impact. .
This is probably the best high overview guard video I've ever seen
Your concept videos are the best. thank you
Thanks a lot buddy I really enjoy making them!
Thank you for your tips. I will start to focus more on what you mentioned.
blue belt
Thanks … great content please more
Great video. I've got your Open Guard instructional you did in colaboration with Stephan Kesting, and it is helping me a lot to build a solid guard game.
Really just love your channel overall. Jam packed with so much good information
Thanks so much buddy means a lot! Try to always have valuable information be the best rock of the channel
You and Jordan Teaches Jiu-jitsu are the best I've ever seen at explaining Jiu-jitsu in a conceptual manner. Really appreciate your work professor.
I appreciate you content and you clean deliver of topics!
Happy you have enjoyed it buddy!
Absolutely stellar video Jon! Such great concise, yet super valuable points here! Well done!
Thanks a lot buddy really happy you see the value in these principle it’s insane how much studying they take to discover
Amazing advice!!!!!
Great teacher. If only this vid had been out 20 years ago.
Great concepts, you moves are so efficient and fluid.
Really appreciate I try to always make it efficient!
this is fantastic, I would love more concepts plz, thanks Jon!
Absolutely will be doing another one soon!
Yeah, it was something I been trying to push so I sent this to a lot of my students it is so important to keep space and distance mean whether you’re walking your shoulders or you’re moving your hips are you’re pushing off things super good
Mani components profe Iam here listening!
Good Video, Thank you. Those are some great ideas to think about!
No problem happy you liked this former of video!!
Love the very last statement about self defense.
Been watching as much as I can, can’t wait to see you tomorrow at breakthrough in Amherst, we’re all very excited to have your expertise come this way!
I’m excited to be there too!!
Incredibly helpful lesson, thank you for sharing!
No problem happy you enjoyed it!
Awesome explanations. So thorough.
Thanks a lot!!
Really great concepts Jon! You're a strong communicator and express your thoughts and ideas effectively.
Yes!
This is the kind of video I like to see. Conceptual based stuff gives you the tools to understand why certain positions work. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Absolutely when you deeply understand a lot of this stuff you can really self solve a lot of your own situation you get in
great content thank you!
so good information. so good at teaching
Very helpful, would like to see more 🤙
Great stuff. Thanks mate 💪🏻
One of the most informative bjj and best conceptual video ive ever seen
Really appreciate it! I spent a ton of time thinking about these principles and organizing it in a way that makes sense!
Rarely do we get taught the why everyone only teaches the here's how..
This channel will skyrocket teaching the why :)
I’ve always had issues with taking the drills/techniques we practice and using them in actual sparring. These conceptual videos are great! Can’t wait to watch more
Indeed
❤🎉 This is quality stuff!
Excellent break-down.
Thank you so much!
Great stuff👍🏽👍🏽
Definitely enjoyed the concept as it pertains to an issue and positions I've been getting stuck in. This shined a light right on some of the root causes.
Yeah these principles really made such a huge difference in my guard over last couple years.
Great video, thank you. Lovely mane too
What a great, informative video. The conceptual / principal approach to teaching is really effective. I’d love to see a similar approach to other positions and situations.
I will do a passing one like this sometime soon as well!
Thanks Jon!
Thanks man! I just started BJJ couple of months ago and your videos have been really helpful to understand basic things and all :) Greets from Finland
Thanks so much buddy! Hoping to visit Finland in near future!!
More! More! As a white belt... learning these conceptual things is great. Keep Going!
I will definitely be doing more like it soon, although this principle is so profound it’s hard to really top it
concept videos rock. Thanks Jon!
I think so too! Happy you enjoyed it!
@@JonThomasBJJ seriously! I’ve only been watching the videos for a couple weeks and even my professor has noticed a difference. I’m almost at blue belt and feel that these videos are what will help me get over that hump! Along with showing up and getting choked haha
Thank you professor. This was great. No technique to memorize. As a new purple belt, I am trying to use concepts to improve my jujitsu.
Excellent video! More conceptual type videos please !
Learnt so much on this video. I love your content. Very straight on, on the spot and direct to the point.
Thank you professor. Do you have an instructional?
Excellent
Oh my god every time I watch one of these types of conceptual overview videos of yours I get a lightbulb moment, crazy stuff
Happy to keep providing the lightbulb moments!!
So good!
Awesome.
very useful, thank you
No problem happy to help!
As a blue belt this opens my eyes. Amazing stuff. Can’t wait to put this to work
Hope it helps you on your journey buddy!
Really love the videos man, would 100% appreciate more theory and principle videos. I find at the schools I've been to its mainly just moves taught. Or offensive moves. And that's a theme at most schools. Rarely do I get philosophy, principles or defensive so love when I can get videos like that on those topics. Love the channel man keep it up!
Totally!
Hey man me too! Who would you say you have found who do teach principles/concepts over individual moves? Right now i'm listening to BJJ |Globetrotters stuff.
This is great.
Kron Gracie is a great example. Ive watched his matches in the past and noticed that he had a great guard but couldn't really put my finger on what made it so special as he wasn't really doing anything flashy or what I would normally perceive as technical. Also, I really like how you showed the sort of, hip switching, walk backwards from guard. That's interesting.
Yeah Kron was always effective with basically no modern guards and in my opinion this principle is specifically the reason why!
Great vid/ comment
Really good insight here. I am definitely too grip focused when trying to reguard or establish guard from a neutral starting position. Im really going to try and be conscious of your advice of just maintaining distance and keeping aligned, and from there I can take whatever grip becomes readily available. Too often I am chasing double sleeve or what have you and the next thing I know I lose the angle and am being passed
Distance over position will change your game! Happy to have helped buddy!
You're at my gym, Jon! This is funny as maintaining guard is my big goal for my training over the next little while.
Yeah you can never go wrong working on the foundation of rock solid open guard defense!
Principles and concepts can always be applied to any situation even if you don’t really know the specific situation you are in.. they are like a guiding compass.. distance, alignment, use available grips, knee elbow connection, realignment, distance… any one who can keep playing this game will become un tappable…
Awesome coaching 👊💥💯
Thanks a lot buddy!
You are excellent
Love this
Thanks!
Damn what a good video!
Thanks a lot, John! That’s what I need to improve my game.
No problem some of these core big ideas can completely change your game!
Oh is this Doc Petrenko? Hope you are doing well buddy! Hope I can come visit and see you guys soon! Has an amazing time in Kharkiv with you guys and really enjoyed the conversations.
That’s me) Stas told me about your visit. Can’t wait when you come.
Thank you :)
No problem
