Man, as a brown belt and 17 years under my belt I look at this stuff like deer into headlights. Jiu jitsu has advanced so far that some of these concepts are so complicated to me. But that is the beauty of jiu jitsu. There is so much to learn, and impossible to learn it all.
Yup it’s like everything in life evolve it be phased out. It’s the same for me if you get complacent with how you are you will be outdated in no time. What gives me enjoyment in life is always learning and evolving.
Really looking forward to watching Margot compete at black belt. Pretty sure I saw her use the near side free leg RDLWorm in one of her brown belt matches (maybe Europeans?). Cool video, great to see you work together again. MORE !
Yeah I’m excited to see her kill it in the black belt comp scene! Always fun working with Margot hoping to do more videos with her next time she visits Sweden
@@MargotCiccarelliBJJ quick question. regarding the movement when you are on your back swinging the outside leg around and turning your body perpendicular - the transition from RDLWorm to Deep DLR Hook - is there a way to practice that movement solo? perhaps by using your “lapel” hand on the mat to create a friction-based grip?
Learning Heel hooks especially the DDS and Lachlan Giles stuff really opened up my leg attack game in the Gi. I feel botinha defense is just behind the curve against what guys like Mikey are bringing to the table. The old flex my foot grit it out and hopefully peel of the legs, doesn't really cut it when you have someone strong and savey on your ankle, you need to start incorporating pummeling for inside position clearing joint lines/angles and coming up to pass or reattacking with your own submissions.
@@JonThomasBJJ Doing it in response to a botinha feels like pulling out a shotgun in a mexican standoff. Definitely some asymetry in the threat levels.
Not that it matters - I’m just curious: Any reason for not using the common term reverse de la worm for the first position? Edit: oops, sorry, she did call it that later on.
This has been so helpful to my game thank you. Competing at medium heavy and being on the lower end of the scale I have to find ways to slow down and control my opponents this has a been a great tool to my game
Hi Jon, just subscribed! I think your content is amazing. As you've mentioned, you approach passing differently for these lapel guard systems as each has their own intricacies. I've found a lack of content online (both free and paid) for strategies/systems to passing these lapel guard systems. I've seen snippets of different techniques that you've posted and from others as well, but not conceptual systems. Is it because we are still in the early stages of the meta (Berimbolo game was like this in the late 2000s)? If you do have a conceptual approach, would love to see a video on it, thanks!
Hey jon, you've spoken before about how you like to either set a shallow or deep lasso when your opponent traps your right leg in open guard. I've been finding myself in this situation heaps recently. It'd be really cool to see a video on your favorite options from there
sorry Andreas but there's no such thing as copying, information is information, Keenan has also quoted 'DDS stuff' in instructional videos so I'm sorry to shut you down but there's also nothing that is really new in Jiu jitsu per se. It's just how people express different techniques. What I am actually attempting to share here is a way to articulate ways of controlling your partner with the lapel, I'm not really here to introduce 'new' techniques. K Guard is f**king old lol, people have been playing it for years, just now more people like Lachlan and Mikey are building a systematic view for sequences to approach the end game - hope you understand my lens. Also Keenan and I are good friends XD we share stuff with each other all the time. Have a good day!
Love the details, very hard to get granular information on these advanced concepts. Cutting edge stuff

For sure Margot is always on the cutting edge studying and evolving. Can’t wait to see what she has next time she visits me in Sweden
Margot’s voice is so unique. I could listen to her all day and still have no clue what her background is.
Chinese Italian, born in England, lived in Australia for a year (fucked up my accent further lol) and now mainly between New York and Mexico City :)

@@witte2702 if you DM me on Instagram, I'll try to send you a video of a possible solo drill I have in mind :) // @thenomadicmars
She is insane, one of the best instructors on the planet.
thank you - it means a lot. Trying my best to articulate movement better for our generation (and the next) of Jiu jitsu practitioners
Let's not get carried away.
i think im in love 😍...
...with the lapel 😏
Never work on me. When someone grabs my lapel, idk I just see RED!!!
Wow! Great content! Definitely would like to buy her instrutionals or seminar videos!
this was dope!
Thanks arash
Nice variations
👍👍👍👍👍
reverse dela worm!! 🔥
it's the best
mind = blown

Yeah for sure, I love that aoki lock, it’s basically a legal heel hook in the gi.

Hey Jon can you please make a in depth overview of gurad pull counters
This has been so helpful to my game thank you. Competing at medium heavy and being on the lower end of the scale I have to find ways to slow down and control my opponents this has a been a great tool to my game
I actually clapped when she first did the armbar. I really like this set up.
love the modern lapel moves; thanks;;;;

I’ll try to give a broad overview on passing and dealing with lapel systems ASAP!

Will definitely make a video overviewing different ideas for when your leg gets trapped.
These videos are great!
Could you do a video on reverse triangle.
I find that I get the position a lot but don't know what to do from there.
I will probably bring someone in to show that as I don’t work it at all my self. But I’ll keep on the look out for it and study it a bit
@@JonThomasBJJ Thank you! 😊 I've never once had a lesson on it. It's an odd position. Probably more of transition.
Thank you both!
Thanks for watching!
Nice copy of keenan. Only K-guard kombination is almost new.
