I really appreciate how humble Jordan is. He has a black belt in conversation. He is just taking the information in. Thank you for posting. I really enjoyed this. At 22:25 Pritt is talking about Gary and Kron and about levels of defence and Jordan responds “Exactly!”. It was great!
Hey thank you! I appreciate that. I'm really glad this turned out so well. Someone said I was socially awkward in the comments lmao. I prefer this take hahaha.
I am 44 years old and just started the Journey …. Thanks to this system I won competition 2 in white belt As per my pears my jujitsu got exponentially better And recommend to test for my blue belt after 100 days Is also interesting how many times I still need to watch the camps and videos like this and how many more things I get of of them ,, Thank you so much to both and your team
I'm fairly new to BJJ and I genuinely feel like my mindset catered to this kind of style, but it's not the most readily available (or popular) form of BJJ. Super glad you bought him on your channel, this dude has opened my eyes and solidified my mindset as far as something I could further explore, something that's WORTH exploring deeper (despite being advised against directly, from higher belts.)
Thanks for sharing! Ya, Priit is awesome and his system makes great sense, especially for those at the beginning of their BJJ journey. Glad that his stuff has been helpful! 🙂
Awesome conversation ❤ I've been doing Priit's stuff for a few years now and it's crazy what it has done to my game. It's like going to the arcade with a pocket full of coins...
I'm been a huge fan of Pritt's since the start of BJJ Globe Trotters. It is really awesome to see that you have taken the time to learn and show the Jiu jitsu community what Pritt teaches. I hope everyone watching will rethink how they train and improve from it =o)
Looking at other comments, I think it is important to say, Jordan has a lot of Priit fans and for good reason. Jordan teaches many of the same principles , but more from the offensive position. Thank you for the awesome content Jordan!
This Is an INCREDIBLE gift putting a whole hour on here for free. Thank you for putting this information up here for us. Competing this Saturday having something like this to take notes on is truly special. Thanks again from Connecticut !
That discussion starting at around 10:40 to 13:38 about ending up in open guard top, realistic endings, optimal positions, long combinations and "starting with jiu-jitsu, end with wrestling" is really helpful. I think less white and blue belt would quit if they could really internalize and integrate this. It's why it's difficult to pull off the technique of the day when we go from learning and drilling it to live rolls with resistance at the end of class.
Really great sit down and chat between the two of you. Always enjoy learning about defensive positions and how to use them smartly. Thank you for the content!
Just wanted to say absolutely love the channel and the content. As someone who’s currently a white belt I’ve really found your channel SUPER helpful to help me constantly re-think my game and make those adjustments that I need to improve. Found this video really helpful 🤝🤙🏽
This was excellent. So timely for me because I just started Jiu Jitsu and was wondering why Jiu Jitsu's focus is much more on offensive techniques and very little on defensive techniques. Thank you for the amazing work you do. It's helping me a lot mentally, strategically, and physically on the mat. 🙏🏼
Outstanding, Jordan. Thank you very, very much. I really admire Priit and what he is trying to do for the sport. You could have and roll with Chris Paines (one of Priit's students - and more than that) as well. He seems to be a real cool guy, and pretty knowledgeable. Thanks a bunch!
I watched his “Want to get better at jiu jitsu” video two years ago and it really blew me away. He’s definitely one of the most creative minds in the sport and he’s put hundreds of hours of drilling and research into each of these positions. It’s difficult to learn because it goes against everything you have been taught but the time investment is worth it. I have gotten so much harder to tap since employing his principles and I am still a novice at them.
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu I think it worked well. I enjoyed your health skepticsim (Well what about this) while also pointing out the bits you felt worked with your own experence.
Watched this last night, then class today was turned into a huge rolling session. I did this with everyone & I did fenomenal! This was an amazing video to watch. Truly changed my defense immediately. I gotta practice this more. Thank you!
I've been trying his defensive BJJ for a well and it's become a big part of my overall game . It's really fun and cool to just study what works and what doesn't. Oss 🤙🏿
he didn't seem to be defensive at all, he seemed really agreeable. but seriously folks....great discussion. I really liked the long format discussion/demonstration. It felt like a podcast on the mats. it is a refreshing viewpoint with demonstrations that were realistic. I love that you felt comfortable enough to challenge the concepts instead of just nodding in agreement.
But how can you go for an attack if you're worried about ending up in bottom side control if you fail? Defensive is the foundation and gives you the confidence to go for the finish! You need to go from a defensive cycle directly into an offensive one. Rather than just staving off attack after attack
Weird, mine went through the roof. I have confifence i can recover and stay safe. Also by understanding defence and how its constructed, iv been able to DE-construct defence (i.e offence)
I have been doing turtle for a long time (my coach calls me Edwardo). I found Priit's defensive jiu-jitsu about 1.5 years ago. It brought my defense to the next level. Everyone comments on my turtle and back defense. And in case it wasn't clear the comments are about how hard I am to attack. :)
Been following Priit's stuff on youtube for a while now. Idk if any of his students have ever competed in an EBI tournament. that's would be the best format out there to shine through defense
Priit's concepts are spot on and have changed my game. Is there any chance you can get Chris Paines in to build on from this as I like his application of Pritt's concepts. Also loved the rolling footage it was really cool to see these concepts in action.
Thank you so much for posting this, it's so interesting to see a high level discussion as opposed to an instructional. I tried a baby bridge today and it's a fascinating structure!
I love this video and conversations you two doing.. I have been studying Priit stuff for over a year. Its very fun system. People have to know its a system you got to keep moving not just stay in one position. You gotta keep moving and look for the opening. I have had people say they are tired on being on top trying to keep me pin and in one place. They will eventually mess up in the moving trenches and you can capitalize
IMO, Priit's ideas are underappreciated by a lot of elites, but his philosophy is ideal for what jiu jitsu is often said to be -- good, even annoying, defense is perfect for the smaller and weaker to confound the bigger and stronger. Done well, it leads to turnabout, and victory for the little guy (or older, handicapped, etc).
I started watching Priits system 6 months ago. The progress I’ve made in the last 3 months has been incredible to observe, which may sound weird but I cannot take credit so I feel like an observer . Thank you Priit for your system. I predict you will be a significant part of jiu jitsu history for how to train new people. It is a matter of time only.
I have been working at applying Priit’s running man, turtle, panda defense for a month or so. I am still not that good at it. But his comments around the 20th minute ring true for me. Using this against guys that are better or stronger than me. It definitely makes them feel more in control so they slow down. Aren’t as intent on trying to crush me. Which gives me more time to think & feel any openings in their pressure.
I think Chris Paines does a good job of explaining the benefit of what he and Priit are doing. Shouldn't we always be challenging grips and inside position? Priit has taken this so far. And what does that expose in the end? Most peoples offense actually sucks. Thats the problem. They think they have good offense because theyve been getting underhooks the size of canyons their whole career. Another thing is, you should be fighting all of these same battles on offense as well. not allowing underhooks. not allowing head control. Fighting the wrists.
I'm actually preparing for my purple and this video is going to play a huge role in my prep. I thought defense in BJJ was heavily frown upon, but from what I listen from both of you, its an interesting option. I have to fight my instructor who only swears by the offense.
Hello Jordon, I here slot about being defensively responsible. Could you explain this in a video. Seems like something that is said but not taught very well.
Don’t stop innovating … Innovation isn’t a matter of ignoring the status quo, or ignoring a standardised set of rules; it is about breaking new ground in a way that offers better solutions and novel ideas that add value. Usually, rules are in place for a reason. It might seem like they hold us back - and perhaps over the long term, they do have the potential to do just that; the reality is the they often are bound in context and can also come with a ‘use by’ date. Holding your mums hadn’t whilst crossing the road, just makes good sense when your’e a child, incapable of fully understand consequence. Still holding you mums hand whilst crossing the road when you’re an adult, can hold you back. Shallow end of the pool; deep end of the pool; ocean … you get the idea. I recall a time in Brazil, back in the late 80’s, I was at a competition in Teresopolis, with my fellow team-mates; I was a white belt at the time. I saw a match between two brown belts (I think they were Soca and Royler) and every time one found their guard being passed, they turned away and exposed their back (they transitioned to turtle) - and then seamlessly attacked or reversed the fight from that position. I remembered being very confused - yet impressed by how well it worked. I pointed this out to Renzo, who was sitting with me, and he suggested that it was not something I was ready to do. I needed to wait until purple belt before learning such strategies. I clearly recall being both frustrated and skeptical at hearing that. Still … he was of course, perfectly correct. I still needed to take a firm grasp on my mothers hand - before strolling across that particular road. We learn the ‘rules’ (doctrine) throughly - build understanding and technical proficiency - and then, we can begin bending (if not breaking) the rules. I look at what Priit is doing - and I am reminded of those early days. I admire innovation - but I also appreciate the guard-rails provided by fundamental strategies.
Combinations help with mixup options. You may not do a 6 piece combination but if you do the 6 enough it will break into 2-3 and you'll see the combinations at random times when you train/compete.
Im a big fan of priits stuff. Interestingly, having a solid defence to fall back on has massively improved my offence as I dont worry as much about being put in bad positions so I attack more often.

I started this week and already feel something is cooking!!! Very interesting!!!!
As someone who studied sports science I loved it when Priit talked about the constraint led approach and the importance of deliberate practice.
I love seeing all aspects of this game! As a new blue belt I appreciate any way to frustrate my opponents! This was great Jordan.
Glad you enjoyed!
Great info and you had me when you started with the turtle discussion… my professor is Eduardo Telles and when he does his turtle, it’s flawless.
