My new favorite Jits channel! Thank you guys for putting these seminars up. Just watched Professor Carlos Machado and it was golden! Keep it up and keep em' coming!
10:08 - This ties in well with Matthew McPeake's Power Line explanation. I've been using Priit's Closed Gaurd system with good success and the Power Line metaphor helps really visualize it. As always, thank you to Priit and the BJJ Globetrotters team!
He did it to illustrate the point that "bad" moves aren't inherently bad. They're bad because they create technical errors that your opponent can exploit. But if they don't exploit the error, then you can punish them for it.
I love the scientific method and progressive resistance drills training & development in self defense and combat sports. I totally agree with you on that. Great material I appreciate your system. Thank you for your contributions.
Whenever I watch Priit I just want to become him. I just want to go explore, and play around, and find things in places we all forgot about in grappling. What an absolute scientist of jiu jitsu. Wiltse actually also teaches the high heels in closed guard. but not the head grip tho.
Priit mentions 'grilled chicken' posture as fundamental to (open) guard, and how nobody else mentions it. I think he's wrong: it looks a lot like Xande Ribeiro's 'diamond concept' - staying balled up and maintaining elbow-knee connection when playing guard or trying to get back to guard, thus not having to worry about 'which guard to play'. You can check it out on BJJ fanatics. I haven't studied either seriously yet, anybody who's familiar with both care to comment? Are they talking about the same thing?
@Kodiak Combat Collective Xande mentions it a lot ;) He's got a few long videos on it, where he basically uses the same posture and intent (always striving to connect elbow and knee, even if opponent is in the way) for different scenario's: escaping mount and side control, improving position in half and closed guard. I agree it's odd that nobody else seems to talk about it.
Former freestyle and greco here. Maybe my 51 yo helps me understand better. BJJ gets interesting when you can trap one in your close guard. Now get this. It gets even more interesting when you open it. Also, best students and best comp grapplers are dangerous the moment they open their close guard. So if you want to discover the world of grappling, open your close guard.
I was always frustrated when beginners would stack inside my closed guard. But I didn’t train to counter the stack. We don’t train the counter to the stack in our school.
Um,.....I'm a white belt and people are surprised that I'm not aggressive anymore. When the match starts,....I go down in a lazy stance protecting my arms as depicted. I then wait until the right time to then get on top of them.
I agree with most everything he states. The one thing I would counter is that the gi game has had major evolution advances and it's great that you train without using gi grips, but there are master gi players that will grab your gi and control/submit you in ways that you thought weren't possible. These gi players are teaching new students at this moment. Do we know why Gordan Ryan is not a gi champ? BTW I love Priit's philosophy. 🤙✌
He's literally brought into these seminars to specifically demonstrate defense. He's very clear (in other videos) that you eventually have to open up and extend yourself to attack but that you should do it intelligently.
In summary: good closed guard = good, bad closed guard = bad. Lots of strawmen in his arguments. Who is saying that stacking is bad? Who is teaching to have a closed guard with your legs all the way down by your opponent's butt? There's loads of interesting moves here but this guy is way more concerned with acting like a philosopher than a jiu jitsu instructor. Delusional teacher.
He has interesting ideas, I've rolled with some devotees of his system, it was weird and very easy to dismantle. It's has applications for elite grapplers, whites and blues who think they've discovered the messiah will have their dreams ruined. These are not fundamental concepts, they are tools than can be used when you already have the fundamental building blocks in place.

The baseball bat choke from inside closed guard top is hilarious and amazing

Priit is the Messiah of BJJ

great video ..for a different optic on mechanics
This is awesome, thank you Priit - I make sure I will watch and study all your videos in the future!
Fascinating teaching. Thanks for sharing.
Open minded and an awesome way to teach! Thank you 🙏

Wiltse actually also teaches the high heels in closed guard. but not the head grip tho.
great video and I like his philosophy about clapping very much, applies very much to today in general
The 9 dislikes are the guys that got cross faced without warning 😂
Love this channel
Amazing
I would like to give multiple likes if it was possible! Great Video! Thanks a lot!
Do you have Top Closed Guard seminar that you could upload? If not, you should do one and upload it!

Defensive BJJ how would you use hawking etc to defend chin grab cross face from side control please?
Former freestyle and greco here. Maybe my 51 yo helps me understand better. BJJ gets interesting when you can trap one in your close guard. Now get this. It gets even more interesting when you open it.
Also, best students and best comp grapplers are dangerous the moment they open their close guard. So if you want to discover the world of grappling, open your close guard.
Really genius stuff. I am going to surprise some people with this haha.
I was always frustrated when beginners would stack inside my closed guard. But I didn’t train to counter the stack. We don’t train the counter to the stack in our school.
30:30 cross face grips
What match? I can’t hear the name
Braulio Estima vs Andre Galvo
Um,.....I'm a white belt and people are surprised that I'm not aggressive anymore. When the match starts,....I go down in a lazy stance protecting my arms as depicted. I then wait until the right time to then get on top of them.
its good to be lazy in jiu jitsu just be smart lazy
We always teach that closed guard is the best guard. But when you add stacking to it it doesn’t seem the best. Just one option I guess.

9 dislike from Gracie
Love it! Can't stand that clapping shit.
baseball choke inside the closed guard :)
Need edited version without the soap box
Do this and this then you habe this and this and that im so brilliant theres this bad joke and that… omg…
Pritt's method is uselss, change my mind.
Someome needs to take hos ideas and explain them succinctly. All i hear is a poor sense of humor, arrogance and charlie browns teacher
with his style he don´t win fights .... only defending .... I dont like this kínd of bjj
"First learn to become invincible, then wait for your enemy's moment of vulenerability." - Sun Tzu
Defend and attack only when there is an opening. I use to force attacks, but now I take what my partner gives me. Saves my gas tank too.
Do you know the history of Gracie Jiu Jitsu?
He's literally brought into these seminars to specifically demonstrate defense. He's very clear (in other videos) that you eventually have to open up and extend yourself to attack but that you should do it intelligently.
Your attacks are nothing facing his defense.
