It this video from my latest class at fighter center in Gothenburg Sweden. We went over classic and powerful triangle setup from closed guard. This setup is used often by Nicholas Meregali and his coach Mario Reis with a high success rate. If you like the content please like, share, and subscribe.

We learnt this at my academy last week. Been a really good one to work on over and over

[@JonThomasBJJ]

It’s such a good technique.

Very good, I have my closed guard put aside to learn better the more modern stuff but this triangle set up looks great.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah closed guard is extremely powerful when you can set it up, also when you have a good open guard you can afford to be really aggressive with it.

Great stuff as always!

@JonThomasBjj hi professor John would you be able to do a breakdown of bjj bet micael galvao vs portio? Micael played a beautiful closed guard as usual

Hey Jon - at 4:48 have you thought of going to the Williams guard style armbar of your opponent's left arm?

[@theticoboy]

Hi John, the over hook from closed guard. essentially feed into the Sao Paolo pass? Could you please do a video on how to defend it? I have a hard time dealing with that pass. Thanks!!

What a great coach. Curious, is your gym in California? if yes, then what city? If I’m close, I would love to sign up. It’s hard to find a good coach.
