วีดีโอ

Thank you 🙏

If possible, I prefer to keep my chin and shoulders tucked. Defend my neck with shoulders, keep my elbows to my hips and use my hands to gripfight or fight the hooks. The moment I need my hands to defend my neck... not good 😊

Thanks a lot! I use ATG (knees over toes). It has many programs. Really amazing system / app. I can't really make a video about, as I would just be repeating their information.

You come to us for the experience. Everyone started as a beginner. Trust me, you won't be the only one on our mat. Always welcome!

@@WimDeputterBJJ yeah but I live not so close to Leuven and Il 14 so idk which training to join and i dont have the clothes for it

Cool 😊

Definately the most accesible guard. But know this... I don't play half guard because I want to, but because I have to 😊

🤜🤛😊🙏

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

A lot of pressure on the hips and diaphragm

Thanks Vijay and my pleasure 🙏

For control it is definitely better. But it is difficult to the subjects. Points are often not really logical. Why no points for body triangle for example?

True. And in terms of hip control one inside hook and the other outside (under the knee) is much tighter control as well than 2 hooks inside. If I cannot lock body triangle after I get my points, I usually go for that as second best option. I agree, points system is weird, but all we could do at this point is use it to our advantage as much as possible.

😄😄 thanks man!

I just remenber watching a séminaire you did . Game changer for me. Give me confidence on my game .

Awesome to hear! Where was this seminar and when? 😊

Merci 😊🙏

Posted 😊

What do you mean?

@ that takedown was not amazing

Ok

🙏🙏🙏 thanks man!

Thanks a lot 😊🙏

Thanks man! Who is your coach?

🙏🙏🙏

He got injured unfortunately, torn acl. It was bad. I wasn't going for any lock yet.😢 What happened was the following. I set up the sweep from the lockdown almost fully. When you fully come up however, you end up in their guard. When I have the sweep, I go back and sweep the opposite (far) side, when they come up, you can unentangle and pass right away for 3 points. This happened exactly in the next match. Watch the sequence at 33:20. I get my 2 sweep points at 33:31. At 33:33 I go back down ("sweep him to my right side"). Opponent reacts by coming up. I unentangle and go straight to side control and get passing points (because technically I was in his guard on top when I got the two points.) The opponent at 30:00 however, turned away the wrong side and popped his knee. It was very weird, as I didn't feel a lot of pressure myself. I honestly think his knee was injured or at least unstable from before this match. I would never to this as an attempts to submit willingly in a local tournament.

Thanks a lot man! I am happy to hear you got something out of it. The opponent with the lockdown got badly injured unfortunately. Torn acl. We have been in touch. I have describe in another comment what exactly happened. It was very unfortunate and never my goal.

🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much Igor 🙏 I really appreciate your words and I'm glad it inspires you. Confidence in escapes and late game are the key to good jiu jitsu I believe if you are not a super athlete.

🙏🙏🙏😊

Indeed 😊

Hey Paul, thank you! All the darce attempts of Jack, where very tight and dangerous. If I would have extended myself at any point, there is a small chance I would have gotten out, but I would have put myself in a long defensive cycle at the very least. Very likely he would have been able to keep attached and make his darce even tighter, forcing me to tap. What saved me each time, was making myself even smaller, more concave shoulders / shoulder protraction and inverting. This was a development of the last two weeks before the match. Without that development, there is a high chance Jack would have tapped me. The tightest darce, was when I was on top. It was a very tight crank. Again, concave shoulders and protraction saved me. Jack could have held on longer I think, but I would not have tapped. I was 5 points ahead at that moment, he kinda was forced to try something else or double down on the darce. I haven't done any seminars in the UK for a while now. The last one was in 2016 at Renegade BJJ in Manchester I think. I am always willing to come if you want to set something up. UK is just a 2h train ride away 😊

@WimDeputterBJJ thanks for the insight. Your defence must be rock tight! I know how tough and skilful Jack is, so it was a very impressive displace of Jujitsu on your level. I've noticed your half guard is on offer on bjj fanatics, I'll pick it up and study it in depth. One last thing, in your opinion, which should I commit to more, gi or no-gi? Thanks

@paulrourke7442 Thanks a lot! My half guard instructional is really the best of the bunch I think 😊 If you ever need any help, just reach out. I do both about 50/50. That would be my advice. Sometimes the one attracts me more than the other, depending on what I am training. No Gi feels easier on the body lately. Defense is a lot easier I find. It doesn't really matter I think. Train what you enjoy most. Whatever keeps you on the mat.

Thank you Marco 🙏

Thank you Joachim 🙏🙏🙏
