The Most Effective Sweep in Jiu Jitsu

- This video I overview the sit up guard system. In my opinion the sit up guard is by far the most effective sweeping system in jiu jitsu. It works against people of all sizes, it is extremely easy to set up, and if it doesn't give the sweep it will often give a back take. I also include a lot of sparring narration in this video. Let me know if you are enjoying this format of video.

Love this format! Showing the technique first helps me look for/understand those details during the sparring footage
Happy to hear it! I added chapters too so I think that helps!
@@JonThomasBJJ it does!
Agreed, love seeing the techniques drilled slowly and then applied in a live roll. Thank you professor.
This structure is amazing! Your content is continually the best I find on YT. Exactly as you said, context of sparring and comp makes all the difference, thanks Jon!
Jon, love these sequences. Your videos have been making such a difference in my game development.
Happy to hear it buddy! I’m enjoying this style of content a lot so look for more soon!
Great format to review the context of the training up front and the live after. Love your videos!
Let's keep this format going. It's concept-->practice-->full application, which is what every educator models these days. Great video!
Thanks a lot buddy I’ll do what I can to keep it and make tweaks to improve
I love this format! It's similar to a class where the technique is demonstrated then we get to watch at full speed. Thank you!
Really Fluid and smooth the way you connect all the techniques. on the spot. it's so rich that I have to watch it several times. Beautiful. Tack så mycket 😊
Love it! I really like the sparring content to show how it all works in live situations.
Love the technique context + mat video format, very easy to follow along 👌
You might be the best intructor on TH-cam, keep it coming and thank you.
Always love the way you break things down. Thanks Jon!
Thanks so much buddy!!
this is great. It's nice to see the technique demonstrated, and then used in real sparring. Very helpful.
Yup I think that’s the best way to learn quickly!
Great stuff going to try this today! Love the sparring footage. Shows different ways to hit it especially what happens when rolling.
Format is perfect. Love this video.
Thanks a lot buddy happy to hear it!
The format was absolutely perfect.
Thanks buddy I’m going to be putting out a ton of these!
Your content is always my favorite. Keep up the great work! 🔥
Thanks a lot buddy! Will do!
I find so Rich of content this format of analyzing a position, not only by yourself but With competition footage.
Breaking down comp footage has been so foundational in my career. I’m excited to start bringing that to the videos
This format was amazing.
Thanks a lot buddy! Expect more soon!
Your channel is awesome. A few key details to build on for me. Great stuff!
nice video love the format
Love this format
Happy to hear it! Will be doing more soon!
fantastic format!
Appreciate it!
The format is very efficient and effective. I love it
Thanks a lot buddy! Will definitely bring doing more soon!
Patiently waiting for a full sit-up gaurd instructional! Great video!
Hey buddy I’ll be releasing a full dlr instructional soon and will certainly have a lot of sit up guard with in it!
Fantastic series! Also works very well into a sweep single series standing up
Instruction + high level competition footage A+
Exactly what I’m going for, I have so many new ideas to evolve on this too! Excited to show it
Loved the format! Great video 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks a lot I’m going to evolve on it and make it even better!
Coach, it cannot be more perfect then this, you show the technique and then you apply it in action, so the format is perfect, thank you for the amazing content you are sharing.
Thanks Ahmed! Hope all is well for you! I will definitely keep up with this format and Keep. Finding ways of improving on it!
@@JonThomasBJJ Most welcome.
Am allright thank you for asking, hope u are well too.
Keep it up and good luck.
You earned another gold star
Yes, really enjoy this format! Seeing in application is paramount, also think an expanded instructional around sit up would be excellent.
Thanks buddy happy you are enjoying it I will definitely include it in my next dlr instructional!
super dope! This is one of my favorite positions.
Yeah it’s such a fun one! Gonna do more videos like this soon!
love this format
Thanks a lot have been enjoying making them
This is great. Hey just got my blue belt and had the Vaghi style test! Thanks for these videos.
Man those are brutal! I did mine back in 2005! Miss those days!
Thank you again so much for this stuff!
No problem really happy to help!
It would be great to have another video to know how to pass the sit up, please. Thanks!
Great technical explanations👍
Thanks a lot!
I dont do a ton of gi training, but the little details I learn from your videos help my game immensely. Some even translates into my no gi stuff which is a welcome surprise since your style seems to utilize grips a ton as a way to establish dominant positioning and to keep your opponents offense on pause while you build your attacks. Love it
Thanks a lot buddy! I’m gonna start working a lot more no gi soon as well. Just rehabbing my back in meantime so I can come back.
@@JonThomasBJJ can't wait bud, heal up fully or it'll come back even easier and possibly worse... I know your no gi material will be just as detail oriented!
Amazing video! This is 10/10
Thanks a lot! Excited to do more of them!
Thx Jon always good stuff
Thanks a lot buddy!!
Awesome video, thank you
Thanks a lot buddy!
Awesome stuff!
Thanks buddy!
Keep doing these!
I will for sure! I have tons of ideas for them!
I trained at that gym when I was visiting Halifax! Such a nice place to train! 👍
Great place!! Going to be my first association gym!
Thanks, I'll definitely apply it on my rolls this weekends.
Happy to hear it, hope it helps buddy!
Great video!
Thanks buddy!
I like the video‘s better with the technique showing upfront. Great commentary.
Ok great I’ll definitely keep that format, and play with more ways of improving on it
Lol! I actually really needed to see this!! Oss 🤙🏿
Happy to hear it! Hope it helps!
Very cool format! even though i´m brazillian, i could understand a lot!
Love it!
Thanks buddy!
Love the format! Time to start drilling the situpguard…
It’s a super fun one for sure!!
I'd say you missed covering seated guard shin to shin sweeps which are butter and everyone falls for them. You have entries into ashi from there as well. Besides thst this was great my friend. Keep it up! Sub and like 💪
I love this!
Happy to hear it!
🤝 gold like always
Thanks a lot buddy!!
what a nice timing.
I started BJJ last week.
Happy to hear it, check out some of my retention stuff it should help a lot!
One thing I noticed in sparring, if you lose the sleeve grip, you are fine as long as you have the leg because he WILL reach for you, and thats your chance to recapture the sleeve. Win that grip battle and you win the position and its not hard he will 99% go for the leg, 1% go for the collar. Then you have sleave again and can feed it over and finish.
Great video! My coach keeps telling me to play more sit-up guard. This helps!!
Yeah it’s one of the most powerful positions in jiu jitsu for sure!
Great stuff. I would love a video on common responses to lasso
Hey buddy I can definitely do a video on that soon!!
Great hair Jon!!
Hahaha thanks buddy! It’s super long now!
Thank u ❤🤙🏻🇩🇿
No problem happy you are enjoying the videos!!
Great stuff! I actually do this with shin to shin. Honestly I don’t even know if I’m doing correctly or I got my techniques mixed up and have been using it wrongly.
Shin to shin is great! But it’s extra good with the single leg lapel grip if you haven’t tried that before
Dear John , could we see some more breakdowns ? Really helps to understand how to think in game! Thank you for your work and dedication 🤜🤛
Thanks buddy I will definitely be doing more soon!
Felicitarle por la labor que hacé. Aprendo mucho viendo sus vídeos. Tiene algún video de defensas de ataques como triangulo, omoplata, armlock ? Gracias 🤙
Happy to help!
Hey Jon. I know from your open guard series that I should know many different open guards, but what would you recommend if I had to learn one guard for huge opponents?
By the way, lots of these guys never want to leave their knees.
Thanks.
Hey Jon! I don’t mean to take away from you or your content but I wanted to get your opinion on Gordon Ryan’s “body lock” system to pummel over the guard, my question would be if it could be used while wearing Gi? Or is it just for no gi grappling
Also you’ve been a main source in my journey thank you for all the info you put out!!
Awesome video! Just a tip you should be able to slow it down and it still be smooth if you record in 60pfs then slow i down to 30 or 24. Won't be choppy that way :)
Hey buddy it’s actually filmed in 60 frames per second I was just slowing it down to .25 speed at times so it was choppy. I’m probably gonna film in 120 fps next time. Appreciate the tip!
@@JonThomasBJJ oh nice that is super slow. You're going to have huge file sizes with 120fps 😳
Hey my first sweep!
How about if he kneels down but the far leg is posted up?
Love this Jon! But can’t take my eyes away from your hair. Do you really style it that way?
Great format and nice supplement to your instructional videos. Would be good to get your thoughts or demo how you recommend drilling these techniques.
I can definitely do some videos on drilling and good ways to train.
@@JonThomasBJJ awesome! I’ve heard you talk a lot about the value of situational sparring, but I often find it takes me some time to iron out mechanics and feel comfortable with the different options in a series before hitting it against resistance
I love playing the sit up guard but recently I have been getting caught in a loop choke. What do you do to counter or prevent the loop choke?
If you control the far sleeve when you sit up it is much much harder for them to do it, also if you keep your head and posture up high it’s also more difficult. Hope that helps.
Not sure if you have made a video about this topic, but I have a blackbelt at my school and he always keeps me off balance in his guard which opens me up for sweeps and subs. From the moment I'm in his guard I am fighting to keep my base. I would love to see a video from your perspective on this topic and I think other people would enjoy it as well. Thanks
Hey buddy, realistically the reason you are getting knocked out of balance is so relative to the grips that he has on you, it’s very hard to say what is causing it, there is no one position that you can put your body in that will solve the issue you need to learn how to respond to the different grips. If you want you can send me a video on IG of you sparring and I can break it down for you.
Love the format, love the details on the techniques. I recall a video from Lepri w/ very similar ideas, can definitely see the lineage. At 12:16, what is going on with the scoring on Lepri's match? 2 pts for takedown to Duarte?
They made a new rules where if you come up in single leg and get taken back down it’s 2 point for other guy, but they called it back in this case because he wasn’t standing long enough.
👍🏼
Well explained thanks! Would love to see some short guy vs tall guys move. Tall guys use the DLR and triangles to their advantage... :(
Honestly I don’t think the height plays much role at all in what position I play, it’s just the body positioning. I just rolled with a guy who was 6 foot 8 and my game played the exact same way. I would worry much more about my opponents body position than his body type.
How would you address this situation, JT: *can't grab opponent's far sleeve* 1. Opponent immediately grabs foot, cupping the heel (the one that is pushing opponent's leg out) and pulls upwards and takes a big step forward, closing the distance. Opponent's front quad is pressed up against the back of situp-guard-player's thigh/hamstring. 2. Opponent simultaneously knee cut's, outwards, with leg that is being DLR'd, and staples situp-guard-player's thigh down. 3. opponent's arms are now fighting for double underhooks, or one underhook and one head control, and clamps down. Asking b/c this is how I defend the situp guard (my fav, btw!) and would like to know how to defeat myself. Thank you and Love you and your videos, Professor JT!
Excellent question and details! So if I can’t grab the far sleeve I personally may not even go for sit up guard, I might threaten something else like bolo, since you are hiding the far sleeve it’s easier to threaten collar or belt grip for bolo. In your question I couldn’t tell if you were initiating that pass sequence once I had already sat up or when I am still down in dlr, let’s say I sat up from dlr, I put my foot really high on the hip almost under your groin somewhat at that angle it is significantly harder to pull the foot up as it is under your leg a bit rather on outside where it is easier to pull up. If you did pull it up I would immediately bail on single leg grip switch my right leg to knee shield and frame to create space and slide back then reset new grips. If you pull foot up and drive in when I still have the ankle grip then I would knee shield still but switch to the cross collar grip and try to slide back then transition to Bolo threats if that makes sense. It’s hard to explain via text sometimes. Hope that made some sense.
Thank you so much for all the awesome details! and my bad for not clarifying at what point in the hypothetical scenario as it is hard to explain in the third person. But you have answered all my concerns. Appreciate you, Professor JT!
hey jon, why do you prefer foot on hip vs the foot above the knee?
The foot on hip being higher it is much harder for your opponent to push down as they must step back further to create the space to do it, which makes it easier to come up to the single leg. It’s also easier to push them out if their knee angle is inward, where if you push on thigh and their knee is facing inward it’s hard to push their leg back.
*dumb question, but is there any way to drill this solo? key details when doing so? thank you
Hey buddy unfortunately I think this would be hard to drill solo, you could just try to visualize the move and shadow grapple I guess but it’s kind of hard to really develop without working with a partner I think.
Is there any name for this sweep?
Ryan Hall said you can replace 70-80% of open guard with just coming up on a single. Thoughts?
I think the single leg is a very powerful and easily accessible attack. I think there is many situations where you could simplify things a lot by just taking the single leg, but also against certain postures especially in gi, attacking upper body with Omoplata triangles and collar chokes is much easier, and in certain situations bolos and ankle locks are an easier choice. So maybe 70 to 80 percent is a bit high, but I do think that there is a lot of unnecessary extra sequences that could more easily be solved with a good single leg guard.
your school is in NC? I'm in FL, I'm a crappy purple belt that needs a ton of cardio help lol hope to train some day that'd be dope.
Hey buddy I’m actually in Gothenburg Sweden. But let me know if you visit someday!
@@JonThomasBJJ oh ok well thats definitely not NC lol maybe someday for sure
Part with Josh Pressley were very interesting and it covered pretty much everything from first part of this video. But part with Lucas Lepri delved much deeper. He performed many techniques that weren't mentioned in first part of the video, so it was too difficult to follow his moves.
Yeah I threw the Lepri portion in as an after thought I didn’t cover all that in the mat portion. I will do another video in future and cover some of those sequences more in depth.
Only comment I would have is record in 60fps or even higher if possible. It will make your slow-mo breakdowns more clean and not as choppy/easier to see what is going on. I see you upload in 4k60 but something feels off when you slow down.
Absolutely I actually had to slow down to .25 in this video so I think I’m future I’m gonna film at 4k120
Sometimes to get everything I need to say in the duration of time I need to slow down a lot.
Let me just say, I love your videos, they've helped me develop my guard 'game' for a while.
I just have one question.. what the fuck are those pants? Why do you wear capris when everyone else wears gi pants that somehow.. fit them like gi pants are supposed to?
Hey buddy the pants are beyond legal, it’s normal when you play guard that they ride up your legs especially if you have skinny legs like me. I’m not sure if you play guard a lot but if you watch a video when I’m standing they are easily at regulation length, it’s just when I lay on my back that they ride up.
BJJ gi’s are like rally car wraps

What 3:02?
Oss
Thanks buddy!
Like to see this in NO GI!!
The single leg control is still super useful in no gi, but the sweep variations will be a bit different also can use it to set up heel hooks.
is it japanese or brazilian?
Brazilian
@@JonThomasBJJ а Вы слышали о Самурайском

Thanks buddy!!
Omg this sweep sometimes my opponent did this to me so fast I didn't have time to post and all my weight went into my shoulder
