Not only is this video great for showing different ways to pass a half guard, but it's also great for half guard players to learn the most common & efficiently used methods people will try to pass the half guard. Thus helping us half guard players to stay one step ahead.
Wow. This is one of the juiciest, most informative and yet compact instructionals I have seen on HG. So many key positions in 7 minutes. This channel is pure gold. The only negative point is that I haven't discovered it sooner. Thank you Jordan.
The way you show the details and comment them makes It so much more immersable and also helps realizing what could I do differently on the mat. The rolling back attack is the shiniest and awesome example which I love. I started being a fan long before that, but now I have to speak out. Thank you and your wife - she's a true bless to all of us, actually!
This whole playlist of fundamentals and concepts is an absolutely wonderful study. After watching the half guard bottom video where you said the major ideas were "fighting for grips, stay on your side, don't let them get grab your head, don't let them get an underhook" I got to see the reverse in this video and how a half guard top player would use those things against the bottom player. I'm watching each of these videos multiple times. As a videographer I also appreciate the huge amount of work you put into them. Finding this channel has me feeling like a kid on Christmas morning haha
As a beginner I love all your videos . How you break everything down . The attention to detail really helps. I can’t wait for more and thank you so much .
This quickly became my favorite BJJ channel- y’all exemplify purposeful training & partner care. Really appreciate the easy to draw on maxims and overall vibe! 👊
Just started training jiujitsu 3 weeks ago. You both are incredible at simplifying concepts so that even beginners like me can quickly learn and improve. Because of your videos I can consistently surprise those I train with ;]]. Thank you both for putting in all the effort to create content that truly helps the jiujitsu community
Very kind of you Jordan! We really appreciate the positive feed back, as much as you appreciate the content I'm sure 🙏😊 Makes me very happy to hear we're helping you improve! BJJ is just the best, and I'm glad you started training. Great name btw! 💪💪
My buddy just started jiujitsu this Monday and I'm going to show him these videos. The rolling plus you explaining what is happening AND WHY is so much better for me than watching a youtube tutorial that is boring and dry and just goes step by step starting from the position. I always felt like OK that's cool, but how the HELL do I get them to this position?!? You and your wife show the whole movement getting to the position and then executing the technique and I really appreciate it. The music is really nice as well.
This video is absolutely incredible. It is packed with so many good tips and the level of teaching is unlike anything I’ve seen. The Slow mo helps so much. I’m a white belt who’s inspired enough to want to come train with you at your gym. I’ve watched this about a dozen times and will probably watch a dozen more today alone. Thank you Jordan!
I love that your videos are so well edited. Most instructional videos are taught like a class. Your videos show so many variations in gi and no-gi. Well done. This video has helped me greatly.
I’m currently in Japan taking BJJ lessons and the language barrier is tough. I watch your videos to help bridge the gap. Thank you from a new white belt. 🙏🏽
Your videos are the best! Amazing details and concepts. I learned some of these techniques a while back but the way you break them down makes it very understandable and it’s easy to pick up key details that I may have been missing or get lazy at from time to time that can really make or break an effective technique. Also there were some new ones I haven’t even seen or knew that was a possible connection like the rolling back take from back step or back step knee bar, so cool!! As always keep up the great work! 🤙🏽
Great content! Covered a few of these variations in my class today. Love the level of detail that you have gone into with both gi and no gi in the same video.
Thanks for the insight Jordan, I've been struggling with getting out of half guard during drills, and this is really helping me. I've probably watched this video at least 5 times. Keep up the great work!
Awesome as usual. I’d LOVE to see this: An instructional on bottom escapes followed by a rolling session where you start in those positions and demonstrate live how the techniques work. Plenty of people show how to escape those positions, but almost nobody has videos of them actually using the escapes. Pretty please 😚
I am getting to the point where I will look something up on youtube, and if Jordan doesnt have a video on it...i'll just wait patiently. Thank you is all I can say. Your videos are an absolute gold mine. 🙏🙏🙏
Theo details you add are wonderful. A detail I learned in a private lesson was putting your middle finger into the opposite armpit, pulling them in tight and important of their back being on the matte. To see video add little things like that is so cool. Ty for the vids.
Whenever am stuck into something I run to you guys first and I know it will find the right answer, there is many coaches out there , but you guys are different and also the video quality is outstanding especially the cameraman and voice ❤❤
Wow. A year later and now a blue belt I wanted to revisit this video (and a few others) but I love how I'm seeing details here like they never existed before. I watched this video multiple times when it came out but after 100s of rolls in between its like a whole new experience! I love this about JJ how you can keep peeling away more layers🤙
I have shown this video to a lot of people from our gym. They all have liked the content so far. Please keep it up. If you are in SLC Utah, come to Unified BJJ. Best wishes.
Hey bro, I'm telling you, your detailed way to explain and this high quality video in slow mo are unbelievable. I'm a John danaher fan and I've got a bunch of his tutorial. I'm looking forward for one of yours. Great content
I watched and re watched a lot of times to see , great techniques and great explanation, its good to know why you doing this instead of that and etc , good job man
Half guard with the knee shield is something I need to learn to deal with in No gi. Would love some more minutes on that, but I'll keep watching what you put in this video. Love your work guys. Joel
wow, that was amazing. please do more comprehensive videos like this. great speed, very thorough. Would love a slower breakdown though of that slick back take.
I will for sure! Glad you like the video so much man. I'm going to do a rolling back attack video in the same format as this one. It'll be super in-depth. Hopefully will start working on it soon. I've got a lot of ideas and it's hard choosing which ones to work on first lol
Dude, your videos are awesome. It's really giving me bite size chunks that I'm using to close the holes in my game. Thank you for making the content you do.
As a fresh white belt, I got absolutely stumped yesterday with that... I'm glad to see I had the right ideas but was missing some key details to make it work! Thanks, Jordan! Hopefully, I'll be able to get a few passes now!
Your video was a great help, i was stuck in my partners halfguard and i was consuming way too much energy to get out of there, now i pretty much welcome all of them and work my way out much more easily. Thanks a lot for your videos and please keep up the good work!
So let's put a smile on that faces:). Really, really great content on this channel, can't wait for next vid. Superb idea to show techniques for gi and no-gi. Thanks for sharing Jordan and bless you both.
I found your instructional on BJJ Fanatics, but where are all the others?! This is some of the best content and its shot in 4k which makes .25 speed look amazing. Thanks bro, you nailed it again!
I came to check this video, I ended up subscribe and watched all videos in the channel . Great great format!! short and sweet. I will love to see Crucifix and Back takes ...thanks a lot to share the knowledge !! keep it up!!
I appreciate it!! Thank you so much 🙏 Back takes and crucifix are my favorite! Will definitely do a video on them in the future. Love your display picture by the way!
All is inside, thaks for the video, it's an opening mind and open opportunities. A lot of time, I'm in the open guard and I usually do the same move. I will try the back take wich is marvelous. Thanks again
Loved this, especially since it wad something recently gone over in class. This is great review, especially with that back take roll I didn’t understand the first several times my instructor showed me
Loving the content, presentation and quality, All concepts I have been playing with but this definitely helps make it click a bit better ( for my brain ) than other videos due to the format. Subscribed!
I couldn’t for the life of me remember any half guard passes today and kept spamming the arm weave pass. Thanks for all the videos you do! They always seem to be ready and waiting when I’m struggling with something 🙏🏻
I like the way you take the back, but I’m not really good with anything fancy, but I do go for side control all the time. I’ve been stretching before an after class, and at home. But I’m still not super flexible, but that’s why I like Jiujitsu so much. If you can’t do it one way, here’s five other ways to do it. Thanks for another great video.
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu I really appreciate your work man. It’s mind opening. Your moves is just clear and precise. One of the best videos one can watch and learn and I am Brazilian 😆 I already subscribed.
Man sooo many goodies in this video!😊😊 I think im goin to start putting myself in my partner's half guard when they have a really annoying open guard especially nogi. Its so much easier to pass half vs DLR, Reverse DLR, Inverted stuff, etc, etc, ETC (WILLY WONKA VOICE)
Check out my BJJ Theory Course: courses.jordanteachesjiujitsu.com/courses/jiu-jitsu-theory-course
I love that you show both gi and no-gi variations, thanks Jordan!
Thanks man and thanks for watching!
I was thinking the same thing, it’s awesome to see what works for both !
Not only is this video great for showing different ways to pass a half guard, but it's also great for half guard players to learn the most common & efficiently used methods people will try to pass the half guard. Thus helping us half guard players to stay one step ahead.
Definitely!! Can't give up head control or underhook. As a half guard player myself, realizing that has helped me so much!
Wow. This is one of the juiciest, most informative and yet compact instructionals I have seen on HG. So many key positions in 7 minutes. This channel is pure gold. The only negative point is that I haven't discovered it sooner. Thank you Jordan.
Thank you so much man 🙏 Glad you found the channel 🙂

Thanks man! Should be a new one up today or tomorrow. Takes forever to make them so I really appreciate the appreciation 🙂
I'm really loving this channel. I'd love see a breakdown of headquarters position and/or a way to set up passes against open guards. Thank you.
Thanks man and that's a great idea. I appreciate the suggestion! Will have to start planning that one soon.
Such great HQ teaching. Showing multiple ways to do something and showing the weaknesses of each technique. Simply amazing
Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words 🙏
This quickly became my favorite BJJ channel- y’all exemplify purposeful training & partner care. Really appreciate the easy to draw on maxims and overall vibe! 👊

Really glad you found it helpful :)
I love how there are expensive fancy instructionals and then there is a simple video like this and overpowers everything. Amazing!
Thanks man! 🙏👊
Middle aged guy two months in and loving it. Your videos are a huge help to learn basics and the subtleties that make techniques successful.
Thank you! 🙏
That back take from half guard is so clean! Could watch it a million times and still be at awe
Thanks man! I'm going to do an indepth rolling back attack video very soon. Probably after the video I post Sunday!
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu oooh can't wait 😁🤙

This might be the best BJJ channel on TH-cam
Great content! Covered a few of these variations in my class today. Love the level of detail that you have gone into with both gi and no gi in the same video.
Must be a great school then! I appreciate the kind words man. Definitely a lot of work film and edit both but worth it :)
This is an amazing instructional. I use a lot of these passes but you gave me new details and variations to make it sharper. Thank you!!!
My pleasure! Glad you found it useful 🙂
Thanks for the insight Jordan, I've been struggling with getting out of half guard during drills, and this is really helping me. I've probably watched this video at least 5 times. Keep up the great work!
Happy to help! I'll be making an updated one really soon. This one is decent but I know i can provide even more insight :)
The more I watch your videos, the more details and concepts I'm picking up. Excellent video again Jordan
Glad you like them!
Awesome as usual.

oooo that one sounds super good!! I think I will do that!
So helpful. I've been struggling to work out of peoples half guards after I escape their full guard. Keep it up!
Glad it helps!
So happy you brought up the lockdown. I was clueless at tonight's sparring. Can't wait to try it. You're the man Jordan 🤙
Thanks man 🙏
I am getting to the point where I will look something up on youtube, and if Jordan doesnt have a video on it...i'll just wait patiently. Thank you is all I can say. Your videos are an absolute gold mine. 🙏🙏🙏
I do a lot of these things already but learned some crucial details. Great work, thanks. Loving the channel.
Music to my ears to hear you got some solid details outta the video! I appreciate you watching and commenting. Glad you enjoy the channel!! 😁
Theo details you add are wonderful. A detail I learned in a private lesson was putting your middle finger into the opposite armpit, pulling them in tight and important of their back being on the matte. To see video add little things like that is so cool. Ty for the vids.

Really great video guys! I've struggled sometimes in this position, so now i'll be thinking - crossface or underhook everytime! Cheers
Awesome nick! Same thing I think to myself when passing half guard 🙂
Brilliant video! Thank you so much for sharing!!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching ☺️
Great video. Smooth and we'll put together. Many thanks 👍
Thanks!
