His videos need some more viewers. The knowledge is the old school effective basic principles of BJJ that people tend to forget nowadays as they focus more and more non the competitive game.

I learned this from Caique's son Tomas who learned it from Rickson. Started using it four years ago. It took some time for me to get used to but once I physically understood it my defense in guard jumped a level. It is simple and low energy but very effective.

Always amazing content, great teacher

Thanks Master Jean Jacques!!! Saw another video from Professor Armstrong covering this that has frustrated a few training partners already.

Thank you professor for sharing your deep knowledge and wisdom.

When I did a seminar with JJM last summer he explained some details to this from something I have been playing with. It completely changed how I break the guard open. When you do this correctly there is alot of tension in the bottom guard person's feet. When you put some pressure they just pop open.

I've actually have been doing this naturally for a while now. To then see JJM instructing it, makes me feel great about myself. I tend to put my right hand across my chest, angle slightly to mý left, push down to open the guard with my left hand. The posture is identical and once you get good at it, you never go back.

My instructor taught me the hip thing at white belt, I am amazed by how many jiujitsu practitioners do not know this.

We just learned breaking closed guard with elbows. Didn’t realize posture, hips, and waiting for him to lift shoulders would also help.

You may want to find a better bjj school

[@akamai25]

What is he doing with his hips?

[@BM-of6dg]

Basically instead of arching the lower back, you need to engage the hips and kinda thrust them forward so you’re sitting on your hips..

[@mannycalvar4254]

Thanks, the camera man didn’t really capture that detail

if you are trying to break someone's posture and your legs are down around their waist... good luck.. he's pulling the top guy forward not down
