Wow..this is the $10000000 detail. I have watched and purchased countless of bjj videos since starting bjj in 2006 and this is the first time I watched an instructional which addressed the shoulder rising to start the hip escape and countering it with shoulder pressure. Thanks again and really appreciate your knowledge and contribution to this art .
Thank you so much! Yeah it’s crazy how much one small idea or detail can completely change a position. Hope the collar choke detail helps too, that was a major breakthrough for me
Jon, yours is truly *INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT". You nail something that is difficult to hit in that you know not just what to show, but how to show it. Explanation..coaching..is often doing a good job of illustrating..with words, pictures, demonstration, etc. You paint good pictures, sir and I am thankful for the benefit of it!!
Oh I really appreciate it a lot. Hearing this kind of stuff really motivated me to keep working and seeing how far I can take the channel. Thanks so much!
Content recommendation: What I would do with a video like this is release a second video right away that indicates how, in this example, the person on bottom can actually defend. As we all know Jiu-Jitsu is not one-sided so when you look at this particular video you would think once you get mount you will destroy everybody always, but the reality is people on the bottom have ways to effectively get away too. So just to optimize view count and keep videos succinct, it would be good to release them as two separate videos but release them in tandem so that a person can get the full picture from each position as attacker and defender. Then I suppose the only thing to address at that point is the “space between“, which is where most success in jiujitsu occurs. All the transition type stuff that exists between the two polar opposite positions. I guess most of that can be built into the two videos as mentioned above, but perhaps sometimes a 3rd video could be released that would specifically address the in-between type stuff. That'll cause some redundancy of content to the first two videos, but hey, if we all got everything we needed from a single video, there'd only be like, 12 videos on BJJ on TH-cam. :) So redundancy is a good thing.
Awesome video! Great mix of narrated sparring, comp footage and technique breakdown! Also starting with explaining a bit of how to control the position and later going in to different common reactions and attacking systems is really helpful!
Hi Jon, love your content - absolutely priceless when it comes to revising and going back over stuff. I'm heading to the gym tonight and when i roll i'll be focusing on mounted triangles and mounted cross chokes :D
I like the system you laid out. The progression makes sense and the details on adjusting based on their movement answer my questions on how they might defend. This one is going in my BJJ playlist! Thank you!
Absolutely love your in-depth explanation videos. Starting from "this is how you stay in this position" and then going to attack is incredibly helpful.
Your instructional videos are always stellar! I appreciate the details you add to each position (e.g. grip positions and body weight) as well as the clips of these techniques being used in competition. It’s apparent how much time, thought and effort is put into each one of these videos and we are all better because of it. Thank you!
Will do! I have another huge one coming next month on The Push Pull Principle which is gonna be super fun. One of the most powerful principles in jiu jitsu to understand
please, please don't stop doing such a gold content. Sooo many helpful details, for some people it's the only opportunity to learn, I mean exactly YOUR way to explain things. Awesome!
I can relate to how you execute your moves and position due to being a taller/long BJJ practitioner. The details you use and teach make All the positions more comfortable and easier. Thank you
awesome content as always. I have Recently subscribed to your lab, great resource for improving the little details in my and my students games. Also keeping upto date with new developing guard systems.
Man, I love how your insights bring a high-level understanding to regular practitioners. Honestly, every time I learn a technique or fundamentals from you it makes sense. Thank you!
Honestly me and all my students have gotten so much better thanks to your content, thank yo soo much from the bottom of my heart. ❤
Thank you for letting me know! It means a lot! Hope you guys continue to improve and enjoy the videos

Best channel for progressing me in Jiu Jitsu by far. You’re like a second coach on my off time explaining techniques, very thankful.
So happy to hear it man! That’s what I’m going for, want to be making a huge difference in people’s long term development
@@JonThomasBJJ question please can this be used in self-defense situations?
Making invisible Jiu jitsu visible.
Over 10years on the mat, still learning new stuff. Very informative, thank you! great Job!
It never stops! I have been training 20 and I am learning tons everyday
