    1. Not being aware of distance - A lot of people allow their opponent to get too close to them. The closer he is to you, the easier it will be to pass. Instead, create distance by scooting your body away while looking for useful grips.
    2. Holding on to grips too long when he passes - If your attack from guard fails, just let go early and start framing/adjusting your distance before he passes.
    3. When on your back, make sure your legs are always in his way or framed on him - Never have your legs down when falling back or pulling guard.
    4. Grabbing instead of pushing away - ALWAYS push or frame away to create space. Don’t hold him when your guard is in trouble, you’re doing the work for him.
    5. Not protecting Elbow-Knee Connection- you need to frame with your legs but don’t overextend or over-shrimp to the point where your inside position is super accessible.

    Wow. Been training for about five years, pull guard most of the time, and never internalized the "feet up and at opponent" concept. My peanut-sized brain exploded. Gamechanger.

    I like this style of teaching:
    1) Explain talking to the camera in your room.
    2) Show us the application on the mat while narrating live.
    3) Repeat.
    Thank you my friend.

    "They learn the cool techniques, then get their guard passed and spend the rest of the time in side control"

    Jon I freaking love this!
    Sometimes we ask questions to our coaches but they use very vague explanations or don't really address the question very well. And it is difficult for them considering they have so many students with different struggles that is hard to address everyone's needs and the system you have here it's beautiful you do an amazing job by addressing the positions with examples and scenarios please keep this up the jiu-jitsu community definitely benefits from this style of content.

    Love the emphasis on elbow to knee distance, very common mistake

  • @rc7746
    @rc7746 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This helps because I was extending my legs too far to create space, thus my opponent was often passing my guard; the knee to elbow and keeping my legs up and framing prior to falling back is going to help tremendously.
    This type of content from description to demonstration Is perfect for learning. Thank you!

    Thanks, I pretty much always play guard. I'm 49 and 148lbs Blue Belt. Generally everyone is bigger than me unless they're a younger kid, I'll generally try to go straight to their back or play guard. I often forget these general principles, psyched to imbed in my mind to hopefully improve my guard game.

    1/ you shall not be close
    2/ you shall not hold your grips too long
    3/ you shall lift your feet first while falling on your back
    4/ you shall push instead of grab, to create space
    5/ you shall not over extend your legs
    Thank you for this format, very instructive, the first one and the fith one I have to work on closely :-)

    • @JonThomasBJJ

      The first one seems obvious but was not a major thing I realized until recently. Being further away makes literally almost every guard more powerful.

    Mistake #1
    *Letting your opponent get too close*
    - the closer your opponent is, the closer you are to getting passed
    - manage distance by using your opponent to backup
    Mistake #2
    *Holding grips for too long*
    - overholding grips will make it more challenging to recover from compromising positions
    Mistake #3
    *Leaving your feet down when pulling guard*
    - lift your feet as you fall back to prevent your opponent from passing
    Mistake #4
    *Grabbing instead of pushing*
    - in compromised positions, frame or push to create space
    Mistake #5
    *Overextending your legs and over-shrimping*
    - limit the space between your knees and elbows

  • @ericdwkim
    @ericdwkim 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is exactly the kind of content I was looking for as a beginner. All the major points of frustration are being answered and shown perfectly. Even something as simple as the shrimping to get your knee/leg in to retain guard instead of shrimping with legs far out is such a detail that beginners like me will overlook b/c coaches are so busy telling us to simply "shrimp shrimp!!" when we are stuck on the bottom after getting our guard passed.
    I wish there was a way for me to buy you a cup of coffee or something! Would love more helpful content like this.

    Really great material. I like attacking and it is scary for an opponent but I learned that a good defensive game and getting out of hard situations is more of a mind game for your opponent. I have seen grown men just get beat down all because they get an advantageous position then lose it because of good guard and escape game. Love the material you push out and I use it on the mats almost daily.

    My professor keeps reminding me to keep good knee elbow connection. The tip on maintaining a tight core with legs up is an excellent point. My guard gets passed when my legs get too far away or I let them pass and forget good frames.
    Good frames equal better rolling.

    As a 6ft 300 lb blue belt, I find this fascinating. I have a real hard time playing guard at all. I am not built to play guard and I understand that but people passing makes my job a lot harder than if I could at least stall them to make my position better.

    100% guilty of over shrimping lol!!! I'm trying to get better at knowing when to shrimp and when I can frame to recompose.

    • @JonThomasBJJ
      @JonThomasBJJ  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah we are always taught to, shrimp shrimp shrimp! In reality it’s useful sometimes but a lot of times just having your legs closer to chest and off floor makes you much more mobile.
