I’ve been playing with this over the past year too. For me, it came about from threatening a leg entanglement from top and dealing with folks’ reactions. I wasn’t sure if it was something worth continuing to develop but your video inspires me to keep going. I will definitely absorb your research into mine. Thank you for the expert analysis of this concept!
I use reverse side control often. Once I got over not wanting to hurt folks, being heavy was much easier. I’ll definitely focus on the shin balance method. Thanx brother
This is very interesting, thanks so much for doing the excellent video, I was using some of it already but this reallly explains it well and love the part about nullifying their shin on shin entry into single leg x
Great technique. Now that you point it out and as you show in the training...a lot of the best people do this. But I don't think I understood or appreciated what was happening. Until now. Thanks.
Dear Jon, thank you for this great video! In the first few minutes, you mentioned a video on digging in from the North/South position. Would you share the link? Thank you again and please come to Denmark to teach!
Yeah I have loosely done it before non internationally but once really focusing on it, it made a huge difference especially in the initial onset of the position.
I saw Marcos Tinoco talking about the difficulty of learning some of the stuff Lepri was trying to teach, and he said once he could figure out the posture then all the techniques flowed out of it. Edit: found the clip th-cam.com/video/NogcOmpfQME/w-d-xo.html I feel like you've isolated the posture here. From this shin ride the backstep, kneecut, and other passes will flow. Ive seen the individual passes before but not the postural glue holding them together.
As an older player (51) the knee cut puts too much pressure on my knees. But using the other knee shouldn’t fold the knee as much so I older players may be able to use this concept.
Yeah for sure the shin positioning will, the details on passes and things will probably change but I think the shin positioning concept will still be useable
Hahaha for sure this is only for if you didn’t see that video. But in all seriousness I know the titles are click baity but the difference in how much the algorithm promotes them is so much I can’t avoid having to do it.
I need the X guard passing video ASAP. My BJJ nemesis has been catching me with x guard way too much for my liking
Definitely gonna do a broader X guard passing video at some point.
3 years now on my bjj journey and I just keeping coming back to this YT channel, pure gold every single time 💯
Thanks so much buddy means a lot to know people have been watching and using it for so long

I do this already but not at this level, love all the details.
Right? I stumbled into this in nogi from the regular side to side standing passing. Standard knee on belly wasn't available often but this was.
Lucas Lepri appreciation in the beginning though 🔥
Yeah such amazing passing!

Great video. Ties in well with held guard passing concepts like beating or covering their knee.
Excellent video. I've been in love with this for a few years now.
Love the tunes on the end 🎶🎼
Thanks! Happy you liked the sparring clips!
More of this please. Need this in my game.
Thanks as always Jon
Would love a follow up video going into more detail!
Great content as always, Jon. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Nicely explained, thanks for this 🙏
My pleasure 😊

Hey buddy just added it in now, thanks for the reminder! I will try to visit soon. I live in Gothenburg Sweden so come visit sometime if you want
Amazing explanation as always :)
Thank you so much!
Awesome,love this!!
Thanks so much!
Interesting generalization. I've use this against x guards specifically but didn't see it as a general tool in this way

awesome video!!
Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah the knee cut can be tricky, I think if you find the good angles it’s not too hard on the knee but definitely need to be careful.
would you use this technique in no gi contexts where heel hooks are allowed?
Would this also work in no-gi?
Yeah for sure the shin positioning will, the details on passes and things will probably change but I think the shin positioning concept will still be useable
Nogi is where I stumbled into this. Grips are different and I find myself securing north south more often but it's legit.
Gold!!
Thanks so much!
great
Just wondering What's your weight and height?
Hey buddy I’m 6 foot 1 and 155lbs
super!
Thanks!
Why would we use this when you showed the unstoppable guard pass system? It works 100% of the time and is impossible to counter

REVERSE SIDE CONTROL COMMENT
Reverse kesa video would be nice 😁
X GUARD PASSING COMMENT
Will definitely make soon!
first
Super fast!
