I once saw a fight where a group of 4 people were beating up an old lady. I didnt hesitate for a second and helped out with my fighting experience. The old lady stood no chance against the 5 of us.
This channel is my go to place for my beginner Jiu jitsu brain. Seemingly simple and so effective. Can’t wait to get back on the mat! All the best mate, from an appreciative Pom
Training with Prof. Tom & his S. Australia academy has REALLY made it's way onto my bucket list. I can't imagine what just a day of in-person training & rolling would do for my mind & skills.
I am a guard player who have a hard time that my partners often pass my guard though I try to defend... LOL... thanks for this good video and I will try them ! :)
Love this content, as a 47 year old white belt facing younger, fitter, faster men nearly every roll (and the few older ones are all much more experienced!) I spend alot of time in bottom side control defending until I gas. Hopefully I can take some of these principles into class tonight and get a little more success in guard retention!
Thank you so much Professor Tom! Your videos have taken my game to an entirely new level, I'm now equal to my teams purple belts, and I'm just an orange belt! I am waiting for my birthday to come around so hopefully my parents can buy me your instructionals, I'm sure they are just as helpful (if not more) as your channels videos.
I hope you, the members of your gym, and all of your loved ones are safe from the fires. It's a tragedy on an enormous scale, but we're all pulling for you, and you Aussies are tough stock. Hang in there.
Been training for 7+ years and always get DESTROYED by the double under, (wrestlers favorite 😉) didn't think about shoulder walking/ heavy legs. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks so much.
I have a problem when people grip my gi pants and hold my legs to the ground and circle around me. This is a great video and should help my guard out a lot. Thank you :)
Arsenec Something I do to prevent this is to use the same technique for breaking grips on the arm when your standing but with my legs. I do that like circular motion and get my leg to the inside of my partners arm
Break oponents posture from closed guard Establish an open guard (de la riva, reverse de la riva) Use legs on both sides of opponents body to retain guard Deflect his head and hip escape Frame with stiff arms When opponent passes guard, go to knees, turtle, and eventually retain guard
Thank you. I have been in bjj for 8-9 months and I am ok at maintain or retaining guard on other white belts, but any color belt passes with ease! I am one of the bigger guy at 6’2” 210 but it does not seem to matter with color belts. And the ones that are close to my weight SMASH the hell out of me when passing! Any suggestions appreciated.
Adjust your grips, dont lay your back still on the floor, lean and move your hips more, learn a few sweeps, seems to be working for me, im also 6.2 and man, the homoplatas and triangles are inevitable agains those short guys
I have been traing bjj for almost three years and my open guard get's passed by week one white belts. I've tried working on it, but there is something that I just don't seem to get and I have no idea how to fix it.
Maybe you are elongating your body too much, extending your legs all the way and giving up a free pass? I had that same problem and remembering to make myself small and compact at the right times really helped my guard retention
Interesting to see how the deeper you go into the sport of bjj, the further you get from real life or mma usefulness. Still value in learning the moves but I wonder if that hinders people who want to use bjj outside of the sport
The thing is that after a year or so of grappling with strikes,it becomes very limited and kind of boring so advanced students will prefer sport grappling as the room for growth is endless. Even the Gracie academy does lots of sport bjj at the higher belts.
YES!!! You turtle is closed, with elbows in the hips. That’s how it’s done. Soooo many instructionals from high level guys with turtles just asking for hooks and seatbelts. Turtle is not that bad when done correct :)
It’s so funny how these free videos on youtube teach you more than the school-gym you are paying to teach you.
Yep. But it’s good to have upper belts correcting you. However, you can learn most everything online. Just need a training partner
Best teacher on TH-cam hands down!!!!
Another great video, easily one of the top 3 BJJ teachers on TH-cam - thank you so much
Who are they?

Excellent instructions on maintening guard! Being able to maintain guard is the difference between white belts and the higher belts.
This is A1 teaching. Bravo

As a no-gi BBJ white belt(?) these tips helped me immensely at the last open mat. Much appreciated.
Good video man.👍
Helpful. Thanks.
This is gonna hel so much exactly what I needed! I appreciate the content! OSS!

Awesome stuff as always!
You are the best teacher on TH-cam!
Always great teaching

Thanks this helps! Do you also have a video against a tight side control with shoulder pressure? Would love to see that
Thank you
Thanks professor. Awesome video. 🙏🏼
Damn, you are good at explaining things
Wonderful!
really great teacher
Having a good guard frustrates the hell out of opponents. Just keep frustrating them until they make a mistake or tire out. It's only a matter of time
true
Priceless advice. Tks a lot professor and cheers from Chile!

I would kill to train under this guy

I have been training for 2 years and I feel the same way. I'm going to try to implement the methods he talked about. Hopefully it works for us!

Either way I wish you luck in improving on it! God knows I've got stuff to work on in my game lol
@@peteypablo09 This might be part of the problem. I do have pretty long legs.
@@Sigrt Xande had a video that is good for this concept I think. I'll try to find it for you incase you haven't seen it

Professor ,are you in Australia? My brother lives there, Iam inUSA.
Whould delahiva apply to mma?
From the thumbnail I thought the guy was on a wheelchair
The accent and that badass make me watch this movie till the end,, thirsty
All that effort in practicing open guard and then the white belt throws the heel hook at you RIP
I'd quickly break the ankles if you're giving the legs up so much?? Not realistic
Holy crap did you start taking roids? You look atleast 15 lbs heavier in muscle.
