VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Rick Ellis discusses the principles that allow BJJ to be effective.
I've been watching since I was a white belt in 2022 now I'm a blue belt! Thanks for the awesome tips. Love your channel!
Same
Got my first stripe tonight !!! 6 months in
Congrats!! the first of many!
Just left a noon class about guard retention and listen to this on the way home. Now I wanna go back and drill cause it makes more sense to me now 🤣🤣
White belt problems
Thanks for the great content!
I like the self defense paradigm of original BJJ/GJJ: surviving-escaping-controlling-submitting¿?
Thanks coach for the great post
I have tried to explain this to people... you get some who agree, you get some who laugh at you and call you mcdojo
WOW! Great content here. Thank you so much.❤
It’s pretty amazing that the worlds most efficient and effective martial art that has been proven to work in real life self-defense situations. It’s also the worlds most humane.
Stay "heavy" when in a top controlling position.
Just to add for anyone watching, outside position/control is also a major viable option for leg attacks, for example, Lachlan Giles has been one of the people developing that in No Gi. But for the lower level belts looking at leg locks, the inside control/position system of getting to them may be more accessible.
Never give up your back. Always seek TOP position. Secure your position prior to applying submission. If you get your back taken, protect your neck. Never go full speed on submissions. And 100 others....
Underhooks has definitely helped from bottom position. I wished I would have used them alot more when I first started.
Angle, weight and timing
leverage
I think it's a bit of a disservice to the grappling genre to exclude the influence of catch wrestling in BJJ, especially when talking about leg locks
Actually Rick , as I have heard it Jujitsu is the Original Japanese art of the Samurai for combat which included Striking , Throwing & Ground Fighting for the battlefield with or without armour . Brazilian or Gracie Jujitsu are considered off shoots of the Judo throwing aspects of the original Japanese Jujitsu . Sorry for needing out on the History . Thanks for the Principle based Theory , I like the big picture stuff , Started at 50 now 61 and still rolling ! 😊
Id love to see they 4 principles in action
International video.
So are you saying that Japanese JJ is not as effective as BJJ?
Because I believe Roy Dean is also a blackbelt in both styles.
What is his thoughts on JJJ if trained via sparring, which is difficult as it was supposedly the art of the Samauri for battlefield.
Bjj reminds me more of Judo which went a different direction to Olympic judo.
Because the original old style bjj spent more time in Newaza but also had kicks and strikes.

Sorry Professor but, there is a rival art in Brazil called luta livre that utilizes leg locks.
@@Lift_these there was Oswaldo Fadda as well , but none of them brought Jiu Jitsu to the United States, and none of them were involved in helping jiu-jitsu grow explosively. The people that did were not leg lockers.

Not sure of that, due to the fact that westerners do travel to other countries and learn from the people and things they encounter in those countries. There is always a chance that as long as something exist there could have been some kind of influence directly or indirectly. In college if I discuss a topic that preexisted somewhere, and claim it as my own, it would be considered plagiarism, even though I may have never been exposed to the idea by the source that predated my idea. However, I do appreciate your approach to jujitsu.
Thank you Professor, ousss. 🙏🏾
@@Lift_these The differences between Luta Livre and BJJ, specifically No Gi BJJ are interesting because there doesn't seem to have been a lot of difference in the 70s/80s but as No Gi develops, there seems to be basically no difference now. The Gracie's definitely stole (or took inspiration from) Luta Livre. But all grappling is grappling, it is just the rules that separate them.
@@Paintballman251 the diference between both basically is the guard passing
@@Paintballman251
I agree
control points, proper pressure, breathing, lol...
My first a-ha principle was defense is about creating space and offense is about taking away space
As a basketball player I’ve been conditioned to think the opposite. This is so simple (because we are talking combat), but so difficult to comprehend at the same time.
My principle is "control the space".
1. Base, Posture, Structure
2. Keep moving; don't get stuck and just sit still
3. Find a way to create some space so you can improve your position
1. Take down to ground, 2. Pass guard, 3. Dominant controlling position, 4. Submission.
Then
1. Connection, 2. Obstruction, 3. Deflection, 4. Absorption
J. Danaher did put all this quite clearly and concisely. th-cam.com/video/3j4z023F1Y4/w-d-xo.html
If you cant achieve one of those 4 steps, then aply leg locks
0. Pull guard
One principle that really increased my effectiveness is kuzushi. I'm now always trying to off-balance my opponent constantly, and it really opens up the opportunity to submit or sweep.
The first principle that helped me is protect the elbow-knee space
Still struggle with it. I’m convinced once I finally get that down my belt might change colors lol
Great video ... for me the biggest principle is to use the strongest part of your body (or your entire body) against the weakest part of the opponent's body. A person can be way bigger and stronger than you but it's very unlikely that their neck is bigger and stronger than your legs.
Keep people out of your knee pits and arm pits.
What is #3 borrow power?
I think Kasushi or Off balancing, really changed things for me as a white belt, when I started to grasp it, it seemed like magic!
Same. Even as a blue belt when I find stuff not working for me, I'm usually not off-balancing well enough.
Then, the river principle, or the idea of going around resistance the way a river flows around a rock has been a game changer for me as well.
I've been listening to the BJJ mental modals podcast for a year now - which is as long as I've been training.
From them I learned most of those concepts. You said it well, these concepts really help to come up with an idea on how to improve one's position even in unfamiliar situations.
The concepts that stuck with me the most:
Posture - making sure one's spine isn't twisted or pushed down, so one can use it better.
Base - one's ability to absorb and generate force relative to one's goal.
Structure - having one's limbs in athletic positions instead of having them twisted or trapped by a 2 on 1 or a lapel entanglement.
Levers - the downside to frames is when an experienced partner can redirect them, control them and use them as levers for joint locks
Pressure = force/area - for positions like knee on belly or side control, one want's to have as much of one's body weight on as small an area as possible, so in side control an alternative to having wedges with one's knees one can drive a large portion of one's weight into the partner by lifting the knees and staying on one's toes and bringing all one's weight on a small area around the hip/side of the chest.
Kuzushi/Off-balancing - a bit similar to the force absorption you mentioned, in standing and sometimes when playing guard and going for a sweep. Off balancing an opponent first makes it much more easier to go for a takedown/sweep, instead of trying to force it when they have a strong base.
Hey man I remember during my initial few trainings that I watched your basic overview of BJJ and found it very helpful. In that first place we were learning leg entanglements and takedowns from the bottom an I was like wtf is this, but your video helped me paint a more accurate picture and for a beginner that was the bomb
i'm going to my second class tonite wish me luck! Great video - my buddy from the gym who is hardcore recommended this!
1.Face your Problem 2. Seek and maintain the high ground 3. Borrow Power 4. When attacking, take up space. When defending, create space. 5. improve incrementally. ( My lineage is Maeda>Carlos> Carleson Sr.>Julio Fernandez>Mike Pologruto/Sue Arbogast) I think the Path of Jiu Jitsu and the principles of jiu jitsu, and combat in general, are different things.
Scissor sweep, push/pull to create off balancing
Fuck position, only win by submission.
For me, things really started to click when i learnt about the idea of Angles. How your position and options change when you just change your angle on your opponent.
Beautiful explanation. Amazing content.
You forgot:
3. No touch martial arts. The art of knocking out your students without touching them, but getting your ass kicked by everyone else.
Great video. Good stuff 👌
No one can deny the power of bullshido!!! 🤣🤣
I am literally havong no success passing guard with anyone my level or slightly above. 4 stripe white belt.
I learned the arms on the mat rule at my first tournament where I got my arms abused and spent the next month needing to keep my elbows in to deal with the pain. I also learned in class that to get the sweep I need to deal with the arm and or leg that's going to stop it.
