From a TV professional that’s recently fallen in love with BJJ, I applaud the level of production value of these. Great camera and sound quality, and I never feel bogged down with terminology. Very polished and inclusive video series. Keep up the great work.
Agreed. These videos are expertly made. Perfect amount of information that is super digestible for beginner/intermediate level people such as myself. Thanks Jordan!
Great videos and instructions! When I'm rolling, I always have in mind "break grips", "don't let them control the head", "awareness of what the other is doing", "where the head goes the body follows" and many other key messages you often transmit. As a white belt, I'm still missing a lot of technique, but it's working great for surviving 😆
He mentioned in one roll, break grips immediately, but not all grips are useful. So you might consider also taking a moment to evaluate if the grip is relevant. When I roll with a black belt friend of mine, he takes grips in a way that are just traps. The grips sometimes are totally pointless, but then I reach to break and open up vulnerabilities and get my ass kicked. Hehe
Man... the break grips was the most impactful tip I finally solidified from Jordan. Thanks for everything and all of the incredible videos/content. Keep it up! Sincerely, ever improving blue belt :)
Wow, mind blown. As a beginner (1 stripe blue belt) it seems like I have just a few techniques for most position. But as my teammates become more proficient and I become more predictable my techniques aren't as reliable. After watching this video I see my pretty much only half guard escape looks like a good opportunity to turn it into a butterfly sweep. I'm burning this to memory now and hope to try it soon. Oss!
@Amayerican Mixed Martial Arts Really, I don't know. I've always heard blue belt referred to as "still a beginner belt" whereas purple belt is an expert. I'm just trying to give context.
Great video. Thanks for putting this out. I've loved playing Butterfly for years and this is a very concise fundamental breakdown. Your channel is killing it!
Just had a butterfly guard seminar today. This is a great video to repeat what was taught to us. Helps especially with remembering some of the details I had probelms with.
Can not wait to begin my journey in BJJ next year. Recovering from an ACL tear currently. Soon as it’s fully back to good I’ll be taking it up. Hopefully learn from these videos prior
While injured, I got some old pants that are too small for me, filled them with pool noodles and stuff to make a training dummy, then did the same for an old collared cotton shirt. I can sit on my back, close my eyes and review stuff with physical movements in a low risk environment at home.
Thank You so much. The details and the way you speak about them are so relaxing that I don't even want to skip the video. That's forces me to study. Wow!
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu I’m studying for my blue belt test right now. A video briefly going over all of the techniques YOU expect someone to know for something like that and why would be awesome!
@@x_Isaiah_x_ we'd love to man! We will make that happen one day 100%. Plan is to build up the channel enough to get seminar offers around the world then do travel vlogs and feature the gyms too. Will definitely happen in SoCal one day!
Really enjoyed this tutorial. I love butterfly guard so much and this gives some really things for me to work on, especially the guoilloutine/darce chokes.
Love the videos, very informative and the slow-mos make it easier to notice the details in each of the movements. What would be your recommendation on how a novice white-belt can practise these outside of class? Keep up the great work 🙌🏻
Super awesome butterfly video !! Those elbow sweeps are 👌😅 very effective!! I love halfguard butterfly sweeps they are my go to being a small person 👊👊
I only recently learned the correct name for this is "shoulder crunch" butterfly sweep, but I'd also been doing it for years now. It's the only move I can hit against someone who outweighs me by 100 lbs so it definitely is powerful and extremely scalable against big opponents. Threaten the armbar and keep getting the side angle even if you don't know how to do it, and they'll practically sweep themselves when trying to fix the angle.
That was what i was looking for! Thanks Jordan! Just trying to start utilizing my legs in an efficient way while rolling, since i tend to be weaker than the guys i roll with so this really helps out!
That's a great idea idea Alex! I keep meaning to do that but never get around to it. I'm going to do that asap because that would really enhance the user experience even more. I appreciate it man 🙏
Thanks Nikki! We appreciate you taking it for the team. You guys do great work. Great channel. I watch the videos repeatedly... depending on what we are covering in class that week
Amazing details. Can see where I’m going wrong in a lot of my attempts now. 10/10 BJJ video page will reccomend to all my pals ! Wish I had this page as a white belt lol
Won't forget after you watch it 😊 It goes super in depth. Just spent 7 hours editing it today on top of what I already did the last couple days and it's still not done. The hardest one I've made but I've structured it perfectly so everyone can d'arce successfully! Will be out Monday 🙏👊
Love the butterfly guard, but I seldom get here because I always prefer to get my opponents/ training partners into closed guard. Only reason being I often make the mistake of not playing on my side as much as is needed. The sweeps or reversals fail or don't work and I end up getting passed or out worked. You did a beautiful job explaining the core concepts of the guard, as well as giving us prime examples of what can happen to both people working in this sequence. Thanks again Jordan, and thanks Nikki!
Nikki is such a great uke. Perfect size for you. Incidentally, we've got a new guy at our gym. Ex wrestler from high school and pretty strong, but I can handle his strength. What I can't handle is his height. The guy is big, muscular af and taller than me by around 6 or so inches. The first time we rolled (last week), he turtle and I took his back, with hooks. He tossed me around like a rag doll because his limbs were longer and I had to release my hooks to post and lost the position. Do you have any tips for dealing with size disparities? I would add that I'm 5 foot 9, 115kg powerlifter. He's about 6 foot 4 bodybuilder, similar weight. I was able to control him by sticking to the head, but I thought it might be an interesting topic since I am sure that there are plenty of others who are facing similar challenges, but don't have the advantage of power.
Such a great and through explanation of the butterfly guard. Quick question -- All of your attacks are when they are on their knees, so if they approach you standing or seated, do you do anything to get them to transition to their knees before you initiate any butterfly attacks? Thank you!!
Another invaluable video jordan thanks guys this is brilliant and nikki your a super star for taking all that. maybe next time nikki does a rolling commentary on her point of view on of to beat a higher belt aka jordan. Or even double commentary. Brown belt vs Black belt!!! Man vs women!! Dunno if ya married but husband vs wife!! .. !!!

3rd time through - pure gold. #1 BJJ creator on UA-cam!
Thank you 🙏
If something is in the way it must be addressed. There so much application to that even outside jujitsu!
Exactly! Can't try to smash through obstacles in life or BJJ. Must analyze the situation, and address it. Great point man!
Great video. Thanks for putting this out. I've loved playing Butterfly for years and this is a very concise fundamental breakdown. Your channel is killing it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I need to make more like this soon.
Your videos have elevated my game, both gi and nogi. Super informative. Thank you Jordan.
That's so awesome to hear, man! Happy for you 🙂
Your videos are the best by far… so much information molten in… you can watch them a hundred times and still find something new… big help, thank you!
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! 👊 I hope the upcoming videos will be of great use as well. 🙏

The speed at which you deliver the information is what's so great about these videos! Very condensed! Awesome bro thanks
This is so good man...all the small details are very helpful.

Thanks Matt! We appreciate you watching! 😁
Hay man great video. What do you do if they grap your ankles? I have a problem with this.
You need to fight the grips! Don't let them grab and if they do, break the grips off your ankles.
