I'm a 6 month white belt. I'm 40 years old and fairly fit in comparison to others my same age.. , 185cm 80kgs, but ive been getting smashed by younger and heavier players. Ive been really drilling all the content of this video for the past months straight and today in live rolling, nobody was able to pass my guard or submit me and ive got my first real technical sub in, against this big 18 year old wrestler kid, thats been just smashing me when we train. Felt pretty good , I feel pretty good about my self and eager to learn more jiujitsu now, but just wanted to show you my appreciation.
Great stuff, thank you! Getting smashed is a fairly regular part of my life as a no-stripe white belt 😅. I appreciate how you get to the point and very clearly explain critical principles and details in this video, not to mention all of your others.
I like the tips in these folks' videos. I also like the two part style. Lecture style, then a voice over on an actual roll. Well done and helpful for my game. Not helpful for my opponents haha! :)
Jordan explained that you should use T-Rex arms and always be on your side, defending underhooks and your head, and when he showed the Rolling Footage I found really interesting that, instead of showing you in the bottom, you're actually narrating in the Passer's point of view! Really cool and I guess it's easier when you know what your opponent is thinking to get to know what you should do. Good work, Jordan, appreciate it alot!
Hey Jordan, I have been following your channel since I started Jiujitsu 3 months ago. Your advice & Instructional have helped me tremendously with foundational skills, what to focus on initially, etc. I really appreciate you putting out such great content.
I only started about 2 months ago so I'm a complete newbie, but I have found your videos really interesting. Hopefully once I know what I'm doing I'll be able to see the mistakes I'm making and what I should have done
Love your videos! I am a female that just got my blue belt. Was defending a triangle by bringing both arms back in and got double arm barred. Didn't even know that was a thing. Lol. Can't find a single video on how to defend or escape double arm bar.
It's definitely a risk if your don't get your shoulders past the legs. It's them countering your counter. Tough position to escape for sure. Can't let them get there. Gotta get your shoulders in front of the legs otherwise it's like giving them a high guard or top lock like some people call it :)
i agree with the tips and especially on not being flat and preventing underhooks. it is on my top rules to follow. and it prevents pretty much most attacks. and makes my bjj life a lot easier
One thing that has helped me : I kept showing up. Cliche as it may be as you show up more you’ll learn that getting “smashed” is part of BJJ and that one might as well embrace it. Show up learn some techniques, master the concepts and in few months you’ll be putting it all together. A tip for new students : Focus drilling all the small basic movements like bridging, shrimping, shoulder walks ect…and learn to put them together . Don’t worry about the submissions for now . The focus is learning to move around on the mats .
I've been showing up 4-5 times per week for 7 months. I adopted the just keep showing up mentality week 1 and it just occurred to me this week that I don't think I've ever swept anyone let alone submitted them. I'm the smallest guy in the gym by 60lbs so that might have something to do with it? Idk. Somehow I still have fun but I'm wondering how long does it normally take to at least be able to not be underneath everyone I roll with. I think I'm like BJJ stupid or something
@@davidmiller-zf8zl Everybody’s different and that’s the cool thing about Jiu Jitsu. Everyone develops their own style of it and as you continue to train and roll with them, you’ll start developing your own that’s unique and fits with the mechanic of your own body . The time of one’s progression ranges so I can’t put a time stamp on it. But you’re close if you’re still having fun even though you’re mounted . That shows that you’re comfortable in tough position, which is key!
@@dillonroman7257 oh shit. That's a really good point. I've gotten really good at escapes because I'm always down. I didn't even think about that. Thanks dude!
whenever i feel crap is about to hit the fan, and my legs and hips are beat, then i go straight into turtle, baby bridge, hawking, iron pillow or any other trench position- locking down everything. it makes life so much easier and a nightmare to attack
I have a suggestion for you. You should do a video or a playlist of what a white belt needs to know to get a blue belt as soon as possible from the beginning to the end. Apart from that you should do a video with drills that will make a white-belt more flexible.
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu We all gotta start somewhere.... I have been commenting on your videos about my first day being tomorrow repeatedly.. Well I was late the first class and so for real I am starting tomorrow. Friday Oct. 7th, 2022 @ 6pm! You and jedi have helped me get into my first class. Thanks a ton!
My I make one suggestion. When you have 2 people rolling on camera if they have different color Gi on would help to see who is doing what. Make it easier to follow along.
I love how when they roll, it's very flow rolling, working on technique and constantly transitioning to different positions. At my gym there's so much ego, everyone is just trying to smash each other, muscle through everything, you end up learning nothing and don't get the opportunity to try techniques. I personally don't get it, I'm there to learn, not brawl with everyone.
I have such a hard time stopping partners from controlling the head. Ie I will do an elbow escape and even if I get the under hook they will get control of my head. So frustrating!

"Flip her the bird" is the funniest thing I have seen on training videos! Hilarious! Love these videos! Especially for white belts who feel so lost!
😅😅😅
Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoy the channel 🙂
Doing the bird next time I roll with a black belt. Then I’ll learn how to type with 9 fingers
@@BrandonTLuong LOL. Well good thing for you that small joint manipulation is illegal. You’ll get to keep your finger.
That’s amore!!!
Great stuff, thank you! Getting smashed is a fairly regular part of my life as a no-stripe white belt 😅. I appreciate how you get to the point and very clearly explain critical principles and details in this video, not to mention all of your others.
Same!
Jordan I'm a 3 stripe white and your channel has helped me a ton. The way you explain concepts is second to none. Keep it up and you are the man!
I appreciate it so much man, thanks!
Ayo, did you get the blue belt already, mate? :)

Thanks Jonathan! We're doing everything we can to make BJJ easier to learn :)
You are a great teacher, everything seems simpler and clear. Thanks
Thank you 🙏
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu Agreed. Very clear and simple explanations. I enjoy the speed at which you explain your techniques. Thanks!!!
Because of your channel, I have been hitting my guard sweeps more now. Your videos have opened my eyes to a lot of things I’ve been missing.

You are very analytical in your commentary...a great coach I think. Hope this lockdown mularkey ends soon and we can all get back to enjoying sport. 😊
Thank you! Means a lot to me 🙏 😊
Great video, subbed and liked. I like the fact that you included rolling footage with commentary at the end too.
Thank you! Really glad you like it 🙏

love the rolling with commentary, great way for me to learn, wish more channels did this. Thanks.
It's starting to catch on now. I think soon they will become massively popular. Glad you enjoy mine 🙏🙂
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu I liked seeing this roll in real time. I like your slow motion rolls but I like seeing some rolls in real time as well.
Your channel and video quality has dramatically improved since these early vids. Good job Jordan!
Thank you! I'm always trying to improve 🙂
Mate, these videos are awesome, they should be a must watch for all new white belts.
i agree with the tips and especially on not being flat and preventing underhooks. it is on my top rules to follow. and it prevents pretty much most attacks. and makes my bjj life a lot easier
Love your videos I'm a blue belt in Dallas TX

4:53 lol you can hear your baby in the background. it's fun watching these older videos where the production feels so casual
Love the channel, please keep it going! Any chance you can do a video on escaping the kimura trap? Thanks 🙏
You got it man! 😁
Good tips I like the trex arms lol
So crucial haha
You're lucky that you didn't get an "accidental" knee to the groin after that gesture... lol
😅😅😅 I'm lucky she loves me lol

This is great. I’m a 2 class not strip. Class. We learned both these today. It’s cool. Nice video. Im now following u
Thank you for subscribing! 👊
Super video . thanks for the info. delighted i found these .
Thank you for your knowledge and content, very beneficial!
My pleasure! 😁

I am liking this channel bro.. kinda new its seems .. but i dig it..
Great tips, thanks for the video

It's our gym gi 🙂
I want to make sure that I do enough glute exercises to do the bump and shrimp
Great advice. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! :)
That John Wayne sweep 👌
They rolled so hard a child was born at 4:52
Great video
Thanks! 😁
“I got the body triangle and if I wanted to I could squeeze that thing and finish” 😂😂😂
😅
Oss
Is it possible to make a video about long breaks in training, especially people who get blue belts and stop training
I have such a hard time stopping partners from controlling the head. Ie I will do an elbow escape and even if I get the under hook they will get control of my head. So frustrating!
Try to prioritize controlling the far arm when you take an underhook. If you control the grip battle from the start it'll be easier :)
👊
👏
I can’t even look at you right now lol
👊🏼
2:06
A video where a superheavy guy would try to smash you would be more realistic.
my whitebelt system how not get smashed ist just stand up
👍🥋
White belts
Nikki is so cute!!!
