It's amazing how quickly you pick up the very basics like this.
It's also amazing how quickly you forget it all when you're tired mid-roll!
Guard:
1. Protect your neck
2. Keep good posture up
Side:
3. Avoid mount with knee up
Half guard:
4. Hold onto their leg
5. Chest pressing people away, exposing arm
Thanks!
I like the idea of thinking someone has a knife when going for you neck i seem to let my opponent get grips too easy. I also need to work on my Ahm Bahs, a lot of missed opportunities.
Ahm bahs rofl
Ahm bahs 😂😂😂
Just started BJJ last 6 weeks... struggling to pick anything up, your videos are helping, so thank you
I love this guy's voice and accent
The absolute best thing ab this video is how he immediately went straight to the point at second one of pressing play on the video. It’s a very highly effective and efficient video bc the focus is ONLY on the content & technique. 🐐💪🏼
I'm lot shorter and lighter than most guys and I found myself being bench pressed off whenever I get any type of top-side control. Never thought of the fact that they were giving me their arm for an armbar every time. I'll have to try this next time I roll
Love the video!
What I've watched so far, I like. Thanks for this!
Man... That was incredible.. I saw my mistakes 5 times... Thank you SIr.
Thanks I’ve literally made all of these mistakes. Appreciate the great vids I’m really getting a lot out watching them thank u! 👍👍
Started 2 months ago, it's good to see I'm doing most things right. When I'm in half-guard, I'll have a triangle on that leg and they expend a lot of energy getting rid of that.
insanely simple but I needed to hear this ! love the content, a absolute wealth of knowledge!
This video is fantastic. Have been training BJJ for only three weeks and improvement in my technique after watching this video was like night and day. Thank you. 👍
Great video. Thanks for making this 👍
Great simple info!!!
Excellent video
Just started my BJJ journey haven't got my first GI yet 😬 this is a great help on my future roll and I'll do the best to remember all of this to be able to survive without getting submitted, thanks coach... 👍👍👍
Still at it?
Coach Tom, thank for this vid, it has really helped me out. It’s funny to because my instructor never showed me about bringing my knee up when I’m in side control. Thank you so much. Peace
Good stuff!
I am so glad to have found this channel. I started my BJJ journey a year ago at age 67. I have learned a few things. My defensive skills are very good. My offensive skills, not so much. What I have in my very small bag of tricks is known by everyone else and so they can defend. Coach Tom explains everything in a slow methodical fashion and repeats steps more than once. I am learning some new things that I can practice with my tribe. It will be interesting to see if I can successfully pull them off. Also
Cant thank you for these videos enough!!
Very nice advices thanks .
Excellent video. I understood what he was saying and he broke it down to simple terms. 😀🙏🏻. I think alot of people posting video forget how hard learning BJJ is. He made it simple and easy to follow. 10/10. Im subscribing. 🤙
Thank you 🙏 🥋🤙🏼TD
Thanks again!
good stuff! ossum. thank u!
This dude’s great!
Next tuesday bout to go sign up and do my first class, you be sure I've watched like 300 videos on beginners and first day of jiujitsu hahaha
Thanks for the tips 💪
Great video , love from 🇬🇧
Wow seen a few of this guy’s videos and he is really knowledgeable about Grappling; keep it up, really enjoy, learn and successfully employ techniques from your videos regularly.
Glad to hear! Thanks and happy rolling (-: Tom Davey
some informative stuff here..
Thanks coach this is great advice for a new guy like me week one I have been getting dominated and seeing your videos as the reason why makes a lot of sense, I’m the bench presser and I always get into armbar 😒
No disrespect intended but aaahmbaaa!! Lol great video🤙
Is that a variation on the armbar?
; D
@@Aliens-Are-Our-Friends2027 Yeah you have to do it down under.
@@mirjamheijn5214 u mean down undhaaaa?
Shawn Pond AMBAH👏👏👏😂
What do you mean I can’t neee-bahr
Great instructional vid. Much appreciated. Thanks Mate!! OSS!
My pleasure! (-: Coach Tom Davey
I love this channel! You have helped my bjj game so much. So informative. I'm a white belt but bc you guys I have tapped alot less. Thanks for making bjj more fun for me! Oss!
That is awesome Kory, it is my absolute pleasure! SO great to hear. (-: Coach Tom
Everything is worse with your head down. Great affirmation! :)
Best jiujitsu channel on youtube.
The combination of the stack defense with the hitchhikers are my go to. Having a tight grip defense works too and enables the former mentioned escape. (-: Tom Davey
thank you
Amazing videos as always!
Thank you Jojo! (-: Coach Tom Davey
Been there, done that!
Love it
I just started BJJ 6 weeks ago. Number one has been a big issue for me. Glad to see its number one. It’s a big reinforcement to a mistake I keep knowingly making.
Great stuff as always, Coach Tom! I'm just two years into my Jiu Jitsu journey. I'm a very busy 40 yr old with a wife, four kids and demanding job. Only able to train at my academy once or twice (if I'm lucky) per week. At this point I watch so many of your videos you are greatly impacting my rolls. Thanks for being such a great virtual coach!
My absolute pleasure and so great to hear of your bjj journey. Keep up the good work and happy rolling on the mats (-: Coach Tom
coopertribe - I'll be 40 in a couple months and I've been doing BJJ and Kickboxing for a little over a year now. Just keep going as much as you can.
I’m in a same situation as yours and practice just once a week. Watching these videos help me to get a little more advanced in my class :) thank u for sharing these videos
Get a Jujitsu dummy to work on while at home they are a couple 100 bucs on amazon
So much to learn... :P
Dang i hope someone bench presses me soon. Lol. Thks coach. Very nice job on your videos!
Finished it and liked it very much!
Awesome Kiandra! Good luck on the mats (-: Coach Tom
10-4 thanks again coach tom
great vid
I love that rash guard--and Tom seems like a great guy. Excellent videos as always.
Thank you Matt! I try to be a nice guy...(-: Happy rolling. -Coach Tom
The Grappling Academy my apologies I didn't get to elaborate more on that I'm not familiar with, is it Brazilian Jiujutsu, I'm doing a different martial art it is a Aiki-Jujutsu. Only just recently found out about this UA-cam page as well as a couple others if that. If you have anymore pages\people you know of that's related to martial arts and anyone through here that knows of any, please send them my way! There will possibly be more from me. Catch you later!
I just started bjj with gi. Did some grappling 10 years ago and moving unto gi i got choked often and this grip holdings u can do with gi is a totally new game. I feel like a totally newbie going from no gi to gi.. 😅 great video. I was the one often forgetting my neck with the gi 🙊
I’ve perfected the technique of putting my head on the belly to rest and not get submitted ! 😂
Fulca my coach actually thought a pass the other week where when in closed guard you put your head on the belly and act like a rock so it’s hard for them to move you. It actually works pretty well
Yes, been taking bjj for a month, and made all 5 mistakes...many times... 😄 ... Thank you for all of the fantastic content!
I am late here, I do all of these mistakes :) Thank you for the vid
what should I do if I was making all those mistakes?
Disclaimer, as I'm only a 4-stripe white:
Lack of experience will result in defaulting to what the brain perceives to be basic survival. It's easy to get overwhelmed trying to defend every aspect against someone with more experience. One helpful option is to focus on just one of these and drill with someone who will only do the one movement. Once you feel comfy, speed it up a little bit, or have them resist a bit more. If it falls apart, slow it down and/or have them lighten up. Ask for feedback/corrections; sometimes a correction can be a shift in hips/body position. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Good ones
I like this guy!!!!
Love this video as a newbie, my only criticism is that on #2 you didn’t say what good posture was as far as I could tell. Thank you for the free content!
One mistake I kept making today is with the single leg take down I kept putting my head on the outside of my opponents leg and not the inside
Awesome
Your tips KICK ASS!!!! Just started BJJ about 1 1/2 months ago, and been submitted countless times....however watching these definitely helps me tap less 😁 Thanks Brother and keep making tips
Your videos are awesome and so helpful! Thank you for doing what you do! Where do you get that rash guard?
Our rashguards are now available on the x martial site!
Kick ass c-bass
Letting you opponent cross face you and control your head is also a very common mistake. Spot on video, thanks coach!
good points! (-: Coach Tom Davey
awesome advice, thanks
White belt 2 weeks into my jiu jitsu journey. I learned this 5 thinfs in my first couple of days the hard way. They do matter, and a lot. I can already tell I'm way harder to submit than my first day, although any one that's an experienced whit le belt and above in my class makes me look like a baby anyways. But man I'm loving it
Best bjj videos on UA-cam
Got choked yesterday because while trying to pass the guard...I was too confident and didn’t protect my neck.
100% agree I think another really bad thing is when they’re in the guard and they’re putting their hands down and not have a good posture. Or being in Mount and having not good posture. So again not have a good posture is very important very very important.
Last video I saw Paul in a white belt.......Nice work Paul for getting your blue belt
Freely admitting I have been guilty of all of these.
Oy hayt gitteen tapped with in ahm bah. It’s the bloody wist.
5:00 is the business
I know this is an older video but I'm just starting Jiu Jitsu (coming from other "arts"). Can you explain why going for an arm bar on "the bench press" vs going for an arm bar when someone is going for a cross choke? The arms seem similarly positioned.
"You're gonna have a bad time"
Commenting for youtube algorithms
This guy is the Steve Irwin of BJJ, " bench press and you are gonna get ahm bawd" Great video!
Best compliment ever. (-: Tom Davey
Are you really in more danger of being submitted in mount than side control? I have heard people say in terms of number of submissions available side control has the most out of any position. Plus mount is way easier to escape.
At a pre black level, side control is worse but at a higher level, mount is a major problem, even after you escape to half or roll them over! (-: Coach Tom Davey
Pure BJJ sure, if there are strikes invloved bottom mount is a far worse position to be inthan bottom sidecontrol
Man, the amount of times I got tapped when I was a total beginner cause I was tryna bench press people off 😂 wish I had found this video back then!
Great advice, however could you go over what to do instead of bench pressing the chest. Thanks
Sweep
Ahhhhhhm bahhhh!
Love your videos. How is it going in Australia?? It appears the government is taking a hard stance against its people and small businesses. Has this affected your gym?
Big time effected us: but we roll on
What to do instead than pushing his chest away? 5:18
Ammmmm baaaaaa
I’ve made those mistakes here and there...question..is it also a newbie mistake not to take advantage when others make those mistakes?
Well you can counter beginners when they screw up as it helps teach them. However these mistakes are temporary and beating newbies stops being appealing after a while. (-: Coach Tom Davey
Here's a 6th: Attempting chokes while in someone's closed guard
Somewhat agreed yet the Ezekiel can work from there! (-: Tom Davey
Hows the ideal jiu jitsu athlete built? short and stocky or long and skinny? why?
Well all shapes work. Plus we can only condition ourselves and get stronger/leaner. I have created outstanding competitors and seen it done with all bodytypes. Lanky bodytypes work well for some guards and triangles whereas stocky builds ecape easier and have great guillotines etc. (-: Tom Davey
What is the alternative of mistake number 5?
Use your elbows to hold them and use your hip to create distance through shrimping out. You must escape but not via getting in an armbar! Good luck (-: Coach Tom Davey
The Grappling Academy I tried it today it was slightly easier! Thanks!
AHHMBAHH
how about bench pressing with one arm and holding on it with the other so he cant grab it
Prof tom, do you train gi?
Yes, most of the time. Always 50% of the year Im in the gi. (-: Tom Davey
Your vids are very helpful, thanks!!
Australian furious pete
Ummmyeah.... I'm making ALL these mistakes. :-)
Another one ;panicking and giving your back
I made 4 out of 5 today at open mat 😂
Making mistakes is part of the learning experience though 😂
Is it to late for someone who never train.. and to start and be competitive in competition 20yrs old...?
That depends. You might find it difficult to get to the absolute elite level because those guys have been training every day since they were teenagers. There are competitions for every level though. I'm in my 40s and a white belt, but there are still competitions I can enter and compete against guys at my level. My only suggestion would be work as hard as you can, compete at the highest level you can and talk to your coach about what you want to achieve. If he thinks you can be a world champion and you're prepared to do the work, he WILL do whatever he can to help you get there.
@@XKenny77 thanks for answer ☺
you are young. get started now! (-: Professor Tom Davey
@@TheGrapplingAcademy Thank you 😊
This totally explains why i got destroyed yesterday lol 😂
I haven’t even seen the video and I’m already ashamed of the mistakes 🥴
What’s an Ambah? 😆
now its gonna go from bad.... to waaassssee
