How To Drill This So I've just piled a tonne of information into your head. I even called it simple. Which again, it certainly isn’t. To remember, or pull off when youre first learning it. All that’s simple is the premise. Get the underhook, get to your knees, finish by sweeping or taking the back. So how do we get all these complicated details memorized? Well, the best way to engrain this into your brain is to find a drilling partner. Practice without resistance the techniques themselves until you’re decently proficient. Now drill with resistance to truly develop the muscle memory. Do these 3 drills with you starting on the bottom: 1. Start in the dog fight position. Your partner is trying to escape. You’re trying to sweep or take the back. Reset if they escape or you succeed. Repeat. 2. Start on the bottom with you already having the underhook. Have the drill either to be only to get to your knees, or get to your knees and then sweep or take the back. Your partner's goal is to escape or pass. Reset if either succeed. 3. Start without an underhook. You’re fighting to get one. They’re fighting to pass. Either reset if you get an underhook, or keep going the whole way. Either resetting when you get to your knees, or when you sweep or take the back. Depending on your level of proficiency in jiu jitsu or the dog fight, 100% resistance from the top player may not be the best way to start the drill. Instead it may be best for them to slowly turn up the resistance as you go and become more proficient. You can dictate this by telling them how much resistance you want, or you can just let them gauge it. If you have no time to drill in class which is often the case, ask a partner to do live drill this with you instead of rolling a round or two. You can live drill this with them too with you on top or ask them if they want to drill something else.
12:30 another option for the body lock, here you can step out with your far leg and place it where, once it’s planted, you drive them towards the back. driving towards the side is where their base is, but toward the back there is no base. it’s in the details though right, so head positioning, tight body lock, and heavy hip pressure all play a part. i found sometimes if i drive towards the side, they can sweep me right back. drive toward the back though there is little to no momentum that they can generate to sweep me, and i usually end up in a good passing position. this vid is great btw. it’s the bread and butter of where i train and i think you really nailed everything u covered. like you said there’s so many other options for this move. edit: a must for this coyote or “leite guard”, u said it too, is the underhook.
My favorite system to use, my professor showed us the coyote guard about a year ago and I use it all the time it’s become my bread and butter for being a white belt haha
Such high quality production and informative content. As soon as a friend tells me they’ve started bjj I tell them to watch you because I feel like the way you cover larger concepts rather than individual techniques is so much more informative for people. I know it’s not much but I feel like you’ve brought me far more value than this.
Maybe coincidence or maybe my instructors saw this video, but we've been learning half guard wrestle ups, duck unders, back takes and whizzer counters this whole week at my gym. As a new white belt it's super awesome to be able to watch a video that reviews everything I just learned! 👊🥋 Thanks for all you do!
Great video I often get to this position but then get wrestled back down so very useful! I'd love to see a video on how to get on the offense from defensive turtle. Particularly when they get the front headlock. Keep up the good work, loved seeing the Roger clips 🐐
So much detail. The slow motion and multiple clips from different angles and rolls really make this stand out. I wish me instructionals were like this, but I understand how difficult and time consuming this must've been. Not to mention the graphics. Hats off to you, good sir, and thanks for such great content and insight to make us all better.
Phenomenal format. Please more instructional videos like this one. Having so many examples of the same position in live rolling with the different reactions and different highlights was immensely helpful.
I've been focusing on half guard for a while, watched long hours of Danaher, Schreiner, Lachlan, grapplers guide, etc. Still...some things just weren't clicking in rolls. So decided to grab your BJJ Fanatics half guard instructional and some the practical details you gave just made lightbulbs go off that didn't click from any of the other instructionals. Keep it up man. Appreciate the stuff you put out, and appreciate your low key humility too, refreshing.
I appreciate that a lot man! Always means a lot to me to hear I'm able to communicate jiujitsu effectively. I always try to keep it real too and I appreciate you noticing 🙂
Man I am gonna be studying this like homework. Half guard was my first love when playing guard and saved me from getting crushed more times than I can count. I strayed away for a bit, but now it's time to get back to basics
As an older out of shape person I always thought dogfight was too much of a battle needing strength. If you are hesitant for those reasons please give it a try. I now can't recommend it enough. A while ago I started going for it and it is now one of my favorites. You just outlined nearly everything I spent the last 8 months figuring out. I sure wish I saw this 8 months ago! Also, I have been missing the back take off the failed roll under so thank you! I will start immediately looking for that before they can reestablish the whizzer.
We use the dogfight a lot and I love it but naturally as a blue belt I’m garbage at it. This answered so many questions and problems I’ve had with it! Thank you! 🙌🏼
Glad to be a Patreon supporter, this video was so well done, keep it up Jordan! For those who benefit from it, please keep in mind it takes 40+ hours to make one video like this. Please consider a donation so Jordan can keep giving us quality Jiu-Jitsu videos
This is awesome. I have been using this system (chained together with deep half guard and Z guard) unknowingly for years 😅 I never studied it as a whole system. My game naturally developed from getting smashed consistently over the years. This video makes it quite easy to digest. I've picked up a few tips that will help me fine-tune my approach. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge, Jordan! You have no idea how much these videos have impacted my game.
Super appreciative of your videos, I've learned a ton. Your videos are the best I've found, and you are my go to first for learning technique. Your personality and style are terrific.
i feel like i always struggle as a new white belt at getting my positioning back once i lose it, I feel like this tutorial is gonna help a TON. thanks Jordan
Hey Jordan, thank you for making all these instructional videos. My son is 8 and I watch the videos so I can help him practice at home. He’s benefited a lot from these videos. Also, I did not realize how long it takes to make these and what UA-cam pays you for this!! What is the best way to donate to your channel?
I always love hearing when people watch these videos with their kids or use them to help their kids. 🙂. I appreciate the tip man! These really do take me an incredible amount of time to make. Seems like each video takes longer since I add more and more editing elements and am a big time perfectionist haha. You're the man 🙏
Started my training this week doing all things dog fight, this is a great tool to continue that education. Thank you! Your content is truly spectacular.
I got the bottom half guard vid a little while ago from Fanatics. I totally recommend it. Not too long; not too short. I've watched all three parts multiple times. The kimura sequences are so easy, and no one sees them coming, especially the kimura-to-armbar. I got the vid during a holiday sale, and it's worth every penny.
I play a lot of half guard - learned a lot of my game from Lachlan Giles' half guard anthology and J T Torres' materials. Even with that I learnt so much from yours so thank you, not only for sharing, but also for putting this up free of charge on UA-cam! I appreciate you. 🙏
Men your Jiu-Jitsu chanel is my favorite. The quality of your teaching is amazing. And shout out to the person behind the camera for mooving in the right spot at the right moment. Your video quality are amazing. Hope to have the chance to practice with you some day.
Amazing. Definitely gonna need to watch this many more times. Perfect timing too as we are doing top half guard passing in our gym. You're a life saver 👊
This is the best bjj instructional channel on UA-cam. You have great technique. Great useful content. Great camera work that catches the right angles to see what is going on. Last but not least is the voice overs calmly explaining everything I am seeing. Just brilliant! Thank you!
Lol love the honesty about monetized videos. You ain’t beggin bro. Enlightening people to the harsh reality that super douches have obscured over time by making flashy click bait bull shit videos and racking up millions of views. Super informative once again with the instructional. Keep it up man. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much for doing this. I purchased your BJJ fanatics instructional. I haven't watched it all, but throughly enjoy what I've already seen. Great job.
Thank you for this tutorial I’ve been using this now for a couple months now and has been helping my game immensely, especially against larger partners and also going into deep half rolling out the back or over them depending on what they give you.
Jordan, I love your stuff and I’d think about buying an instructional in the future (although not half-guard, I just got Lachlan’s about a month ago haha) but I’m wondering - do you go a bit slower? The only problem I have with your UA-cam videos is trying to keep up and fully understand what’s happening in each position/to make each movement happen.
I definitely make videos for the ADHD brain haha. A lot of information coming at you fast for sure. What I recommend is watching mulitple times or watching slowed down at .5 or .75 :)
This is one of the best half guard videos out there, and answered a lot of my questions as I've tried to improve this guard over the last year or so. Thank you very much!
This is a really cool system we learned a few months ago at my gym, and it REALLY increased my half guard sweeping abilities. There's a few details I've forgotten since then so thanks for the refresher. I'll have to revisit them.
@JordanTeachesJiujitsu I always forget about the arm shuck (we call it the limp arm), plus keeping the knee torque while rolling under, and a few of the details of off-balancing the opponent that can make all the difference against a higher level guy.
Love the content. Thanks so much! You’re videos are a bit fast for me so i just put them on slow speed and rewind a lot but my game has improved so much because of your well explained and demonstrated instruction. Can’t say enough good things. 🎉🎉
Watching this just before a session and our instructor coincidentally started teaching us this but his own version 😂 Same with last week I was watching your video on kimuras just before they were going to teach us
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu went great! Just bought your bottom half guard instructional on BJJFanatics, no discount code needed either! Very competitively priced!
Nice i was waiting for this video since you first forshadowed it in one of your fundamentals and concept video. Since i watch those in repeat it seems as if it was from long ago hehe. Thanks, you are an excellent teacher!
Thank you so much for your generosity Jordan. I listened to the podcast and was touched when you mentioned you didn't just want to make videos that you get high view counts but you want to share knowledge that is crucial, exactly what all of us BJJ students need, i wouldn't wanna watch flashy things that wouldn't help me improve my understanding of BJJ, it's connecting the dots that helps me appreciate what I've learnt.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge coach, I have bad shoulder so I have a hard time dealing with the whizzer. Saving your BJJ fanatics instruction, would love to buy it in the future.
Nice job! And these videos can't be too long so much good and concise stuff! Been studying some half guard for last two months and so much of it is in here!
This is such a great video and extremely helpful. I usually don’t like videos over 10 minutes. This is so helpful and informative, I don’t get bored watching. Keep it up! 👊🏻🤙🏻
Thank you for kind words man! I really appreciate them. I'm stoked I was able to hold your attention and hopefully my next videos will be like that too 🙂
@Jordan Teaches Jiujitsu Hi Jordan... worked the knee flair in open mat this weekend. I normally play my 1/2 guard with my partner high up (like you show) or transition to deep half. A couple times during rolls, my partner was pummelling for the far side underhook.... I used the Bernardo Faria type knee sheild (push-pull) to create space, went to a more standard knee sheild then flaired and went for the underhook. Thanks again, It worked well and seems to create extra momentum.
Awesome instructional with amazing production value and so much information packed in to 17 mins. I just bought “Jordan teaches half guard” when it was on sale and I prefer the way Jordan breaks things down slowly in it but I miss the slick production from this UA-cam channel.
Ya man, don't worry about it too much, as there's a lot of detail involved. Just watch, try to use it, figure out at which point you're making mistakes, and then re-watch to troubleshoot 🙂
Thank you! I'm happy you found it useful. Try it out on the mats and then come back, review and try again - you'll absorb and be able to use everything that way, guaranteed 🙂
Love this - really well communicated instructional with great details! Also super appreciate the service in raising awareness about some of the knee exploding position - dogfight positions for example can easily punish a stubborn or reckless grappler; the knee torque can be devastating.
can't wait to try the roll through! also I have a tourney coming up July 8th by grappling industries in Philly and I would love to know if you had a strength & conditioning circuit to help you prep cardio for fights or competitions?
Thanks! Great content. I have your half guard instructional video as well. As a big and strong (but slow) old guy, bottom half guard is a good position for me. I’ll be watching this video quite a few more times
That was a ton of info and as a new white belt it's going to take me 30 or 40 watches to get some of this stuff down. =D I know it's too late for *this* video of course, but for your next "how to do a system" tutorial, I feel like it might be more easily digestible (by people like me, anyway) if it's more cleanly broken up into a 3-part mini-series (getting you more like 3 videos for the effort of... say one and a half): 1) how to [coyote guard] 2) good/popular counters to someone attempting [coyote guard] 3) Most reliable ways to counter the counters that you mentioned in #2 (or what to transition to instead if they seal it off, leaving some other opening) The current incarnation of The Algorithm apparently prefers 2-3 videos per week and so I feel like this would be a win-win for you, but even if you hate my suggestion I'm going to keep watching your videos because they're killer.
Ya for sure. I totally get what you're saying. I actually knew this one wouldn't get a lot of views just based off the subject matter but I wanted to do it anyways and I like to be thorough lol. I'll try to make it feel better broken up next time. My pacing has definitely gotten better but there's always room for improvement 🙂
So much good stuff. This has been an underdeveloped part of my lockdown game, getting up to dogfight. Looking forward to drilling this and using it live. Thank you.

Thanks a lot, Jordan! Your content is sooo valuable!!!!
@@robtangled8816 I appreciate that very much!
This has helped my half guard bottom loads. Cheers Jordan. I'm sometimes getting guillotined when getting the under hook what am I doing wrong.

i found sometimes if i drive towards the side, they can sweep me right back. drive toward the back though there is little to no momentum that they can generate to sweep me, and i usually end up in a good passing position.
this vid is great btw. it’s the bread and butter of where i train and i think you really nailed everything u covered. like you said there’s so many other options for this move.
edit: a must for this coyote or “leite guard”, u said it too, is the underhook.
This is so amazing thank you!
+1 For UA-cam paying pennies
Overdue for gym raid i think. Would love to see that!
Gotta go longer format, that is where you get paid most
So fire. I've been working these moves, more individually, this made it very simple for me to understand how to link them more smoothly. 🤜🤛
@@Brad9987 17 minutes is a pretty long utub video already (and its concise). How much longer do you have to get?
My favorite system to use, my professor showed us the coyote guard about a year ago and I use it all the time it’s become my bread and butter for being a white belt haha
I found with my Wrestling background it really happened naturally being a position I am super comfortable in as a 40 yo white belt!

That's so awesome from you man, thank you a lot! I really appreciate it 👊 And thank you for the kind words as well 🙂
I always recommend Jordan also. I usually send links to his youtube videos to anyone just starting out
@@ac2jonesI was thinking the same but I like to keep Jordan's video as a secret tool in my back pocket.
Maybe coincidence or maybe my instructors saw this video, but we've been learning half guard wrestle ups, duck unders, back takes and whizzer counters this whole week at my gym.

Thanks man! I appreciate it 👊
Thanks! I've been playing around with this in my game lately. This video has given me great pointers for where I can improve.
Glad to help! Thanks for the super thanks!
Phenomenal format. Please more instructional videos like this one. Having so many examples of the same position in live rolling with the different reactions and different highlights was immensely helpful.
Excellent explanation Jordan, I love the way you breakdown and explain concepts and techniques, thank you so much
I appreciate that! Means a lot to me that people enjoy my teaching. Thank you!
Appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos Jordan 🙏🏽
My pleasure, David, and thank you for your support! 🙏
I've been focusing on half guard for a while, watched long hours of Danaher, Schreiner, Lachlan, grapplers guide, etc. Still...some things just weren't clicking in rolls.

Thanks! 🙂
One of your best videos for sure Jordan! Thank you brother

Absolutely insane stuff, I was looking exactly for half guard instructions, and this comes at the best time!
Great timing!!
Bro, this is gold. I’m gonna watch this about a dozen more times to soak in all this info. Thank you!!
Btw, just got my blue belt a few weeks ago!!
Same
Thanks man and congrats on the blue belt!
Love your content. I know how much time goes into making something so quick and concise. Will be working my way through your vids.
I got the bottom half guard vid a little while ago from Fanatics. I totally recommend it. Not too long; not too short. I've watched all three parts multiple times. The kimura sequences are so easy, and no one sees them coming, especially the kimura-to-armbar. I got the vid during a holiday sale, and it's worth every penny.

I've been focusing on an "all roads lead to the back" mentality, so this should incorporate nicely.
👊
insanely high quality instruction, Jordan. Thank you.

Thanks man! I appreciate it. And yepp, the "camera crew" is doing an awesome job haha 🙂
Thanks! Videos are extremely helpful for a new white belt
Amazing. Definitely gonna need to watch this many more times. Perfect timing too as we are doing top half guard passing in our gym. You're a life saver 👊
That's great! Let me know how it went with using the stuff from the video in training 🙂

Merci! 🙂
Thank you for this tutorial I’ve been using this now for a couple months now and has been helping my game immensely, especially against larger partners and also going into deep half rolling out the back or over them depending on what they give you.
Gold! Thank you. I'm always reluctant to enter a dogfight, but this gives me some confidence.
Ready to level up my game with the dog fight/coyote technique! specifically going to try and work on off-balancing my opponent to free up my leg.
Great! Let me know how it goes 🙂

Love the content. Thanks so much! You’re videos are a bit fast for me so i just put them on slow speed and rewind a lot but my game has improved so much because of your well explained and demonstrated instruction. Can’t say enough good things. 🎉🎉
Thanks for the kind words and for the feedback! Always trying to improve. I hope you'll enjoy my upcoming content even more. 🙂
Great instructional! Definitely going to be incorporating this into my half guard game. Thanks Jordan!
You're welcome 🙏 Let me know how it goes 🙂
Watching this just before a session and our instructor coincidentally started teaching us this but his own version 😂
Same with last week I was watching your video on kimuras just before they were going to teach us
Its clear, precise and extremely understanding listening to this guy and his concepts. Much appreciation, I think i can do this shxt.
Another absolutely golden video. Thanks!
Beautifully condensed
Thanks! 👊
Literally this will be my technique of the week! Love it, was doing your kimura,armbar from mount combinations last week
Awesome man! Let me know how it went 🙂
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu went great! Just bought your bottom half guard instructional on BJJFanatics, no discount code needed either! Very competitively priced!
Nice i was waiting for this video since you first forshadowed it in one of your fundamentals and concept video. Since i watch those in repeat it seems as if it was from long ago hehe. Thanks, you are an excellent teacher!
I really appreciate that! I'm glad to could finally deliver. Went all out and made it 17 mins because I wanted to be thorough :)
Thank you so much for your generosity Jordan. I listened to the podcast and was touched when you mentioned you didn't just want to make videos that you get high view counts but you want to share knowledge that is crucial, exactly what all of us BJJ students need, i wouldn't wanna watch flashy things that wouldn't help me improve my understanding of BJJ, it's connecting the dots that helps me appreciate what I've learnt.
I appreciate it man. Ya, that's what it is all about, providing real value and knowledge 🙂
Outstanding!! Loved the content, presentation and pace. The sections give good breaks to go back and review. Hope to see more in this fashion 🙏
Thanks Chris and ya, more like this definitely coming your way 🙂
Thanks for sharing your knowledge coach, I have bad shoulder so I have a hard time dealing with the whizzer. Saving your BJJ fanatics instruction, would love to buy it in the future.
Thank you for the kind words and support man! I appreciate it. Hope that my Instructional will be of use 👊
Nice job! And these videos can't be too long so much good and concise stuff! Been studying some half guard for last two months and so much of it is in here!
Thanks, Chris! It's all in the details 🙂
❤ my favorite sweep, thanks for the breakdown and details.
You're welcome man 🙏
Excellent information. I was really looking for this just when you came out with this video.
Glad it was helpful! 👊
Thanks! The concepts in your videos have helped me improve my game super fast! Looking forward to the BJJ concepts instructional
Thank you, Travis, I really appreciate that! Looking forward to launching it, too haha 🙂
This is such a great video and extremely helpful. I usually don’t like videos over 10 minutes. This is so helpful and informative, I don’t get bored watching. Keep it up! 👊🏻🤙🏻
Thank you for kind words man! I really appreciate them. I'm stoked I was able to hold your attention and hopefully my next videos will be like that too 🙂
Thank you so much, this instructional is great. Hopefully the algorithm bumps this vid
Thanks man and I hope so too! Glad it's been of use to you 🙂
Great video. Thanks! I play this alot, and really like the detail of flairing the knee when going for the underhook.... I am adding that now.
Thanks man 🙏 Let me know how it went implementing the detail 🙂
@Jordan Teaches Jiujitsu
Hi Jordan... worked the knee flair in open mat this weekend. I normally play my 1/2 guard with my partner high up (like you show) or transition to deep half.
A couple times during rolls, my partner was pummelling for the far side underhook.... I used the Bernardo Faria type knee sheild (push-pull) to create space, went to a more standard knee sheild then flaired and went for the underhook.
Thanks again, It worked well and seems to create extra momentum.
Great video. Rich with information, organized well and really high quality production. Thank you for it 💪
No gi appears more intense but still very fun. Thanks for the informative video man!🤜🏼
👊
Awesome instructional with amazing production value and so much information packed in to 17 mins. I just bought “Jordan teaches half guard” when it was on sale and I prefer the way Jordan breaks things down slowly in it but I miss the slick production from this UA-cam channel.
Thanks for the support man 🙂 There'll be more instructionals coming soon and I'm happy to say that you'll enjoy the production much more 🙂
Awesome, I’ll keep my eye on BJJFanatics for the new releases.
Great video. I'll have to review it as it feels pretty high level. As a new blue belt I still got some great tips. Thank you!
Ya man, don't worry about it too much, as there's a lot of detail involved. Just watch, try to use it, figure out at which point you're making mistakes, and then re-watch to troubleshoot 🙂
This was REALLY worth the wait. Thank you! 🙏
Thank you 🙏
so much valuable information - gotta watch this a few times to really absorb everything! solid video
Thank you! I'm happy you found it useful. Try it out on the mats and then come back, review and try again - you'll absorb and be able to use everything that way, guaranteed 🙂
Thanx, that's my favourite guard and sweeps
Great, man! Hope it will be useful 🙂
Love this - really well communicated instructional with great details! Also super appreciate the service in raising awareness about some of the knee exploding position - dogfight positions for example can easily punish a stubborn or reckless grappler; the knee torque can be devastating.
I appreciate the comment man, thanks! Glad you've enjoyed it - and yepp, you need to watch out for that knee torque for sure!
Thank you, Jordan, for posting another great video!
Ah, figured out how to send “thanks”! Keep up the great work!
🙏
can't wait to try the roll through! also I have a tourney coming up July 8th by grappling industries in Philly and I would love to know if you had a strength & conditioning circuit to help you prep cardio for fights or competitions?
Fantastic. Thanks Jordan.
Hell yeah, thanks Jordan!
Thanks! I love your videos. Please keep them coming.
Thank you! I will 🙂
Amazingly well done video, it broke down everything you need to know
Thank you! 🙏
This is a really familiar position for me as a wrestler so I'm pretty excited about this
🙏
One of the best UA-cam channels
The editing is amazing and the instructionals are top tier.
Thanks man! I appreciate it 🙏
Thanks! Great content. I have your half guard instructional video as well. As a big and strong (but slow) old guy, bottom half guard is a good position for me. I’ll be watching this video quite a few more times
Thanks for the kind words and support man, I appreciate it 🙏 Bottom Half Guard is such a great and versatile position 🙂
Really wish I knew this yesterday when I had a black belt in this position but had no idea what to do. Thanks bro!
Haha, there'll be more opportunities for sure! Let me know how it went 🙂
That was a ton of info and as a new white belt it's going to take me 30 or 40 watches to get some of this stuff down. =D
I know it's too late for *this* video of course, but for your next "how to do a system" tutorial, I feel like it might be more easily digestible (by people like me, anyway) if it's more cleanly broken up into a 3-part mini-series (getting you more like 3 videos for the effort of... say one and a half):
1) how to [coyote guard]
2) good/popular counters to someone attempting [coyote guard]
3) Most reliable ways to counter the counters that you mentioned in #2 (or what to transition to instead if they seal it off, leaving some other opening)
The current incarnation of The Algorithm apparently prefers 2-3 videos per week and so I feel like this would be a win-win for you, but even if you hate my suggestion I'm going to keep watching your videos because they're killer.
Ya for sure. I totally get what you're saying. I actually knew this one wouldn't get a lot of views just based off the subject matter but I wanted to do it anyways and I like to be thorough lol. I'll try to make it feel better broken up next time. My pacing has definitely gotten better but there's always room for improvement 🙂
So much good stuff. This has been an underdeveloped part of my lockdown game, getting up to dogfight. Looking forward to drilling this and using it live. Thank you.
Let me know how it went in training man, I am confident you will find it useful immediately 🙂
I need to work on this, I'm very creative with my deep half X guard setup
Nice 🙏 Do let me know how it goes man 🙂
Awesome video. Just awesome. Thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the hard work that went into this!
And thank you for watching 🙂
Excellent lesson, thank you! This video is packed with information, and the hard work shows. Thanks again for putting out well-taught content.
Thanks for the kind words man!
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu you have really help improve my jiu jitsu, thank you!
