This course was 100% worth it - my retention and passing is improving greatly thanks to how easy it is to apply these theories in the moment. Amazing content Jordan, my son and I thank you!
I've always felt that i learn 10X better when given concepts than just knowing how to do certain mechanics. Like said, it gives u allot more room to think about what you already know and how you want to you use something. And just gives your current thought process some creativity to work with.
Came here to say this exact thing! Its one thing to just learn a whole bunch of moves, but to be able to group them together under different conceptual umbrellas and start to see a bigger picture. Undertstanding not only WHAT I am doing but WHY I am doing it. I am headed to Nogi class in a half hour or so and I am going to make it a goal to think in these terms today as I attempt to pass guards as well as try to keep my guard from being passed!
I love your teaching style regarding concepts. Your concepts of inside positions, t-Rex arms, sweeps, etc have been SOO helpful. Thank you so much man!
Yeah baby! Broken down into blocks I can build with. I can think about these principles/concepts easily while flow rolling and during train rounds. Thank you again for crafting another great instructional. You are emerging as a unique form of BJJ video instruction that I believe will accelerate the learning curve for so many.
This is so helpful. I’m A 3 month white belt and I’ve been battling this with my rolls. These concepts explain exactly what I’m struggling with and how to work on them. Thanks Jordan.
Thank you so much I’ve learned that technique works but you always have to adjust to what your opponents give you but principles never change thank you big brother Oss !
Literally was thinking earlier today I wish Jordan had a guard passing conceptual video. About to start training again after a few months away, and I knew I wanted to focus on my guard passing.
Love these videos and concepts because I can learn offense and defense at the same time. Wanna pass the guard? Don't let their feet touch you. Don't want someone to pass your guard? Keep your feet on your opponent! Concepts are so helpful 👊
This is actually the best instructional I've seen. So many people learn guard passes by rote. But interestingly all of this can be reversed as advice - keep your frames pointing at your opponent, keep your feet on them etc.
Yesssssss! Understanding objectives first not only makes learning individual techniques easier later on, but will also help you realize what you're doing wrong when you inevitably have to troubleshoot them later on.
The way you breakdown extremely detailed concepts into a higher grouped chunks of information makes it so easily digestible. Whenever I roll I use these chunks of information you've taught prior like "never let someone hold your head" and my training partners say I'm really annoying to roll with now because my defense is solid. Breaking things down into these chunks correlates a bunch of things into presuppositions for niched aspects of BJJ.
Thanks man. I really feel BJJ is simpler than people make it out to be. I think a lot of people unintentionally gate keep it by making it so confusing. Glad to help people understand the objectives easier 🙏👊
I get 1% better with every video I watch you put out. I'd much rather approach thinking about passing guard with a concept in mind instead of trying to memorize a technique. Great material as usual Jordan, thank you for your contributions to my jiu jitsu journey.
Watched this video then literally headed straight to class 30 mins later. Used these principles and flow with my coach, (who was going easy on me of course) and was able to surprise him a few times. A+ for videos like this that focus on Jits concepts rather than flashy techniques. There's enough technique vids on the internet and gram, but this material is the valuable stuff.
I love the clear definitions you present, as well as the superb video angles and explanations that go along with them. Very helpful for new practitioners.
I learn a ton from your channel! Learning concepts makes things so much easier to digest and remember, and seeing live rolling examples really reenforces how everything works. Thank you!
I really enjoy your commentary. It is to the point with enough information to keep things flowing. The video is fresh and plenty of examples. Excellent video. 😊
I really appreciate the conceptual approach! I don't get to mat time as often as I'd like, and the conceptual approach makes it much easier to know what to work on when I have the opportunity. Please more conceptual content!
This is brilliant. Concepts rather than techniques are much easier to work with as a newer student of BJJ. There's so many techniques to learn that it's easier to work with concepts and then apply techniques as you learn them. More of these pls Jordan
I did my first comp this week end (Grapp Industries) and achieved a 2nd place in a bracket with 28 ppl by building my game mostly on your vids and concepts. Being french, it helps 'cause you're kinda resource I have others don't, because of the language boundaries lmao. Keep posting, you're so so useful for the BJJ community.
Thank you, Jordan. These concept/objective videos provide so much information. And because you explained the objective so well, I learned what to do to pass and also what to do to prevent a pass. Great work, as usual!
His new theory course is absolutely an amazing work of beauty 👏 His teaching style and concepts are so logical Nd easy to follow. You simply have no choice but to learn, and you will learn fast, I should add. Much respect 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! I just started a few weeks ago and i love learning about theory. It makes more sense to me right now then specific moves. I like how you explain the goals or objective of each technique. I think people throw these words around a lot but it doesn’t mean anything without context.
Absolutely love the conceptual stuff as opposed to specific techniques. This is so helpful as a 6month white belt. I also totally relate when you talk about adhd and information basically going in one ear and out other. And its even worse when I really try to focus. Concept based teaching makes the whole process seem potentially manageable
Thanks man! I'm glad so many people resonate with. Everyone gets to benefit from my fucked up ADHD brain Hahaha. Worth it though and glad you enjoy it!
Thank you Jordan, I will be learning alot from your teaching. It has been 12 years since I trained in bjj and I had that old fire light up recently. Well done with the information in your videos, I have been through a few of your other videos already and I am grateful to have found your channel.
Last 2 videos have been so applicable to me personally! I'm a white belt about to participate in my first tournament and the area I want to work on most is guard passing! Thank you so much for all the content!
I love this approach to learning. For my job, for my hobbies, I am a big fan of the 'know why you are doing a technique' and for me, it almost always really accelerates my progression. That being said, when I am learning guitar, no one is trying to kill me. There is the concept, of which I buy into fully, that when the poop hits the fan you will revert to your lowest level of training. You will never rise to the occasion, you will fall to what you have practiced and what you body and subconscious can do for you while your conscious mind is preoccupied with not pooping yourself. How does this jive with 'concept over technique'?
Excellent. The conceptual approach I was able to translate immediately into better passing. It will serve as the skeleton for details to hang on later. Looking forward to more of the same applied to the different areas of jiu jitsu 🙏 🙏
OMG! This makes so much sense!, and makes it so much to easier to recognise and apply. Although I had to pause and re watch a few times, but this is amazing! Thanks for the content!
Hi Jordan! Love the approach of teaching concepts - it really helped me a lot with my game. I would love to see the same "concept video" about working from open/closed guard and half guard/knee shield - how to establish good defense and how to recognise opponents mistake that I can use to my advantage. Thanks for great content!
It's crazy what you are doing, man. The highest quality useful videos free for everyone! My deepest respect and gratitude to you! Your videos have impacted my overall BJJ practice and also introduced to my favorite choke: Ezekiel. Wish you all the best! Hope I'll have the opportunity to attend a class or two in your gym one day.
This clicked some insights i needed... been having a lot of trouble with training partners guard, and i dont seem to be improving. Will work hard at focusing on these concepts during our rolls from now on.
Thanks man I do but I'll never get tired of it haha. Only because these videos take so much effort that I really appreciate how much everyone shows their appreciation 🙂
Definitely the best bjj UA-cam channel out right now, learnt so much from your videos, and I’m definitely a person that learns more from concepts rather than technique and sequence. I listen to all of your podcasts as well 👆 From New Zealand 🇳🇿
Jordan, these videos are gold thank you for your efforts to better the bjj community. Also either I’m learning Canadian or you are slowing down a bit. Much appreciated 😂
I would also like to see an conceptional approach to holding your guard. Like, what to look out for, what grips to prepare in case of, how to transition, how to prepare the many transitional options and so on. That would help I guess.
This is such a dope video. So helpful for me since I don’t have a school right now and just doing trails classes. Lol Shit like this makes it easy to learn and understand techniques. Concept videos are the best. An instructor told me I let myself get dominated too much with the gripping exchanges but it’s mostly just cause I never know a direction to go with my grips specifically mostly with playing guard and stand up. This for Standup would be dope. Would be the best series on UA-cam
Thanks man! Ya I agree, it's really important to know the objectives, much more so than the details themselves. I'll have to make a dedicated grips and standup video/series for sure 👊

I wish bjj schools taught principles first. Another great one, thank you!
Me too! Seriously puzzles me why these types of things are so rarely taught.
Agreed!
Try the 32 Principles by Gracie University. Haven’t checked it out myself, but I imagine that’s a great place to start.
I always get excited when I see the notification that Jordan has uploaded a new video! You're killing it at the moment bro 👊
Thanks man 👊
I feel the same way! Thank you Jordan for your hard work
@@willsault3924😊p0😊❤
I love your teaching style regarding concepts. Your concepts of inside positions, t-Rex arms, sweeps, etc have been SOO helpful. Thank you so much man!
100% same for me
Thanks guys! Wait until you see the theory course. Every concept you'll ever need 🙂
@JordanTeachesJiujitsu When does your theory course come out?
@@Reubengotgame should be out early to mid April. My friend @kieren_lefevre is coming down from Australia to help me finish it 🙌

You are the best instructor of bjj in my opinion, hands down. Please keep this coming.

This is actually the best instructional I've seen. So many people learn guard passes by rote. But interestingly all of this can be reversed as advice - keep your frames pointing at your opponent, keep your feet on them etc.
I appreciate that! and exactly it can be reversed engineered so easily for guard retention and attacking.
Conceptual teaching is the way. Take my money!
You're the best! Thank you!!
SO MUCH INFO! I will have to watch and rewatch multiple times.
Awesome content! God Bless! Keep it up!
Thanks man! Glad you find it useful 🙏👊
My newsletter is packed with conceptual advice! Check it out:: subscribepage.io/jordanteachesjiujitsu-newsletter
Yesssssss! Understanding objectives first not only makes learning individual techniques easier later on, but will also help you realize what you're doing wrong when you inevitably have to troubleshoot them later on.
Exactly! To me techniques are the how, and concepts are the why. When you know the way, it makes the how easier.

My thoughts exactly man. And ya for sure, more videos on concepts coming up soon 🙂
Thanks for making these so easy to understand and gain the concepts of.
My pleasure!
New to jiu-jitsu and loving the theory videos you have. Helps to offset my limited knowledge of techniques as a new white belt.
Thanks!
I appreciate the super thanks! Thank you!
Really think these videos make me better. The newsletter is so helpful too!!

Watching youtube at bjj practise, passing peoples guard phone in hand ,💪
Same
Thanks again. It was very helpful in understanding how my guard has been passed by more experienced players.
Happy to help!
Thank you Jordan, I will be learning alot from your teaching. It has been 12 years since I trained in bjj and I had that old fire light up recently. Well done with the information in your videos, I have been through a few of your other videos already and I am grateful to have found your channel.

Nice addition, top quality. Already on loop to go and try those info on the old bastard i train with. Can't wait!!

Agreed. Thanks!
Excellent. The conceptual approach I was able to translate immediately into better passing. It will serve as the skeleton for details to hang on later. Looking forward to more of the same applied to the different areas of jiu jitsu 🙏 🙏
Great video. Man at this point I consider you a BJJ mentor. Never seen such a great explanation of basic concepts.
OMG! This makes so much sense!, and makes it so much to easier to recognise and apply. Although I had to pause and re watch a few times, but this is amazing! Thanks for the content!

You're welcome - and thank you! 🙏
Thank you! looking forward to the new letters and more concept videos.
I'm looking forward to making more! :) Thanks!

Perfect! Should give you a heads start 👊
Love this theoretical approach to learning please keep making these!
Love this kind of theory vid! Also why I like John Danaher's vids, cuz it's techniques and theory combined. This stuff lets you go deeper faster
100%. Thanks man!

Seriously man, thank you for making these videos.
I’m a no stripe white belt starting really late, so I’m glad a found this channel. It’s helped a ton.
Awesome job on starting man, not a lot of people have the "courage" to do so in later years. Glad my video's helped you out! 🙏

Wrestler here. Just finished my 2nd class. As someone who is very literal and biomechanic when I logically think about things this video was top tier.

This approach of principle-based Jiu-Jitsu works really well for me.
Principal based is the way 🙌
Just what I needed, my passing deffo needs improvement!
Please keep doing videos like these!! They are amazing
I will for sure! More like this one coming up 🙏
It's pretty clear from every video you put out that I need more of these videos :P
