- The principle of side tilt in jiu jitsu is one of the most important to understand. To ever pass the guard you need to be able to pin your opponents hips and by staying on your side intially, you make passing harder as well as increase your opportunity for offense. Additionally understanding this makes your goals in passing much more clear as well.

Why: "Because it's much easier to pivot and rotate since there is only one point of contact on the mat." This really made sense to me, Jon! Thank you. Also, I like this video format slightly more since it caters to advanced players who just need to see an example and to novice players who need more of a thorough breakdown. Either way this format should make it easier for you to do less editing over time which will increase the amount of content you can produce!
Yeah exactly I can focus on the talking component and explaining and I am starting to have some help me with editing so they can add in reference videos and examples.
This kind of BJJ principle videos are extremely helpful even for senior level blackbelts... Keep them coming, Jon... Many thanks!
Yeah they really help you in so many other positions. Hope this one makes a big difference for you!
I really appreciate your principal driven, holistic approach to jujitsu. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot it’s fun for me to break down and challenges me to learn and evolve my own understanding.
I really loved this video, often watching videos you don't retain much information, but this was very well explained and easy to grasp.
Narrating over the examples and perhaps narrating live rolls helps me a lot. Thanks for what you do for the BJJ community.
I get so much more from your concept and principle videos, opposed to watching tutorials or how to do this sweep or that submission. You tube is full of “how to” videos but I prefer more of these “why too” and “when to” clips.
Great content!
Great concept! Bloopers are my fave. I like this new format. I vote for it's continued use + bloopers 😎
The bloopers will be continuing, there are plenty of them to be posted lol
This is a good format. It allows for more a context and details. It’s an excellent supplement to the mat videos for technique instruction.
this format is actually really helpful.
This format is awesome brother! I prefer concepts explain in this format. Thank you.
I liked this new format of talking through the concept while using the video as examples
I like it all.... this was another thing I thought I knew, but but had less of an understanding than I thought and is something I want to intionally focus on making sure I'm doing
When you deeply integrate it into your game it makes a tremendous difference!
The illustration of your talking points with film helps a lot! Thank you!
Thanks it is a great tool for me to be able to make more valuable talking content.
Love your general principle oriented content which is fantastic for developing a systematic understanding of bjj. Lovelovelove ❤!
I really like this style of video! Super helpful to have the different examples as you’re talking
I'm a new white belt, and this "bjj concept" videos are the most useful I've ever seen. Thanks man.
Very helpful, thank you.. I find these videos talking about principals especially helpful.
This is gold.
I love these videos, especially for when I can't be watching it the whole time and have to listen to audio
Yeah I’m trying to make them a bit more pure watchable
I really liked this format for the video! Made it easy to follow your examples and it had a great vibe.
Good job! :)
Appreciate it! Think I should add background music or leave it as is?
@@JonThomasBJJ I think that would make a great flavour and vibe for the video. :) I played some background music from Spotify while running the video right now, and it turned out very good. I think that would be great to add some music to your videoes for sure!
You really explain Bjj moves very well! Great understanding of the body mechanics involved. Keep it up.... MB 62 yr old BJJ black belt
Normally this information is given in Private Lessons or Seminars, Professor Thomas just gives it for free. This is free gold!
Well doing it this way effects a lot more people so it has been great to share and see how it affects people.
Your content is so immediately applicable and relevant. Concepts explained through techniques in sparring clips is very helpful, i wish i could reference the material on the mat. At my school, i had two big ass flat screens mounted up high above the mirrors -i wish i had these insightful lessons playing during open mat. I know it sounds ridiculous and nothing against the people i work with presently, but i just want to improve like everyone does. People who criticize that are full of shit. I can be my own person and develop my own style ... but having clear guidance can up my game and progress me way faster than having to figure these things out on my own. Sure, i would eventually learn these things through experience but some of us dont have 40 years left to gain so much insight. Thank you, sincerely, for all the incredible work your putting into these lessons. Your students are lucky to get to train with you. OSS!
Thank you. I love your information distribution and organization.
What a fantastic teacher! Keep teaching bro your good at what you do
Thanks so much! Encouraging to have all the support!
This is pure gold.
I really, really like this format.
Content is on Point.
Great for Us old guys on the mats, great info as always Sir, Looking forward to learning from You face to face in March again. ❤
this style of video is brilliant!
This is the highest quality instructional content I know of for BJJ
Thanks so much buddy means a lot! Just gonna keep working harder to be better at the videos and always evolving the craft
These types of videos are the best! It would work with just you talking as well, but editing it with rolling/comp clips makes it next level
Thanks trying to do more talking videos about big ideas then use reference video like this to help give context
Man it came out great! Felt super silly at times when we recorded certain things 🤣 but you've edited it really smooth and professional!
Both are good and beneficial. Mixing it up also helps us (the audience) against becoming bored with the monotony of the same-style videos, even though we may still be super interested in the content.
Yeah I think it needs to have diversity in style of video. Really gonna work hard on UA-cam in 2023!
I enjoy your content. Do more videos at home! I keep getting stuck in closed guard however I haven’t seen that you use the close guard much. I’m guessing you’ve evolved.
Closed guard is great! Always like using it. I have an older video on opening closed guard it’s worth checking out
It's nice to have an overall explanation of the concept 😁😁
Thanks happy you enjoyed it
This is a great format I would watch more!
Will be doing more soon!
It never fails Jon, your videos transform my game tremendously, just by changing how I see the game. I wish I knew this concept years ago! Mindblowing stuff!
I wish I knew it too! Some of these small ideas have such powerful effects on so many components of your game.
Thank you! That is amazing and very useful. Such videos are more important then technical details. Go on, please.
Yeah principle are the best! Just hard to consistently discover new ones, sometimes takes months of training to discover one major key idea like this.
I like all the content... and this new format is great. You should do a patreon so people can contribute monthly (or whatever).
I might set one up, will let everyone know if I do. For right now I have a website if anyone want to support I have plenty of products and offers on there as well
These concept videos are extremely helpful
Thanks! More coming!
I think I had been doing this some but didn't realize about the changing pivot points being a key for sweeps. There were definitely times where I was flat and felt I couldn't really get someone off balance.
Definitely going to try to focus on this more.
This was a great format
Thank you, this was a very useful concept and explanation.
I’m a fan of this format!
Thanks for letting me know!
I love this format 👍 thank you sir for your great knowledge
I really appreciate your content. Being able to articulate concepts is so important. In my opinion one of the most important aspects to learning and developing your own style. Keep up the good work on your channel.
Means so much to have this level of support! Thank you so much!
I used to think that in De La Riva, everything was about distance and straightening the legs but keeping the knees close to the body is super useful.
Thanks for sharing.
Both distance and side tilt matter a lot for dlr. if you are too close it can be hard to get the hook strong as well. Sometimes you just can’t get the hook then going to hip or key master is great option
Thanks brother , really appreciate your videos
I love this format of video. You are able to focus on the concept you want to get across during and after shooting the clips versus having to get both the narrative and the clip correct.
Thank you for all the content you create for the jiu-jitsu community. I've benefited greatly and look forward to meeting you next time your in Vancouver Canada
Looking forward to next Vancouver trip as well!
Love hands on vids like this
Excellent break down. Thx!
No problem!
I really like these concept videos.
Thanks buddy! They are fun to make!
Thanks Jon, really enjoy your content and found this format extremely useful to better understand guard passing and retention mechanics 👍🏻
🔥🔥🔥🔥🥋🏆 I use this concept so much and it has saved me in getting my guard smashed for so long! Love your teaching & content! Thanks so much ossa
Thanks buddy, and happy to hear the content has made a difference!
we thank you Jon
Appreciate buddy!
I liked this format.

This video is awesome man, great work 🔥
Thanks so much!!
Great video! Thank you!

Love this! Thank you!
Happy you loved it! More soon!
Thanks! This is gold!
No problem! Thank you!
Really awesome.
Principle driven learning with examples are the way to go!
Much appreciated!
No problem happy to make the video! Will be doing more like this soon!
I love both types of video you do but if I had to chose, it would be this style
Will do both but definitely focusing on this kind the most!
I love principles. I was terrible until I could start thinking about bjj and life in this context
Yeah I spent a lot of time just trying to learn patterns but digging deep for big principles really took my game to next level
Super helpful. Thanks!
No problem happy to help!
Super helpful information. Thank you
Appreciate the support!
"one of those Rolandos" 🤣🤣
Awesome! Awesome! Work
Thank you so much!
More please
This is way helpful and a great set up for the mat stuff. Thanks
Thanks buddy! Gonna try to do a good mix of mat videos and these kind. I think with mat video it’s easier to be quick and concise these are useful for longer principle type videos.
great content, as usual
Thanks a lot! Happy you liked it!
A+ content
this is a great video!
Thanks so much buddy!
Excellent!
Thank you!
I like this mode
Love principles!
Me too!
Many thanks.
Happy to help!
Thank you for your great explanation.
No problem happy you found it helpful!
love your content always thank you professor
Really appreciate it! Always trying to evolve the format and quality
Thank you for your work!
No problem buddy happy you have been enjoying it!
Great video
Thank you!
Thank you
Happy to help!
Really good stuff, it's like the Defensive BJJ "Baby Bridge" position (I think Priit gave you credit for this)
That’s cool to hear! Realistically people have been doing this in jiu jitsu for decades it’s just something that a lot of people don’t think about or haven’t really talked about in great depth, but I think trying to break these things down to a deeper level helps you understand what your broad goal is when rolling.
Great video. I went to leave a tip but that option isn't there. I think it is usually a money heart that says thanks.
Appreciate it buddy! I will see what I can about leaving that as an option. Appreciate the support!

Really appreciate your content. However, I recall about 3y ago in discussion with BJJ Mental models, you seemed to strongly push back agains the use of “principals” or similar general concepts in BJJ. Can you point me to a video where you discuss how you changed your mind? Or perhaps just use the terms differently?
I mean no disrespect. I recall not really agreeing with you at the time but also seeing your point and finding it valid. How do you think about these things now and do you see it as different from say 2-5y ago?
I like both formats, but on a personal note I prefer this format because I am hard of hearing. I find Videos that have been shot in a gym can be difficult to follow because of the acoustics, something that has been filmed then dubbed over is much easier to understand.
Great feed back really appreciate it! Will definitely be doing more like this soon!
@@JonThomasBJJ having said that…. I recently subscribed to your channel and I find I can hear the videos you’ve filmed in the gym just fine because you’ve cared enough to invest in decent recording equipment. I wish this was the norm rather than the exception for BJJ videos on UA-cam,and I really appreciate it. Most gym videos on UA-cam sound like they were recording at the bottom of a sinkhole and it’s refreshing to find ones that don’t.
Great video.. I really liked the format, and the conceptual stuff..
Ronaldo Samson 🤣
Lol I felt bad just brain disappeared at that part
Why bjj nerds always look like this 😂
I really really like this. I find principles to be a lot more helpful lately than anything else and much easier to learn and share.
You have a fantastic combination of teaching principles and techniques. I also like how you teach the concept/technique from both the offensive and defensive perspectives - very helpful! Thank you!
No problem! With this one it was fun because there is so many aspects to it worth sharing.
Gold
Appreciate it!
Your content is phenomenal. We’re lucky to have you.
Thanks so much! Means a lot to have the support. The channel has really changed my life so much. So as much as I help you guys I thank you back
Agreed.
The vast majority of jiu jitsu videos on UA-cam are borderline insulting to even a novice level practitioner's intelligence. This absolutely includes black belt "instructors." There is almost always a clear lack of understanding of the technique shown, not even a clue of the underlying principles and/or it's just something being regurgitated (poorly) for the 1000th time. This video is not that!! Your presentation is insightful, useful, original and you clearly have an understanding of the underlying principles. I especially enjoyed how you explained it from both player's perspective. The format was informative as well, i appreciate the examples that were given along with the explanation. Thank you so much for sharing. Liked, saved, subscribed!!
Really appreciate this content - got a new baby so not able to train. Looking forward to applying this!
Very cool video. I like the format. learning a single principle often trumps many single techniques.
Yeah absolutely principles are so powerful! Just takes a long time to distill then down into some small digestible ideas like this. So when I find one I like to drop it in a high quality way
