I’m auctioning 1-on-1 online BJJ lessons! Win a lesson on either general rolling, guard passing, or guard retention - by bidding on this auction link: www.bidntoken.com/r.html?b=JordanP1
(The auction lasts until March 16, 2023).
If we win the auction and we live close enough to your school, can the 1 on 1 be in person?
@@alfredotellez3281 ya totally
I've never heard of bidntoken
Have you considered other ways to auction things? Are there other ways to auction tutoring? Hmm
I came on this just hoping to get a response. I never see you do leg locks. Is that because you are mostly in gi or can you get away without leg attacks no gi? I have seen that no go is leg locks and wrestling up. Do you study leg locks or just anti leg locks
@@jonathanwilliams1746 I have decent leg locks but they're not what I focus on like so many do. I use them as a tool instead of making them my game. I'll do some in the next rolls so people can learn them too more 🙂
Thankyou everyone for all the encouragement. Definitely a whole different world going from gym rolls to competition rolls. I can not overstate how tired I was going into that last match. It still bugs me that I lost because I gassed out but we live and we learn
Respect for a very good first competition!
I 100% get how it feels gassing out. You did a lot of hard work after stepping up to do what 99% of people will never do.
Congratulations on an excellent first competition performance! I’m certain that Jordan’s tips and your focused training will pay huge dividends that will show themselves in your next competition.
Bro you did amazing. You should be very proud. Anyone would be stoked if that was there first competition result. It gets a little easier every comp you do. The Nerves really makes your gas tank smaller than usual and as you compete more those nerves aren’t as bad. Good luck in your future tournaments and congratulations!!
You did great! Thanks for letting us learn by sharing your experience!
Well done, you did a million times better than I did in my last (my first bjj) tournament. Onwards and definitely upwards for you!
I can %100 relate, so tiring!
Thank you for this kind of video. As a white belt, this is super useful to watch!
Happy to help!
Hahaha it was a pleasure to meet you Jordan and gain knowledge from my fight with Jesse! Yes I was the first dude, sadly i didn’t control my breathing and was out of breath 😂 but thank you for the pointers 🙏🏽
good on ya for competing, its harder than a lot will ever know, my first tournament i tapped to a cross face so don't feel too bad.
Congrats to you for getting out there and competing!
Your Spider-Man gi is awesome. Where did you get it, sir?
Nice meeting you too. Great work out there! Competition is next level exhausting.
@@squidwardtortellini1832just saw this sorrry! Venom guy from Hayabusa 😬 got it as a gift
Where the hell were these guys tapping to pressure in my first competition 😂
Great video and insightful analysis!
I feel you, first comp was against a guy who did 2 years of wrestling and some judo, while I just stopped smoking. Let's say it was an ugly display
@@gaia8840 Just doing your first comp is a win in my book!
@@Hewrin88 thank you 🙏 Yes I got to say I was pretty frustrated with my self at first, but now I see that stepping on the mat was already my accomplishment. And seeing the positive it showed me technique is great but it got to be paired with conditioning. Technique works in class bc you dont go 100%...but damn in competition you also need a lot more
@@gaia8840 Not sure if you'll see this, but I just did my first comp too, man it was a whole new level of intensity, I'm still felling sore. Needless to say I got rekt.
@@Hewrin88 hahaha congrats brother, stepping on the mat is what most people don't have the guts to do. Now You need to see why you lost and go back to the lab 🙏 And start doing more conditioning if you can. ( don't worry I got my hip displaced first match of my first comp 😭😂 soreness and hurt only means you gave all you had
I really love the videos where you critique a lower belt’s decisions and their techniques during a roll. I think a lot of us, myself included, do not have that support and thus continue to reinforce bad habits. More of these type of videos please!
Definitely will make more like this 🙂
Good job Jesse.
Awesome job Jesse! Always nerve wracking to compete and you did on camera, kudos!!
Jordan this was super informative, thanks for the pauses and examples!
👊
Thanks!
I earned my blue belt 20 years ago, stopped practicing now I’m 42 and getting back into it. I had option to start from blue again but I chose to start from scratch as white, It’s amazing how much basic stuff I forgot but I still remeber a good amount of technical stuff lol. I love your vids, so helpful. Both of my sons have been practicing for over a year now and learn alot from your vid’s as well. Congrats Jesse!!! GG
dont be a sandbagger you blue belt
u are a blue not a white . u dont lose your belt .
This is a great video for a white belt like me. All mistakes explained in the video I do too. So good to hear why they are mistakes and what to do to improve. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! :)
He’s got a great coach, you can easily tell! Awesome job for a first tournament Jesse!
I appreciate that! He killed it. He made me look good haha
White belt content is so interesting to watch, because in my mind I feel like I move like Jordan... but when I see the white belts I realize that's what I probably look like hahah
Your breakdown/narration skills are really top notch. Not so much that folks get lost, but not so basic that we walk away with little. Thanks so much coach.
You're very welcome, and thanks for such a kind comment! I'm happy you find my videos valuable 🙂
Great job Jesse!! 👏👏
I enjoyed this a lot, thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for today. Great stuff
Thx for the vid.
Great job! Love the commentary!
Bro keep it up this helps us a lot
Very informative breakdown! I learned some great details and concepts. Congrats to Jesse!
Great video and great effort from Jessie. I’m 4 weeks out from my first tournament too and I’m super excited
Love the videos!! My first tournament I got injured about 2 minutes in to my first match. Not Awesome. Love seeing these commentaries though. I always get something new out of it!
Glad to hear that! (that you enjoyed it, not getting injured haha)
Love this. Thank you!
Thanks!
Always love videos like this so insightful!!!!
Thanks!
Kick ass job Jesse!
Very helpful analysis, thanks for sharing. I was there the next day, for my 3rd white belt tournament in Masters. Not many round robin BJJ tournaments around but this was a great way to gain experience when I might have only had 1 match in a typical single elimination tournament.
Every video you do helps me learn, thank you and keep it up 💪🏻
Happy to help. Thanks!
Fantastic video, as usual. Thanks Jordan!
Thank you!
Some great takeaways here!! Thank you so much.
My pleasure!
This was a great breakdown and great matches, thank you both.
Thanks James, I'm glad that you liked it 🙏
Great break down thank you
🙏👊
Great vid! Really enjoy these commentary rolls
Glad to hear that!
Nice work Jesse.
Excellent, please do more of those !
I will for sure 🙂
Very useful narration!
Such a great and informative video, thank you Jorden🙏
I appreciate it, thank you 🙏
Amazing breakdown. Super helpful. Thanks a lot Jordan
Thank you! This one was a really fun to make. I have footage of a smaller whitebelt I may do later this month as well
Very educational
Thanks!
Nice rolls!👊
Amazing content as usual. Truly appreciate your channel and commentaries.
It would be great to see an instructional/tutorial on how to recover from Cross Face Half Guard position as the guy in bottom, the position Jesse's opponent was in at minute 4:33. As super heavy weight guard player, I face quite bit of trouble breaking out of said position when I am too late avoiding it.
Amazing effort Jesse, keep at it.
Thank you, I learnt from this!
Same profile pic
@@EricCartmanOfficaI Whoa, sick
Helped me a lot being a beginner
As a month old white belt, this is PEAK BJJ content with all the little footnotes, animations showing the purpose of placement, AND the videos after showing what the correct form would be.
PEEEAAAAAK CONTENT !!!!
I'm prepping for my first tournament in January and your videos really help. Love the content 👊
Did you do your comp yet, how did it go?
Love it!
Thanks!
that was a really good and useful video 👍🏻
Glad you think so, thanks! 🙂
I like the fact you added back those side notes. It really helps. Great vid as usual !
Thanks man, it's funny the only reason I stopped was I couldn't find a text/animation I liked. I like this one though!
nice video bro really help full
Excellent, as usual, very pedagogic!
I appreciate that, thank you!
good job Jessie
Congrats Jesse, it'll only keep getting better
Solid performance Jesse
That was good stuff
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great commentary.
Great job Jessie!
Good stuff!
My kids started jiu jitsu last August, and the deal was if they started…..I started too
I can’t believe how much fast my kiddos have progressed in the last 8 months, as they brought home 3 golds, a silver and a bronze at their first tournament.
I played in a lot of big football games in college, but watching my kids compete in a combat sport for the first time was as nervous as I’ve ever been in my life!
I was so proud of them, that I couldn’t resist when they asked me if I would do a competition next.
So in a few weeks….at 42 years old…I’ll be stepping on the mats for real.
So glad BJJ found its way into my family’s life.
Great stuff. I'll take any rolling commentary you've got. Love the insight.
Glad you enjoy them 🙂
UUUUUU I love this one Jordan sensei this one is really good for us white belts .. thank you
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it :)
useful theory tip you give: cross body control - if you only have a leg hook in on one side, you want your arms to hook the opposite side (like via seat belt grip). commenting so I remember!
Congrats on your medal, Jesse!
Epic Video! I'm keen for some rolls with Jesse next week 💪
Can't wait man, it'll be a blast 👊
I just joined a BJJ gym and i'm thinking of entering a BJJ competition in the next few months. This is a great breakdown and very helpful. Thanks Jordan
Niceman good luck! and thank you!
jordan i fkn love ur vids dude. way too vibey
Thanks man! Good vibes always 🙌
Great tips on avoiding being stacked Big Oss
Glad it was helpful!
Congrats to your student
This type of content is definitely exposing a large Gap in content, nice Job Jordan 🤜
Thank you! I'm not sure what you mean though? 🙂
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu the Gap being - Helping people see what both people were doing right and what needs works, what is important: grips, head control, feet on your opponent, or what grips aren’t important. This is why your commentary videos are helpful and successful, but you are doing them at a higher level than guys like your white belt student…not everything you do is even being thought of by a white or blue. So, the Gap in content that you are filling and having success with is commentary on beginner level and what a black is thinking. Does that make sense?
Paul
@@GrapplingwithInsanity makes sense for sure! I appreciate it man. I want to do more competion footage like this. It's too awkward filming people other than me at the gym so this is the perfect medium.
more of these please
Coming soon :)
As a long time judoka (from 6 to about 38) im still amazed and a bit dazzled by the complexity of BJJ. we learn a lot of technique but tachiwaza (standing) for us is much more about feel, and strength and timing than it is about having a precise positional counter to every move. I watch this (and thoughni was good on the ground, and did some bjj) and think, I simply couldnt remember everything Id need to know to figt BJJ effectively.
On the opposite side, having done BJJ...It's just incredible to me how complex your game of destabilisation/take down is in judo AND the sheer amount of explosivity each of a judoka moves have in them. The only people I know who have that amount of pressure are Wrestlers. The combination of the two is scary. I've seen friends like that who did both and having someone who can take you down 10 times out of 10 and finish you after is scary
Awesome footage, Grappling Industries was my first tournament as a white belt also. Any tips to not get so gassed ? I was surprised at how tired i got, totally different from club rolling.
The more you compete the calmer you'll be. Also doing hiit should help substantially as well. If you have a resting heart rate over 60bpm some slow and steady cardio would be wise too.
Seeing these guys compete has inspired me, I've been hesitant as my submission offense game is poor but luckily my weasel out of positions and submission game is average :)
Go for it! Glad they inspired you :)
Thanks for doing this video Jordan it was super helpful, well broken down and narrated.
I'm a 3 stripe white belt, just competed this weekend, and I reckon Jesse could have easily beaten me, so well done team Limitless!
Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words! Congratulations on your (first, I assume) competition. You'll only get better and ya, Jesse is really good 👊
Hey Jordan, I was wondering if you would be able to re-upload the Ronda Rousey Armbar Tutorial Video? I have learned so much just from watching your videos that it takes most other people a long time to learn. Thank you for all the free knowledge.
Thanks man happy to help! I just made it public again for you. I get weird sometimes and delete old content haha. I'll make a new one soon as well.
Bro this was a great vid, we need more of these. My first tournament I was winning by points but in the last 10 seconds I turned and gave my opponent my back giving him just enough points to beat me - I use to Wrestle in higher school hence why I did what I did. Lesson learned!
And about a month ago I won double gold gi and no gi. It’s nice seeing your hard work pay off. Now back to the grind as a new blue belt 👍👍
Great performance, man! You're just beginning and you're already doing well. You should be proud of yourself 👊
Can you do a video of passing/dealing with a taller opponent as a small opponent? I always run. Into problems with the length of extremely lengthy/tall opps and me being a power lifter at 5’8 190-200lbs I’m always going against the 6’4+ opp
your voice is so relaxing ahahaha
Haha thanks man
Great job for 1st tourney. I can tell his triangle is gonna be a really good weapon.
I'm looking forward to his next tournament and see if he can hit some. Perfect body type for the triangle!
In first match if that was smoother is that okay for white belt ? i have a competition this month and i'm afraid to be DQ for try to do smoother by my chest to opponent face in mount
My first tournament was a double elimination, I lost my first match after 1 hour and 15 minutes. My opponent had 2 stripes and was put up 20 pounds, I was already at the top of my weight bracket so I (175) had probably close to 30 pounds on the guy. He was way better than me but I was way stronger and wouldnt let him submit me for so long. I was being dominated the whole match which pretty much consisted of him passing my guard, trying an arm bar or cross collar, me escaping and getting him back in my guard. I was able to win my next two matches though and got bronze! BJJ is awesome, Jordan has taught me a lot and I hope to do better in my next tourney because of him!
2:59 Nice to see that Boris Johson is doing jiu jitsu
😅
second match, minute 3:54 in video.. jesse does an illegal grab of gi with fingers in pant sleeve? am i wrong? asking only cause 2 months into white belt and always accidently get my fingers inside gis and my coach tells me its illegal
Hi, when my back is taken, I activate the war modus and of course I know after that I will be gas out. Is that a good strategy?
(I practice BJJ since November 2023)
07:00 should be 2 points for black no? Due to the fact he touchs the legs during the guard pull.
I think because he imitated the pull long before the grabbing of the legs it didn't count. I've had the same thing work agaisnt me in the past. Thought I should have got points for it but didn't.
Well done Jesse!
Jordan, do you enjoy going to comps and coaching or do you get FOMO and wish you could be on the mats too? 😁
The opposite usually haha. Its a stressful, hot, loud, muggy environment that I could do without. I hate competing but will do so soon for everyone 🙂
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu I feel ya! I recently went to a comp as just a coach, it was fantastic
I'd like a video for guys over 30 who are just starting. Is there any hope for us at our age to ever do any tournaments. I feel like I'll either get out enduranced by the young bucks or out skilled by the guys who are my age but started 20 years ago.
Tips or tricks for starting later in life with a lot more joint issues and longer recovery needs would be nice
There's masters division for a reason! Any age is a great age to start. You don't need to be the best to have a good time and there's plenty of over 30 years olds that get really good!
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu I watch a lot of your videos on the focus of being a white belt. Are there any other special considerations for older beginners going into those Master Divisions you'd advise.
I started Jiu-jitsu at around 35. I've competed and am a blue belt. I can now handle younger/athletic white belts, where when I started at a white belt, this wasn't the case. Just keep training. There will be ups and downs, but just embrace the journey.
I'm only 2 months in to this bjj and I have held my own vs mid-20s dudes via strength alone. I'm mid-40s but am in excellent shape. Before this, I kickboxed, but the cardio is different. Knowledge and experience is the Only thing that is beating me not strength or youth.
that is a great white belt
was this at TMU??
As a white belt who recently started competing, I greatly appreciate the video. I had to do 3 Tournaments to rack as many Ws as Jesse did in one go.
My main question is: why pull guard? Especially in the last match, it looked like he had a better grip and probably comparable size/strength to his opponent, and better posture for a takedown.
Did he lose points by pulling guard in this rule set? Does he just feel he is so good at guard that its better to pull guard all the time? Was this a gameplan you discussed with him? The last match, looks like he could have done some more wrestling and attempted a judo throw or shot a single leg to get a 2p takedown. Just curious.
Jordan said he doesnt have much takedown game so it's probably a lack of confidence there
In my first tournament i had 2Wins by submission 1L by points and a silver medal.
Never got a gold medal in 5 years lots of silver, craig jones would be proud of me
Haha great result though!
I really hope I win at least 1 fight in my first tournament. It will be in 2 months but I'm already scared as hell.
This white belt did a great job. Thanks for the video
Just gotta go for it. I love my first tournament. Won my next two. First one's usually a write off. Good luck!
Can't do worst than me, displaced my hip first fight, and lost 6 times in a row.
Advice after having done a few competitions, think of common senarios and have no more than one or two things you can do in that scenario. If you have more than that you will lose time thinking of which one to do and loose opportunities.
Second cardio, cardio and more cardio, even when i did 8x6 minutes rolling in classes, one comp fight had me gasping for air.
Third warmup early and stay warm, don't let your body rest too much in between fights.
And last for the time you have, during rolling in classes try to put yourself in bad positions to not be afraid and freeze when you are put in thoses.
Hope it helps !
@@gaia8840how many classes a week were you doing?
Not enough comment’s, likes etc as a person who does bjj u a savour
Thanks man!
I’m a single stripe white belt looking to start competing sometime this year. Is it common for people to tap due to exhaustion? At the gym I train at the only people that tap like that are the ones who are rolling for the very first time. I would have thought that by the time you are ready to compete you would have gotten over that, or is there something I’m not understanding here?
Competing and rolling are too very different things. Competing is an intensity and level of exhaustion that can't really be replicated elsewhere. You have to deal with an adrenelanine up as well.
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu thanks, do you have any videos on the differences you should expect from hard rolling with your training partners and competition matches?
What is the green and yellow belt?
Just to differnciate competitors wearing the same color Gi
Good wins and a tough loss. How long has Jesse been competing?
👊
Great job Jesse as with nearly everybodys first competition you are probably much better than how you performed in your matches but nerves make you forget some fundamentals and get you tired more easily, handy breakdown Jordan
Man I was loving BJJ, but for some reason my hands couldn’t take all the grip fighting are we’re constantly sore. Maybe I just need to strengthen them but it felt like I had severe arthritis
Maybe try nogi. I find it a lot easier on my fingers :)
Taping and grip training, brother. I was having a blast until we started learning spider/lasso/DLR and it fucked my fingers big time. 2-3 months of training with tape helped me a lot and I also used to do dead hangs and etc. on the fingers as much as I could. Nowadays, it's way better.
Im almost 48 and Jordan can attest that I wrap my hands/wrist before every class and it gets me through the night, although I do take advil before every class as well...I also have severe arthritis, 2 surgeries and chronic pain but it helps a lot. I was asked by probably 10 ppl in almost 4 years if its worth it and i say hell yeah it is!! Hope you can find your way through!
My names Jesse and triangles are my favorite submission too! I had my first competition a month ago, but I didn't do as well as this Jesse, I lost my first match and also stretched a ligament in my knee. I noticed this Jesse was guard pulling, controlling the opponents right hand, but then Jesse would put his right foot up for a guard pull, since Jesse isn't controlling the opponents left hand, there is nothing stopping the opponent from just grabbing Jesse's foot and passing right, since that hand is free? My opponent pulled guard the exact same way and I passed his guard within seconds. On another note, my name's kind of rare so it's bizarre saying Jesse so much and not referring to myself 🤣🤣
There's definitely some risk to pulling with only one grip, but it there's enough tension with the feet pushing, and collar grip pulling it can be done safely :)
🤜🏼🤛🏼
👊🏼
👊
First fight looks soooo much like my first time competing:)
Haha copy/paste lol 🙂
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu haha yes but my tournament was is July last year and I got bronze partly due to watching and learning from your channel!:) Am still waiting when you come to Thailand to do a seminar:P
@@tomtrader6559 hopefully very soon. I love and miss Thai land so bad. I might be setting up a dual Thailand camp with mma shredded 🙂
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu that would be awesome although those foot sweeps he was showing looked really painful (I mean for the guy going down):P There are plenty of foreigners like me living here who would happily take part in it and you could also do like a half day seminar in a few gyms across Thailand (or in Bkk if you don't wanna travel too far), gym where I train here hosted 2 lately one from judo nomad who travels the world teaching and one yesterday from a European champion in judo and bjj teaching guard passing combined with foot attacks. This month we are also getting new mat so all is set and waiting for you! Generally it would make the most sense if you make it around the time when one of the big tournaments in BKK takes place like Siam Cup in July/December as there are plenty of foreigners coming from other closeby countries to compete for a weekend (when I competed in Siam Cup last year there were 850 people competing that day). Once you guys have a plan I will be happy to help you organising stuff over here as I have been living here for a while so know how things work:)
