This man gives oneandahalf hours of gold away on the internet like it's no thing. They used to say "who taught leglocks to the whitebelts?" now it will be "who taught defence to the whitebelts?"
Much appreciated 😂

"Losing is more fun when you know why you are losing." fkn genius.
Game changer.
New white belt here and just tried this against 4 blue belts: none could get any hooks in in turtle or smash me in side control at all...
The biggest lessons on my first day were ”Don't expose your elbows” and ”alwasy be active on defense”
I know that I still have a lot to learn, but I'm not just ”waiting to be tapped” when my guard gets passed anymore. I can actually do something to save myself and that's amazing.
Yeah man, and having good defense/escapes as a white belt is the best foundation you can have. Gordon Ryan said that as well; if your defense is great, you're not afraid to try out new techniques, because (as Priit said) one mistake doesn't mean you're dead. If your defense is bad, you're afraid of making mistakes and might fear going for submissions for example, because you might lose your position and then you might and up on bottom and get subbed. If you can trust your defense and escapes, you're not afraid to try out new things, and your training is accelerated.
Bjj university is also good
This is the single best thing you can do as a white belt. Keep it up 👏
This is 'just' the evolution of JJ. Its not radical. Its logical and testable. Brilliant.
Much appreciated 😎
Holy Sh!t, I’m a black belt and these are the tools missing in my game. I don’t know many that knows this knowledge. Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
I am obsessed with Danaher's system, and dare I say I am equally obsessed with Priit's defensive system. My training partners and I have been learning, practicing, experimenting and pressure testing everything in the Defensive BJJ system and it is revolutionizing our games.
But we have a problem - nobody can do anything to each other anymore. :D
Just kidding, that's not a problem, but a scientific conundrum that needs to be further researched and experimented upon. I am also a Judoka/wrestler kinda guy who really prefers to stand back up a lot of the time (contra something like inverting to guard), because I enjoy the immediate takedown or throw upon a successful stand-up WITH the proper control points.
Defensive BJJ system has allowed me breathing room, space, and mental clarity while under attack to set up my preferred grips and timings for a safe option back to standing. Honestly, this is absolutely phenomenal work and I am deeply humbled and impressed.
If Jiujitsu is a body of martial science, then Priit Mihkelson is changing the very paradigm BJJ is operating in. He is, in a Kuhnian sense, directly causing a fundamental revolution in our understanding of the unified theory of jiujitsu. The paradigm upon which we view jiujitsu, our assumptions/axioms about how jiujitsu works, and our understanding of the optimal path to victory in the sport of jiujitsu is literally changing day-by-day. Is this not revolutionary work?
@Andrew Let's say that it would be far less effective.
Agreed. This is a challenge to the current paradigm that even Danaher and his creations operate in. I expect that over the course of the next decade, the defensive paradigm will shift, but like in the scientific world, proper credit will probably not be given. BJJ celebs will start posting short clips of these ideas on Instagram with different terminology. After 20 years, people will pretend this is the way it's always been done.
You've probably seen gym owners teaching moves word-for-word off the Danaher DVD's and pretending that it's just their regular system. This is how it goes.
I'm a head coach and am always carefully thinking about my gym's 'Meta'. Whatever I teach will have ripple effects that change the outcomes of rolls and alter the perspective of students about what Jiu-Jitsu is. I was initially concerned that if this stuff worked, submissions might disappear and the students would get bored.
In reality, it's the kind of the opposite, when people have defensive structures to fall back on they become more willing to take risks. If a Bluebelt shoots up a Triangle and gets badly stacked, they know that if the pressure becomes too much and the legs break open they'll land in Running Man and fight from there. Without a defensive structure to fall back on, that might have meant spending minutes in Bottom Side-Control, where they hopelessly Shrimp, Bridge and Push.
Even if it did work to the extent that Submissions disappeared, we'd see more opportunities to STAND UP and practice takedown skills.
Win-Win.
Priit is such a great Coach. Been really enjoying his style of teaching!
☺️🤜🤛
Yay! I see priit video. I click video. I love and enjoy.
☺️🤜🤛
The adapted turtle position from Pritt is super powerful. 👌
☺️🤜🤛
Im dedicating 12 years of my Jiu-Jitsu to my defence and then i find this guy... Very cool concepts 😊
The Quantam Physics of Panda - I love it. Louis CK's good days-bad days philosophy. Estonian guard. Great stuff. Thank you.
TOTALLY LOVE IT!!! There is a gold mine here and the humility and realism about what works and what doesn't work..."There is no 'I don't like it', it works or it doesn't work". Well Said Professor, well said!!!!
I stopped everything I was doing to listen to another good priitching, awesome work for the community, keep it up my friend :-)
All of these guys are teaching turtle attacks under false priitenses with people giving up under hooks left and right like it’s no big deal.
@@kogrady2409 and priitending they are teaching "basics" . How can we call it basics when the défense are unrealistic like so ? As he said they give Underhooks from scratch, five mistakes in a row and then they " complain jiu-jitsu is hard " so True ;-)
@@JSMinstantcoaching Priit’s videos have really changed my entire mindset. It all makes so much sense after you hear him break it down. There is an enormous priitponderance of information backing up his claims.
@@kogrady2409 I like the Priitponderence you are talking about, I have interviewed both priit and wim on my channel a while back, actually it was very touching to witness a reciprocal appreciation from both of them in the quest of the truth, and science based evidence. Thinking that I stumbled upon one of his globetrotter video by chance, and was amazed/ afraid by his cold way of reframing jiu-jitsu, and yet was not expecting to be so well informed by his astounding findings. Love that priitshits so much :-)
@@JSMinstantcoaching going to go watch your interview now!! Hopefully the translated captions work! 😂 Thanks
Probably the best damn seminar - EVER!
thank you soooo much for an hour and twenty minutes of priit
☺️🤜🤛
Just what I needed to keep the momentum going! Welcome back Priit
☺️🤜🤛
These videos with Mr. Mihkelson are gold. Thank you for sharing.
☺️🤜🤛
Priit this is so interesting. I started playing with hawking and some running man this last week over my 3 days of training. It certainly had my training partners a little perplexed. Of course I'm not really doing it right, but I see the potential.
Summary:
- Priit discusses various postures and positions in BJJ, including hawking, running man, panda, turtle, and baby bridge.
- He emphasizes the importance of understanding defense and being able to adjust when facing opponents.
- Priit talks about the effectiveness of turning the back in certain situations and challenges the conventional wisdom of not turning the back in BJJ.
- He encourages students to explore different techniques and play with the system while gradually building their skills and focusing on attacking transitions.
Sommaire:
- Priit aborde différentes postures et positions clés en BJJ, notamment hawking, running man, panda, turtle et baby bridge.
- Il insiste sur l'importance de comprendre la défense et d'être capable de s'adapter lorsqu'on fait face à des adversaires.
- Priit remet en question les codes conventionnels qui déconseillent de tourner le dos dans certaines situations, affirmant que cela peut être efficace s'il est utilisé de manière stratégique.
- Il encourage les étudiants à explorer différentes techniques et à jouer avec le système tout en développant progressivement leurs compétences et en se concentrant sur les transitions offensives. Priit met l'accent sur l'importance d'attaquer pendant les phases de transition entre les positions.
Thank you so much for posting these for all to see 🙏
You are ver welcome! 🤜🤛
Priit Mikhelson is the Mad Scientists of Jiu-jitsu 😁
Caro, conteúdo muito bom.
E rico em detalhes.
Parabéns por sua didática.
Thank you for sharing, I love this approach, specially when I have stopped for a while.
My pleasure!
@@DefensiveBJJ Now I got it, the Hawking, now I won´t forget it.
PD: That laugh was scary hahaha.
This dude is a genius amazing!
Priit! Your belly has grown over the years! And the jokes are good as ever! :D
I’m really glad the bloke with the really great body came in at the end (1.07) with no top on 😂😂😂….then The Camera Man moved……mate…..there’s the clue 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This fella is a bjj genius.
Jiujitsu cheat codes
🤜🤛😎
Interesting. This came through my UA-cam feed today ... and I happened to have Rigan MAchado with me for a few weeks - and so we watched it together. Firstly, some interesting ideas ... I would like to have been at this camp to learn more. We used to utilize what we called 'tripod Turtle' some 30 years back - but only fleetingly - before we executed a back walk-around turnover, a sit-out, invert to guard, arm-roll, etc, etc. I am sure there are intangibles here I cannot appreciate - but interesting. Rigan pointed out the Uncle Helio used to fight very defensively like this - but the problems arose when transitioning from attack to defense (as it is with boxing, etc). Also, Rigan pointed out that we need to be careful with the tripod turtle as a few people have broken their necks. in similar situations, when necks twisted a little the wrong way and then powerful driving forces applied 'just so'. I like the transitions between 'running man', tripod turtle, 'panda', etc. Seems worthwhile learning these to build basic defensive skills - then layering on attacks and counter-measures. All in all - interesting. Wouldn't mind spending some time on this with Priit. PS: Rigan also pointed out the obvious ... all will be revealed if the ideas make it into, and prevail, in competition.
Thank you so much
☺️🤜🤛
Thx Thx great Advices !
Thanks for sharing, it is so enriching ! Don't you think such a defensive system is lacking during competitions ? I mean, hardly do we actually see such moves during rounds...
Dammit yes
☺️🤜🤛

Hey 👋 Pritt! I don’t know if you are aware of David Weck and his Weck method but I have been using his hand and core positions with your defensive postures and it seems it fits great 👍 Do you know of him/it? Thank you very much 🙏⚔️🔥🥋 @Defensive BJJ
No I do not know him at the moment 🙂
@@DefensiveBJJ cheers Pritt 👍
awesome
Which video of his on BJJfanatics is the best to start with for these concepts?
Hello 🙂 …lets say running man / babybridge gives a good overview of the system
@@DefensiveBJJ Thank you.
Lovely
Lol @ priit taking a jab at my hawking
😎
Your positions look solid man. Probably a real pain in the ass to roll with. 😂
Talking about panda who is he referring to? Edward ?????? I’m not getting the last name. Thanks
Eduardo Telles
This is BJJ Gold!!
☺️🤜🤛
So I'm not the only one who's ever freaked out in side control 😂
How do I defend the turtle tilt or flip from turtle position? It is when they have one ankle and pin the neck for the flip? Is there a transition I should go to once I feel any ankle grab or just try not to let them flip me? Happy Easter Mr. Priit!
Runningman or panda
thiiis was amaazing!
☺️🤜🤛
What was the name you mentioned of the competitor with 100+ videos as evidence?
Eduardo Telles
Watch his match with Keenan Cornelius. It’s a clinic on how to constantly expose your back without getting it taken. He is MUCH older than Keenan and past his competitive peak yet still effortlessly stays out of danger against one of the best in the sport. You don’t see many people roll as smoothly as Telles. Like Priit would say “he just doesn’t care”.

@@kogrady2409 Thank´s for sharing, it´s the kind of BJJ I like the most.
This guy is from Estonia?
Yes
There is one very important difference between the panda and mount bottom. Nobody every voluntarily puts themselves in mount bottom and you are actievely encouraging people to put themselves voluntarily in panda position which you yourself compare to mount bottom which is one of the worst position in BJJ. So the question is why in hell should anybody put themselves voluntarily in a position that you yourself compare to one of the worst positions in BJJ.
But is BJJ not about feeling comfortable in a very uncomfortable positions? Knowing everything that there is to know about those positions is helping people to not get stuck there …it is a dichotomy that a lot of people to seem to understand 🙂
Spending time in bad positions to understand it and be able to get out of it is one thing. But actively transitioning to bad positions without the intent to practice getting out of it but rather seeing it as some kind of "safe" position to be in is a whole another story. And from what im understanding of your video you are telling people that it is ok to actively transition into panda which i think is worse than giving full side mount control because in side mount your opponent needs his hand and feet to control you and thus cant freely punch you also you can try to defend punches in full side mount while in panda you are helpless against punches. And the only thing your opponent needs is preassure with his body to keep you there and can use his punches and kicks freely to attack you.
@@samirrimas You dont get it. When you learn mount bottom, you start by learning survival, then you learn to escape. In this video, he's teaching survival. Once that is understood you can escape. If someone is punching then he can't use his hands to control, thats a great time to escape. I won't be replying to further messages. Hope this helps.
Just to iterate...Gordon Ryan used to put himself in mount bottom because he was so comfortable there and encouraged people to engage with him... then he go on to win those matches.
In boxing I like to sometimes have my hands down because I'm comfortable with my defence enough to eventually attack in that way too.
@@taherul Im talking about in general, if you like to put yourself in bad positions to get out of it or whatever thats fine. Im talking in general terms. In general you wouldnt want to be in mount bottom and in boxing in general you would like to keep your hands up and your chin tucked.
This man is fucking amazing.
Priit's teaching is way better than Danahers....
First 💪
🤜🤛
People are going to wonder what I'm doing, rolling around on the floor by myself
Nice way of training at 1:07:30
Why is the position called Hawking?
Because Stephen Hawking was a genius.
Would love to hear the conversation between priit and Eduardo telles 🔥🙈🐢🐢🐼🐼🔥
I love that Priit shit
I would love a video on how to defend neck cranks please @DefensiveBJJ?
I only answer those questions when I see a video of the problem you are referring to and also these kind of questions will get answered through my site if necessary
@@DefensiveBJJ oh ok 👍 so you mean as feedback to someone?
@@organicenergy5124 Yeesh …I am not going to do a single video to my youtube channel where I address that. This is not how I work 😎 …I work through my site with people!
@@organicenergy5124 I would like to see how you do the postures and how are you getting neck cranked …I can not answer the question when I do not understand the context because maybe you are doing something wrong is those postures that is easily fixable …if you have not tried also any of them then I need you to play with them and then I answer
@@DefensiveBJJ sorry I did not mean it in a rude sarcastic way as I think you may have interpretations it? I simply am understand what you mean and if I find a chance to do a video of me getting caught I will happily send you it. All I can say for now is that it seems to be when I try and use boxing shoulder or wrist fight etc to defend chokes but then get a forearm on my chin/jaw from back control sort of position and it is then too late. Thanks so much for your work I would be very low if I’d not found it. ♥️❤️💙💚🥋⚔️🔥
he's keeps saying "this is jiu jitsu" like we don't believe him lol
great for tournament provided you have some kind of offense, not so useful n the street.
We love good jokes
🤜🤛
Try it and pretend you understand:)

It's about how to lose by points but avoid lose by submission? And for those who have enough stretch to put their belly on their thighs?
what???
None of what I do requires more than optimal amount of flexibility and it is about survival
I guess Mike Tyson kept his arms and elbows close so he would lose by decision and not by knockout? Clearly Mike Tyson was not able to attack because he valued defense and keeping his elbows to his ribs and his chin tucked. That is the equivalent of what you are saying in boxing analogy. Just because you learn fundamental defensive postures and structures does not mean you cannot or should not attack. Mike Tyson in his defensive posture and structure would slip punches and get to superior angles and unleash hell. The same can be said about Priit's defensive postures.
@@DefensiveBJJ lol, how many people with enough flexibility can put their belly on their thighs? Or how many people without specific flexibility can put their knees to the chest for grill chicken? It's a specific requirements for you do, but novice doesn't meet this requirements. What is it optimal? Your point of view or what real people have? :D Don't need to use terms like optimal in general definitions because it's only in your mind that's it's optimal, not for other people in your gym or for any novice in your gym.
@@peekaboojujitsoo525 Analogy is not an argument. What I can see on video that Priit shows how to lose points and not lose submission. It's doesn't matter for competition how to lose by points or by submission. Surprise man, losing 5 points (on video Priit shows how to lose guard pass and knee on the belly) means high percentage lose of the match. If you like examples how it looks in real live: ua-cam.com/video/WRsKCekH4_o/v-deo.html Keenan vs Telles, ua-cam.com/video/UcVFhIhUzmQ/v-deo.html or Priit vs Martin Aedma. More fights: ua-cam.com/video/cmqlDjytr0w/v-deo.html AJ (lightweight) vs Telles.
For sport its good, for the cage or street its not.
I felt like a fish out of water on the invert till I found this excellent video on progressing in inverting: ua-cam.com/video/zmXXfOcOT1U/v-deo.html
Pritt is amazing, but talks wayyyyYYYYYyyyyyy too much. Way too verbose.
When BJJ turns into the cultist BS of traditional martial arts...
😂😂😂 …good constructive feedback!
@@DefensiveBJJ I wasn't trying to be constructive.
That was a joke that sadly went over your head 😎
@@DefensiveBJJ only the best jokes!! 😂😂
@littlebighuman I’d love for you to elaborate on why you think this is cultist BS? Most of Priit’s mission is fighting against that BS so I’m curious what gave you that opinion?
