Major Guard Retention Mistake
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2019
- This video I discuss one of the biggest mistakes I see people make with their Guard Retention. People often have a tendency to hold their Grips way too long when someone starts to pass their guard. The act of holding these grips can often expose the elbow knee space which makes it much easier for someone to pass your guard. In addition if someone can get inside tight past your frames escaping side control becomes much more difficult. If you have questions please comment and ask.

Thanks for this video I have been loosing this transition battle on a consistent basis. I see now I’ve been maintaining grips way to long. Makes total sense to let go. Once they’re at a certain position your actually helping them by holding grips to long. Enjoy your vids my man keep ‘em coming🤘
During class we mostly work on technique, thanks to videos like this I can get a good understanding of fundamentals that could otherwise take much longer to pick up on through a typical class.
I love this! Being aware of this changes everything
Amazing content as always, I love these "when to abandon ship" from various positions video's please keep them coming.
Love this! Thank you JT. This is the exact type of thing I need to see and understand. This has been my struggle. Teaching what 'not' to do is just as if not more important for me than what to do. Please keep it up and especially in the guard retention and recovery area. Early stage actions are what I want to better understand next. Mid and late stage too still though.
Thanks for the video, Jon. Ive been watching your videos for the last month or so. I'm a brown belt returning after an extended layoff and find the concept videos really helpful. You asked for suggestions; would you consider a video on framing? Different types of frames and which to use in each range would be great. Cheers.
I just watched your specific sparring videos on Fb stories. Your instructions on UA-cam are the gold standard, but being able to watch you actually using the collar sleeve/ matrix is a thousand times mind opening than anything else. If you can, please post more of the sparring too. It is so valuable learning tool.
I agree a narrated roll video (maybe focused on guard retention) would be amazing. Like firas zahabi does narrated rolls
Bunny Azorth I will certainly be doing that buddy
JonThomasBJJ - can you post those FB stories videos on UA-cam too please?
Dear Jon, you are the real MVP. As a consistently struggling forever white belt I have to admit that your videos are the only ones that help me work my way through fundamental issues I have with my bjj game. As always, your input and wisdom are priceless. Thank you.

Olga G. Super happy to hear the videos have helped and I am doing my best to start putting out more content getting a better quality laptop now and camera stuff to take things up a level
As usual, excellent concepts shared. I have to thank you for helping me improve my bjj. Please keep up the great work.
steve armstrong No problem happy the videos have been helping
great stuff as always!
this is awesome. i make this mistake constantly and continue getting my guard passed. more on this top of guard retention. im trying to understand how and when my guard is about to get passed how to invert before giving my side or back. can you please make a video.
nice video, thank you - as a white belt just starting out this is the issue I always do, keep the grips! Oss!
Man.....,this would have saved me a ton when I was practicing BJJ. Great video.
As a fellow armadillo lover , I really relate to this example. Thanks for all the videos bro
Josh Presley lol thanks Josh miss you buddy
Oh man, every video you put is gold , I'm starting to put together a mind map just based on the concepts you elequently describe .. Come to one of the bjjglobetrotters camps man I think u would be a regular instructor there, your teaching style fits there perfectly
rayan daou Yeah it is a goal of mine to do one of those camps I just need to get my schedule right hopefully last or early next year
Great video professor. Ive been following you ever since I first saw your videos on Grapplers Guide. It would be great if you could post some videos (even short ones) of you doing guard retention. Maybe with different belts too.
theticoboy yeah I think I’m gonna start doing that soon
Cheers, Mate!!! 👍🏽
So good, Jon! Could you share your thoughts on resetting an open guard after they get to HQ position? It seems like it can be game over if they get HQ.
Theodore Teow I would say try to focus on lassoing and pushing with the lasso foot to clear the bottom leg out, watch my video on defending the knee cut pass it’s a similar idea
Great video. It would be helpful to describe which grips to let go of. I find that once I let go of everything I’m just unattached and floating, then I get passed.
Shane Stevens If you watch my video Guard Retention Most Common Mistakes Video I discuss a lot about basic principles. You should become very comfortable with no grips just defending
Shane Stevens That being said I know it’s a hard skill to develop. Just when people hold grips too long they often get into a much worse position to recover from
Excellent, I’ll watch your guard retention video right now. Thank you.
Awesome revolution
Excellent guard retention idea. Beautiful partner. Amazing tattoos.

nice
Hello Jon, what type of guard do you recommend for all non flexible guys out there? I understand the concept of framing but I'm still struggling retaining guard due to my lack of flexibility. Thanks dude, great work.
ty ty hey buddy well for one if you don’t already start taking your flexibility really seriously it’s one of the easiest way to fast improve your game if you are not already very flexible. Secondly I mean it’s hard to say what’s going wrong in your Retention without seeing it. Saying flexibility is the problem is a broad explanation for your problem sometimes it might be but other times it’s probably technical mistakes too. So I would say without seeing what you are doing exactly start working your flexibility a lot, and stay dedicated to finding a good process for you honestly a lot of what I show does not require much flexibility.
ty ty and as far as a guard for non flexible people I think knee shield, single leg guard, Lucas leite half Guard, and deep half are good bets
Can you do a video on omoplata finishes? I get the omoplata but a lot of times people posture out of it, or either roll and I have to take the sweep.
Peter Rachid yeah for sure can shoot something on this soon
Jon how do you get your knee in to start escape side when the guy is in your side and facing you or with his back to you? Not chest on chest or chest on your frame i mean. Thanks
Wodyolinsky bruneel hey buddy so I did a video called side control most common escapes watch that video it addresses a lot of the issues you are describing
Do you train no gi Jon? If so how do u adapt your gi game to this? We have similar games.
Tommy B hey buddy I have not been training no gi for a while, I would say my passing is very similar Guard you can really use spider guards and sleeve control games much. Guard Retention is roughly the same in no gi though.
JonThomasBJJ ah ok thanks. So what’s your A game in the no gi if you can’t use the spider and collar and sleeve? De la riva/ x?
Awsome video, scary neck tatoos o.O
