This is the best tutorial ever! I struggle to pass open guard because most of the time I just don't know what to do. You put it simple and conceptual, instead of focusing on what to do, you explain why and how, which is extremely useful and easier to understand!!!! Thank you so much I'll start drilling more :)
Amazing tutorial! Tomorrow is going to be an absolute banger of a disappointment when I'll try all this and get sweep as usual :) but I will succeed in the end! thanks very much for all your hard work, your pedagogy is superb!
I'm pretty new to BJJ, so I may not be able to pull off some of these against more experienced grapplers, but the concepts you present here have already been helpful in getting a little bit closer. Great advice!
Thanks Jon, great details and instruction as always! For future passing videos, I’d like to see how you deal with different scenarios, like an opponent who has gotten underneath you (e.g. half guard with deep underhook) or elevated you (e.g. butterfly guard). Thank you!
Your videos and explanations of techniques and concepts are always great and helpful! Thank you for sharing and creating the content! I imagine it takes a good amount of time, thought and effort for every vid! Much appreciated!!!
Quality conceptual video as always, trying to improve guard passing at blue belt level. This has massively helped. As a lighter athlete do you prefer to attack from side control or mount? I am 77kg and find heavier opponents are harder to attack from mount.
I'm struggling to pass the open guard when my opponent is sitting up. As soon as I get inside positioning with one of my legs I loose it to one of his legs and in up in a leg entanglement. Or it's hard to push him to his back because he will get grips. Would love some advice!
I just get kicked away when I try to close in. When I try to grap their legs they just kick and spasm around so I risk breaking my fingers when reaching out. Any tips?
It's crazy how everyone can play open guard against me and have me subbed within a minute, but if I play open guard they pass in 5 seconds and I'm now bottom side controlled... 😂 I hate everything about open guard... I'd rather just tell the guy to stand back up and try to get past the legs before we're both on the ground.
We have quite a few higher belts who give great feedback on what I am doing wrong when playing open guards, but it sure is a learning process. I find that if you have to stop and think, chances are that your guard is already passed.
I tried a toriando today and 360'd my opponent lmao. Task failed successfully. My best pass is smash into 1/4 guard and slither into mount like a degenerate.

How has this not got more views and comments? concise descriptions, absolutely game changing for me.
You have such a great teaching style.
That chest over chest tip is gold. I see that that is probably the reason I don't quite pass guard enough. That and that I don't go to class enough!

Gold. You do a great job of simplifying it and making it understandable.
Your channel has helped me so much. Your collar sleeve instructional is incredible.
Thanks a lot really happy to hear you are enjoying the instructional!
One of the few videos on UA-cam that is worth watching again.
Great video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I can remember only so many techniques, but these concepts are much easier to manage.
Golden concepts and techniques to remember. Really good. Thanks again!
No problem happy to help buddy!

Absolutely gold!! Thank you! I'll be watching this a few times
Thank you for helpful instructionals! Keep up the great work!
Best videos on guard passing, thank you
I took BJJ in the Army we learned this. But it's been years ago now. Thanks this is a great refresher
That's so interesting. Do any branches besides the Army have BJJ in their training? Would love to know the history behind this and how it came to be.
Your videos and explanations of techniques and concepts are always great and helpful! Thank you for sharing and creating the content! I imagine it takes a good amount of time, thought and effort for every vid! Much appreciated!!!
It does, some more than others. Really happy people are enjoying them and I will be posting more soon!
Amazingly articulated loving your vids 👊
I really need that stack pass tips. Thanks Professor!
The best most valuable lesson!

This is fantastic! Do you have a similar methodology for playing open guard?
Great content 👍

Reminds me of the Ruotolo Bros,they are always using side to side motion instead of a through motion.
Love your videos. Thank you!

No problem happy to help!

The whole not letting them get grips part is the catch 😂
Thank you😊
Galbu un genio!! Oss

Late comment, but this content is miles above what gyms are teaching these days.

Ok yeah it can be really frustrating to deal with for sure

If anyone has a triangle sweep instructional it would be you. Can you point me to a closed guard triangle sweep? 🔺️
