    Jon Thomas is killing it with the BJJ content. my gosh, monstrous details and this is why Espen and Tommy excel in this position

    Very enlightening! It made the berimbolo/matrix connection very clear and straight-forward to me now. It even connects to X-Guard! Mind blown!

    I know this vid is 2 years old but i had to log in and leave a like and comment. The details in here about the normal bolo, that first 'wedge' position, the awkwardness of the way everyone shows going from the wedge to the twister hook, the grips and that arm detail - and the absolute genius of the x hook. This was so helpful along with your crab ride material, thanks!

    I'm watching this hoping he shows certain details a lot of people miss. I've been berimboloed countless times from my Professor Samuel Braga and knowing these details are essential for a clean finish and also to learn how to defend efficiently. Great job, and I'm jealous your in Norway brother🤙

    Started playing and drilling this today - against good (great) crab and bolo players. Great advice towards the end in regards to various entries, being patient and not getting tunnel vision.

    Hey Jon, great video..I been deeo diving into berimbolo...studying different people, styles. You trained with and made some bolo videos with different people, what style bolo do you like...I see Espen never places his non dlr leg across the belly with his shin. Some people keep the non dlr knee outside the hip, some people seem like the are all the way across connected hip to hip....what do you prefer, what makes Espen's bolo unique? Thanks for the content as always !!!!
