A CONCEPTUAL Approach To Passing The Guard | Gi & Nogi BJJ Theory

I love this approach to learning. For my job, for my hobbies, I am a big fan of the 'know why you are doing a technique' and for me, it almost always really accelerates my progression. That being said, when I am learning guitar, no one is trying to kill me. There is the concept, of which I buy into fully, that when the poop hits the fan you will revert to your lowest level of training. You will never rise to the occasion, you will fall to what you have practiced and what you body and subconscious can do for you while your conscious mind is preoccupied with not pooping yourself.

How does this jive with 'concept over technique'?

This clicked some insights i needed... been having a lot of trouble with training partners guard, and i dont seem to be improving. Will work hard at focusing on these concepts during our rolls from now on.

Concepts are allways better thanks for this and all your other videos man much appreciated ❤

Great video. Man at this point I consider you a BJJ mentor. Never seen such a great explanation of basic concepts.

You are the best instructor of bjj in my opinion, hands down. Please keep this coming.

I would also like to see an conceptional approach to holding your guard. Like, what to look out for, what grips to prepare in case of, how to transition, how to prepare the many transitional options and so on. That would help I guess.

Thank you sir for another great video on concepts where it give me directions on how to approach sparring in Bjj.

Love you! I'm just commenting because you asked

That guy scored a slick inside trip on Jordan Burroughs! Ilya Abelev

I see Chewy rocking that We Defy 1776 rashie ❤❤❤

Great job Jordan!

Jordan’s legs are tree trunks

Ive been looking for videos that explain bjj like how you have in this video. It would be really great if there was a cheat sheet in the bio where i could copy and paste them into my phone so i can read them right before class as practice points.

His new theory course is absolutely an amazing work of beauty 👏

His teaching style and concepts are so logical Nd easy to follow. You simply have no choice but to learn, and you will learn fast, I should add. Much respect 🙏🏻

Hi, i’m french and i don’t undersand, Frame it’s like push ? What you Want say when u say « frame » ?? Thkss guys

Thank you Jordan, I will be learning alot from your teaching. It has been 12 years since I trained in bjj and I had that old fire light up recently. Well done with the information in your videos, I have been through a few of your other videos already and I am grateful to have found your channel.

Great video ty!

thank you

Bro i want to buy your whole classes share me the link please.

Thank you so much! I just started a few weeks ago and i love learning about theory. It makes more sense to me right now then specific moves. I like how you explain the goals or objective of each technique. I think people throw these words around a lot but it doesn’t mean anything without context.

Great video brother, awesome stuff

👊🏼👊🏼

Great content bro

Excellent. The conceptual approach I was able to translate immediately into better passing. It will serve as the skeleton for details to hang on later. Looking forward to more of the same applied to the different areas of jiu jitsu 🙏 🙏

👊

What is the ETA on the fundamental concepts book?

Seriously man, thank you for making these videos.

If you thought Jordan sounded monotone before, listen to .5x speed 🤣🤣🤣

🤛🤛🤛looking forward to the theory course

Great lesson

👊 new to rollin myself. I appreciate the steady tone, simple explanation, and focused topic. TY!🤼‍♂️

Thanks for the video. Great stuff.

Would you say? Isolation one leg and controlling it would be effective? Thanks in advance!🤙

Absolutely love the conceptual stuff as opposed to specific techniques. This is so helpful as a 6month white belt. I also totally relate when you talk about adhd and information basically going in one ear and out other. And its even worse when I really try to focus. Concept based teaching makes the whole process seem potentially manageable

Amazing content as always!!! 🔥🔥🔥

oh! so that's what I should have been trying to do!...thanks!! :)

👊

Thank you for all your content!

Keep feet off of you. Keep Frames pointing away from you. Make sure their feet and frames aren't on the mat.

I agree and disagree with this advice. I want to add 2 things.. Brace your scapula the same u would for bench or any other bracing. This will stop the traps from taking load. Look in the mirror and you'll see. 2, with flys think of bring the weight to the walls rather then bringing them up. From all my video watching these things effect 80% of us

Thanks for the content Jordan and jus keep on it my friend! 🙏👊🤙🌎

this is really brilliant

100% agree with learning concepts. Great video man!

What is meant by “isolate the feet”?

OMG! This makes so much sense!, and makes it so much to easier to recognise and apply. Although I had to pause and re watch a few times, but this is amazing! Thanks for the content!

This is brilliant. Concepts rather than techniques are much easier to work with as a newer student of BJJ. There's so many techniques to learn that it's easier to work with concepts and then apply techniques as you learn them. More of these pls Jordan
