I wish more instructors would talk about principles, it's such a crucial aspect of bjj and yet it gets overlooked a lot

4 year 1 stripe blue belt here. Half way through and I had to stop and comment that this video is straight gold

This is one of the GREATEST free guard passing principles videos ever made. PLEASE don’t take it down. You need to write a book on principles. I’m drilling with my sons… 10 and 13.

2 weeks into my bjj journey and this channel has become my go-to after class. I always come back and watch videos on the positions I struggled in that day. Thanks for all this info Jon !

Professor Jon your passing principles are truly the core of guard passing! It’s easy to remember the principles vs passing technics because the process of passing has too many variables that are difficult to predict , but the principles allow you to stay ahead of many technical transformations. When you add both technical skills and practical principles they complement each other! I ‘m definitely going to add the principles to my game! Thank you for sharing and pushing Jujitsu to the next level! Coach AL

One of the best conceptual videos out there, only missing one thing: chapters!

This is *such* a good video. I might only be a 3-stripe white belt, but from now until forever, whenever the technique of the day is a pass (or a guard/escape), that technique will be filtered through this lens that you've just opened my eyes to. 🤙

Deep dives into conceptual processes are my favorite types of videos from you

Hello master! White belt with a few stripes here. Thanks for the content first of all :) As a suggestion I would tell you that maybe in your videos you could include a breakdown - every now and then - of systems/principles from either IBJJF fights or even from your students sparring, highlighting the application or lack of application of these concepts. Spending just a few minutes after class with my instructors asking "what did I do wrong there?" is priceless because of the wisdom they share, so consider this: in BJJ the majority of practitioners is white/blue: show them (me) what goes wrong during our sparring and then a top-notch application of what should be done instead from IBJJF tournaments.

Thank you for this! Brown belt here and this is extremely helpful.

This is GOLD, THANK YOU!! 🔥🔥🔥🙌

Love your breakdowns - your videos are an awesome mix of narrated concepts and live-narrated techniques. This is such a great format! Vid is 🔥🔥🔥

Great video! Lucas Lepri visited our gym in April (FF in Milwaukee), and he covered this principle some. This did an excellent job expanding on that further and in a few other passing situations then he covered.

Really enjoyed your seminars in Halifax. It changed my mount game a lot.

Really fantastic video, Jon!

Great vid as usual thanks Jon.

Jon! This is one of your best videos yet. So much excellent information in this, I will certainly share this with my team. 🙏🙏🙏

Very nice!! Not many people discuss the foundational principles of Jitz. This really breaks it down. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. OSS!

Awesome mini-instructional. I didn’t mind paying for the ones you sell because your youtube channel has 100 times more free content of the same quality. Thanks!

Great channel! Always incredible videos!

Best instructional information on the web! I am 60 and a blue belt still training, and this information is extremely helpful! Thank you!

This is GOLD!! such good teachings!

Great content as always, thank you so much

Thank you this has practical principles that can be applied in the next training session.

As always, great vid jon! I have trained with jon and espen, these guys are simply awesome, not just talented, but great teachers and people.

Awesome principles breakdown, thanks for your videos they help alot. Keep up the good work.

Your vids are a must to watch it really helped my jujitsu so much thank you 🙏🏾

Incredible details Jon, I like how after the concept you revealed it changed the way I viewed the competition footage afterwards and it all made such better sense. Thanks so much bro!

Awesome video, really loving the principles-based approach

Quality content and great examples. 🔥👏

This was great, thank you. I've been sticking my foot in front of people's chest for years and thought it was just a late (desperate) guard pass defense for me. Glad to see other folks do this haha. I will definitely be teaching your passing principles too!

Love your principles based approach!

Very nice content!!

Thanks for always putting out such high quality and well thought out content Jon. These videos are obviously a lot of work.

Omg yes. This is exactly what I needed!!! Thank you

Extremely valuable, I’m grateful to find content like this for free

You are such an insightful teacher! Thanks for the info my friend.

Very useful information presented clearly. Great video!

Awesome video Jonathan

I love this format!

Great job! I love your content.

Always blown away by your content JT!

Amazing stuff! As always really helpful!

So good. Thank you!

Love all your videos but concept driven seems to stick best with me. Thanks for so much good content!

Always amazing content, thank you!!

Great video. Defo deserves a comment. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Great stuff ozz from Australia

Excellent video

Again. Great stuff. Always helping me advance.

This was a great video with a great setup and it taught a lot You got me to subscribed 👍👍

I watch you at half speed mate, it’s a real treat, I can absorb everything and it’s like watching Trevor on GTA when he’s had a few. You should try it 😄 (superb vids)

Love all the Lo HL clips 🙌

I loved this video. Many a tad long for my attention span but I managed 😂 This is basically my style of guard passing but loads of details I will pay attention to in the future because there is a lot of room for improvement. I struggle with very flexible guard players. So plenty to take away here as regards them trying to get the foot back in. I will be applying this stuff tomorrow & see how I get on. Thanks for the great content!

absolute gamechanger.

Passing like this has never been an issue for me, my issue is either not being far enough back to where they have a collar grip or a grip on my lapel and i start to play their game. I know she wasn’t trying but if this video had an active bottom player where the hands are also involved I think that would help a lot

Thank you 👊

So much good material thx! The one I’m going to try is the step back around their knee shield. I’ve been stuck behind some strong knee shields and I think this will help.

Great job, really enjoy your hard work

man your content is so choice

Amazing explanations, like the broll of competition showcasing the points you're making

Incredible instructional, thank you 🙏

Tried this today, dude straight kicked me on my face. Currently in the emergency room re-watching the video.

This is one of the best videos if not the best out there to understand the pass system .Oss

Hey Jon, Thank You 🙏

Amazing details thank you

Thank you for these principles. I'm enjoying this format. What are your thoughts on ecological dynamics coaching applied to submission grappling (e.g. constrainst led approach, "games" vs drilling, etc)?

amazing content!

I enjoy this video very well!

So many details!

Great video thanks 👍

This was more great content.... when is the Patreon coming?

I appreciate the combination of older and newer competition footage. I don't always know what to look for so thank you for this

Thanks!

Incredible video. I don't think most people realise the value they get for free here.

no critique, love the content

I'm a blue belt and my passing is weak and this will definitely help, I'm much better off my back. I seem to get tired much easier trying to pass guard, mostly I get tired from fighting grips, especially when the higher belts grab my collar and use it to break my posture when I'm standing and pull my head down, I usually have to go to lower level on one knee to relieve the pressure, anything to help me with this would be much appreciated. I think half my problem is letting them make grips and taking too long to make my move.

Do you think the self frame - foot between guard retention style is too flexibility dependent and will break down as one gets older

As a purple belt with primarily open guard game this is sick for those times I'm on top. You're right about the grips at the end, we'd like to know more, for example, sleeve grip and kick off the pant leg is a killer and often what I fight for, lose that and you lose the position, any ideas on how to stop them getting it back?

This video gave me another Video idea: the pros/cons of wearing mismatched gi bottoms - overexplain 😅

Hate to brag, but I am a white belt with an intimidating amount of two stripes on it. Yet, I can still learn a lot from your videos.

I never been to a bjj competition the footage looks really cool like a movie trailer.

Good

You should link the second channel in the description!

Would you be interested in doing a seminar in Springfield IL?

Usually I get a takedown on the opponent, or we start sitting and I take him to the back. In eigher case my opponent gets time to grap my sleeves and I end up between his legs. I can get one of his legs to the ground the other one I try to put in knee shield position, but then proceeding is kind of awkward. Removing a sleeve grip would require both hands, freeing one leg and he could regrip, but I need to circle around the knee shield, stepping over the pinned leg I'd get to half guard, but with insane chest distance. Help would be helpfull😂

Would love you to talk about the ecological approach. It seems your venturing into that concept with this video

👌
