Creep radar going off a bit with this guy, what he's wearing, what he's doing in his videos and who he's doing it with. Awkwardly suggestive stuff too for "bjj content". Careful ladies
@@JordanTeachesJiujitsuThat’s just one random person saying BS stuff Jordan. All the sane, reasonable people can tell you’re a respectable guy. The internet always brings out the trolls and dummies. Just soldier on.
It's bjj, none of them are considered high level grapplers when standing, basically untrained when their feet are on the floor compared to any average wrestler.
In wrestling you keep the inside hand deeper and reach up grabbing the butt. But there is a triangle risk if you really dont know what you are doing and outside hand has weak control, so both are fine although this is weaker.
gordon does this on purpose as he's openly said a few times that he's ok with his opponent expending lots of energy to not really get anywhere of value since part of his game plan is to tire opponent out
I was always taught to pull your shoulders back and look away from your choking arm this will cause a chopping motion with the hand behind the head squeezing the triangle shut
As someone who had 0 fighting experience prior to Jiu-Jitsu, I had no expectations on my first day (not in the self-depercating sense) and I just wanted to better myself and learn how to fight. My professor and some of the students greeted me into the class, informed me about the history of the martial art and taught me how to find my game. 3 years later I have became close with everyone at my gym, grown as both a fighter and a person, and I am glad I took up BJJ as my first martial art.
Go to an amateur boxing club in England. There aren't belts and rubbish like that. Its about whos good in full contact sparring. As you are training with a view to fighting, doing boxing bouts. You get a warm up. Then its bag work, skipping and shadow boxing. Hopefully you get some time on the pads or in the ring. You soon learn to look after yourself
I have been working at applying Priit’s running man, turtle, panda defense for a month or so. I am still not that good at it. But his comments around the 20th minute ring true for me. Using this against guys that are better or stronger than me. It definitely makes them feel more in control so they slow down. Aren’t as intent on trying to crush me. Which gives me more time to think & feel any openings in their pressure.
Just dived in to get over the 'weird' factor and loved it. Had a much bigger guy in my closed guard (I saw other people do this and felt extremely legit for pulling it) and he did a tripod stack type thing and broke 3 of my ribs. Carried on as thought I was just being a bit of a wimp and found out later! Still, had the bug so watched a lot of videos (including yours!) and here we are 2 years later still training and loving the game
