This vid is GREAT, because it's structured and very pedagogical: 1. Gripfight, gripfight, gripfight. Gripfight to gain posture and start the technique. If you do not win on gripfighting you'll never be able to start the technique, because you can't posture 2. Have multiple options , left and right, from knees and standing 3. Be very quick for speed-based passes, and be very heavy for pressure based passes concentrating your weight on the points of pressure 4. Stabilise the pass, after you pass get immediately on-after the opponent and control his hips
// Tl;dr // SUMMARY // 1. Gripfight, gripfight, gripfight 2. Don't be a one-trick pony / have multiple options 3. Be fast for mobility (speed-based passes) or heavy for pressure 4. Stabilize the pass
wow! Thankyou for breaking this down step-by-step. After watching 5 mins, I already learned alot. It's things that coaches doesn't always say why it's important but they are. Here in this video, you explain everything!
I'm about a 3, almost 4 month white belt, and your videos are helping me so much. Right now I'm just trying to build my base of fundamentals, and it seems like for every question I run into, there's a Kesting video to help with it.
Osss...Stephan. I am new to the world of Bjj and I must say that you are one of the most clear and interesting instructors I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Thanks you for sharing, you have a new subscriber.
You sir, besides mastering BJJ and grappling skills, is a true educator. Very techinical, skilled speecher, clear concepts and a clever way to organize the content. I´m brazilian, did BJJ for quite a while (although not highly graduated, did mostly submission style), but I´m a teacher myself. And and just hope all the BJJ instructors where like you, because most of them are VERY good athletes and fighters, but not that good in teaching. Keep up the good job! And thanks a lot!!
Thanks for a great video Stephan. I'd love to see your take on strategies and concepts for retaining guard. Maybe if someone does a sort of bullfighter pass and pins your knees together, what you can do. Things like that. Keep up the great work !
Hi Stephan , I have been checking your videos and I must say you mention really interesting and important things , I am BJJ beginner practitioner , it is true what you say people talk about technique as the only resource , but sometimes part of the technique itself goes with additional elements, such speed or heavy pressure, I was one of them who focused primarily on the technique but you can find surprises if your approach isn't realistic enough Morris
Great video. I've watched it 3 times so far. #4 may help me at work. If I don't know what to do, just say "stabiliiize", "stabiliiize". I have to work on the accent.
One way to pass the guard is to pass some gas. LOL Stephan, you're awesome haha. Seriously, been binge watching all of your videos right now and I must say they are very useful and detailed! You break down technical techniques for easy application. :D
