dang red headed country thor, i needed this. thank you sir

I’m a 2.5 month white belt 🤣. I’ve been trying to find ways to start rolls other than just wait for an attack and try to defend. This is super helpful!

The "from the knees" is a big problem. No fight starts that way, unfortunately most people start this way b/c of space concerns....it's a bad aspect of BJJ.

Thank you for this video. We don't start from the knees very often, but sometimes we do when the mats are packed and don't have the space to go full takedowns. I really appreciate the little details you convey.

Damn! You are a magician and a great teacher. Simple yet powerful condos and techniques that are practical. Got a new sub here instantly.

It's awesome when I stumble onto a great video by someone so close to home. Hello from Ooltewah!

This is what I needed bro thanks

Got yourself another subscriber. I appreciate you. Thank you ❤

Thank you so so much for posting this video. I was always unsure what to do starting from the knees. I would always pull guard. This was very detailed and informative! Post more of these types of videos please!

Im a noob white belt and been looking for more effective ways when starting at knees, ill be trying some of these on Monday, thank you.

Thank u

That knee pick was great. I used it twice last night. Thanks a lot.

Yo you went balls in with this video. Super impressive and your gonna help a-lot of people.

First time back on the mat after nearly a year off and got absolutely pummelled starting from the knees in Gi. Wish I’d watched this first! Fair to say I’ll be studying this before my next class, thanks

Thanks, amigo. I started learning ground fighting. Much appreciated.

I definetly found some answers to my questions. Thank you very much!

Exactly what I was looking for.

Great ideas for when starting on the knees. I don't usually start on my knees if my opponent does, but some of the newer guys do and these are some thing I can try out and show them. Thanks!

I don't have anyone start from the knees, even in our fundamentals classes. Instead we just do 3 & 3 from guard, or half guard, or put the higher belt in mount or side body etc. Seen too many people, even after being explained etiquette, just pull someone over their knees and get tweaked.

Great video, coach! Looking forward to watching more.

Just what I was looking for. OSS!!!

You explain and break down the skills really well .. Thank you ..

All good stuff, great explination of why too. Thanks.

Great video. Thank you 🤜🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for the great tips!

Great stuff man

At my club, there's a lot high school type groups of people, who just talk to their own group, and kind of exclude new white belts.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

I loved the replays! Good stuff as usual!

so good...

I need to watch more of this than flytraps and shaolin sweeps. Thanks

Just starting my bjj journey next week so will defo be studying up so I don't get destroyed quickly. Great vid and tips. Thanks.

Excellent video Thankyou

Great video

Very helpful, thanks for the upload. Subscribing now!

Great stuff 💪

Awesome instruction! Thanks!

Great stuff! Thank you.

Thank you dude. Now I can see why my arm drags are so slopy and my Knee tap doesn't work. Armdrags are like karate hikite (pulling the hand back in the hip as hard as you can) while you drive the attacking hand, in this case the sleeve/wrist hand. And knee taps looks a lot easier if you bend your elbows in. Greetings from Brazil.

Sweet vid

good stuff, thanks

peace . good stuff bro.

If all fights and competition starts from the standing position WHYYYY do all BJJ gyms insist on starting from the knees? Why are we giving up the importance of a takedown?

Great video! This has helped me out a lot. Question, what brand GI is Breck wearing?

Muito bom

Never underestimate the check-neck gingers. They're the furians of the human race.

That gi is nice...anyone id it?

I hate starting from the knees and that’s all we do

Tips on starting from the knees: don't.

what is that GI?

I always have my guys start one sitting and one kneeling. There is absolutely no point to midget wrestling. It doesn't translate to real takedowns and wastes time and energy. If I see two white belts midget wrestling I immediately break it up and throw them with some of my blue/purple belts.

Honestly I do not see any benefit of starting on the knees. It just makes you alienated to wrestling and judo which you will need in competition and in self defense. It also makes bjj a lot more unrealistic and keeps you from progressing.

Knee wrestling is totally useless in bjj training, if you want to wrestle do it standing ; if you don 't, pull guard or try to pass depending of what training partner did

Thank you!
