Man those are brutal! I did mine back in 2005! Miss those days!

Breaking down comp footage has been so foundational in my career. I’m excited to start bringing that to the videos

Thanks a lot! Excited to do more of them!

I will for sure! I have tons of ideas for them!

Thanks buddy!

Happy to hear it, hope it helps buddy!

Thanks a lot buddy! I’m gonna start working a lot more no gi soon as well. Just rehabbing my back in meantime so I can come back.

@@JonThomasBJJ can't wait bud, heal up fully or it'll come back even easier and possibly worse... I know your no gi material will be just as detail oriented!

Exactly what I’m going for, I have so many new ideas to evolve on this too! Excited to show it

It’s a super fun one for sure!!

Great place!! Going to be my first association gym!

Thanks buddy!

Happy to hear it! Hope it helps!

Happy to hear it!

Hey buddy I can definitely do a video on that soon!!

Ok great I’ll definitely keep that format, and play with more ways of improving on it

Thanks a lot buddy!!

Happy to help!

Shin to shin is great! But it’s extra good with the single leg lapel grip if you haven’t tried that before

Thanks buddy I will definitely be doing more soon!

Hahaha thanks buddy! It’s super long now!

Yeah it’s one of the most powerful positions in jiu jitsu for sure!

Happy to hear it, check out some of my retention stuff it should help a lot!

No problem happy you are enjoying the videos!!

I can definitely do some videos on drilling and good ways to train.

@@JonThomasBJJ awesome! I’ve heard you talk a lot about the value of situational sparring, but I often find it takes me some time to iron out mechanics and feel comfortable with the different options in a series before hitting it against resistance

They made a new rules where if you come up in single leg and get taken back down it’s 2 point for other guy, but they called it back in this case because he wasn’t standing long enough.

Hey buddy it’s actually filmed in 60 frames per second I was just slowing it down to .25 speed at times so it was choppy. I’m probably gonna film in 120 fps next time. Appreciate the tip!

@@JonThomasBJJ oh nice that is super slow. You're going to have huge file sizes with 120fps 😳

Hey buddy, realistically the reason you are getting knocked out of balance is so relative to the grips that he has on you, it’s very hard to say what is causing it, there is no one position that you can put your body in that will solve the issue you need to learn how to respond to the different grips. If you want you can send me a video on IG of you sparring and I can break it down for you.

Honestly I don’t think the height plays much role at all in what position I play, it’s just the body positioning. I just rolled with a guy who was 6 foot 8 and my game played the exact same way. I would worry much more about my opponents body position than his body type.

If you control the far sleeve when you sit up it is much much harder for them to do it, also if you keep your head and posture up high it’s also more difficult. Hope that helps.

Excellent question and details! So if I can’t grab the far sleeve I personally may not even go for sit up guard, I might threaten something else like bolo, since you are hiding the far sleeve it’s easier to threaten collar or belt grip for bolo. In your question I couldn’t tell if you were initiating that pass sequence once I had already sat up or when I am still down in dlr, let’s say I sat up from dlr, I put my foot really high on the hip almost under your groin somewhat at that angle it is significantly harder to pull the foot up as it is under your leg a bit rather on outside where it is easier to pull up. If you did pull it up I would immediately bail on single leg grip switch my right leg to knee shield and frame to create space and slide back then reset new grips. If you pull foot up and drive in when I still have the ankle grip then I would knee shield still but switch to the cross collar grip and try to slide back then transition to Bolo threats if that makes sense. It’s hard to explain via text sometimes. Hope that made some sense.

Thank you so much for all the awesome details! and my bad for not clarifying at what point in the hypothetical scenario as it is hard to explain in the third person. But you have answered all my concerns. Appreciate you, Professor JT!

The foot on hip being higher it is much harder for your opponent to push down as they must step back further to create the space to do it, which makes it easier to come up to the single leg. It’s also easier to push them out if their knee angle is inward, where if you push on thigh and their knee is facing inward it’s hard to push their leg back.

Yeah I threw the Lepri portion in as an after thought I didn’t cover all that in the mat portion. I will do another video in future and cover some of those sequences more in depth.

Hey buddy I’m actually in Gothenburg Sweden. But let me know if you visit someday!

@@JonThomasBJJ oh ok well thats definitely not NC lol maybe someday for sure

Hey buddy unfortunately I think this would be hard to drill solo, you could just try to visualize the move and shadow grapple I guess but it’s kind of hard to really develop without working with a partner I think.

Hey buddy the pants are beyond legal, it’s normal when you play guard that they ride up your legs especially if you have skinny legs like me. I’m not sure if you play guard a lot but if you watch a video when I’m standing they are easily at regulation length, it’s just when I lay on my back that they ride up.

I think the single leg is a very powerful and easily accessible attack. I think there is many situations where you could simplify things a lot by just taking the single leg, but also against certain postures especially in gi, attacking upper body with Omoplata triangles and collar chokes is much easier, and in certain situations bolos and ankle locks are an easier choice. So maybe 70 to 80 percent is a bit high, but I do think that there is a lot of unnecessary extra sequences that could more easily be solved with a good single leg guard.

Absolutely I actually had to slow down to .25 in this video so I think I’m future I’m gonna film at 4k120

Sometimes to get everything I need to say in the duration of time I need to slow down a lot.

Thanks buddy!

The single leg control is still super useful in no gi, but the sweep variations will be a bit different also can use it to set up heel hooks.
