Three Simple Tricks To Massively Improve Guard Retention 

Hope it helps buddy! Retention is frustrating but makes a huge difference when you get it and jiu jitsu becomes way more fun.

Heck, I need this as a brown belt! Thanks Jon. Now I need to do more crunches.

Me, too. I hate people flanking my open guard…. Happens almost every time I roll, and I know there must be a better way…

Thanks a ton hope it helps you on way to purple belt!

Thanks a lot!

Yeah proper angling makes everything else so much easier!

He feet on bicep or wrist makes a massive difference if you aren’t doing it already so hope it helps!

Texas is the best!

Not exactly sure what type of pass you're asking about, but a good general principle is immediately break the grips your opponent gets. Especially if these grips are on your legs when you're playing butterfly. Having your legs controlled and shutting down your hooks is what kills a butterfly guard. So as soon as they grab your pants, break that grip. Or divert their hand before it even gets to your pant leg and turn it into your own grip. If they're bodylock passing, shooting for underhooks as soon as they go for the bodylock. that way you will still have some control and can try to elevate/create some distance. If they get a full bodylock and you have no underhooks its gonna be rough to maintain guard. Hopefully this helps a little

Hahaha a lot of people have

Thanks buddy

Hahah I don’t tan, burn or pale are only options lol

Haha hope they aren’t either!

A lot of people haven’t seen the original content and it gets buried in algorithm so I do repeat videos often , but I’m always updating my positions too so I usually am adding in a lot of corrections if I revisit a position.

Great question! Actually it doesn’t it’s seems like it should but you are absolutely capable of having that shoulder blade off mat while at the same time hitting floor with your elbow. Also when you already turned in a bit the elbow on floor won’t matter as much because you have already turned in, in the cases where you get flattened or turned away a little it will matter a little more to help you in the fight to get turned back in.

@@JonThomasBJJ oh I see!! Thanks for clarifying. 🤙
