Great videos, great instruction. I just watch them for hours…Melbourne, Australia

It's amazing how quickly you pick up the very basics like this.

It's also amazing how quickly you forget it all when you're tired mid-roll!

Guard:
1. Protect your neck
2. Keep good posture up
Side:
3. Avoid mount with knee up
Half guard:
4. Hold onto their leg
5. Chest pressing people away, exposing arm

Thanks!

The absolute best thing ab this video is how he immediately went straight to the point at second one of pressing play on the video. It’s a very highly effective and efficient video bc the focus is ONLY on the content & technique. 🐐💪🏼

[DanielWilson-wghg]

Just started BJJ last 6 weeks... struggling to pick anything up, your videos are helping, so thank you

[tylerrealty]

I like the idea of thinking someone has a knife when going for you neck i seem to let my opponent get grips too easy. I also need to work on my Ahm Bahs, a lot of missed opportunities.

[duckie]

I love this guy's voice and accent

[HeyItzScotch]

I'm lot shorter and lighter than most guys and I found myself being bench pressed off whenever I get any type of top-side control. Never thought of the fact that they were giving me their arm for an armbar every time. I'll have to try this next time I roll

[gogyoo]

Started 2 months ago, it's good to see I'm doing most things right. When I'm in half-guard, I'll have a triangle on that leg and they expend a lot of energy getting rid of that.

[alcapone]

Just started my BJJ journey haven't got my first GI yet 😬 this is a great help on my future roll and I'll do the best to remember all of this to be able to survive without getting submitted, thanks coach... 👍👍👍

[rfrancoi]

Man... That was incredible.. I saw my mistakes 5 times... Thank you SIr.

[PhatFrankiiie]

Excellent video. I understood what he was saying and he broke it down to simple terms. 😀🙏🏻. I think alot of people posting video forget how hard learning BJJ is. He made it simple and easy to follow. 10/10. Im subscribing. 🤙

I just started BJJ 6 weeks ago. Number one has been a big issue for me. Glad to see its number one. It’s a big reinforcement to a mistake I keep knowingly making.

[johndevine]

This video is fantastic. Have been training BJJ for only three weeks and improvement in my technique after watching this video was like night and day. Thank you. 👍

[edcunningham]

I am so glad to have found this channel. I started my BJJ journey a year ago at age 67. I have learned a few things. My defensive skills are very good. My offensive skills, not so much. What I have in my very small bag of tricks is known by everyone else and so they can defend. Coach Tom explains everything in a slow methodical fashion and repeats steps more than once. I am learning some new things that I can practice with my tribe. It will be interesting to see if I can successfully pull them off. Also

[flanker]

Letting you opponent cross face you and control your head is also a very common mistake. Spot on video, thanks coach!

[ivynova]

Everything is worse with your head down. Great affirmation! :)

[coopertribe]

Great stuff as always, Coach Tom! I'm just two years into my Jiu Jitsu journey. I'm a very busy 40 yr old with a wife, four kids and demanding job. Only able to train at my academy once or twice (if I'm lucky) per week. At this point I watch so many of your videos you are greatly impacting my rolls. Thanks for being such a great virtual coach!

[azacarruthers]

Thanks I’ve literally made all of these mistakes. Appreciate the great vids I’m really getting a lot out watching them thank u! 👍👍

[theenduropest]

insanely simple but I needed to hear this ! love the content, a absolute wealth of knowledge!

[Septynor]

Best jiujitsu channel on youtube. <3 Ty Coach Tom, please make a vid on how to defend and escape armbars (other than hitchikers)
