There are a lot of fundamental details I have missed in my training that you have brought to my attention and provided clarity. Thanks.

Same!

I really appreciate the split format of the videos because we get to see the physical action while also having it supplemented by clear audio (sometimes your mic is muffled during the technique) and your excellent analysis. Great videos!

@JonThomasBJJ

Yeah in this one I noticed the muffled component after filming and made best with what I had, I definitely want to work on getting better way to do audio so I avoid that.

The mix of footage is excellent, keeps me engaged but also helps illustrate what you're teaching. It's always great to see clips of comp footage or live rolling in an instructional, and the talking head parts from your lounge break up the action and add another element too. Always loved your videos but they do get better and better

Happy to hear it! It’s a lot of fun too as I learn the process better I can make better and better videos and it becomes easier to do

i found this channel a few month ago, i'm a 15 year purple belt finally working on my BB again-and i must say you explain stuff super clear and at a high level...love it...i'm here for it brother

I like the format. I believe Ffion did something very similar last week at WNO in that she shot in for chest to chest control on top before stepping over the foot that Rocha had outside her hip preventing the knee cut.

This format is great! You do an excellent job explaining the stages of the technique with dialog and video. Oss

Thank you I try to mix the concepts with the mat examples and sparring clips

Goal/obstacle/approach is such a great format. What are my goals, what are the barriers and how do it address them. 50% opacity title screens at the beginning of each segment would be help keep my attention. But you’re basically doing that. Love these man. Keep up the good work

This content and the clarity in details is a gold mine. I noticed so many things I was not doing just by watching it. ( I selfishly don't want the channel to grow so that less people know these secrets 😂) but really want your channel to flourish out there for the amazing content you put out , great fan from India 🇮🇳

This format is great…love the detail of pulling away or misdirecting to get them to begin a pull to set up the drop!

I really like the split format where you provide additional explanations… ALL of your videos are amazing! Keep doing what you do!!!

That format was very insightful and added small details that is often missed. Thank you.

Current format is perfect. Awesome work man! Thank you! One selfish ask from me is to have more frequent videos. I've been religiously rewatching your videos and if I can give them ten likes each i would. =)

My sincere gratitude for providing such valuable content. I still recall witnessing your use of this material during our seminar in Yellowknife, and my curiosity was immediately piqued. The video contains a substantial amount of content to digest, which I believe will greatly benefit me on my journey in BJJ. Thank you immensely for your contribution.

I like the live sparring footage along with the technique as explained by you please keep this format up.

Love the separate educational technique using visual and analogies.

I find that the mixed format really enhances the instructional

I liked the format of this video with the explanation videos and then showing the clip of it in sparring mode to align the lesson with real time visual 👍

I definitely enjoy and benefit from this new split-style format. And congrats on the growth of this channel!

The editing on this video is phenomenal. Love hearing the explanation over the video examples. Black belt level production and instruction. Lol

Professor J! I prefer on mat explanation imo as your in “motion” all of the time when explaining, but as usual exxxx cellent tutorial as ever 🙇🏾

The mix of on mat explanations and sparring narration is great! The smaller room could use acoustic treating though. If you have extra gym mats lying around those actually work pretty well as echo reducers.

I like the split format - feels a lot clearer

10 years detrained here, and your videos are helping me remember details that my body forgot after the long break. Thanks so much for these breakdowns! I also train with some other students from the Jacare lineage as well, so you're well known around my area. I recommend your videos to everyone.

I love this format - its exactly the sort of mix of information and example I need. Great work Jon - many thanks! Oss.

Thank you jon, ur videos are very unique and helpful

Boom. In swing dancing we call this concept "following the follow" as opposed to "leading the follow." I've been using this concept the last six months to close space or destabilize my opponents for sweeps. Fantastic analysis, Jon! Great format to help consolidate and appeal to varying BJJ players.

This format was dope. I mainly do no-gi, so I took away the concept of jamming frames. Maybe something like someone pushing away with a frame then pulling me with a collar tie to off-balance me will happen, but I'm not sure since I haven't been aware of this passing concept. Really cool stuff. Also feels very advanced lol.

Excellent.

The on-mat explanation is really lovely because you explicity present what is going on (eg what grip we get and where). With the sparring commentary I frequently get confused because everything is everywhere and it's a mess. Unless you edit the videos to add arrows etc, it would confuse me. That's my opinion, I really love on-mat explanations and believe you should keep them. You're one of the the best if not the best BJJ online coaches. Thank you so much.

I one hundred percent agree, on may is just so much more useful for explaining. I find the views and engagement is way more when I do narrations for some reason so I’m trying to find a way to fit both,
