I kinda hate the "won't work in the streets" mentality, since, like you said, most people just enjoy jiu-jitsu for the fun or sport aspect. So when we're training a certain move, and some guy doesn't want to drill the move as it was shown because "I'd just elbow you in the face and knock you out if you tried that on me". Like cool bro go find another partner to drill with then I'm trying to learn and have a good time I'm not trying to fight people in the streets ever...

Me too honestly. I doubt I'll ever use all this in a street fight and if I do I'm not going to be berimboloing any attacker. I don't think it's that hard to separate sport specific techniques in a real fight, and be effective with everything else you know.

Most blue belt and even some 1-2 striped white could tap out somebody on the street with two moves. Single leg -> arm triangle Arm drag rear naked choke Or pulling guard -> triangle Maybe pulling single x guard -> straight ankle If that was all i was preparing for, then it would be super boring to train I would quit after a month

I just do it for fun and don’t plan on competing, so when I train I focus on getting better at techniques I would use in a self defense scenario. Prioritize chokes, and try to avoid positions where I would be more open to strikes. I’m still a white belt so I’m sure after I feel I have perfected that part of my game I will expand on that. That being said I train every technique being presented and don’t question it, that would be cringe.

Good list Jordan! Buggy chokes, man… my friend Jourdan Chow attempts these on me every time we roll. And specifically because of that, no one has ever finished one on me. My preferred counter to the buggy choke is to laugh at the dude trying it until he gives up. So far, 100% success! And jumping guard- there’s no end of people willing to demonize all leg locks because of potential injuries, but hardly anyone speaks out against jumping guard, which has caused more catastrophic knee injuries than any other IBJJF legal techniques combined. No one bats an eye! They’ll DQ you if your leg is one centimeter too far to the left or right of the hip to be considered knee reaping, but throwing your entire body weight violently on top of the other guy’s knee joint in a compromised position? Totally fine! It’s backwards world, man.

Several of these are ones I only found out about because I tried them on people as a white belt and had partners or a coach explain it to me (over stacking, knees in the thighs to break a guard). I personally love the Berimbolo, I am not good at it but practicing and trying it in training has helped me understand inversion and my body’s position in space better and has resulted in better improvs that have helped me sweep. The scissor takedown is something I haven’t seen before and looks brutal. It’s good to know about jumping to guard. It’s not something I’d really considered and for sure won’t now.

I rarely comment, but... I totally agree with you about techniques that might hurt your training partner, but like you said about slams, it's a great idea at least in the gym to abandon a technique that could get you hurt. I think that also applies to overstacking. Why risk your own health to hold onto the submission? I'm all for exciting matches, but then again, I'm a 70 year young blue belt and my rolls are not for other people's entertainment, so slowing down the roll is good for me. I love watching your rolls and especially your breakdowns and I find them extremely entertaining. I know that if you watched me roll you'd be terminally bored, except for pointing out all the mistakes I've made! Anyway. I love your content; keep it up please!

I actually have an interesting story about over stacking. 2 guys were rolling I can’t remember their belt ranks at the time but I remember 1 guy was only maybe a year into classes and the other guy had been going for a long time. But what happened is the experienced guy was just holding new guy in his full guard trying to go easy on him and let him work on escapes and transitions from there. New decides he’s gonna stack up, but he tries to stand straight up instead building a solid base and he popped his knee out of place. It was really sad everyone felt super terrible. The new guy came back a couple times after he healed up but he stopped coming not to long after that. I think he might have felt embarrassed. Hope he keeps training though

Your thumbnail freaked me out! I climb to people's back when they're in 4 point all the time and I had a moment of panic thinking I've been doing a d**k move for years. Haha I definitely agree with guard jumping and scissor takedowns. I train as a hobby and work a physical job so anything that can torque a knee is just not worth it for me. I definitely get bothered when I get stuck in lasso or lapel guards but I take the approach that I need to learn how to attack it better. As for slams, while I would never slam someone, if you've gotten into a position to get slammed, that's your fault. My gym is more geared toward mma than sport jiu jitsu, so our philosophy is "don't let your opponent pick you up.

If you have no pain or mobility issues, you may have no problem, but as I said see a physiotherapist and they’ll be able to tell you if you have alignment issues that could develop. I don’t recommend Chiropractors, because I believe the muscle and tendons hold us together. They have to dealt with first. I don’t believe in using any force, or adjustments as Chiropractors call them, while your muscles are strained. However, there or those Chiropractors who know this and take a multifaceted approach.

Don't let yourself get slammed is the best advice. The examples show why

Exactly. Better to let go and live to train another day.

We trained the scissor one to knee bar yesterday, I was scared of doing something wrong, fortunately everyone made it alive. Also someone new kicked me full strength in the shin while in his open guard, I told him to please not kick and he replied he was trying to sweep me, lol.

It surely can be done in a safe manner, but in my opinion it's simply too risky. And I hope your shin is alright 😅

Honestly I can't help but mention heel hooks. I love leg locks as much as the next guy, but while knee bar, toe hold and straight ankle are quite predictable and can be tapped out from easily, heel hook is just vicious cause by the time you feel the pain, it's too late.

Ya makes sense, but still, it's a submission like any other when it comes to safe "procedures" (defense and escape). I agree it's more dangerous than other submissions might be, but it certainly doesn't fall into the same category as, for example, a Scissor Takedown 🙂

Jumping guard and Scissor Takedowns because of the danger and Buggy Chokes are silly for most people because of some of the reasons you noted: poor body alignment, but also most people are giving up a guard pass just to get one…the right people make you pay, but most are looking for Gram Reel. 🤜

I use the scissor take down everyday I'm 130lbs and it's the easiest way for me to takedown larger opponents. I think if your at weight disadvantage it becomes safer say like 50lbs and up.

@JordanTeachesJiujitsu

I get your point man, but it's still much more unsafe for training partners than other takedown techniques are. In competition alright, but in training... I think your training partners' health is more valuable than getting a takedown 🙂

Can I add Tani Otoshi please?? Done incorrectly it's very similar to the leg scissor, Danaher bans it and I've had my knee wrecked by it too!

Ouch sorry man, hope it's all healed up now?

When I get hit in a buggy choke attempt I'm normally quick to get my forearm in to frame. I politely tell my opponent I only know one escape and that's to frame my considerable strength on their jaw and neck and ask if they want to reset or remove before i continue. They only usually volunteer to continue once

When I started jiu-jitsu nobody took the time to tell me about any illegal moves or "dickmoves" I saw a can opener on KZread looked simple and effective, which it was when I used it. However it caused a huge upset with the people that I used it on. Nobody explained jiu-jitsu etiquette too me. I just thought the higher belts I used the can opener on were just salty because I beat them.

Ya man, that's also the coach's responsibility, to explain stuff like that. But also the training partners should be kind enough to let you know what you're doing wrong, especially when it comes to stuff like can openers lol

If someone try’s jumping closed guard in comp, I’m slamming them 100%

my coach once did a berimbolo on me long before i had any clue what that was. i had neck pain and muscle spams for about 2 weeks :D

So overstacking would be when you continue past the point of having effectively gained something from it like an escape or pass? I don't want to overstack my training partners and I switch to something else as soon as the stack has accomplished what I wanted but sometimes people are stubborn and keep us there for a longer time like in a triangle that is not quite in for instance.

@JordanTeachesJiujitsu

Stacking is pinning the shoulders to the mat. Over stacking is going past that point and instead putting all that pressure on the neck.

I had a guy pull a jumping closed guard on me and unfortunately my leg was right under him as he landed. This was about 4 months ago, and my knee hasnt been right ever since. I dont blame him, but it still sucks.

I gotta see someone about it asap haha. And agreed, I don't think it's that difficult to defend if you defend early.

What about the one in the thumbnail? I did it once to a person, not really quickly at all. The person slid, hit their shoulder and then started complaining about the neck, as if I just attempted to paralyze them.

7:24, you know, I'd say the same thing that applies to the slam applies here, losing position is preferable to breaking your neck.
