Please continue making videos. As a smaller male grappler, many of your short instructionals have been some of the best I've watched.

@@jonathantoribio6641 In Sweden the average height is around 180cm. I’m 172cm. Most women in this country are taller than me. Being shorter helps with wrestling. - but not with mma where tall people can elbow me or suplex me. There’s upsides to being shorter but there’s also downsides. - I regularly compete in submission wrestling I wouldn’t wanna meet a tall bloke like Sean o malley in mma.

I was promised Nyan Cats, all I got was very honest explanations of improve my mount position.

I’m sorry. I made the cover and reel after we already uploaded the video 😭 I too realized I should have put more cats in the actual video. Alas, it was too late. It is something I deeply regret. We promise more cats in the future. 🌈 🐱 ✨

This right here. She has the perfect amount of technical detail but keeping the info at a fast enough pace my ADD doesn't kick in. She completely changed how I do my arm triangles.

I'm a 230lbs 6'0 and trust me, these are life saving tips for any grappler. bigger grapplers tend to overdo when it comes to pressure and strength, sometimes lacking the finesse to actually pin down opponents. I'm recently looking at more videos target for "smaller grapplers" to focus more on the technique and energy saving tips for the matches, appreciate the video!

I can totally relate as a bigger stronger guy that started out rolling with much smaller and weaker guys we tend to rely on our strength to get certain positions and escape submissions instead of smart efficient technique. Then when you go up against someone somewhat better than you, you can’t really submit them and it’s hard for them to submit you until you get exhausted. Getting tips from smaller grapplers really helped me to not rely on my strength as much and conserve energy so I can go for longer, also the strength difference is even more exaggerated when you use your body in a more efficient way bio mechanically.

Same. I'm the big guy but my mount still sucks. I'm usually too scared to use my weight and in harder rolls where I do use it, I don't have the control and awareness to do anything other than smash.

The transition from side control to mount was a thing of beauty. I've been getting blocked so many times and watching this made me realize the major holes in my game. Thank you 🙏

Been doing bjj for years now and that was THE clearest explaination ive ever seen. Please make more of these using the same method. Also you get a like, sub and comment.

So much top notch content in bjj these days, just gotta sift through a lot of click bait stuff. Watched a Vid a couple weeks ago from a Globetrotters camp, Chris Paines how to defend everything. I've never grown my game so much from a single video before. Connected a lot of dots for me.

The way you explain the crossface already is a big improvement for my technique. Thanks Ffion!

I LOVED THIS! PLEASE KEEP POSTING! YOU'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITE GRAPPLERS!

This is one of the best mount tutorials I've ever seen, and I've watched a lot of them. There is so much fantastic detail here. Tips for controlling, making bridging difficult, knowing when to bail but not lose control....simply marvelous. That bonus tip for moving to mount from side control is pure gold, which I think will close a gaping hole in my game. Much appreciated! Thank you ma'am!

That last tip was exactly what I needed to hear. I'd always thought the goal of side control was pretty much just to get to mount asap but I'd never thought about actually setting up a good mount from side control. I think that alone will make a big difference to my mount game. Thanks!

Love your technique videos!! Please keep them coming. Hope you’re healing quickly.

Smaller grappler here - great video with lots of very helpful details. The "blanketing" vs "concaving" concept was especially useful for me - I was already kind of doing this, but didn't fully get the why of it until now. Thank you! 🎉

Huge fan, pls do more instructionals - your teaching style is spot on and very relatable, even if we light years behind where you are skill wise :). Great stuff, immediately useful. Just started playing mount a lot in a room of much larger opponents, and will put this to use straight away. Esp the cross face details - solid gold.

I am learning so many tips from your videos. I am a small person, so I appreciate your knowledge. The tip on the timing of coming into mount is brilliant.

This was awesome Ffion! I was literally thinking that I needed to search for a mount tutorial because my mount sucks hahaha! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for differentiating between pressures! Tripod vs blanketing was the best and most concise way to illustrate the difference.

Subscribed immediately.

This is great stuff, Ffion! Your instruction is very clear and organized - looking forward to more like this.

The advice from approaching the mount position is great. It made a ton of sense when you said not to get into mount when the elbows are down.

This just popped up on my KZread feed. I find it interesting to see how your career progresses. I can already see you are getting more comfortable in front of the camera, and really good pointers. There’s a lot BJJ content, but what makes a move work and not work is very nuanced and down to the fine details. I will be following to see how your channel develops.

This video covers so many details so well. Please do more!

This was extremely helpful, especially explaining (and showing) why you do things, and when. Where the position is strong or weak

Loved it ! Also very good for relatively bigger people. You give the why of the positions, which is always the most helpful :)

thanks, I appreciate the verbal descriptions of what to do and why. Along with the descriptions of what not to do or the alternates.

Excellent explanations. Awesome video. Love learning from a champ.

I really enjoyed this video and specifically your way of interacting with Gabriel is really wholesome! The details were great, but for a nearly 12 minute video, I would love to you either use chapters or just do a 20 second recap at the end of the video, where you just name all the thing you showed. This would really help me using this video as learning material for practise tomorrow. Looking forward to your next video!

This is probably one of the best instruction videos I've seen in a long time...

This video is awesome. Such a clear explanation for practical problems we face to keep the mount

Thank you for the video on mount position. I feel more confident after understanding how to position your opponent to keep them from bridging me off so easily. 👍

Been looking for some mount tips for some time and I have to be honest this is the best video I've encountered so far. Thank you so much for the knowledge

Great explanation of how, when and why to take mount as well as when not to take mount. One of the best! Thank you

Refreshing to see a detailed breakdown of position. As a lighter guy these little details are what I need to perfect. Thank you.

Love this!! Very precise and really helped me understand the mount better. Please more videos like this! Maybe on guard retention or passing !!

I’ve been struggling with mount recently. This was very helpful and gave great reminders in solidifying the position! Super excited to use this in a tournament coming up! Thank you!

This was so well explained and informative! I also like that you went straight to the point without a superlong intro. I feel like a lot of bjj content creators seem to have such big ego and that becomes the whole point of the video (even when they talk about humbleness). Thank you so much ❤

I got into Jiu Jitsu about 1.5 years ago and I brought my daughter with me almost from the start. I'm super happy that you started your own channel! I saw a few of your tutorials on Jiu Jitsu X, and I told my daughter about them then. It's great to have tips and pointers out there for smaller grapplers. (At 6'2" and 240 lbs it can be hard for me to explain things to her if she can't make them work in her own weight class.)

Awesome details!!! Thanks for sharing and please keep it coming!!!

How did she know my mount sucks?

I think it's spies. Well, idk about you, bit I better start working on improving my founts & sub transitions or she might come pay me a visit. And it won't be a friendly one lol.

So good! Thank you Ffion!

Some really useful tips in here - thanks! 👍🏻 This is the first vid of yours I've seen, so I went to loom for more, but there doesn't seem to be any more similar content (more stories than instructional) - would be great to see more instructional content as you present it well and clearly know what you're doing! Entertaining and informative 👍🏻 👌🏻 😊

That was boss that! Loved the detail about the blanket approach - I'm always getting rolled in mount so this is perfect for use against the heavier grapplers.

Love your practical and insightful approach. The one submission that works for me most of the time is learnt from you! Thank you

Love all your stuff, keep killing it!

This was fantastic. Super concise, easy to follow and full of gems to improve my mount

Highly technical! Love every detail that you reveal!❤

Fantastic breakdown, thank u for sharing Ffion.

Excellent video. Really good explanation. Liked the transition from side to mount at the end setting up arm and head control

I like this series of details, I don't know why, but you make it sound so clear and precise yet in a very relaxed fashion, and I am a fan of your games, you and Gabriel, are very special, very inspiring athletes, and personalities 😊😊😊

I’m so excited you got a KZread going!!! Me and my gf are small grapplers these were great tips thank you 🙏🏻

Please make more tips and techniques videos like this! You explain things so clearly!

That was perfect and much needed to see.

Outstanding teacher making an outstanding video. As a brown belt and BJJ video addict, I'll say she could be one of the best instructors from what I see. It's refreshing to see a genuinely nice, light, and unintentionally funny personality come together with clear communication and solid grasp of high level (championship level) fundamentals. Pronouncing her "th" 's like an "f' is also classic. Thank you Ffion, looking forward to more; we'll be waiting.

This was clear and right to the point(s)! Must be great fun to have you as an instructor.

Fantastic, clear, concise instruction with great details. Thanks Ffion, this is great content!

This is so helpful - thanks Ffion!

Your techniques are top notch. Keep the videos coming. Great job!

Would love more of these!! Great breakdown and this is super helpful for me

Great tips thank you Professor!!!

Very clear and well explained instructional!!! I enjoyed it very much and learned a lot. Also your tone and sound of your voice is pleasant. I dont zone out like I do with some of the other jitsu instructionals. Please do more!!!

This was incredibly helpful, thank you! I always have trouble with mount, but this definitely makes me feel more comfortable with maintaining my position.

So helpful! Thank you for the in depth explanations for different situations & reactions from mount!

Awesome material, all clear and super practical, please keep it coming!

Great content! Honest. Genuine. Funny. Insightful. Loved it. Thanks.

This was great, love the explanation and thought process.

Really enjoyed your way of teaching! Great video!

Thank you. This was brilliant, definitely taking this to class tomorrow. Please keep making content.

This was tremendously well done: very clearly explained/demonstrated and included rationale behind each decsion.

Love it! So helpful to hear you break down moves for smaller women because you understand the problems 🙌

Great job! Super clear. Also always love it when not just the coach but also the uke is an absolute destroyer haha

Great explaining the finer points of maintaining mount! Looking forward to anything similar you may do for keeping side-control.

Wow, great mount concepts. Very well taught, thank you. Good luck on your tournaments, you're a great competitor.

So clear, so good! Keep these up

great break down! I also prefer other positions to mount at times and I'll try some of this to help improve my outcomes. Thanks for spelling it all out!

Great details. One of the best mount tutorials I have seen.

you're my fave instructor, very easy to understand please keep posting content

Really good instructional video. Please keep them coming. Thank you!

This helped answer so many questions I had about trying to keep mount. Thanks!!

hey Ffion, thanks for the clear explanation, hope to see more technique videos!

So helpful! Please keep posting!

Great tips !! Love this vid

I really liked this! Super clear and focused.

This was really fantastic and clear instruction, many thanks to you. I am an older (46-year old) blue belt and have historically always struggled in top mount ie easily bucked off etc. Will try to apply these concepts now. Thanks again.

The instruction and detail is so great. Thank you.

So great!! And thanks for being so real. It’s a bit of comic relief and we appreciate it

These were some very solid details. Thanks!

This was great, thanks for sharing!

Super nice details and very helpful. Awesome job explaining things as well, thanks.

Great video! I love to see more videos like this.

Love this video, thank you! Can you make a video of a few takedowns that you can chain together in the gi?

Amazing instructions and Bob Ross like chill mood. Thanks! Please make more of these!

Excellent as always

really good video - please continue breaking down techniques! a continuation of the mount with attacks or troubleshooting would be great!

Good stuff! Really needed the end portion on peeling the arms before taking mount 🙏

been looking for a video like this for a long time,keep going your videos are the besst!

Excellent format and details, thanks

Awesome!! I struggle w/ mount - all of your tips were super helpful.

So many great details here, looking forward to more videos like this :-)

Great work! Thank you!

Thank you for this video! Perfect for what we are working on right now.

Just watched your documentary on Alec Baulding's channel, and the algorithm knew exactly what to do. This is enormously helpful and explained perfectly, and we get the bonus of it being so aesthetically pleasing with your demonstration!
