What a heck of a video! I can only imagine the amount of time and effort put into this. So clear and precise, it almost makes me feel guilty that I watched this for free. Keep up the awesome work!
agree, Can't imagine how much time put into this video
I’ve been black belt for a few years, training since 2008, this video was fantastic. I’ve watched it multiple times already.
This is a hidden gem. Unbelievably mind blowing on how you broke thing down and categorised them. Thanks mate.
Never stop making your videos ! I love them in their full form and am excited for your channel's discovery by others and its inevitable growth !
Your comments probably tell you everything you need to know -- this video was great. I checked out the rest of your channel and was sad to see it didn't have as much as I'd hoped (I suppose you'll have many more subs by the time you build up a library). Just know that this kind of content and format is a winner
Agreed 100%. The channel is young, but believe me when I say I’m a man with a plan. Hopefully you’ll stick around for the journey!
One of the best content that I will always keep referring to over and over! Great work and thank you!
Glad you're getting some attention, your insight on the older videos is appreciated too
Excellent work. Thank you for doing the research, compiling it and condensing it and then communicating it to us. I appreciate it.
quite possibly the most informative jiu jitsu youtube video out right now, amazing work.
Wow!! Great video. The amount of details is incredible!!
This video is incredible! Thank you for all this information! I hope you make more content.
Only two minutes in and already amazing video. Great to hear an analytic approach like bjjscout or lessimpressed/moreinvolved from the UK! More please.
oh my god, oh my god. i found a treasure on this channel. incredible analysis, i am just studying gordon's guard retention and the week before i finished gordon's guard retention dvd and your video is incredibly accurate. THANK YOU.
This video is insane, brilliant work mate!
Your knowledge level is off the chart - you deserve a belt promotion this instant
Best litterature review on a BJJ topic I have ever seen. Hope to see many others.
My god man, what art. Keep making these!
Wow technical deep dive. Well done, sir. Thank you for the hard work.
BRO WTF HOW IS THIS VIDEO GOT ONLY 1K VIEWS YOU ARE A GENIUS DUDE KEEP GOING AND REMEMBER QUALITY OVER QUALITY ANYDAY
what a great video mate. Incredible knowledge thanks for sharing
Perfect video please don’t stop making good informative content
Amazing content!
Keep it up because this will 100% give back to you in the future
Oh I haven't been this excited for a CZcams video in a while
Amazing content hope your channel grows
Dude, this is gold, nicely done
Great video, I’d be really interested to see a video about the forward and back steps concept from the Ashi group section. Or even a way to speak directly with yourself about it, I almost exclusively teach concepts at my club and I’d love to discuss it further with you
im going to have to watch the multiple times so much info worth retaining.
Amazing video. Thank you!
I dont think i saw a single incorrect position or term! I'm a brown belt and train every day as well as compete often. I know some high level black belts too. Point being I know a decent amount at this point in my career and recognize quality when I see it! Extremely well done sir.
Great video, well done!
So beautiful, thank you.
The Marcelo elbow push escape has saved me so many times in competition so effective especially against bigger opponents
Really great work!
My favorite jiu jitsu video on CZcams. The music was FUCKING PHENOMENAL!!! Thank you!!!
Wow! Great video 🙏
Wow this is a deep drive. I will watch this video again
Absolutely fantastic. Although many of those traditional passes are still dominant. Even GR forces half guard, then chest to chest half guard pass. It's possibly the most energy efficient pass you can do, the problem is getting chest to chest against someone good.
What an awesome video... thanks very much
I like the approach. Decided to watch after taking 4 classes. Not yet two weeks into my adventure with this sport. I think I understand it a little better now. My fundamentals are from practice of Tai Chi and I was thinking about how best to apply breathwork, balance, and techniques to divert energy acquired from past experience to this ground-centric movement. This video gave me some ideas. Thanks for the breakdown!
Breathing will serve you well. Breathe, stay calm survive. Only use the energy you have to use. Jui jitsu is basically just the science of efficient movement and energy expenditure. Enjoy the journey!
Thank you so much! What a job!
This is awesome! Thanks
Love the video man!
Fantastic job w this video, wow!!
Wow amazing, subbed
just what i need , thx

Great video.
This is amazing you should make one on passing and leg lock defense
Amazing Video subed and commenting for the youtube algo god. looking forward to more.
you got yourself a new subscriber
Personally for me, I think guard passing has the most difficult concepts to understand and actually apply.
But this content is GOLD. Thank you for this
Insane content
Using Mikey musemci ideas for guard has made my life a lot easier.
Each limb can either frame or hook someone, in gi you are able to do both at the same time by gripping.
Control is when you have sufficient frames and hooks to stop the opponent coming towards you or fleeing.
I think airing on the side of caution is the best bet for guard retention.... You can't have too many frames
Does he have a course on this ?
Amazing video! Thank you so much for this. Let’s all figure out a way to get this guy more likes and subs.
Hi, Ric. I like Jiu Jitsu, too. I also like your channel and subscribed. Thanks for the content. ~ Cheers
Thank you!

Good shit brotha! Oss! 🫰
Wow wow wow I’m really impressed

Amazing
Gold.
That was great
Best video
Love the legend of Zelda music @ 7:00
what a hero, today I got smashed, as I was the entire year. Hope this video gets me good.
GOLD
Will you do videos on guard passing or submissions as well? Also, do you have notes you made for your video you could share?
I'd understand saying this is also a guide for passing guard though.
Sickkk
Where does the ashi group classifications "groups 1-5" come from, a specific instructional? Cant find anything on that
Where can I find the full video for the Craig Jones roll @21:20
Only problem is your voice is too low. Had to play this in max sound and still had difficulties. But really excellent work
what? I'm playing it at 30% audio and it's loud for me
Wow
What is missing is the same thing missing from every guard retention video. The actual platform for learning to use this knowledge. We keep gaining more and more knowledge and we are not getting any better at coaching it. So you get a few standouts that Intuit all of this while everyone else gets left behind. There are many many world champions that knew absolutely none of what is in this video. And for every one of them there are thousands who know everything in this video but can't apply any of it. It is a real problem and until that problem is solved this sport will always be a small unprofessional niche. The training methods have to start spreading with the knowledge.
Why not much from elite guard retainers from lighter weights like musumeci and miyaos? Even Lachlan Giles and his focus on always protecting inside space? e.g. high pummelling over hip escapes.
For the purposes of story telling I only wanted a max of 3 athletes being referenced (Marcelo, Gordon, Lachlan). Any more than this and the pacing and length of the video would not have been as ideal. I had a whole section on Roger Gracie that I dropped as I didn't believe it fit well to the themes of the video. Nothing against the Miyaos or Mikey, I just happen to be more familiar with Marcelo, Gordon and Lachlan.
Name of synth tune at 19:30? Please and thank you!!!
The song is called 'Hold' by an artist called 'HOME'. When I get some spare time I will compile a list of all the music in the video and add it to the description. Thank you.
This is why we don't skip *LEG DAY!!!*
music?at 4.24*
The song is called 'Killer Vacation' by Chris Doerksen. I have now updated the description to include a music list for future reference. Enjoy!
is it possible to have your exel file ?
Love the content but found the music quite distracting, maybe a bit too loud?
Yeah same, music was balanced too loud compared to soft voice.
Nice vid though OP.
Fine illl get John danahers guard retention Course 😂
Creo que es un buen vídeo, pero me cuesta mucho trabajo entenderle a su acento y se complica con la música de fondo, a mejorar mi inglés
i would like this video in portuguese please 😔
Great video. I feel like a total bozo with my videos. lol
Well done at densing down Guard Retention, but if i can make a wish for future Videos: Please buy a new microphone or speak a little bit clearer. As a non native speaker i really have a hard time understanding you without the (actually really bad) youtube subtitles.
I found the video really hard to follow despite the good info, I think a lot of the terminology was just kind of hard to follow for someone not steeped in the weird danaherisms and the sound mixing made it hard to hear the narrators voice and was often distracting
Great material but turn the damn music down man, can barely hear you
Too methodical, reduces creativity and improvisation as you only follow a cheatsheet, it work more often, very american, they are so creative
How much of this jiujitsu crap can be nullified with a punch in the mouth?
Go find a gym, challenge the instructor and try it. Let us all know how that works out. 🤡

THE MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD VIDEO GAME
