[swordofmanjushri]

This is the #1 best Jiu-jitsu video I have ever seen.

[cincijazzdrummer]

Wow great sequences i loved the transition to the moves thanks!

[KonstantinI]

Hi

I have a question. In transition from full guard to side control is that not dangerous to put your head/neck between your opponents legs?

[MrWilliamsonFilms]

@KonstantinI nope

[robg212]

Excellent!



[WolfmanDan2012]

"Advanced basics" that's a juicy contradiction.

[soul0luos]

"You just get your solid moves and you shove it down their throat and they can't say anything about it, and you just keep going until they give up." Sounds like a good strategy to me!

[aikipablo100]

Muy bueno, pero no siempre es tan facil !!

[kevenjinedflanders]

BJ

king of bjj

[djseriousbizness]

Real game from the master.

[FITcortez]

bjj



[joeltsmitty]

I'm so glad we have Youtube we can see a world-class BJJ practitioner teach us the basics. Bj Penn rocks.

[kankerturk123]

4:40~4:50 is legendary

[kankerturk123]

2:06 LMAO! that would be dangerous

[yellowsneakers234]

This guy is my hero. He can lose the rest of his fights and I'll still be a die hard fan of his. I know he'll get that belt back tho. He's a true fighter.

[iBuLL3Tz]

Annoying voice

[smithcj97]

BJ Penn rules

[IGPOD25]

BJ you're the man, PLEASE squash Edgar on the 28th! I would say Anaconda choke, you know he's not expecting and he's gonna shoot, and it's PIMP! Gimme a shout-out if it happens "IGPOD aka D. Hager Tacoma, Washington" lol

[Pod187]

Thank you for taking the time to make and post this video. It has been helpful to me. Please continue teaching.

[Antnyhenry]

He would win easily if he just tapped Edgar out. It would be an early night if he just said, "screw pride" and take him down.

[nikekid559]

Yeah that pass to side controll is really tough to do because it's really easy to get triangled from that position.

[SiriuzTk]

@nikekid559 its a basic way of stacking your oponent. its a good technique.

[ReysWrap]

@nikekid559 both of BJ's arms are outside of the other guy's legs though... so BJ is very safe from triangles. It would be different if one of BJ's arms is between the other guy's legs...

then BJ is only SORTA safe from triangles (he's never really in any actual dangers because...well... he's BJ freakin Penn)

[PK4Subs]

wow this is gay as fuck..

man on top of anotgher man feelin each other chests ...

0:56 wtf?

[nhbxxx]

@PK4Subs you're a fucking idiot.

[KyleMusicMan]

every time i try that guard to side control pass i get triangled.

[manalotj]

bj's a great teacher.. i wanna train with you soon!

[NunchuckChaz]

Steroids (like any drug) can stay in your system for a long time. It's not like turning the tap off! Bonnar said he took them for an injury and assumed they'd be out of his system, but he was wrong and got suspended. Barnett was denied by the CSAC when he tested positive. Whoever said they have no tests for steroids in combat sports is moronic beyond correction and written words cannot describe that level of stupidity.

[subik333]

@NunchuckChaz Depend what steroids you taking some will stay in your buddy no more then 3 days!

[BrFelixpas]

you look for good fight check me out bj i am brasilian i want tren wt you bro alex evoras jiu jitsu i do jiu jitsu for onli 8 month

[nmbo76jklq]

he dosent hes a natrule he does bjj and kekoshine karate hes more perfect non the ground tho

[iam503nigga]

this is really helpful thanks alot BJ

[ChronicJiujitsu]

The pushing down and locking your arm for the americana HOLY SHIT so simple and didnt even think about that, must try tomorrow

[eltiggermalo]

I would so tap BJ if he wasn't a million times better than me.

[mmagamer4life]

lol

[9rin]

thanks for putting vids like this bj, your awesome!

[TheInformula]

GSP is a cheater and he knows he would would have tapped if he was on the mat

[billysue2]

not a chance,he was better in every aspect of the fight,even on the ground,penn was a little bitch to whinge about the so called greasing

[mmagamer4life]

yea thats true but gsp is a lot bigger and stronger than bj pluse i am like 60% sure gsp takes roids

[sinatrafan1987]

I doubt he takes roids..he doesnt have the shape..i think coleman did

[tjistheman2011]

ya he prob does... i'm sure that Dana White would allow somebody that takes roids to fight in the octagon, and they dont have any tests or anything to check for steroid use...dumbass

[mmagamer4life]

he can still take them dumbass then stop like a month before the fight that is when they r tested

[tjistheman2011]

they would still know the roids are there because there would still be traces, and he would have horrible acne and everything else that goes with roid use, how much do you really know anyways? your name is mma gamer which probably means your some moron that plays UFC undisputed all the time and you think that you understand actual fighting

[nmbo76jklq]

he is and corlose newton bjpenn aint realy much of a factor

[rich26d3]

Fantastic stuff, BJ is Amazing

[fedornavid]

he is the best and fuck the rest

[amato2]

Bj is the greatest.

[Spectre671]

GSP knew he was going to get his ass kicked on the ground

so he greased his back.

BJ you still the man and you still reppin for all us Hawaiians.

[kareem87said5]

bj, youre jiu jitsu master

[wjat89]

Indeed, i wish i was half as good

[darthvader1221]

doesnt matter if you lost youre still my hero man

thanks for the vid

[wjat89]

Good attitude

[crunkwun]

8:17 I like to trap there foot with mine so they cant post out with it. Awesome BJ PENN Good luck with your fight against GSP. Hope you win

[thewalrus12]

'thats the whole key to jiu jitsu' simple as that. you gotta love that confidence

[snookiefinn]

bj rocks . .

[Kamadev85]

[jonmakcharoenwoodhi]

[groundnpound702]

i hear hawaiian birds in the background.

[edudoj]

very nice!!!

[migueltni]

BJ es un maestro de BJJ..!!

[iantwatty]

bj really is the dude .this small video is perfect for any 1 interested in comat sports  really basic but far more affective

[xesogycit]

Sweet. I've been looking for this video for a while. You should definately post some more tutorials like this, they're much better than the average ones on the internet that just tell you how to do a submission. I could come up with any number of submissions, it is transitions and strategy that I'm looking for

[joanne1017]

Its Bj penn.. ther are know questions Just listen watch and learn.

[krupple]

I'm not criticizing as I'm new at this, but I had some questions. What's your opinion (after breaking out of the guard) about turning your leg out (so that the foot is parallel to his shoulders) to avoid him hooking your leg? Is it that important?

Also, I heard it's dangerous to grab at the shoulder when passing the guard to get into a side mount because you can get rolled over. How do you keep your balance during a transition?

[captmoroni]

1) Grabbing the foot in combat base (knee up) won't help. If anything your opponent would slide his knee over your leg and to the mat, and pass on that side by pinning the leg.

2) Cross-grabbing that shoulder is necessary when doing that double-under pass, to keep the guy from squirming back and away. You crush him with your weight, and push his feet as close to his head as possible. It greatly reduces his mobility. With the shoulder locked, there's no threat of you getting rolled/swept.

[Sal1the1great]

i dont do it the way bj is showing and they always manage to shrimp away .his way makes more sense

[D26808]

Brah thanks for the instructions! It helped me a lot! Peace!

[zar911]

when you have the guy in mount's arm and are getting ready to roll him, should you get your right leg round his right leg?

[ohwowlookout]

Yeah. Hook the leg on the side you're rolling to keep them from basing out with that leg.

[nijey]

thanks man

[Saku19]

Anyone know where to get the whole video?

[evoluciona]

isn't that also why he's got his knee in the guys butt (at 1:56). it keeps the bottom guy from getting in close with his hips

[twitt36]

great instruction video

[kissoct666]

Thank you! You are the greatest.

[titochuck]

i see what you mean re the arm bar, the japs don't mind squeezing the shit out of your arms at crazy angles... Might work better in a Gi though?

[Prodigysportsman]

I just realized that the passing the guard @ 1:56 BJ/anyone is susceptable to an armbar attempt keeping the arm that far away from the hips. anyone else agree? his legs are broken from the closed but he can swing right leg over his head.

[dellyjonut]

not a chance.  his elbow is to far away. the guy on bottom would have to pull bj's elbow up to his chest area to have a deep armbar.

[pathfindercrasher]

@Prodigysportsman, You actually are correct, but if you notice, this is a basic course to get beginners into the hang of things, hence BJJ 101. If you notice, pretty much every move can be countered, but learning each move first is crucial to progressing.

[novan08]

Very true. There is a counter to nearly anything - these are merely the building blocks.

[NoviceBJJ]

It's a good roll to drill though. At the moment, to pass guard I like to use the same knee/leg position and hip turning, but put two arms over and push the bottom of their rib cage away, and when they go to fend try a wristlock. That method of course has its own set of risks as well. I'll have to practice the one shown here and see if I can make it work. I'm sure I'm missing something big. I just started and have many classes to go; maybe we will cover this one in detail at some point.

[NoviceBJJ]

As you could imagine the opponent will not allow you to move them as simply as the demonstration shows (you see how the guy in the video just decides to lift his knees up at 2:03 when BJ puts his own left knee up) -- for me, as you go to pull them in they flatten their legs a little to loose your grip, then if you go to climb over to mount they raise their legs again, you can end up back in fullguard -- you really have to get your chest against the back of their thighs to end this stalemate.

[NoviceBJJ]

Passing the guard right after your left knee goes up and you put two arms under to wrap their legs is very tough on a decent opponent! I tried this method on someone squat and strong and usually ended up having to just scramble to side control after breaking their guard open. Other times I only succeeded in putting myself into a triangle choke.

[bjjartist]

lol you arent alone in that. I STOPPED doing the doing the double underhook pass for the same reason. Dont feel bad man.

[w0rn]

Thanks BJ!

[uknowuhateme]

i just didnt like the way he still tried to choke out jenns pulver after he tapped

[evoluciona]

anyone know why left leg goes up (at 2:05)?

[evoluciona]

nevermind figured out. thanks!

[chiproc]

awesome explanation of thie techniques used some of this in practice and shared with everyone thanks..keep em coming

[nomercygym]

Bj U rule

[ohdeasu]

im not a fan of BJ as an MMA "personality". the guy just fuckin gets on my last nerve. but hes an amazing fighter and i have a shitload of respect for the guy. the reason i am even into MMA now is because when i was a kid i watched him and jens pulver fight for the lightweight title. i was hooked. and that made me a lifelong jens pulver fan. yeah even when he lost to BJ :p jens will allways be my MMA hero. but BJ your the man.

[gjj4life]

bj penn is the shit. though i'm a gracie student for LIFE i totally respect bj and his works on bjj

[davecavagna]

BJ is an awsome teacher of jujitsu and the video just proves that. I hope he continues to be Blessed with the great tallent he has!

[Gottlos777]

hey thanks for the videos they are very helpful and also awesome job on the pulver fight!

[Jexwr]

i think the gracies could kill him

[johnfetu]

hey Jexwr he already beat two gracies and even before that the gracies were all on his dick on bj training for them and fighting for them but he refused. so i disagree bj would smoke them all if he wanted to.

[Jexwr]

thank you

[talaska]

sweet video! thank you. BJ showed awesome skill tonight against Pulver, no suprise.

[yackityyak123]

this is great please post more!!!

[gorky808]

very educational!

[AnonNoMas]

B.J. is awesome without the gi, but if the UFC allowed people to use the gi, B.J.'s flexible 'rubber guard' would have more grip on his sweaty opponents. Especially when he goes for the oma-plata. Although, wearing it also has it's disadvantages.
