Greg Souders shares his thoughts on the current BJJ instructional market.

Greg Souders is the founder and head coach of Standard Jiu-Jitsu, and has recently been appointed the head coach for Team Misfits Americas at the Craig Jones Invitational 2. Souders is also well-known for being the figurehead of the constraints-led approach to training Jiu-Jitsu.

Jits Magazine spoke to Greg briefly about the constraints-led approach, but primarily about his upcoming appearance at CJI 2. Greg explained how he intends to build the team and how he actually got the job in the first place. He also shared some insight into the rules he follows to be an effective cornerman, and his thoughts on the current state of the market for BJJ instructionals.

Today, I’m going to share 3 guard passing and top pressure ideas for BJJ that work well for us middle-aged and older (master’s and up) grapplers.

I highly recommend this for those of us in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu who are no longer in our 20s but still love to roll around and do Jiu-Jitsu.

1 caveat is that everything in this video is fundamentally sound and works just fine for younger grapplers as well. But for us older grapplers, we don’t have a choice, we have to find ways to slow things down.

In fact, I’d probably even recommend adding this guard passing style to your game, regardless of your age.

Hopefully, you guys find the tips in this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.
