      I know how he meant it. I've asked the exact same question.
      As you learn more, you realize it would be akin to asking a chess master what you did wrong against him. You sat down at the table, or in this case, got on the mat.
      There is no "right move" because there is a counter to every counter.
      Even some of the tenants of BJJ, say: keep your elbows tight, can become a liability against a skilled blackbelt.
      Thats what I meant.

      @@DBowTX Which is the difference between someone who's skilled and someone who is a good teacher. Just like in chess, not all grandmasters are good at teaching and this is the same in Juijutsu or any skill in general. Teaching is completely different from being able to learn and master something, teaching is much more a people-skill than it is a mastery of the skill you're teaching.
      Gracie knows there's 1000 things he can point out that are wrong, but information overload makes that a bad idea. What's better is beginning a set of fundamentals that Magnus (or the student) can use to build themself up to a framework where he can begin teaching closer and close to these 1000 things. Just how like I wouldn't give an 8y/o quadratic formulas if they only know addition/subtraction.
      Keep your elbows tight is because it's a good fundamental to start at, as you get better, you begin to understand when to not unlock your elbows. Most competitive skills are a set of fundamentals, that when you reach a high enough level, you learn when to break those fundamentals.
      "What did I do wrong" in this instance is a good question and it's up to the teacher to give a good answer. The answer should be something where the teacher explains what type of reactions he wants to see at the student's current skill level, in order to build good fundamentals.

      @restitvtororbis5330 Рік тому +27

      When Magnus started doing videos with different kinds of athletes and competitors I had a feeling this was coming down the line eventually. Especially the strongmen trying climbing videos because you think "I wonder if powerlifter strength will translate to climbing grip strength?" and jujitsu is always pushing back against people who don't think it would work against strong men, powerlifters etc. This is now another wrinkle in that debate. Magnus isn't big, not ridiculously strong, but has insane grip strength, flexibility, and climbing seems to work muscle groups in a similar way to jujitsu. I can almost guarantee that magnus would progress significantly faster than most people, even athletes if he stuck to it for a few years. It makes me think of something Eddie bravo said on Joe Rogan years ago about breakdancers starting jujitsu and getting to black belt 2 or 3 years faster than other people, it's just something that involves a lot of the same movements and perhaps even thought processes (I know it sounds weird, but i think there's something to it).
      I guess this is just a long winded way of saying that if a skilled climber wanted to pick up ANY combat sport, I'd be surprised if they didn't find jujitsu to be the most natural and in tune with their ability. In a weird way even just looking at both, they really seem surprisingly similar. I could be totally off though, so if anyone has experience with both, i welcome your perspective.

      Hot take and, of course, YMMV, but the charisma felt a bit put-on and manipulative to me. I usually prefer a more sober tone. Not entirely so, but serious enough so that I don't wonder whether the enthusiasm is some kind of emotional control. Emotions are contagious, and, yes, there are people out there who know this and use it to their advantage but not necessarily yours.
      -- Self-Edit --
      I would like to add that, although the charisma in the video seemed like a practiced form of, let's call it, engagement, I don't believe it's entirely unhelpful (since some students benefit from a show of enthusiasm) or even at all malicious. Still, I recoil at what I perceive to be people's conscious, tactically deployed techniques of influencing others, and I guess I do perceive such techniques here.
      -- Self-Edit #2 --
      It's only fair that I also acknowledge that some people are just exuberant by nature, that they, when they act spontaneously, slap people's backs and strut for cameras. They don't do these things to influence others but because they aren't influencing themselves. I have to admit that, although I suspect the "bro"s and "he's a natural" and "I'm going to steal your shoes" in this video _are_ conscious attempts at influencing Magnus's psychological state, there's no way for me to know for sure.

      Humble? Lol. One of the most aggressive sales guy I've ever seen. If you translate what he said, it is something like this: "GRACIE THE BEST, BJJ THE BEST, COME, PAY, BUY OUR BJJ, WHICH IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET, YOU DON'T NEED STRENGTH, SPEED, STAMINA, FLEXIBILITY, YOU ONLY NEED ME, MY FAMILY AND BJJ, AND YOU CAN BEAT ANYONE, LITTTERRRALLY ANYONE - ps: only under bjj rules or if you sneak up on someone from behind on a lawn..." They are selling Judo newaza as their own for many decades now. They used UFC to advertise their product, of course they had to adjust the UFC rules in the favor of their bjj to make it seem more effective, but whatever. Now they use big yt channels to sell "their" stuff.

As long as you get the attendance card signed 2-3 a week there’s no reason to not be a black in 4 years. I’ll get my brown end of this year and hopefully black next year.

Having it predetermined to get a belt nearly every year just for coming 2-3x a week, is likely not the best. It is natural for people to hit learning plateaus when there are certain techniques that they can’t quite get. The amount of time it takes to advance through belts is and should always be variable.

      You should totally give it a go. I climbed for over 20 years and kinda got bored (also lived somewhere without real rock). Tried Brazilian jiu jitsu and it's been so much fun. Only thing I'd say is that you have to be okay with being really close to other people and getting crushed... a lot. The ego takes a bruising for sure but eventually you learn the techniques and then you're hooked on it.

It's not from applying locks since you're rolling your gymmates / friends so you don't snap on joint locks, you don't try to apply them too hard etc. it's not a competition where you would intentionally break someone's arm, but just like in wrestling it's a very high pace physically demanding sport. Now you could do BJJ and never roll hard I suppose but you'd only be getting like 1/3rd of the experience. You could also try just rolling people way better than you which is also much safer. but when you are constantly rolling people of similar skill levels you just get aches and pains / small or large injuries.

    Rener's charisma, enthusiasm, and and skill as a teacher are really on display here. Magnus, I really enjoyed seeing you get your first real exposure to BJJ this way. I hope to see more like this in the future! You have great body awareness from rock climbing so I'm sure you'll be a fast learner. The biggest challenge I see for you (other than finding the time to train) is learning to not rely on your strength, but to relax and conserve energy.

    I have never wanted to train BJJ more than right now. Fantastic introduction.
    My personal style is about 2x less advertising and 10x less "bro," but it's so easy to look past that when the instruction is this good. I taught martial arts for a number of years, and this might be the best session I've ever seen.

      He is an agressive sales guy, and it seems he is successful. He sounds like a teleshop guy selling a device which is good for everything, then you receive it, and you cannot even peel a potato with it. Gracies family was always about marketing. They used UFC as their marketing channel first, they shaped its rules in favor of bjj to make it seem more effective. Whenever they lost to a Judoka, karate guy or other one, they slightly changed the rules. I remember when one of the Gracies lost to a Judoka, and he did not congratulate because he told he did not pass out he just "relaxed" :D Then next time he met the Judoka, the rules changed, he did not wear a GI anymore, while Judoka did, and he kicked the Judoka in the groin in the first round :D I think it was Yoshida, but you can also check Sakuraba fights vs Gracies to see how effective they are :D

    I've always considered BJJ and climbing to have transferable skills and theme's but this video really brings it home. The importance of subtle body positioning, intelligent energy maintenance and trying to 'out-think' the problem in front of you - in climbing its the wall; in BJJ its the opponent. Great watch!

    An absolutely sterling video, Magnus! Rener is not only one of the best and most experienced teachers, he is super nice and his enthusiasm is infectious. I've had so many hard-ass teachers in different martial arts I am glad to see there are people like Rener who really do invest themselves in their students. It's no wonder his academy get results. I love the way Rener moved from one basic concept to another, tying the techniques together in a logical and seamless progression - it's a great way to learn. Thanks for sharing your first BJJ lesson with us.

    • @kiabtoomlauj6249

      I know neither sport, but I giggled, when the BJJ guy Rener comically said he's going to outlast the climbing doing a monkey under hanging feat! The two things you shouldn't attempt: to outlast, first, a monkey and then to outlast, second, an elite climber like Magnus.
      Monkeys evolved to have overwhelming arm strength (with respect to body weight ratio) and elite climbers have conditioned their fingers, hands, and arms (from skin toughness to muscle strength to joint fibre & bone development) --- over years and decades of hanging by arms and fingers --- to do things (such as grabbing onto things tightly & holding for literally his life) that no untrained human could compete with.
