also, a lot of top bjj teachers just DON"T KNOW how to train that way. I remember asking Carlos Machado in 1999 to show a punch/kick defense using Brazilian jiu jitsu; "oh that will come later..." he said, "today we will do De la Riva guard." Well, "later" came and went and we were never taught this. Then subsequently you saw how the Machados did when they tried MMA. So, not every top instructor knows how.
I'd love to see you do a self-defense/MMA bottom position series on BJJ Fanatics. This is coming from somebody that has all 3 of your Backpack system sets and who attended your seminar at Carlson Gracie Albuquerque a couple months back. Happy to continue supporting you, just give me some more stuff to pay for! Thanks for all the great info you provide!
I just found your channel. I'm a 49 year old blue belt. I have been working on half guard and my coach Marc Laimon told me to watch your stuff. I'm learning a lot so thank you.
@@oldpurplebelt My first BJJ class was at BHJJC. It was a morning class, and shockingly, the Brazilian instructor was a no-show. I started banging on the glass because I could see someone sleeping on the folded-up mats. Sure enough, Marc opened the door and gave me my first class.
THANK you so so much for answering this question! I was rewatching lots of channels analyzing your fights like bjj scout and then I discovered wow Demian Maia has his own channel! It's like an honor to even hear you speak on the topic.
This information is awesome. I am surprised that more people are not subscribed and watching this. Great work Demian. I am a huge fan and I believe that you should keep making these videos. You are helping the brazilian jiu jitsu community
I like this guy he doesnt have a super strong brazillian accent not that theres anything wrong with portugese but its difficult to understand what these guys are saying
