      I’m only a 1.5y white belt, however I always try to do my best, as both a student to higher belts and teacher to beginners.
      -
      I feel like I improve so much faster, by incorporating the teacher-student relationship with my sparring partners and not only my teacher.
      -
      I also need to continually remind myself to not beat myself up, about losing to higher belts and talented bjj enthusiasts.
      Some days I need to remember to focus on submissions, and other days we work defending and sweeping.

    4:05 -- best mount defense ever -- "I'll be solo for one second, Bernardo."
    Like that, without any effort, there are no wedges, no pressure, no control. A multiple-time world champion is rendered completely powerless, and the mount defense has been executed perfectly.

This says a lot about Bernardos humbleness and endless willingness to learn. Thats why he accomplished what he accomplished. Incredible mindset.

      @mov1987 I don't think that's entirely accurate. Marcelo's game is based off of the judo concept of Kuzushi, which he employs copiously because he comes from Judo. It is his kuzushi that he does which makes us think it is about speed and strength, but it isn't necessarily so.

    I've been doing jiu jitsu consistently for two years and even now I struggle escaping mount. It's always a struggle using the classical mount and the shrimp elbow escape , and usually I resort to a bridge and roll, which hardly works if my partner has a strong mount with feet crossed / Crossface , ect. I will try the power shrimp method you described asap . Thank you!

  • @hdvsmith
    @hdvsmith 7 днів тому

    This was by far the best explanation of an elbow escape. I literally just left the mat and we were being taught based on a wide/loose mounted position. The technique assumed my partner would allow me to get my leg under theirs. Didn't seem realistic, but this method makes much more sense. Wow. Can't wait to get home to practice this!

    These New Zealanders are so tuned in it's incredible. Anyone familiar with rugby knows how well thought out everything they do is. It seems that John Danaher has taken a lot of these philosphies/strategies into BJJ. I don't know if it's a consequence of their education system or what it is, but it's fascinating. The All Blacks in rugby are known as innovators, with attention to details. However, they are also known for their adherence to basics, fundamentals and tradition. It's what sets them apart and allows them to function so well as a unit. This adherence to the shrimp, the respect for something that most of us take in almost a blasé fashion..well it's the same idea and the reason his team.are the best. Fascinating.

    This is sensational stuff, wonderfully explained, and very clear vectors showing which direction to push, jolly good stuff.

    yes, I was taught that way and this makes sense as a more powerful way to out of underneath. I like it! Will try it soon...

    There is great knowledge, and experience in a lot of gyms, but DAMN to hear someone teach like this, is what a true master of teaching is about. I am very grateful, please keep the content coming. :)
