Black Belt Breakdown: Armbars (Rener Gracie w/ Alex Stuart)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- In jiu-jitsu, the black belt is where the real learning begins. After several years of rolling like every round is a death-match, the student gets a black belt and realizes (far too late) that no one is keeping score. At that point, he begins to relax and roll in a way that focuses on progress over proof, emphasizing playfulness over prowess.
In the new Black Belt Breakdown video series our goal is to expose you to the tips, tricks, and techniques that were discovered by our black belt brothers (and sisters) from around the world when they finally let their guard down and began "playing" jiu-jitsu.
If you pay attention on the surface, you'll pick up some slick details to add to your arsenal, but if you observe the lessons on a deeper level, you will recognize an underlying training philosophy shared by all black belts that, if adopted, will increase your rate of progress unlike anything else.
Our first guest, Alex Stuart, is a black belt certified instructor who teaches full time at Gracie Academy Headquarters in Torrance, CA. Alex is the fasted white-to-black belt student ever produced by the Gracie Academy and his armbars are ridiculous. Enjoy the video, and then swing by the Academy in Torrance to feel the techniques first-hand!

One of my favorite videos
Very cool for the academy to share this technique!
I'm super excited to be doing a seminar with Alex Stewart in a couple of weeks. He's visiting our CTC. 🎉❤
15:28 is just mind-bending.
Max Loh 🌸ikr 😊
Things like that blow my mind every time
Achei fraco esse armlock.. devido a essa passagem da perna por cima da cabeça. Se o oponente subir, vc nao tem como pesar a tempo e perde a posição.
Love it, thank you for the lessons!!! Enjoying the makeshift partner as well haha
All of you saying this technique is too simple, you dont understand that this applies to high level bjj users who know the intricacies of the armbar and all the ways it can be applied, its very counter intuitive and unexpected for high level guys thats why it works, its seems obvious for us but were just beginners leave your ego at the door.
Golden technique, really like that grip break! Nice work guys!
I come back every couple years to review this.
4:10 setup
3:50 show time
6:28 reversed knee on belly Entry
Thanksss
Knowledge starts a 0:00
Slick move..gotta try this!
Nice! thank you
Hey Alex taught me the guillotine! Super cool dude.
My favorite thing to do when someone has their hands locked while I’m going for an armbar is to pretend like I’m going to use my foot to push their far bicep and thread it through in order to finish with the mounted triangle
Smart dude. Weak side back mount for life.
@@codyjwoods WSM4L!
Rener: “That’s dope, now I understand fully.”
Everyone else on the mats: *visibly sweating worriedly
Alex and Rener, thanks for the awesome armbar tutorial. Even though I'm still working on perfecting Combatives-level armbar applications toward my blue belt, this is definitely next level stuff for me and everyone below at least Blue Belt Stripe 2, which is my instructor's rank, by the way.
Again, this is really sweet stuff. Thanks and much respect to you both!
Your instructor is a blue belt…
What belt are you now ?
Stuart is clearly a gifted teacher.
Good morning rener are there any Gracie academy dojos in the NYC area ?
I now know who Alex Stuart is! Just TONS of great info....Thanks!
Great intro on Alex, Rener. He's not just an amazing instructor, but an amazing person as well. I'm beyond blessed to have the opportunity to know him and to train under him....
Thank you Alex, for sharing your techniques with us
But Rener, Javi Vazquez teaches the S-grip with the thumbs tucked in, would that create much of an issue for unclipping it?
This specific arm bar is perfect for judo as not many high level judo competitors practice ground defence. Thank you for teaching this
After Ten Thousand man hours of practice and drilling, I should be good with this.
I am interested in becoming a jiujitsu practitioner I find the art to be very fascinating as well as great for real life situations!!!
3 years later, a stranger appeared and asked:
Did you begin the journey?
Gracie Breakdown: Royce v. Akebono (absolutely beautiful Omoplata), Shinya Aoki vs Joachim Hansen (Gogoplata ftw), Shinya Aoki vs Mizuto Hirota (RIP Arm).
Never done JJ in my life, but definitely gonna use this one on my sister! Thanks! She will NOT see this coming
Hopefully, it'll send a message to little sisters everywhere not to bully their big brothers.
Nice work Thank you... great channel
Alex, great info. Thanks for sharing.
I love this video! Thank you guys so much for this!
so you put your knees together at the very last step right? before then the one leg is over head and one leg over their chest with lots of space
Outstanding! Forever evolving.
Each time I train with this guy I grow. I’m angry that I cannot put all my energy in thus daily. But I am getting it in
Love training with Alex. The Jedi Zombie
love the "space" influence...or lack of- for that matter in certain situations
dude wow, this technique is sick... I feel like I want them to go hands inside like this now, such a beautiful set-up, lots of control, Thanks for another attack from side mount, thanks a lot alex!
Wow, the clip grip break is insane, I love it, I usually go more of a spider web guard, and use my shin to act as a slicer, I feel bad sometimes when using it in casual rolling and training because it is painful for my opponent but it is my most effective grip breaker, as if it doesn't break the grip the pain can cause taps, and usually pops the grip to get the arm, this looks much more training friendly, and even just demonstrating it to myself as rener said the grip does not want to be pushed together, it sort of is counter intuitive for the wrists of the person defending. Much much thanks for sharing I can not wait to try this out on the mat!!
Indeed, DOPE
That is funky. Knee on belly is a killer position, gotta try this armbar.
You guys need to start breaking down fights again. This could had been uploaded to the Gracie Academy channel.
Beautiful Jujitsu ... can we call it the Alex Armbar or A.S. Armbar :)
Taking an inch and making it a mile IS what what being a black belt is all about.
thank you for sharing, may you ride the barrel of wu shi for many great years.
Beautiful technique,I love armbars and I'll definetely try this out mext time on the mat;)
Great video!
I keep coming back to this…awesome!!!
This is awesome. Thank you!!!
I train at a Gracie Academy certified school. I am just a three stripe white belt in Combatives but I can't wait to try some of this out!
I am now a four stripe white belt and I should be testing soon!
+C.Duncan Sutherland Have you tested? If not...have you heard the new rules? 90% to pass....95% if you want to continue on and become an instructor.
egnilk66 No I have not. I had to put my training on hold for about a half of year because I was helping with my father's illness. I have to sharpen my knowledge. I hope to pass. Thank you for the information!
+C.Duncan Sutherland how much are you guys paying?
(The real) Rail /slave Go brother go!!
So slick! Can't wait to drill this
at the very first step, when you base, it looks like there is nothing stopping them from just turning to their side and strong over you with their far leg?
The point is that this move is counter intuitive and unexpected for high level guys, for us it may be obvious or simple but high level practitioners wont be expecting a armbar attempt from reverse side mount would they? You cant defend against something you dont know,
Very nice vid and clear instruction very good guys
Good stuff. I want to really deep dive on the armbar so thia is a great bit of ifo to add to my study.
Hi I'm from Miami I visited California and had the opportunity to stop by the headquarters. Was such an honor just to step on that big green Matt. Alex you taught a great lesson that day. Was a triangle set up from the modified mount. Very detailed and patient with your teaching. Hopefully next time I come back the whole crew will be there. Unfortunately I missed Hener and Ryron that day but was still such an honor to roll with you Alex and to take a picture. Its a memory I can never forget. Oss
I've never seen that entry before. Very cool.
Beautiful technique. Just one small request: Can you guys were contrasting colored gis? In other words one partner in white and the other in blue. I think it will have a better visual impact and help the audience follow all those knotted limbs better. Thanks!!
Request denied
You're the man A. Stuart. I'm gonna try this. You should grow your hair out.
This comment aged well. He's got a pretty sick fade haha
Great techniques 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The original “Arm’s Race”
Simply amazing cant wait try it!!
Fantastic discovery! Love it!
Awesome to give props like this
"I clipped it i tide it then I TOOK IT."
Definitely going to try this!
so technical man
just leaving myself this reminder, 15:45
Rener is really special when it comes to context.
Thank you guys for sharing!
11:10 I hate that grip! GABLE GRIP is better! and how does this compare to Ronda Rousey's grip break?
Beautiful...
"I make a little noise to make him look over here!"
I love the misdirection!
That was outstanding. And I thought everything that could be invented in Jiu-Jitsu had already been invented! Guess not. ;)
Nothing is invented just rediscovered. This is simply an armbar from reverse knee on belly. Reverse knee on belly is an underused position that's why this feels "new". The grip break is basic biomechanics. This is great stuff don't get me wrong but the longer you train the easier it is to see stuff like this. BJJ is simply science
Romeo Barnes Well put. I'm a new blue belt, and I was talking to a guy in class last night, about how little we see, even though we see a lot more than new guys, who see nothing at all. Part of what makes Jiu-Jitsu so addicting. The cerebral parts. I've never met a dumb black belt. This was great. They have a great instructor in Alex. Good stuff.
I love the innovative thinking and the lack of ego in Gracie Jiu Jitsu academy, different setups each person brings to the table. This simply showcases the open minds and lack of ego in bringing these setups for everyone to view.
Don Charley James Wagner This just demonstrates there's no such thing as a perfect attack or perfect defence. Every move has at least one counter and every counter has at least one counter of its own. It's bloody endless, and that's a good thing.
Doubles666 That's the beauty of Jiu-Jitsu there are no dead ends. The longer you train the more branches of both attacks and escapes you will see.
What was that at The very end?
Very cool.
maybe I'm wrong because it's done slow but it looks very escapable
+james95jones KEYBOARD WARRIOR LMAO
+Corey Willis you obviously don't know me, I actually train myself, do you? you don't sound like you do!
Most people watching these videos do. Just because someone acts like an ass sometimes doesn't mean they don't train BJJ.
Thanks Gracie family.
#First sick armlock set ups! #6WS
Really good breakdown :D
this guy is talented
that was awesome
Thanks for sharing!!
Amazing technique!
great instruction!
Hespect !!!
Technique is so dope
Great video
15:29 snek 🐍
Brilliant!!
I tried this many times but it never worked. Whenever I switch my base to bring my leg over. I have to release pressure to swing the leg over but everyone just brings their legs in
Exactly, anyone good won't just lay there. The person on bottom should have constant pressure on the person on top. As soon as they let off, they'll escape.
Scott Cunningham Are you a black belt with years of experience generating the reflexes necessary to actually apply this technique in live rolling? Have you drilled it many times to build this movement pattern? It seems the answer is no to both these questions, so I'll have to dismiss your input and go with the black belts who actually use this technique and test it myself.
GODF1R3 it wouldnt be a good if you have to be a black belt to use the technique.
Fair point. Still, no technique is fairly critiqued without practicing it.
Fred Bill I would have to agree, I don't think no one would get caught by this. As a Jiu-Jitsu guy your suppose to feel the shift in your opponent weight and with that gap I don't know......hard to believe getting caught by this black belt are not top pressure is everything then does that fit the "filter" I keep hearing about, never mind the filter for this nobody is getting caught by this. The little pressure you had is gone so we suppose to lay there and let you get this? A white belt wouldn't even stay in position for this.
Gorgeous
rener the best jiu jitsu of the world! thank you
Awesome
Those Helio 100 gis 😍
I liked it. Very clever guy. 1degree black belt
Diverson just fake a armancona then armbar
I think arm bars should be taught differently. Once you go to pull the arm bar for biceps stretch the man down can reach the genitals, other words exposing weak point. At least for self defense.
Well I think.
Any suggestions about it?
And calf can be bitten.
How do we defend this technique?
Thank you. Very slick.
😍🤯

While these are great for points and fundamentals, most of these are just going to get you kneed or kicked in the face if you tried to use them in a real fight like that.
Ade Abasanji the Social Commentator I'm an ex-special forces attached Naval Hospital Corpsman that has 5 additional years of bouncing and private security, in addition to long-walks home from school in a town that had a high hispanic gang population, with my first experience of having a gun pointed at me maliciously occurred at the age of 6, and have survived 3 rape attempts as a direct result of what I did.
Yup. I clearly have no idea how to fight and am completely lacking in anything remotely resembling practical experience.
*that last sentence was indeed sarcasm on the internet*
***** So is getting kneed in the head, and that takes 0 experience whatsoever.
***** I have 0 clue why you're trying to argue with the fact that positioning your head like that is a good idea. It's literally in a direct line with the knee--the person doesn't even need to aim.
So yes. Really.
At what point could you knee the person in the face in this technique? I'd love to see how you'd knee me in the face from inside my guard... Not cause I'm a badass, but just because that's a REALLY weird and hard goal to accomplish from that position LOL
