Yeah I can imagine. I was super impressed with how low effort/energy Levi rolls here. So smooth and technical. His back control seems impossible to get out of
at 3:30 your turn is in the direction of the heel hook, and you are in danger of breaking your own knee. He actually turns with you a bit 3:40 to protect you, seems like a good guy.
Wow that was filmed so well!!! The quality of cameraman and film crew is on some David Cameron level. I would hate to see what you pay your film crew it must be loads.
Def a MASSIVE gap btwn you two in terms of the skill levels .. and what is crazy is that Levi is not even known for his achievements in no gi (as compared to the gi counterparts). Nice footage and analysis man.
Thanks so much Ryan! It's interesting we were fortunate enough to do a podcast episode with Levi and he said he has his sights set on ADCC 2024 so it'll be cool to see him break into the nogi scene
@@KierenLefevre definitely levels.. but he top tier,, bet you wreak blues and purples normal.. you'll be up there soon.. How tight and crisp he looks tho 😮😮😮
Oh nice man! That's awesome. For your first one it's more about the experience of being there and giving it a go! I'd say have fun and don't worry too much about the results as you're already a winner just for showing up (sounds cringe, but is so true)
There’s a yes and no answer to this. Just using BJJ as Levi does is more than sufficient when focusing on Jiu Jitsu as a sport. If it’s to be used for its original purpose of self defence then you are right no matter what people tell you.
Who’s here after Levi’s amazing performance at CJI??
Me, I already knew Levi for his trials performance but it was crazy what he did in CJI
Is Levi the hardest guy you have ever rolled with?
@@cb4354 I’d say Levi, Lachlan Giles and Jeremy Skinner are the best guys I’ve rolled with

Absolutely insane he bolo'd his way to the finals. Keenan said that technique is dead. Clearly not
Beyond a pro, that guy is one of the most elite practitioners on the gi circuit these days.

He’s a great guy haha he was looking after me
I was cringing at that moment. Dude was pretty close to blow his own knee.
This was great. Thank you for the commentary. Love Levi's style.
Thank you 😁
This has aged well (Here after CJI).
Levi has the most exciting style for me to watch and study. Must be really educational to roll with him!
Pulling off a bolo in the Gi is gangster enough,but doing it no GI is a whole different level of gangster
*terrifying
Had the pleasure of meeting Levi today and attending a Seminar he was doing. Super nice guy
Amazing to see your BJJ growth journey Kieren 💯
Thanks Harry!!
That was pretty nice roll, would be awesome to see some more nogi rolling footage of him
man i love this edit!! good work bro
Right on there we go some nice rolls that's what I'm talking about!
Great video! It is such an eye opener to the possibilities when rolling with people of Levi's caliber! 🥋🤙🔥
Man there's levels to the game hey! It's crazy at how good people can get at this amazing sport
Wow that was filmed so well!!!

Bahahaha pull your head in Chris 😂😂 but no shout out to the camera man to make it all possible ❤
😂😂😂
Guess I just got out from under my rock…this cat is so calm cool…cool to see the best doing what they do. That blue belt is no joke either…wow
Man, Levi is no joke, the guy is one of the best light weights in the world right now, check out his FloFilm "The New Guard" it's amazing
what a great roll - a closer following camera from ground d make this perfect
Thank you!
that was fun to watch, subscribed.
Awesome vid love your level of quality 👊
Thanks Erik! You're a legend man
Enjoyable watch👊🏼👍🏼
Thank you Ian 😁

Story of my life in one video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man I wish I was good at pressure passing. You got no quit in you btw
Well done bro.. honestly 🤙💙🙏
Hahaha man, I was humbled 🤣🤣 he wasn't even trying
@@KierenLefevre definitely levels.. but he top tier,, bet you wreak blues and purples normal.. you'll be up there soon..
How tight and crisp he looks tho 😮😮😮
Loving the fight though K, being conscious is overrated 💪🏼
Bahahahaha tapping is never an option 🙃
Why is the blue belt labelled as aggressive? Looks like a very smooth technical roll!
I'm internally aggressive 🤣🤣
There were so many things he did that made it work that you don’t mention.
@@undomyscrew thanks for the comment
nice editing
@@billywalendom Thank you! 😁
I would love to learn from Levi
Technical like Ariel Tabak
What instrumental was this ?
First song is "Power - Ghost Beatz" second sony is "Spiderwasp - Sam Barsh" both from Soundstripe 😁
Nice! Doing my first tournament next month, any tips?

@@KierenLefevre looking forward to it!
Xanadu!!
This guy is definitely a no stripe Blue belt.
You know it😅
injuries?
Well I God dman hope so
Bro, thanks for the video, but I have to say that that backstep from backside 50/50 while he had the heel hook on really made me cringe…
@@AndreaCiccarone-w4y yeah this was filmed a while ago when I was a new blue belt
But thanks for the comment
please teach him basic takedowns. his guard is incredible. but jiu jitsu will never grow if the top athletes refuse to wrestle. its the simple truth
What a crazy arm chair quarterback take 😂
Why? guard playing IS jiu jitsu, if you like takedowns watch wrestling or mma.

@@neilshanahan8217 Levi is an athlete who competes in bjj, it’s a sport, he is not in a self defence situation. This cope has to stop
How many stripes do you have?
I’ve got 0 stripes 😅
@@KierenLefevre Looooooooooser! JK me too. You seem better than a lot of baby blues tho dontchaknow, nice roll brotha
@Soren Buenneke bahahaha 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Where is the aggressive blue belt. Jesus what a waste of my time
I didn’t like Levi in cji, however god damn if he doesn’t have the best guard/de la Riva game I have ever seen.
