🤣🤣🤣I don’t think there’s anyone on the planet that has passed that guard EVER
@@Ralphyneil You pass if he wants you to pass lol to change things up sometimes
holding his head off the ground for that long, that alone should tell you how scary this man is
Any auto mechanic can do that. Then again I've met some scary mechanics.
do you leave your head on the mat when in closed guard or what? :D
@@CortVermin definitely not as long as roger gracie can.
Lmaooo
Practice by texting in bed
I was very fortunate to attend his seminar at Evolve in Singapore many years ago, what a great guy. During positional sparring, I was able to land the bow and arrow choke he taught, and he said “nice”. Probably one of my favorite moments in all my time training
I'd be so ecstatic if I got a "nice" off him🤣
Aye bro I’m just some random guy but I hope you and your family are doing well during this nonsense we call a pandemic, but just curious if your still training ? Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Harout Demirjian Im from Lubbock and am still training. We just had a AGF tournament here 2 weeks ago- many people from many gyms around the area competed! The sport is as healthy as ever in Texas.
@@klinteastwood1007 cheers from Brasil!
Still training! Got my blue belt in January. Bjj is my mind medicine
trained with him he’s fun to roll with such a good trainer got to roll serious he went 4-2 to me. Much older but he’s a legend and i feel he was only half trying. This coming from a black belt
An extraordinary explanation of the strengths of the closed guard. He gave us a year of practice in 15 minutes.
you can tell this is hundreds/thousands of hours of experience and analyzing
I’d like to find more videos like this one. Very educational
“I consider myself to have a pretty good closed guard” hah!
Understatement of the millennium 😅
He is must be joking 😭
@NizzyNizerson Asking Rodney Mullen "hey, what could you do with a skateboard?"
Rodney Mullen: Oh, I mean, I can do a few things...
Asking Randy Johnson "hey man, how fast were you able to throw?"
Randy Johnson: well, I had a decent fastball...
Understatements less understating than Roger Gracie calling his guard "decent." 🤣🤣🤣
The greats are thier own biggest critics. To them, they feel they can always get better. Always room for improvement. But yea pretty funny
Pretty good my ass. More like God level closed guard.
I love how he gives both points of view the entire time.
My notes (if it's helpful to anyone else)...
From the top in guard: The only place to grab is in the middle near the solar plexus. If you grab too high, you are vulnerable to attacks like armbar and chokes. If you are too low, you can't resist when he pulls you down. If your opponent grabs your cross collar over your grip, let go and start again. If you are not bigger than your opponent, the only way to pass your opponent's legs is if you stand up. You won't pass on your knees. To defend, you need to keep posture and space. You can't stand up without your stiff arm in center of his chest.
From bottom: Be confident that you are safe. All your opponent can do is escape. Don't let him stand up and don't open your guard for him until you are ready to attack or sweep. Protect your solar plexus between your chest, but if he grabs it, cross grab the collar over it and bend his arm so that he no longer can stand. If he lets go and puts his arm over again, fight hands and don't give him the grip. If he tries to stand with your arm on top, pull him down and bring your knees to your chest. Only pull him down when he takes his second step.
Arm lock secrets: normally, you grip his one arm with both your hands (wrist and elbow). Once your foot goes on that same side hip, he knows you're going to armbar him and he leans back which defends well. To avoid this, cross grab his wrist with your elbow high pointing backwards. With your other hand, reach up and cross grab his collar behind his neck with your fingers in palm up. This neck collar grab keeps him from pulling back. Now you can triangle your legs and work up to the armbar. For this setup, one of your legs goes over the shoulder of the wrist you have. Once you start setting this up, An experienced guy, knowing he cannot pull away and make posture, will lean forward to put pressure but you just readjust grips and push him away, get the angle and then put your leg over his head for the armbar.
Screnshotted. Thanks
Screnshotted. Thanks
Awesome! Thanks
A free high level seminar piece from one of the best that ever walked the planet...one of the few videos I have ever watched from start to end without skipping ..
Check out bjjglobetrotters they post 40 minute ish seminars from high level people that are maybe not so known but teach very well
I started to read this comment, but it wasn't a Roger comment, so i skipped to the end.
Apart from those gay porn vids you like
You probably say that to all the videos… literally, stop, it’s lame
What’s so amazing about this, is that in demonstrating closed guard, Master Roger Gracie explained and taught both perspectives, top and bottom.
Danaher was right. Roger was not just the greatest gi-player also he's an outstanding teacher
and no go too.. he is (one of) the goat(s) of our scene...
Yup. Just ask Nick Gregoriades
@@kanenas9607 are you being sarcastic or playing it straight? Sorry Can't tell in a comment section:)
@@zevstarr-tambor7084 nick gregoriades was his student, no?
@@eduardotoledo2744 yes he was.
Anyone notice how for the entire time his head never touched the ground. He is building neck strength while he's teaching. Such discipline
Try doing it and just watch the video
lol don’t be silly. He’s also holding his head for heaps of it
at 9:39 his head touches the mat :-D
if you have never had to explain something off your back, it's really weird to do it with your head on the floor, so it's instinctive for me to raise my head as much as I can.
His chi holds it up.
WOW - the details and thought process - Awesome
Bruh, I hope these students don't take their days with him for granted because the details and explanation of everything going on here is absolutely priceless.

Highly appreciated
Doing the Lord's work.
Yep!… Yep Yep Yep! :- )… I SAW THE VID. TOO!... actually I could’ve been a black belt in jujitsu (easy! Peezy! Squeezing peoples knees’s... but I got shot in the neck by some random hoodlums, quadriplegic (super crippled :-)… SMH all this jujitsu stuff is FAKE! I could do this in my dreams (to be honest I literally do!) LOL...NOW! WAIT!...PLEEEZY!? before you get your GREAZY “GEEZES” all bunched up in you’re triggered butt CHEEEZY chEEks, just know I’m joking! SEE That!? (((( I Gotchu )))) 🤓ha ha Ha! I told you: “I do jujitsu in my mind” but YEEE-OU didn’t listen did YE!? “Come at me“ verbally and in three Comments… I’ll tap YEEE😁
If you’re still reading this you must have some strong brain power (which anybody who’s ever done jujitsu knows that’s the most important power). Hmmm, what did that last jujitsu black belt do you look like… Actually, come to think of it they all look like this, HMMMM???🤔💭
🎩
🧠
🥋.
Oh yeah! That’s the dude… SMH… If you’re still reading this ((((SORRY!))) LOL I got a little too carried away with the emoji’s (hey! They could be used to convey a lot more words with just one image… Remember, a picture paints 1000 words“… I don’t think emojis are for just the teenage girls anymore! It’s time to start a protest about...................... if any of y’all were curious to hear about any more of my thoughts… Then congratulations!!! I don’t have any more brain power… Again, if you were curious to hear more of my thoughts, you got more brain power than me ((((YOW… WON!!))))
SMH check out this emoji! 🤪. It’ll explain my brain and it’s dwindling main frame quite possibly driving in SANE… (BTW have you ever wondered…………
I'm a beginner, but today, watching this video I understood how offensive can the close guard be. Just a couple of hours latter I applied the controlling techniques at class and it was amazing. Thank you!
I absolutely loved training there. The best, hard-working and nicest people. It all starts with Roger (plus his dad). Great atmosphere. Go, if you live there are visiting London; you won't regret it.
If you want to see basics work at an extremely high level, watch Roger Gracie and Buchecha's Super Fight in 2017. Roger shutdown every attempt Buchecha made to get the takedown by using basic takedown defense. Then from guard pull to submission was 59 seconds. 9 minutes 13 seconds to 8 minutes 14 seconds Roger submitted Buchecha with a basic, basic rear lapel choke after taking his back, again, using the basics.
If you want to watch something amazing. Royce Gracie v. Kazushi Sakuarabi. (Ya boy loses, very badly)
@@ch0wned It's kinda embarrassing for you that you called him "ya boy" while not realizing those are two totally different people.
@@ch0wned wrong person
This was pure gold. I always open my guard to start spider guard. He made it seem like such common sense for keeping the guard closed. A+!!!!!!! Will watch this as needed to master it.
Thanks
Or you could try going to class and practicing basics
Always open to spider guard, get your head out of your arse
@@vinvass2674 you don’t want an issue
Great move! I'm gonna try it when they reopen my gym in... three months maybe ;( *crying out loud*
Kamil M Oh man I’m with you there. Just got into jiu jitsu a few months ago and I was doing so well, not at jiu jitsu because I’m pretty bad, I mean doing well in attendance lol didn’t miss a single class until they closed the gym! Can’t wait to get back
Lol I can’t wait neither to go back
Steelmonger888 Get BACK ON THE MATS! NOW!!! There are 4,400,000 ( MILLION) people in my county and only 120 deaths from this propagandized flu. Wake up. You’ve been lied to. Stop trusting the government and mainstream media. The death rate is one tenth of one percent and we’ve sll already had this thing back in November and December. It was a bio-weapon that failed. If you think things are bad now just wait another month when no one is paying their bills but the bills are still due. Life has risks. Wake up. Stand up. We are fools to trust the same mainstream media and the same governments that lie to the world every day of our lives. Enough. Be optimistic. Be brave. Be rebellious. Be confident. Open up now.
Mother Shipton idiot.
Did they reopen!!!?
"I catch a lot more people..." I started to use this armlock details and it is really powerful.
Ima try it next class
Awesome! What a privilege to get this instruction. Much respect, Master.
Love how humble he is!!!
I learned so much watching this. His students are very lucky to have him.
Very cool. I love how he uses basic techniques with such efficiency.
Awesome video, actually showed the same technique when I was at his seminar in Vienna in February. Very cool and relaxed guy
I've been doing this a while, and nothing makes me happier than seeing such beauty in the basics. Awesome breakdown!
I love the way he talks. The way he says "He fails. Not before. Not later. He's in danger. This- it helps a lot."
Asmrish quality. Very satisfying prosody.
Advanced basics
All the best moves are ....
He only uses basic moves.
Thats exactly Rogers style
Uncomplicated, simple, brilliant, amazing. The best.
Great details as always from Roger 🤙
Superb demonstration and his demeanor makes me listen. Excellent this guy can teach people in the most simplest of terms. Applause 👏🏽.
Now I know why Roger is the best, his explanation of the closed guard is the best I've ever seen.
Roger was so good he started as a blue belt: 1:48
Learning so much, Thank you Roger
I could listen to him all day
dang, how have i never seen this detail before? brilliant.
So smooth and technical.
Exceptional. His recent seminar in Florida demonstrated his superb understanding of the fundamentals and the ability to teach.
This is such a good demonstration. Thanks for sharing
Wow 15 mins of content without making us sign up to pay for an absurd amount? How unusual.
THANK YOU!!! The gyms that literally call out everyone for not paying their bills and scold them because they are going under can go FUCK THEMSELVES! We are all getting hurt here!!!
@@jrg4587 It was a dig at Flograppling. Not a corona message. You completely miss the joke. Also, if all the gyms go under, where are we gonna train? I'm not with you on this issue and I'm not interested in your agenda either.
The Gracies are tremendously skilled and I alway learn whenever I’m exposed to their stuff. However the Gracies never seem to miss a commercial opportunity though.
darren tay Cool!!!! 👍🏻
Just thinking the same thing. All those years worth of knowledge he had to personally gain in this 15 minute video. I'm here cuz of the UFC game, but holy shit I can see how much nuances to each move. Just where and how you grab, to the split second where you can do a move and when it's bad to do it. Yeah, if I was in his class, I'd be video tapping this too. Definitely would be reviewing each word he says over and over. THAT'S GOLD IN THEM WORDS!
Thank you this video has made an improvement in my closed guard. Roger has always been one of favorites, the fundamental BJJ will always work if you perfect it.
Incredible how one more grip to a simple technique makes it world class
Amazing , hes legendary
THIS is jiu-jitsu. So pleased to see the truth about effortless jiu-jitsu not dying out in this age of wrestlers and power players.
I wouldnt call this effortless, but it's definitely efficient
It takes effort to be effortless.
@@scotttoccs03 yeah not effortless but certainly less explosive than wrestling or things like that. It's a better approach to some people
柔 means something.
He has so much knowledge
Legend 🙏🏽
Great explanation, thank you!!
fantastic lesson!
Wow absolute gold 🔥🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've only been training for 2 weeks. Newbie here but wow his explanation of closed guard as one sided makes a lot of sense. Great video.
I've been training for about 2 months. After watching this video I was so hyped for my next class. During situation training, using the tips in this video, my partner was not able to break my guard. I felt like I was channeling Roger myself!
Hey man, just wondering where you are now? Have you gotten exponentially better at bjj since this comment? I just started last week as well
Thank you professor!
An exceptional explanation of the closed guard now to practice applying this in my game
What wonderful details!!!
I need to go to a seminar with him
Excellent explanation of the basics.
Great! Love the detail on armbar from closed gaurd
Amazing seminar
Thank you professor
That’s a freaking cool armbar setup!
Excellent lesson.. 👍 thanks for explaining bjj mechanucs
Love closed guard
This is gold
i just look at Roger Gracie and keep saying wow wow wow. Astonishing his pursuit and precision ........
Wow so awesome... from someone that likes to attack from closed guard that was so cool
Great info. Thank you.
Fantastic teacher
very good explanation of very principled techniques. I am impressed, as I had no idea he was such a good teacher.
Sensational clarity👍🏼🥋
The best closed guard tutorial I've ever seen
Wow! What great instruction!👍
Thank you flow grappling.
Amazing knowledge and instruction!
Amazing explanation!!!!
Ohhh, I'm calling that armbar setup the "Bowman's grip"
Looks very nice and effective, definitely trying this next class.
Roger "I consider myself to have a pretty good closed guard" Gracie
He said VERY... how do people misquote a video you can replay?
@@gladentertainment2018 lmao bruh im not gonna replay however long the video was. This seems pretty important to you though so keep it up
I've been training for almost 5 years and these small details makes Roger Gracie the 🐐
Excellent tutorial, thank you.
FloGrappling! Love you guys! ALWAYS posting great content! Thank you!
Eita... quantos detalhes!
Roger is a legend.
Fantastic details! Thanks
Thank you sir
Thank you!
The KING!!!!!
Very very educational !!!!
So good. 🙏🏼
Well thought out.
That was 🔥 🔥!
Absolutely beautiful
Amazing content. Thank you
Incredible
Good teaching thank you
Amazing
Brilliant!!!
Wow this is gold
Gregor back there as well!
Beautiful
I watched the whole thing and it explains a lot. Now I know that the purpose of breaking someone's posture is to prevent them from escaping and breaking your guard or passing. And you break guard by wrapping your leg around the upper back, neck, or head area and pulling them close to you or you can just apply the upper collar tie and again pull them close to you. Overall this is a great fundamental video of ju jitsu and I have subscribed to the channel because of it. Thanks Roger Gracie and thanks FloGrappling.
You will go far in your Jiu -Jitsu journey! OSS!
Brilliant.
Excellent
Thank you for this. You have yourself a new subscriber!
i had to watch this 10X to really understand it. Such mastery
