I actually love how this technique focuses on hip escaping rather than climbing UP to the back. The climb up is always what I struggle with when trying to take the back from closed guard. Thank you for posting!
@@manofsteal537Gracie climbs the legs incrementally to the back while other person stays in turtle, very different from hipping out until they fall. Will try both variations, but assuming there is a reason Roger doesn't just hip out
@@ScolopaxJJ as a BJJ instructor, I would answer by saying its a 4 point sequence that doesnt require unusual speed or flexibility to achieve. It relies on connection, timing and sensitivity to achieve. Its refreshing because people these days tend to gravitate to the newest and flashiest options that are often different just for the sake of being different.
This is my favorite attack from closed guard! I love that detail about breaking the grip and pushing his hand at the same time. Will definitely try this out!!
Im watching this for the first time, and im happy to hear the bit about flashy, popular techniques. Every time I watch Mica, I remark on how he is always doing straight fundamental techniques and thats all that is needed.
This kid just submitted Lucas "Hulk" Barbosa with a bow and arrow choke. Hes unreal, and he is not lying about being old school. While he can do it all, its apparent watching him that his game definitely resembles old school more than new.
I've been using a variation of something that looks like this. Easy back take and also opens up for a triangle and armbar. Hard to type out but it accomplishes the back take
we just learned this...this week but with the Gracie back take or if he postures up you go under dive sweep! really interesting to see! gonna add this to my playstyle :D
Takes cyborg down in training, wins black belt tourneys looking considerably stronger and more technical than most opponents, teaches in second language very well, and is 17 years old.
I wonder what bernardo looks like when he is mad. I can picture him mounting someone and punching yelling "this should be a huge honor for you to hit by me!"
At 7:55 he has control of the opponent's right sleeve and the control of the newly held lapel under the armpit. That means he controls the whole upper torso, making it hard (not impossible) to jump over. Also the right foot is there, up, on the hip which means to jump over, due to the upper body control and slight twist, you could only really post properly with your head. Best way to find out is to try it with a friend 🙂 From mechanics perspective I think it makes sense to me. I'll try it out tonight during my BJJ class.
Ok Bernardo who says: how simple is that...Anybody can do. Guys just remember most BJJ black belts who demo techniques on youtube, usually have drilled it hundred of times, please.
1:57 initial grip break and set up 2:49 grip in armpit, breaking posture along with. 4:26 beware this pass 4:47 hip escapes x 6:17 palming side of strong grip fingers 7:36 option to use lapel as another handle. 8:37 why he likes armpit grip over the elbow control 9:15 no gi variation over elbow grip
There's only 3 guarantees in the world:
- Death
- Taxes
- Huge honour for Bernardo
That's incredible
Hahahaahahahahahaaha sensational
Some people even get out of paying taxes lol
Yewwj*
Wow, for a 17 year old teaching in his 2nd language he is a great teacher.
17 yo BJJ black belt ????????????????????????????????????????????????
@@tededo don't even question it. he's as legit as they come.
@@tededo this kid is fucking dynamite mate.... look him up.

Do anything for 17 years 8 hours a day and surprise you will also know what you're doing.
17 year old bb, Jesus. Talk about spending your time wisely. Nothing but respect.

Same. The hip escape...the lapel control...this ish is going in my game ASAP.
Very similar to Roger Gracie's back take from guard. Refreshing to see such a young black belt focused on the fundamentals.
Exactly the same thing. Old school 👍

What exactly is fundamental with it? And why is it refreshing?

@@ScolopaxJJ everything is fundamental. If you neglect any part of the game you are going to suck.
His english is impressive. Sky is the limit for him.
Old school moves, maximum efficiency of energy
This is my favorite attack from closed guard! I love that detail about breaking the grip and pushing his hand at the same time. Will definitely try this out!!
This is a great technique I can't wait to try this. Also for being 17 years old Mica is an incredible teacher already!
This kid is a role model, not just because of his Jiu-Jitsu but his character is something else.
Mica seems like a really cool, down-to-earth kid. Never change!
Im watching this for the first time, and im happy to hear the bit about flashy, popular techniques.
Every time I watch Mica, I remark on how he is always doing straight fundamental techniques and thats all that is needed.
I really like the way how clear he explains the move, in the same time staying humble despite all Bernardo's legit praises for his talent.
Wow ...The youngman is going very far in life. Mahalo the spirit is fresh....
Bernardo
That's incredible, that's amazing. Zero resistance
Mica looks dangerous, his english is very sharp as well, I will keep an eye on this little future champion!
These details are just wonderful
awesome. seems like a humble kid too!
Will definitely be trying this tonight
I like the detail on the initial grip when you get your wrist behind their wrist in the arm drag position. I can't wait to try this.
Extremely humble and intelligent kid. Great video!
Brincadeiras a parte, sou fã dos dois.
The same way I teach it! Love the way you teach it Mica!
This technique is so effective! Thank you for sharing this. This attack became my go to whenever someone is on my closed guard.
Great lesson from Mica
Fundamentals, easy , efficient and effective. Make things simple.
Old skool👊 Respect! 🙏
Been working this lately, and it truly seems nearly unstoppable. Once I’m really good at it, it’s going to be a seriously sharp tool in my belt.
I do something similar, but I’m going to try this method tonight on the mats. 👍
I use a super close version too, the biggest difference in this is the detail in the grip change to expose the back. I fucking LOVE that detail.
I have been doing this for a LONG time (slight variation). This is the first time Ive ever seen someone teach it on video! Nice job kid! Looks great!

obrigado irmao sucesso pra vc!!
Thats an incredible grip.
Bernardo, thank you for doing these and bringing the best to us. They are amazing!
Thank you I will try it
Super cool. Thank you
Obrigado.
This old-school kid is great. I also like the old-school jiu-jitsu better than the new one.
This was a great video. Great job explaining the technique
Excellent
Going to be trying this next time I'm rolling 😁 thanks.
Great details! Wow!!!

Good sweep

I also love to rewwwweeece the lapel
Closed guard is the best !
Gordan better watch out this youngster is humble and has integrity.
Gordon loves this guy. Watch the recent FloGrappling video where Gordon talks about him.
Wish i could watch Mica roll vs Bernardo
Legit skills
This kid seems a good guy
4:00 "Open open openy" 😆🤣
This kid could end up being the Brazilian Danaher for instructionals.
I wonder what bernardo looks like when he is mad. I can picture him mounting someone and punching yelling "this should be a huge honor for you to hit by me!"
What about doing this in no gi?
As good as that video was, my favourite part was "openy openy openy" 😂
I don't quite get how your right leg prevents him from jumping and passing your open guard
At 7:55 he has control of the opponent's right sleeve and the control of the newly held lapel under the armpit. That means he controls the whole upper torso, making it hard (not impossible) to jump over. Also the right foot is there, up, on the hip which means to jump over, due to the upper body control and slight twist, you could only really post properly with your head.

Gracie Barra north Phoenix 2019.
7:42. I don't know about fishing for that lapel grip in real time. Someone will try to trap your arm
There goes my entire game. 😂
It looks effective even without doping
Riu di onor for mi
vei, só eu que acho que o mica fala melhor inglês do que português 🤣
