    Amazing Is not enough of a compliment for you taking your time and sharing those basic concepts with us. I did Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Rio 45 years ago for 4 years and what drove me to do it is exactly what you preached in this video. We learn how to be present and to use the strength or weight of your opponent to your advantage. if you exhaust and win your adversary psychologically , the physical win will come right after.
    That is the beauty of the Art of delf defence of Jiu-Jitsu....

      I said what surely must have been the absolute dumbest thing I could have said at the time which was "make me."
      At that point in time she was about 70. Quite spry.

    I watched this video and then tried this technique (hooking the legs while on mount position) two days ago in my Krav Maga class when we were doing free grappling and this guy 24 years old and 210 pounds and in shape couldn't push me off for his life and I'm 31 years old and 160-165 pounds. We are both novices, and that was the first time I tried this move too. He got tired and eventually I chocked him. Pretty effective stuff. I want to learn more.

      Outside of technique, it also helps that Krav Maga is horrible system. There's a massive lack of knowledgeable instructors, archaic techniques, and zero actual training. If you're learning Krav Maga in the US (or anywhere other than Isreal), you're wasting your money.
      Isreali soldiers and former Isreali soldiers have attended classes at some of the best "Krav Maga" schools in the US and nearly died. Not from the sparring. From laughter at the stupidity.

      Beta that is because to own a red belt, you need to be teaching for 10 years or something, you can google up the exact numbers. But basically, if you want a better belt, the more years you teach the better. There are a lot of places, since i guess it slowly evolved like that.

    • @tomte47
      @tomte47 5 років тому +84

      All pro MMA guys train BJJ or some simular form of submision wrestling, then they also train striking like boxing/muay thai.
      Striking alone with no wrestling training/practice is an autoloss to a decent BJJ guy.

I sprawled out and got my legs locked into his as demonstrated in the video and he got exhausted trying to get me off of him. From there I was able to eventually get the arm bar from the top and submit him. My coach was impressed that I knew this! Thanks for the video and keep up the good training videos!
