[@1.0.1Piece]

“Marcelo gets single leg x, he’s sick at single leg x”
“Marcelo is working on getting the crucified, I’m being crucified, what can I do? He’s sick at this position”
“Marcelo has guard, he’s sick at this position”
“Marcelo has neutral standing position, so sick”

[@warriorloyal3621]

🤣

[@Sketchmedic]

That’s called being humble.

[@1.0.1Piece]

@@Sketchmedic he’s sick at being humble

[@yahyagannour8486]

I hope he's not sick anymore

[@kingahmose9824]

😂😂

[@joeyservo]

How on earth are people rolling and not watching while this is going on?

[@danzena4059]

+joeyservo Because they want to get their roll on.

[@jamesbeck6644]

Cause its Keenan he is super boring to watch.

[@NicksRawClips]

do you even jiu jitsu bro??

[@thelast_one4119]

because there are too many details

[@megamaxiguy]

Because you'll learn more by rolling.

[@fritzdagger]

Hey guys thanks for watching, make sure to subscribe for more videos like this.

[@travisrudd]

+Keenan Cornelius Thanks so much man, this was super helpful!

[@jrmbayne]

+Keenan Cornelius at the beginning, MG seems to just walk right through your DLR and Mantis attempts. Had that happened with that ease before? I understand that you guys weren't going at it 100% and you readily swap to new tactics instead of stalling, which I like, but it looked like you put up the DLR, he stripped it and walked around, and you made the judgement call, "yeah, that's not a game I should play with him"
Just curious. Love the video, love watching you both work.

[@newyolkeggs944]

+William “The Dragonslayer” Schrimsher whats dlr

[@jrmbayne]

Newyolk Eggs de la Riva (a type of leg positioning for guard, makes passing difficult)

[@Mdsub101]

That was awesome to watch. I'd love to see you two roll in the Gi. I'd like to see how he counters the worm guard.

[@supernalbjj]

that knee on the elbow is gold, thanks keenan

[@ClaytonJonesImages]

+supernalbjj I'm going to use this every time!!! It's soooo slick

[@mohamedmaiza3866]

Yeah it really is

[@Dan-lg4bs]

Watch him roll with Eddie bravo he nearly gets caught in the twister but pulls off an outrageous escape

[@Kujien]

crazy how far ahead of the game Marcelo Garcia was, to compete with todays most innovative bjj black belt practitioners

[@MichaelSmith-ny9qh]

How the hell is that? You make it sound like hes from the 1800s

[@Firstname_Surname]

@@MichaelSmith-ny9qh Dude, 5-10 years in competitive sports is crazy. Look at Askren vs. Burroughs.

[@Momsspaghetti777]

First name Surname that’s definitely just not the case. Burroughs was always steps ahead. Askren doesn’t have a single world championships in wrestling under his belt. Burroughs has like 10
Plus wrestling is a way larger sport internationally than bjj.
The difference between an entry level world level competitor and one at the highest level would be like Marcelo Garcia vs regular blackbelt.
Also take into consideration that Askren is yeaaaars outside of the wrestling circle. Marcelo Garcia is still within the bjj circle.
So no. That’s a terrible analogy

[@33moneyball]

Mom’s Spaghetti look at their respective folk style records...and Marcelo has been competitively out of the loop for a decade. He trains but zero top tier tournaments or matches. It’s an imperfect analogy but it’s not a terrible one

[@Momsspaghetti777]

33moneyball Jordan Burroughs has the same accomplishments in folkstyle and couldn’t even wrestle an entire year
IMMEDIATELY after Burroughs went his last year undefeated in a weight he’s never wrestled at despite the lay off.
Even in college Burroughs is slightly better, but in freestyle specifically Burroughs is a different league. Askren was at the entry level of international competition, like an Artem Lobov type of the Olympics
Burroughs was THE guy to beat.
They’re nothing alike

[@f3nomeleven434]

Damn that was the first time I've seen Marcelo in a defensive position in a training roll.

[@iangilmartin]

On his own website there is a ton of footage showing him in bad positions, even getting tapped out.

[@lauca6969]

Keenan was competing at this time Marcelo was retired from comp

[@royburge3611]

I tap Marcelo out periodically.

[@kirklandau2826]

@@lauca6969 Plus Keenan is larger. But also Keenan is just that good (which indicates how the level of skill and talent is increasing in BJJ, and the game is evolving, partly due to innovations Marcelo himself introduced as a modern pioneer of the art)

[@danielhawthorne1838]

@@royburge3611 i just tapped the like button to your awesome fucking comment! Winning!

[@BrixG3164]

Keenan!! Your attitude is refreshing, humble and infused with appreciation for the art and the BJJ community. really great watch and tips. Well done.

[@joselima5842]

Agreed. Nice to see such humble and respectful legends role! Oss, muito bom mesmo.

[@nymmaful]

If you take Marcelo's back, you hold on for dear life and never let go. That's all I was thinking as soon as you put on the body triangle, and then you basically said as much right after.

[@williamandrews7114]

Jack slack sent me here. That knee on the elbow, absolute gold

[@lujitsu1251]

Two grappling kings going at it...how blessed we are to live in a time where we can see this on video and learn from it. Thank you Keenan and Marcelo.

[@craigu3]

I was excited to see this friendly roll (among legends) when it first popped up on UA-cam but now, with the added commentary, we are graced with a glimpse into Keenan's head. Two masters at work and a commentary that can help any grappler's game immensely. Thanks Keenan and please feel free to do more of these!

[@dobermann64]

Thanks so much for those commentaries. Better than instructionals for advance players. Always a very intelligent approach of the game

[@evandrorodrigues9179]

Older and not competing guy against a Newer and constant competitor. There is no place for questions like who is the best??.. Kenaan is Amazing and i love to see his fights. But Marcelo is a living legend. Period.

[@buckmajor]

Wow very good Keenan. Can't believe the vid is 4yrs old must of missed it. Excellent breakdown too. OSS!

[@raggledaggle721]

Extremely educative. Will probably be able to watch this over a period of a couple of years and learn new stuff every time. Thanks

[@WhitecatProject]

I hope other top players follow your example and offer top level commentary like you do. we gain a lot from these videos. thank you

[@Goodser]

Thanks Keenan, the commentaries are great. The detail i saw the other day about Marcelo's wrist control from the open/seated guard has been working well.

[@CarloS-dc9zm]

man. what a treat it must have been for the people who were there

[@25davidhenry]

Very interesting and informative commentary. Thank you!

[@Jits_Monster]

What a great breakdown! I really like the pointing out of the kimura defense detail.

[@jaydub7121]

This is an awesome video. Two of my favorite BJJ players. The Greatest and the NextGen. Keenan you are awesome. What a great roll with Marcelo and great commentary. The details of what was going on were awesome.

[@DAIXINYI]

this was fantastic, Sir, thanks for sharing. my favourite part was when you reversed that "crucifix" that was incredible.

[@vietta84able]

Keenan! That was totally awesome. Been a fan since your matches at brown belt. Your ability to adapt to different grappling styles, weights, and body types are top notch. Awesome rolling session here. Had to subscribe! Thanks!

[@katethegreat4918]

I love how Marcelo pats Keenan’s belly at the end of the roll. 😂

[@jidase]

Awesome, AWESOME breakdown and commentating. Very educational! I am so, sooooo using your stuff!

[@rockofullr]

Hispecht

[@JadedAllDay]

Much appreciated Keenan, there a lot of tips and tricks that I will watch here over and over. Thanks for sharing.

[@dualmass]

Marcelo is such a good guy, he'll roll with anyone and everyone, Whats so cool about this video is Keenan seems to feel the same way I did the first time I rolled with him ..... Rolling with Marcelo always makes you feel lucky, He probably could finish you but he doesn't,,,, he lets the flow continue, exchanges of position and technic are so rewarding and addictive, Another stellar video......... Rolling with Mateus,,,, not as fun, he's a killer and wants you to know it!

[@kirklandau2826]

I don't think a past-prime, out-of-competition Marcelo can just decide to finish Keenan Cornelius. Even if Marcelo treated this as a competition and was deadset on the finish, it would be a struggle, and far from guaranteed. This is Keenan fucking Cornelius we're talking about

[@zxkjr]

thats a a really high level back defense.Not everyone can say they escaped marcelo's seatbelt control.Props to you keenan

[@gageabdul]

It'd be awesome to see you guys roll in the Gi. Dope commentary though, I did pick up a few things.

[@Cornbreadddd]

Please do more of these no-gi commentary / analysis videos. They're so insightful.

[@JiuJitus1210]

Wow! That was a great video Kenean. Please do more of thread and thanks for taking the time to teach us.

[@Cornbreadddd]

Wow......i'm very new to jiu-jitsu but the way you broke this down was so entertaining and the entire video was like a constant "ahhhhhhhh...." or "aha!" moment.......can't wait to see more breakdowns just like this.

[@yodizzll]

my friend- this was a fantastic breakdown, thanks so much for uploading it!

[@Tunisian9000]

Really enjoyed the insights your commentary provided. I had watched the video of the roll but you explained a lot of the stuff that was going over my head.

[@MorganTDaniels]

Great commentary on the practice. Super interesting and a lot of nice details. Especially that knee that prevented the kimura, I so would have not noticed it had you not pointed it out like you did.

[@LAZ4R]

Keenan, I had no idea how good you were until I watched this roll with Marcelo. Bravo!

[@TENNSUMITSUMA]

0:27
ah... someone explain that... girl/guy, whatever, on the left! is he/she/it naked?! i'm on a 4k screen and I cant see any folds from where clothes, even tights, are bunching up!

[@thesmitty83]

You know someone is a legend when you get their back and it’s considered a victory. Diego Sanchez lost his shit when he got MG’s back in competition. He lost due to submission but he was so happy he didn’t even care

[@abdelhakym8283]

Lol,if i took his back,i'd hang a picture of it in my room,putting Marcelo is a defensive position and tapping him are entirely different,the moment you switch to a submission he's already out of there

[@edval5562]

Hey Keenan, thank you for your honest review on your match with Marcelo G. I really enjoyed it.

Marcello is a beast and Keenan had the edge in that one. Two of my favourite guys.

Kennen, I absolutely love watching videos like this. I'm begging you to roll with Rener Gracie sometime and do a comentary. I think it would get tons of views! Thanks, love what you do and your mindset

2 of the best to ever do it. Thanks for this Keenan

[@jakzev]

Thanks, Keenan! Excellent video! :D

Just subscribed. Wow! Mucho Bueno Muchacho\m/ Great Breakdown, great commentary, very knowledgeable and great technique. Very glad I ran into your videos.

[@nicholasnj3778]

shows how humble true Martial Artists are, they did not clear the mat they just rolled like any of the guys there even through they are not just any of the guys there, even after almost getting kicked in the head everyone who wanted to roll was still rolling #OSS

[@kanenas9607]

I want to see Keenan roll with Rafael Lovato
I also cant imagine how anyone could be doing anything else but watch this fight going on
Id probably pee myself rather than go to the WC and miss that

[@overlordisgoogle8431]

Keenan thank you for this information. Its invaluable to the BJJ community.

[@nannycrackers]

not just invaluable, it's worthless

[@BJJJoe]

Nice breakdown brother! Thanks!!

[@sethweidman2069]

Keenan, thanks so much for posting this commentary!

[@mikewolf5493]

Great tips, great roll, OSSOMENESS! !!

[@MMAneuver]

Keenan: Love this video! - it actually helped me work out a nifty counter to the hook removal to overhead toss you were showing off here.
Would you mind telling me what software you use to do the anyalsis? Thanks!

[@larrynorman1617]

Keenan is the truth. His style is perfect for his body type, but I think it would be hard to teach to certain body types.

[@hamzaelalami5652]

What do you mean ? #jb 😭 no just kidding uare yalking about his sick lapel guards or something else ?

[@georgegilles9008]

Spectacular match.

[@badoocee1967]

Thanks for sharing Keenan. OSS!

[@jeffzahnd]

i want to commend Keenan for keeping it classy, and using the video coverage to explain/teach rather than brag. Because if you last more than 20 seconds very marcello you have rights to brag :D but seriously, keep it up!

[@johnnyjack6499]

Hey Keenan. Thanks for sharing. You're the value. You're team captain cause you see the value in others. Jitz is great for humility. Like looking out through different eyes but same thing. You being awesome doesn't diminish us. It empowers us cause we're on the same team. Try digging with a shovel and pick axe for 30 minutes a day. The Korean wrestlers dug the pit to make their grips and tendons super human. Like human flesh on a hardened chassis. Not extra weight or muscle, just upgrade to existing awesomeness. Shine on you crazy diamonds.✌️

[@izzate7]

The fact that Keenan can break down anything that Marcelo is doing is bananas.

[@Malouco]

Wow, knee to the elbow to escape. Man. He is so smart. To bad he doesn't have striking. Imagine if he punched as good as his jiujitsu. He would be undefeated in mma.

[@marcushellstrom1157]

I love how Keenan refers to his varying grips around a concept, as Kimura grips rather than revolving around his Figure-four grips. Haha this is what would call stand concept the complement to base concepts and posture concept.

[@Drumzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Awesome video dude! You killed it

[@ARTofWAAR]

Love it. Thanks for posting. Quick question. Very beginning are you kinda playing with the idea of a possible berimbolo? If so it looks like he was able to foot control and drop his hips to stop the progression of the berimbolo.

[@ivantamayoromero1668]

Crazy that Marcelo can hang with this young stuts when his such a fossil. He is still going strong and my favorite! 🙌🏾

[@cubanlinkz201]

if "time" had not run out u probably would've gave marcelo some trouble in spider web..would've been awesome to see..very awesome match

[@oszy13]

Keenan is a don.. probably the only youtube roll session I've seen with someone not getting schooled by MG

[@ZombiePanda501]

I saw one where some unfamous practitioner tapped marcelo with some weird ass sub from bottom side control

[@oszy13]

+Chris N would love to see that. Competition drives the evolution of the art. Like Eddie coming up with the twister

[@xclockwork77x]

+Chris N was it caval?

[@nasr7341]

@@ZombiePanda501 It must suck to be marcelo. You can't take it easy for a second when you roll because if someone surprises you know that shit is going on youtube immediately

[@pendejo6466]

Wrist control, wrist control, wrist control...got it.

[@TWoNaGe]

Also, I don't know if you realize but this match is kinda the talk of the town in the BJJ world right now. Would you consider a AMA or live stream to take some questions?

[@1ma4ighter]

holy shit! so much shit to learn!
Marcelo is fuckin epic! I'm pretty sure he can take the current open and heavyweight world champs, epic!

[@MrLucasBS]

thnks Keenan, I was really wondering what you did to escape from the x guard and the crucifix position, congratulations, now, how about your roll with Matheus ? will you make a video about it ?

[@staff72]

Awesome man. Your a stud, Marcelo is well, Marcelo, The greatest...

[@cornerstone2449]
