When I fought in China for the first time, I quickly realized that sanda fighters (just like Muay Thai fighters) grease themselves up with lard before the matches. But when these guys transitioned to MMA, they still greased themselves up, because there was no athletic commission telling them not to. My first MMA fight against a greased up guy was nuts. He slipped out of every submission attempt. He couldn’t slip out of full mount though. I grew up in a small town next to a rodeo arena in ancient times before animal rights activists. Every year they would have a greased pig chase for the kids. It was exactly like that: trying to catch a greased piglet that doesn’t want to be caught (you can’t) Rashguards and grease as opposed to bare skin and grease is a very different dynamic. Bare skin, one greasy guy makes both guys slick. One rashgaurd will reduce the friction no matter what. Anyway, this video brought back some memories of weird times! Keep at it Jedi! You rule man!
Ramsey Dewey Tell us about how GSP would get smoked at freestyle mall and brawl , even though he was jumping into and winning at freestyle all the way back in the 2000s and Canada wanted him on their Olympic team cuz he was smoking their guys, Ya know that video you made said he would lose to a High schooler.......please tell me more of most enlightened and autistic leader.
Thanks for all the great videos, they've really helped me begin my BJJ learning. I have to say, I prefer when you do an audio description of the rolls. I can't read and watch, to the extent where I'm really absorbing it, at the same time. Probably just me because I'm a very white belt and dyslexic. Anyway, thanks again.
The “body builder “ appears to have some basic junior high wrestling skills with both hand control and head position. Definitely not your average bodybuilder that would basically end up on his back and be a turtle…..
Great vid! Just a note on the armless triangle, as opposed to putting your shin across his shoulders and hooking it up just straighten both of your legs while just keeping your feet crossed and to add an extra squeeze you can give you knees a bearhug and securing it with an s/gable grip reaching over his shoulders but under your legs. Cheesus that's difficult to describe!! Hopefully it makes some sort of sense. It is fun to get when people are going for double unders!
Hey Jedi, congratulations on becoming a Brown belt. I'm currently a BBJ White belt and recently achieved my first stripe. Gotta keep practicing, hopefully I'll get my blue by 2024.
To finish the armless triangle I’d recommend getting your close side arm (here left) to hold your shin from next to his neck diagonally (like a cross choke with gi), using your arm to fill the gap and create pressure as opposed to his arm being used, then finish like a standard triangle, it’s better to get this in before locking it up though as you may face trouble sliding the arm in, hope I helped
Just my thoughts on bodybuilding as well, I think a lot of people who practice martial arts don't consider the fact that body building in itself can be considered another form of training. Not specifically for fighting mind you, but just like how a trained fighter should be able to easily defeat an untrained average person I feel a bodybuilder should typically be able to outperform/defeat an untrained average person. I'm speaking from the perspective of a trained fighter who weighs less than 200lb and am regularly going against men bigger and stronger than me, but are typically less experienced in jiu jitsu. Sorry for the rant there, I suppose my main thought was just that it pays to be buff/in good condition as much(-Ish) as being well trained.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Many people prioritize technique over conditioning when in reality, both pillars supplement each other. Techniques are efficient applications of strength, so getting stronger will help the effectiveness and reliability of the technique. In order to get good at technique, one must get countless hours of experience drilling and using it in live sparring, and it helps to have muscular endurance and a good gas tank so you don't practice it sloppily and develop bad habits. "You're so strong" being a backhanded compliment in grappling (specifically BJJ) has always baffled me.
@@dannygrows Actually I'd disagree, from my experience it's the dumb untrained people who pick a fight the most because they don't understand how badly you can get hurt. Most, and I cannot stress the word most here, people who train learn there's always a bigger fish after getting their asses kicked by the coach for the five thousandth time.
India, Turkey, The Philippines, some tribes in Africa and I'm sure many other places have stand-up wrestling methods where the athletes grease up. In the tropics, shirtless folks get greasy just based on body oils and sweat. Nice to see a video using this topic for submission wrestling. I had to laugh though because lubriderm absorbs after a bit. I know in India and the Philippines, coconut oil was the standard oil used of this - now that's deep fried. I'm a BJJ one stripe white belt but a Judo brown. For stand up wrestling where the goal is doing throws from stand up it 100% changes the game greatly. I think lubriderm would change things but like for Jedi not so much. Also when we are doing it, we are shirtless, so the rash guard also greatly changes things.
To be fair. Nobody has accused anyone of greasing right before a match. The accusations are that they greased way before the match and then during the match the lotion comes out of the skin. That's why it's not as easily detectable before the match.
Hey jedi for that headlock try grabbing that left arm grabbing his shoulder and using your forearm to push on his shin and neck and it always breaks the headlock no matter how big the dude
I don't know if I've encountered any greasers, specifically... But in highachool wrestling, some guys wore long-sleeved rash guards like yours which made holding onto wrists much more difficult. I found it quite frustrating, wish they were banned.
Man, I don't know what's going on with you lately, but you post a video like once every other month. On top of that, you didn't narrate and give a play by play like you normally do. I don't appreciate the subtitles. Of course, I can read. I watch anime, but I like hearing your voice break down what's happening. Thanks for the 🔥 video btw! ✌️
Greasing gives an advantage to the boring grappler. If you told these guys “survive 5 minutes to get to overtime” they could do it much easier vs when dry. As white belts they will run forward much too often to get an advantage.
I trained with a guy that put some kinda lotion on before training. Once he started sweating some kinda slimy film would form and when you put him on his back he’d literally slide all over the mat. I body to body didn’t make a big difference if his opponents wore a shirt.
Hey I just got this video recommended and I loved it, but the subtitles were strange. I watch MMAShredded and am used to his voice over, I felt like the subtitles were a bit more of a hindrance because I couldn't read the text and watch your moves in the same time (so I had to rewind it over and over). I'm just saying it because I would guess creating all those subtitles is a more time consuming thing than simple telling us what you are doing. But maybe you heard this a thousand times already, just thought I might give you a feedback that could help you. Anyways, great video!!
I use lotion religiously and I’m also extraordinarily sweaty. It’s embarrassing af. Anyhow, it makes me super slippery but it also makes my opponent slippery to me. I find that once things get slimy, limb attacks are pretty much useless. However, chokes become easier because you can slide under their chin and they can’t hand fight effectively without any grip.
Jedi, how do u tie your hair so they stays in place ? I have long hair and work in IT so i won't cut it because now i look like... IT pro, when im bald i look like a thug, so hairs basically prevents me to going for the mats >.
Wtf of course not. Body building has nothing to do with bjj lol. All the body builder can do is hold you off but they are going to get tapped and they will never tap you.

Yep. Solid sprawling, hand control, head positioning. Definitely has a bit of wrestling knowledge.
@@DirectFireDave That lateral drop was nice. Probably not all 4 years of highschool experience, maybe 1 or 2

exactly, ive finished them with my fist against the neck as well
Beautiful reference to Ymfah vids ❤
greasing rolls start at 7:40
The bro rolled into his own death. I felt that.
Tropico music gets a like. A man of culture.
jumping guard on white belts??? love it!
Brown belt against someone who never did any grappling? Wow
He literally has 😂
So true so true
I liked his purple belt vids better
Idk…. I liked it!
Maybe the idea was greasing would make a bigger difference for someone less skilled?
0:09
The start of Jedi's OF arc.
I really like your videos man! I’ve been watching them for a while now

Agree and understand your point. However, 'untrained average people' aren't generally the ones to pick fights, especially not with bodybuilders

It is always better to be strong and coordinated. It will never be bad in a sport to be strong
I miss your videos, your were great and your videos were funny, but I could learn alot from it.
Gotta love the ymfah reference

Never used the arm drag inside trip but it just became my new favourite takedown.
That pop! He’ll feel that once the adrenaline is gone, ouch!
Jedi has sick Jitz Skills...
I want to try that armdrag takedown 9:53. Looks really cool.
nicky ryan has a great video about how to do it. if you search "nicky ryan viral takedown" you should find it

Thorough, thoughtful content. Thank you sir
the effects and some comments of jedi were soooo funny omg
I love the godhand music :3
Bro has the ymfah set up for his vids, W.
Hey jedi for that headlock try grabbing that left arm grabbing his shoulder and using your forearm to push on his shin and neck and it always breaks the headlock no matter how big the dude
But maybe it would've created space and you said you didn't want it
Didn't expect to hear a God Hand track randomly stumbling on your video lol.
Great historical reference on Italy at 7:24.
Jedi really did the dumbshits guide to dark souls style! Love it!
I’m a fan brother, youre awesome man! Thanks for all the work that you do! 🙏💯💯💯💪
First guy looks like he wrestled
‘Didn’t know they were teaching that in the squat rack’ lmaooo
I'd love it if you made voiceover commentary instead, hard to read and see what happens at the same time.
I feel like the video format at the beginning was a bit of a nod to Mitten Squad haha
“He is from Florida get rebutted” 🤣🤣
Thought that lotion said, "B-Team." hehe.
The berserk music went crazy at 5:22
The god hand music goes a little too well with this video 😂😅
Super interesting to watch & I learned some techniques thank you.
Damn funny video thanks Jedi
i see you watch Ymfah :P nice choice in music!
Awesome video! Great job Brandon!
0:34 I understood this reference.

Do it again with KY Jelly 😂
Lotion gets really slippery only once you sweat a lot. I can’t really tell but they don’t seem too sweaty?
Yo jedi, do you know a guy named joshbjj, you should collab with him. That would be fun to see
9:31 😂
Ayyyeeee lfggg🔥🔥🔥
gotta love those souls references

I think the big guy knew some stuff he aint untrained
Nice ymfah reference lol
Where was the body builder I didn't see one?
He might lift weights but I wouldn't call him a bodybuilder.
I trained with a guy that put some kinda lotion on before training.
Once he started sweating some kinda slimy film would form and when you put him on his back he’d literally slide all over the mat.
I body to body didn’t make a big difference if his opponents wore a shirt.
Can you make more submission videos
Who gave this guy his brown belt? we have to check this brudda...

Glad you like it. You always gotta try something new with the content. sometimes you hit sometimes not
I will only roll with greased up gents
10:12 What do you think of Von Flue chokes? I think I would've gone for one here.
I think you’re supposed to get them sweaty for you to notice a difference
Berserk!!
Congrats on the belt 🤎
Idk why you decided to fight Rodtang

Seems like the cheater may have some grappling experience
are xmartial shorts velcro or elastic?
What's the last song called?
ask your mom about my greasing hah
Hey, I’m a white belt from Florida too…..😱🤘🏻🔥🤣😂😜
Was that a B-team reference? 😂
Where is the bodybuilder?
What does he mean by big shoulder treatment for the darce def? I tried looking it up but I cant find it.
jumping guard??
Did you change gyms bro?
He tried change his hairline
Greased up deaf guy said that?
Why u rolling w white belts
In a real fight. Maybe.
Pull you closer in the back seat of your rover
Grease & lube sound so dirty; I wish they called it Body Butter instead.
Imma cop that
6:20
Next up greased up brown belt only fans for men? 😅
von flue choke him! hehehe

Wtf of course not. Body building has nothing to do with bjj lol. All the body builder can do is hold you off but they are going to get tapped and they will never tap you.
