I survived a day with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt Rener Gracie 
Спорт
Rener is the most incredible teacher Ive ever seen. Dude is so hype about everything, simplifies it, is encouraging, and has completely mastered his craft. Bravo to him
Honestly incredible. His enthusiasm for BJJ is infectious
@@elephxd Agreed. Makes me want to get into it lol. Need more teachers like him!
Most martial arts guys are awesome.
Reminds me of people on speed
@@sahhhbrahhh6408DO IT
Magnus is such a good learner and Rener is such a good teacher. This vid is probably one of the best recruitment tools to BJJ I’ve seen in ages.
And then the workout part is also very interesting (although I don’t workout). And then the portion on the airplane seat sleep thing is… although an obvious plug, still nice content! I’m a happy boy
When Magnus started doing videos with different kinds of athletes and competitors I had a feeling this was coming down the line eventually. Especially the strongmen trying climbing videos because you think "I wonder if powerlifter strength will translate to climbing grip strength?" and jujitsu is always pushing back against people who don't think it would work against strong men, powerlifters etc. This is now another wrinkle in that debate. Magnus isn't big, not ridiculously strong, but has insane grip strength, flexibility, and climbing seems to work muscle groups in a similar way to jujitsu. I can almost guarantee that magnus would progress significantly faster than most people, even athletes if he stuck to it for a few years. It makes me think of something Eddie bravo said on Joe Rogan years ago about breakdancers starting jujitsu and getting to black belt 2 or 3 years faster than other people, it's just something that involves a lot of the same movements and perhaps even thought processes (I know it sounds weird, but i think there's something to it).
I guess this is just a long winded way of saying that if a skilled climber wanted to pick up ANY combat sport, I'd be surprised if they didn't find jujitsu to be the most natural and in tune with their ability. In a weird way even just looking at both, they really seem surprisingly similar. I could be totally off though, so if anyone has experience with both, i welcome your perspective.
@bollong bollong it's possible but if you have a good lock or choke you can effectively warn them: "bite me and I break your arm"
@bollong bollong okay... So you got a bite mark on your leg. Perhaps even a small tear of flesh. But in exchange, you render his arm useless and still have the opportunity to move on to more deadly force if desired
agreeee!!!
“What did I do wrong?”
I love this mindset by Magnus. Always eager to learn, always humble. Even though he’s comfortably in the 1% of athletes in the world.
Against a blackbelt of that caliber, everything. Doesn't matter what you do, it is wrong.
@@DBowTXhe doesn’t mean it like that even tho it’s true he was just admiring Magnus’s yearn for learning a completely foreign skill
Lies again? Loyalty Bonus Learn Brazil
@@placeholder2836
I know how he meant it. I've asked the exact same question.
As you learn more, you realize it would be akin to asking a chess master what you did wrong against him. You sat down at the table, or in this case, got on the mat.
There is no "right move" because there is a counter to every counter.
Even some of the tenants of BJJ, say: keep your elbows tight, can become a liability against a skilled blackbelt.
Thats what I meant.
Osu
@@DBowTX Which is the difference between someone who's skilled and someone who is a good teacher. Just like in chess, not all grandmasters are good at teaching and this is the same in Juijutsu or any skill in general. Teaching is completely different from being able to learn and master something, teaching is much more a people-skill than it is a mastery of the skill you're teaching.
Gracie knows there's 1000 things he can point out that are wrong, but information overload makes that a bad idea. What's better is beginning a set of fundamentals that Magnus (or the student) can use to build themself up to a framework where he can begin teaching closer and close to these 1000 things. Just how like I wouldn't give an 8y/o quadratic formulas if they only know addition/subtraction.
Keep your elbows tight is because it's a good fundamental to start at, as you get better, you begin to understand when to not unlock your elbows. Most competitive skills are a set of fundamentals, that when you reach a high enough level, you learn when to break those fundamentals.
"What did I do wrong" in this instance is a good question and it's up to the teacher to give a good answer. The answer should be something where the teacher explains what type of reactions he wants to see at the student's current skill level, in order to build good fundamentals.
I'm a judo coach and I am absolutely trying my hardest to harness Rener's energy, what a coach, awesome teacher and what a great guy.
My thoughts too and the words are not an overstatement, awesome teacher, great guy, incredibly inspiring to see.
much respect i did judo from about 4 until around 14 starting to get back into it as of late
Haha I’d love to have his passion as well, inevitably I will find my thing like Rener clearly has
"Well see that's the problem, it's not jiu jitsu" -Rener, probably lol
‘Harness rener’s energy ‘😂😂
The amount of energy the teacher is giving is unreal! The way of teaching is such a pleasure to watch :)
My coach is the same way the best coaches r the ppl who really love what they do. U should try jiu jitsu it’s fun
For me as an introvert its somewhat hard to watch because i dont know how to deal with speakers that put so much energy. But I think its bringing me forward if I still watch and learn.
@@sonofhismother Ik introverts but not to this lvl I wish I could help u but all I can say is try to get out of ur comfort zone bc at the end of the day that’s what bjj is all ab being comfortable in uncomfortable situations
@@sezuai Damn bro, that's deep 😅
@@sonofhismotherbrother thats not just being an introvert thats social anxiety
Man this makes me want to start training BJJ. Dude is a great teacher. Lots of excitement and clear explanations.
Don’t wait. Just do it!
I Think that’s the point! Let’s gooooooo! 😂
"Dude is a great teacher" is an understatement.
I started yesterday after 15 years off. Never too late
And the best thing is that you can do gracie combatives from home, buddy. I promise you, is the same class that magnus took from Renner with him and his brother, Riron.
Rener is the embodiment of a BJJ Bro. His energy is hysterical he’s so hype and Magnus is so laid back 😂. There was a point wherein the beginning Magnus had a look on his face of “why am I in this situation. A 6ft man is holding me down by gyrating his pelvis on me with a huge smile. I can’t wait to get back to Norway”.
LMFAOOOOOOO
AHAHAHHAA
Magnus 9 months later 🫄 first man to get pregnant 😂😂😂
Hahaha. I finally convinced two friends to come and learn. And I know it's going to be awkward for the first couple of sessions till they get it.
hahah LMAOO it indeed looks exactly what he was thinking
_"We normally don't spar with beginnerd like this, but Magnus is a freak of nature, and I want to give him the chance to see another freak of nature."_
Hell, that's a cool line.
4 minutes in and this video feels magic. The energy, charisma and fluidity of explanation is unreal.
Look up Rener and Ryron's other videos. Their entire white belt course is on RUclips. It's called Gracie Combatives. They're amazing teachers.
Hot take and, of course, YMMV, but the charisma felt a bit put-on and manipulative to me. I usually prefer a more sober tone. Not entirely so, but serious enough so that I don't wonder whether the enthusiasm is some kind of emotional control. Emotions are contagious, and, yes, there are people out there who know this and use it to their advantage but not necessarily yours.
-- Self-Edit --
I would like to add that, although the charisma in the video seemed like a practiced form of, let's call it, engagement, I don't believe it's entirely unhelpful (since some students benefit from a show of enthusiasm) or even at all malicious. Still, I recoil at what I perceive to be people's conscious, tactically deployed techniques of influencing others, and I guess I do perceive such techniques here.
-- Self-Edit #2 --
It's only fair that I also acknowledge that some people are just exuberant by nature, that they, when they act spontaneously, slap people's backs and strut for cameras. They don't do these things to influence others but because they aren't influencing themselves. I have to admit that, although I suspect the "bro"s and "he's a natural" and "I'm going to steal your shoes" in this video _are_ conscious attempts at influencing Magnus's psychological state, there's no way for me to know for sure.
@@RictorIAG Thank you, I went and subbed and it will definitely be in my watch list.
@@declup and if they are downplaying the enthusiasm because they find that people are more easily manipulated from a neutral point as I generally would? He seemed genuine in wanting to be enthusiastic even if that is to provide a infectious energy.
Edit to say: I didn't mean to imply my goals are to manipulate but that I am generally more comfortable with lower energy and emotions. I'd say removing the idea of having motive from human interaction is basically impossible.
That calls passion
I've been training bjj for 10 years. This video gave me chills. Such a good teacher. I hope he continues training!
I even feel like I could achieve blue belt with him!!
@Argan Margan and your still white belt 😂
I love how he didn’t leg lock him too😂
@@Zumaray you could.
28 years of it and its insane how more confident I have become in sticky situations.
This guy's energy is PHENOMENAL! I'm basically amazed at how much he loves what he does. 100% approved, a few tears dropped here, that's sportsmanship and humanity.
love to see it
@@JoshDoes It's wholesome. Hope it warmed up your heart too, cuz mine melted
I think he inherited that persona and attitude from his father and grand father's school. This type of great martial arts teacher was more common in the late 1970's early 1980's. It's something that should be perpetrated for humanity. Today's de-generations are so narcissistic and impersonal they're not exposed to greatness like this.
@@ericastier1646 Cirurgical comment. As a 16 years old, i've been avoiding most of what our current generation has to offer, since it's complete nonsensical bs. I appreciate your elegant existence my friend, stay strong in a world that belongs to irrationality and evil behavior.
Edit: First of all, thanks for the explanation.
@@ErickOS6038 You're welcome, my compassionate advice to great young European natives people is to stick with people like Magnus, down to earth, and avoid the toxic degenerate pressure of the monopoly media which is used as a weapon by the enemy parasite financial minority oppressing those who built that civilization. Yes what is being fed to the current young generations by those people is toxic nonsensical bs. Trust your instinct and your independent voice and know that the enemy is currently in power and giving all the wrong markers to the young people.
Trust like minded people only not media bs.
I love how Rener had to tell him to ease up around 19:35. Those armbars are no joke if someone is a little to zealous in training.
That's what worry me. Stepping into a gym where the etiquette is poor
@@CraigalFunyup. Got my ribs broken in the first 5 days
@@AR-js6dmwho broke your ribs? A large(like fat) dude? Or did a purple belt or up smash them? Or was it somebody who was loose and insensitive with your body during a roll?
@@cork8843 yup an aggressive purple belt who people avoid rolling with lol I should have picked up on that sooner
@@AR-js6dm RIP, that bites. I wish you the best for your recovery.
Rener looked like such a serious and hard guy but you can tell he's so happy to share this with people and he's a really great teacher.
agreed!
Rener is possibly the best teacher I've ever seen. The amount of passion, charisma and professionality that guy has is stunning
Physicist Brian Cox.
Watch anything he has ever done for 2 minutes and you'll understand.
I could not agree more.
@@OriginalPuro👍👍👍
The enthusiasm is infectious
its also part of being brazilian... he is a great guy
man I would love to train with this guy. His energy and love for the sport is contagious.
he is not just a "this guy" he is the world prominent figure in this sport.
@@ericastier1646 careful, I thnk you have his sperm dribbling out of your mouth.
@@ericastier1646 He's still ''a guy'' though
@@cicatrace yankee doofus learn world etiquette.
@@ericastier1646 He's also got like a billion relatives that are also very good lol. Rener is only one Gracie. Renzo also has a gym in NYC.
Magnus is the epitome of a great student he always tries his best, is very humble, and instead of beating himself up when he fails he immediately focuses on what he can do better. I think thats a big reason why he excels in these challenge videos. great work
There's a good chance this is my favorite video you've done Magnus. It feels like I'm right there in the room, on the floor, having my mind opened to the capability of the human body. What an amazing dude Rener is.
Rener really explained things well, it's like he was letting him in on the secrets.
Man, I'd love to see what Magnus could achieve learning for a year from Rener.
I think many people could achieve great things if they were under Rener's wing for a year
I would 1000% watch a video about Magnus's bjj progression over 1 year with check-ins every few months or so. Would be cool to hear how bjj skills inform climbing and vice versa also.
Probably alot, but in jiu jitsu terms, not much. If that makes sense lmao.
@@Omgiamsotriggered I feel like a BJJ blue belt would roll 99% of the untrained population.
So I have to agree with your assessment. He'll be a much more formidable fighter but in terms of BJJ he wont get very deep into it in just a year.
nah he seemed so uncomfortable, its not his sport. I dont think he likes rolling on the ground with men
i was certified under the gracies to be an instructor last year. As a small 105 pound girl i can confirm that the techniques are effective for defense against bigger and stronger opponents. Rener is such an amazing teacher and the passion he has for teaching was such an encouragement to me while i was going through the certification process. I LOVED THIS VIDEO! everyone should try jiujitsu (especially at a Gracie certified training center)
Parabens!!!
congratulations on that
I have never wanted to train BJJ more than right now. Fantastic introduction.
My personal style is about 2x less advertising and 10x less "bro," but it's so easy to look past that when the instruction is this good. I taught martial arts for a number of years, and this might be the best session I've ever seen.
I'm confused by your statement. Are you saying Rener was advertising too much AND this was also a good lesson?
@@MyZ001those don't sound mutually exclusive to be honest
The advertising was a genius idea. Just imagine how many people started bjj classes after this video? It has over 1.6 million views.
He is an agressive sales guy, and it seems he is successful. He sounds like a teleshop guy selling a device which is good for everything, then you receive it, and you cannot even peel a potato with it. Gracies family was always about marketing. They used UFC as their marketing channel first, they shaped its rules in favor of bjj to make it seem more effective. Whenever they lost to a Judoka, karate guy or other one, they slightly changed the rules. I remember when one of the Gracies lost to a Judoka, and he did not congratulate because he told he did not pass out he just "relaxed" :D Then next time he met the Judoka, the rules changed, he did not wear a GI anymore, while Judoka did, and he kicked the Judoka in the groin in the first round :D I think it was Yoshida, but you can also check Sakuraba fights vs Gracies to see how effective they are :D
I've been watching for several years, but I've never been more jealous of you than right now. Getting a one on one with one of the Gracies is literally insane.
No it's not. There is nothing inherently special about the Gracies, but they've done a good job of mystifying themselves so that people put them on a pedestal, which just increases their net worth. The actual best coaches these days are not Gracies. Rener is a businessman far above all else. He's also a total scumbag with his "expert" witness testimony.
Well, if you have a spare $600 you can book a session, then you won't need to be jealous anymore 😂
I think I've watched nearly every Rener Gracie explainer video on RUclips, this is by FAR the most informative and exciting to watch video I've seen. Magnus killing the content recently!
Seriously, he’s PRing in entertainment!
he's the best one ever
Something tells me this guy's enthusiasm would transfer to anything he does. What a phenomenal teacher. Made me happy to watch.
It looked like he was on coke. He tryhard wanted to sell his family's product, which is effective only under bjj rules, or vs drunk people, and which is basically only judo newaza.
I shouldn't be surprised but man he was so articulate - and mix that with Magnus being a great learner.... top notch video.
He was really articulate in the courtroom too.
@@foehammer2127 what? what in the world are you referencing?
(edit: I looked it up, but he was just an expert witness, the lawsuit was not from or against him)
I think you can really see that magnus is an outstanding athlete. One part of him being a fast lerner is the amount of awarness he has for his body.
@@SpydersByte Foehammer loves to add some suspense
@@SpydersByte He did win the case while taking money and saying some questionable things.
I'm a BJJ Black belt and school owner, and I love Rener's enthusiasm for the sport, and I love seeing Magnus getting involved in it. I hope we get a future video of him in a standard class getting some rolls in. There are definitely some blue belts who are going to get ego checked by his grips.
Those ego checks are so important and humbling at the same time. It's good to be reminded those people exist, who can use their athleticism and awareness of their body to learn faster than you thought possible. Seems every BJJ school has that one naturally gifted high school athlete who starts getting taps with techniques they just learned at the start of class.
Bro why is every Josh I know a blackbelt (Full disclosure I only know two Josh's irl)
He’s an amazing teacher makes it look easy to learn from him.
I’m a CrossFitter and also survived against a Bjj black belt in my first class ! Infact i think we had a close “roll “ - I think they call it rolling ! Just goes to show how transferable / CrossFit and other sports are to BBJ ! Great content
It's so insane how dynamic and interactive his teaching actually is. Completely opposite to "we do this because that's how it's done". I don't do BJJ yet, but you can see why it exploded the way it did
Wow. What an incredible teacher and coach. Rener’s simplicity and clarity paired with his enthusiastic validation is truly inspiring. His corrections are so easy to take in.
Great collaboration with an awesome teacher. He brings so much positive energy and motivation. It makes you want to try it as well!
His passion is contagious :)
Do it, I’ve been doing it for a few months. This video was great!
Indeed, I felt the urge to try rock climbing... Rener was nice too :)
I am a purple
Belt. It’s taken 12yrs to get to that level. You are so privileged to have a lesson from this guy. It’s the most amazing martial art. This hip pressure was probably the hardest to master for me. When you’re rolling for real for it’s a hard thing to remember. Good man, Magnus.
12 years to purple? I’m a purple after 2 years? I think they promote a lot more quickly in the U.K.
@@genkisudo5999 yeah idk how you’d get purple in 2 years. Usually around 2 years per belt tbh
My coach told me it’s a old school myth that it should take 8-9 years to black belt. Just a way to get more money out of students. As long as you get the attendance card signed 2-3 a week there’s no reason to not be a black in 4 years. I’ll get my brown end of this year and hopefully black next year. The US is still a bit old school in its approach to grading
@@genkisudo5999well you’re likely going to be on a much lower level than the black belts who are taking years longer. Having it predetermined to get a belt nearly every year just for coming 2-3x a week, is likely not the best. It is natural for people to hit learning plateaus when there are certain techniques that they can’t quite get. The amount of time it takes to advance through belts is and should always be variable.
@ Big Mac again I think maybe the criteria is different depending on gym / country. If you train consistently you can earn your blue in 6 months on average. Purple in a year (I don’t train every day so was held back and achieved mine in 2). I have a background in CrossFit so I think 3-4 years to black is reasonable. Then I’ll look at moving onto coaching
The Gracie family it’s legendary here in Brazil, thank you for representing our beautiful country and our unique martial art created by them 🇧🇷
An absolutely sterling video, Magnus! Rener is not only one of the best and most experienced teachers, he is super nice and his enthusiasm is infectious. I've had so many hard-ass teachers in different martial arts I am glad to see there are people like Rener who really do invest themselves in their students. It's no wonder his academy get results. I love the way Rener moved from one basic concept to another, tying the techniques together in a logical and seamless progression - it's a great way to learn. Thanks for sharing your first BJJ lesson with us.
Rener is a great guy. Glad you got to train with him. Hope you continue on your BJJ journey!
I think this is possibly the best introduction to BJJ I've seen. I watch quite a lot of fighting-related videos and have seen and heard Rener many times but the way he ran through the basics here actually made me wonder if I should give it a go some time. Magnus is a great student and really seemed inspired by this so I’d love to see how good he gets if he continues training.
You should totally give it a go. I climbed for over 20 years and kinda got bored (also lived somewhere without real rock). Tried Brazilian jiu jitsu and it's been so much fun. Only thing I'd say is that you have to be okay with being really close to other people and getting crushed... a lot. The ego takes a bruising for sure but eventually you learn the techniques and then you're hooked on it.
the hardest belt to get is the white belt, find a gym and just try it fr
BJJ will change your life, trust me!
There’s no harm in giving it a go! And it could change your life
@@williamsmith8329 it’s actually the opposite tbh lol. When do you see guys walking around in rash guards and tight shorts? A Gi represents trousers and a jacket in street situations. No Gi is literally an adjustment made for MMA fighters who compete in nothing but shorts lol.
You gotta respect how much love he has for jujitsu. His grandfather would be proud.
Rener is not only an incredible instructor and person, he is just so kind, respectful, and most of all, HUMBLE! I believe he is the ultimate threat to bullies everywhere. YET, when he meets them, he treats them with grace and respect, and tries to teach them the WHY of what they are doing to others is so very WRONG! God bless you Rener.
Humble? Lol. One of the most aggressive sales guy I've ever seen. If you translate what he said, it is something like this: "GRACIE THE BEST, BJJ THE BEST, COME, PAY, BUY OUR BJJ, WHICH IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET, YOU DON'T NEED STRENGTH, SPEED, STAMINA, FLEXIBILITY, YOU ONLY NEED ME, MY FAMILY AND BJJ, AND YOU CAN BEAT ANYONE, LITTTERRRALLY ANYONE - ps: only under bjj rules or if you sneak up on someone from behind on a lawn..." They are selling Judo newaza as their own for many decades now. They used UFC to advertise their product, of course they had to adjust the UFC rules in the favor of their bjj to make it seem more effective, but whatever. Now they use big yt channels to sell "their" stuff.
@@HunGerMovies back in yer hole point dexter.
@@jasonmacneil2256 did not meant to hurt your bjj feelings, if you are tired after work, bjj class is a good place to chill on your back
As a climber and a BJJ practitioner this video is pure bliss ❤
Serendipitous! 😄🙌
cool profile picture
Same! Although frankly I'm doing very little climbing these days. Live somewhere very flat sadly. Did find my hands were getting ruined though doing both.
I love the energy of Rener so much. You can FEEL his love for Jiu Jitsu. He is so engaged and so good at explaining!
all I'm getting is a kind of salesman business evangelist energy.
It’s called Renergy
@@Bestmann3n Tbh I also felt like he was a good salesman for the martial art, I was a vaguely interested in BJJ before, but now I'm looking into getting some classes for it and joining a gym locally. You can tell he really wants to encourage more people to learn the martial art because of how passionate and excited he is for it.
He really wants to sell some BJJ, and you can tell that he loves making money and telling people that he has the answers.
@@Bestmann3n get out of the couch bro
this dude knows what he is doing AND he has the ability to teach it extremely well.
respect.
Been studying Jiu Jitsu for 34 years and spent 7 learning in Torrence, which is where my father grew up. My dad passed away in 1983 and I was born in 82. Learning Jiu jitsu has a lot more to do with your brain than your brawn.
I'm 6'6 and 285, but technique is the absolute main thing thats saved me from being hurt in serious fights during moments of trouble.
The positivity and enthusiasm and encouragement from Rener is amazing, what a phenomenal coach he is
This guy is born to teach. 100% passion for the sport and it shows.
What a freakily good teacher. Mind blowing
Been practicing for a few weeks now. Learned a lot just simply watching Rener talk you through. Awesome video!
i’ve done bjj for 15 years, the progress and learning of magnus in a short time is unreal! ofc having a gracie as a teacher is a massive leg up but still very impressive from magnus
Rener is such a hilarious charismatic personality. This was one of your most entertaining videos yet, and the mutual respect between masters of their craft was so wonderful to watch.
Rener is a brilliant teacher and his attention to detail is awesome. He knew to warn Magnus about his fingers without seeing them and knew every time he didn’t have the right grip.
This is a gifted instructor, amazing. Really a masterclass in energy, communication, skills and expertise
Magnus is like a GTA protagonist who finished main storyline and now he is vibing doing side quests
O M F G! Rener Gracie is amazing! His energy and calmness is amazing! Thank you for introducing not the magic of Jiu Jitsu but to an amazing teacher!
Renergy(tm)
"Calmness", you say? Are we talking same person? He's hyper af (at least verbally)! Almost too much for me :D
@@arcuscerebellumus8797 I would say his hyper verbal activity is to keep up with the pace of his action.
But otherwise I think his way to teach and explain things in such a short period of time (for each move) requires patience and to stay calm to understand how much the student is grasping.
I like to think you(we) feel he is hyper verbally because this was likely how advanced coaching goes as Magnus really isn't a beginner like most.
this guy learned more jiu jitsu in one day than I did in 3 months
this guy leared moe bjj in one day than i did in a year
Bro, you are so humble! The reason why you are the best at anything you do is because you allow your self to learn, you retain it and perfect it!
If any of you are thinking "maybe I should start jiu jitsu" I can never tell you how much your life will be better if you actually just do it. Still a white belt but 2 months into training me and everybody I know are already seeing the difference it makes into my confidence levels, happiness, clearer mind and obviously the fitness aspect of it all. Honestly can't see myself without it from this point on.
this!
it is super fun but one warning would be that if you are rolling constantly (3-5 days a week) you will end up always having some little ache or pain it's essentially unavoidable.
@@asdffsdafdsafdsa7877 Would you say that's because of pressure on joints from locks or something else?
@@97itachiuchiha so "rolling" means sparring and you're going hard so while doing techniques and black belts flowing makes it look soft and smooth when you're actually both trying to "win" and you're evenly skilled it's an incredibly strenuous activity and accidents / strains can happen. It's not from applying locks since you're rolling your gymmates / friends so you don't snap on joint locks, you don't try to apply them too hard etc. it's not a competition where you would intentionally break someone's arm, but just like in wrestling it's a very high pace physically demanding sport. Now you could do BJJ and never roll hard I suppose but you'd only be getting like 1/3rd of the experience. You could also try just rolling people way better than you which is also much safer. but when you are constantly rolling people of similar skill levels you just get aches and pains / small or large injuries.
I stepped on the mat for the First time in 2020.
Today i Work in my Gym and teach the Kids classes.
It completely Changes my Life for the better
These are two of my favourite RUclipsrs. Never imagined they'd come together for a session like this. Awesome!
This was super informative and a fun exchange. I finally showed up for my first class 5 weeks ago(May 2023.) So fun to see the ‘magic’ unfold. I really appreciated the observation that many come for the technique and get an amazing workout in the process. It’s fun to get submitted and slowly see how it is happening.
Rener is such a fantastic teacher! He makes you want to train jits 24/7
Bro this guys energy/charisma is bottomless lol. He's so stoked to be teaching jujitsu
Rener's charisma, enthusiasm, and and skill as a teacher are really on display here. Magnus, I really enjoyed seeing you get your first real exposure to BJJ this way. I hope to see more like this in the future! You have great body awareness from rock climbing so I'm sure you'll be a fast learner. The biggest challenge I see for you (other than finding the time to train) is learning to not rely on your strength, but to relax and conserve energy.
I took a few Gracie seminars at my dojo in Las Vegas, TIME WELL SPENT!!!
Great group of guys! so nice and humble! MAD RESPECT!
Rener's teaching skills are amazing. I'm 7 years into jiu jitsu and this is the best first class approach I've seen (by far).
Rener is a really good teacher. I've just started bjj and it's amazing that he makes bjj videos entertaining and knowledgeble! Glad you did collaborated with him Magnus!
Gracie seems to have a great teaching style that works extremely quickly for you Magnus. He seems to see and understand what you’re thinking and can point right to areas of improvement in a way that most are unable to do for you. I think it helps that he’s so passionate and wants that to come across in his interactions surrounding the art. Loved it!
obviously rener gracie is top teacher and is known as such.. but this is also what magnus does or did for a living, figuring out foot and body positions and type of grips to use in a very variable manner cause every climb is different. Thats why you tell him once or twice and he does it. if you think about it climbing is quite synonymous to grappling with rock walls
@@dco1019 how is this 5 hours old and i feel like i read the exactly same thing like a month ago? you wouldnt happen to have comment smth like this under some other videos :D ?
@@kliersheed its probably just a great comment I made 🙂 and it send you in deja vu. ... seriously though, the comment seems a bit too specific and while I could've said the same under a similar video this is (to my recollection) the first 'climber does bjj' vid ive seen...
Bjj is the manliest cuddle session youll ever get lmao
Could listen to this man explain this art all day, So clear and easy to understand 😌
This is definitely the best video I have ever seen. Started MMA half a year ago, and this makes so much sense to me now. Thank you
I am Brazilian. My country has many sorrows, many things we are not proud of. But it is an island of comfort to know that it was here that current Jiu-Jitsu was developed and launched into the world. It even brings me a breath of hope in the ability of Brazilians to overcome their problems with technique and skill.
Ronaldinho!
Capoeira looks cool too bro
from japan was the og idea from right?
@@Hi-tx3jg ya.....as he said his grandpa and grand uncle brought it from there and modified it to be less abt power and to help tiny over larger people
@@tejaspn6836 "Japanese Jiu-Jitsu (practiced as Judo) was introduced to the Gracie family in Brazil around 1914 by Esai Maeda, who was also known as Conde Koma."
I found you from Jujis channel a few years ago, and boy am I grateful! I started climbing 2 years ago and lost almost 15kg because of your channel. I love how ambitious you are, exploring so many ways to be athletic. Keep going 💪
Good job! i did the same! but i started out as a stick, gained 20kg in muscle! :D during covid i created my own climbing wall(s) and ceiling in my basement full on ghetto style! but i absolutely love it ^^ keep going! oh and keep me updated! seeya on the next vid :P
It sounds like Rener is having so much fun, this kind of energy is contagious! I`ve been trainning Bjj for some time now but I have yet find a teacher with so much hype and passion for their craft like him, it must be awesome to train like that!
I love how this guy teaches. He talks about reality and tells you do what you would using max strength in this situation. Great teacher.
I would LOVE to see you continue this journey. showing how fast a specialist in one field can progress as a beginner in a new one 🙏🏼
Imagine Magnus' grip strength on your wrists or ankles 😳
I second this
I've always considered BJJ and climbing to have transferable skills and theme's but this video really brings it home. The importance of subtle body positioning, intelligent energy maintenance and trying to 'out-think' the problem in front of you - in climbing its the wall; in BJJ its the opponent. Great watch!
Just watching Rener Gracie get's me hyped up! Great teacher, humble, kind and excited to teach their methods! If I had a teacher like this, I'd be excited to work out every single day.
I really like Rener''s energy. So friendly and enthusiastic! Great video, Jiu Jitsu is brutally efficient 🙂 But Magnus, you are still a beast!
As someone that used to be a BJJ/Judo guy and began climbing 4 years ago because of your videos, this was a delight to watch. Feels like all my interests are combined in a single video.
I know neither sport, but I giggled, when the BJJ guy Rener comically said he's going to outlast the climbing doing a monkey under hanging feat! The two things you shouldn't attempt: to outlast, first, a monkey and then to outlast, second, an elite climber like Magnus.
Monkeys evolved to have overwhelming arm strength (with respect to body weight ratio) and elite climbers have conditioned their fingers, hands, and arms (from skin toughness to muscle strength to joint fibre & bone development) --- over years and decades of hanging by arms and fingers --- to do things (such as grabbing onto things tightly & holding for literally his life) that no untrained human could compete with.
Love all the hard work you put into videos to make them different and entertaining every time
Agreed
frrr i agree
Agree
fr best comment ive ever seen
this guy deserves a grammy
Very enjoyable video and great to see some Jiu Jitsu basics taught by such a brilliant teacher - Rener's enthusiasm and energy is great! Would be really interesting to see him in the role of a student taking a climbing lesson... think that would be a popular video...
Ill never forget my first class. Very humbling experience being a big guy with martial arts training and body building i figured i had just enough to put up a good fight or win. I was 6ft 200lbs and a guy like 5'5 150lbs did whatever he wanted. Very humbling and just the basics like this puts you ahead of most people and for me has been very useful a couple times in the streets
Rener Gracie is hands down the best martial arts instructor I've ever seen. He makes it so realistic (for example, teaching Magnus to turn his face away so that he doesn't get eye gouged), and does a great job of explaining the reasoning behind each technique, whilst simultaneously being very friendly and encouraging.
Literally makes me want to go and find a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu school immediately lol
I absolutely LOVED Rener's teaching style. He's not only a great practitioner, but his passion for teaching and evangelizing BJJ is contagious!
Appreciating how good a teacher Rener is, and how good a listener Magnus is
I love your channel. This is awesome. You have a very specific skill set with climbing, but you translate it to all sorts of things. Very entertaining.
crazy how pumped you get watching someone like him teaching his passion, don't really know how to put it, but really how he walks the line between being a complete maniac about his art and still thinking about the other one's experience is so beautiful and inspiring 😅😍
Godamn got a good laugh from this, completely agree with ya
Holy shit, Rener is an amazing instructor.
Rener is the best sales guy you'll ever see. That's what makes him teach so well...
whole gracies is a sales family, selling judo newaza as bjj, then trying to convince you it is good for every situation and peoplel in the world
@@HunGerMoviesit’s is by far the most effective discipline for real-world fighting once the fight hits the ground.
Combined with boxing or muay-Thai you are a complete fighter
@@justinrose5515 bjj (judo newaza) guys cannot take people to the ground, and I have never seen a street fight going to the ground... once someone is on the ground, the fight is usually over or just there is a break, noone would ever want to go to the ground in a street fight, if you are muay thai fighter, you will never need bjj in street fight... the only time I saw bjj guys going to the ground in street fight was vs drunk people or junkies and they attacked them from behind unexpectedly, in a face to face fight bjj sucks ass. Judo, plus Muay thai, then you are complete fighter, you can strike, block strikes, you are not surprised if you take 1-2 punches or kicks, and you have the balance of a judoka, you can stand your ground and if the opponent starts grabbing you, you can easily take him down in dozens of ways, with you landing on the top all the time. You will have also all the submission techniques a bjj guy has if needed.
The energy of this guy is super contagious. Great teacher!
Imagine having a teacher like Rener for everything you are willing to learn in your life
Yeah that's a good point. Magnus is building a bit of Joe Rogan rolodex. He can just call up people and have good odds of a meeting.
Rener Gracie is really an amazing teacher and this is such an interesting video and change of pace.
now i wanna see Rener Gracie try rock climbing
His energy is infectious! Loved the video
I started BJJ about 6 weeks ago. As a complete beginner I gotta hand it to Magnus, he really catches onto things quick, and it helps that coach Rener is just an incredible teacher, really brings out the best in Magnus' physical attributes! After 6 weeks I know about 6 techniques fairly well lol, but my body seems to be adapting more and more each time.
Rener is such an amazing human. You can tell that he has almost no ego and is just truly passionate for what he's doing. That's a role model for sure.
absolutely, i am moved emotionally by his selflessness, humility and generosity in teaching. This is a man of legendary character. A huge reflection of the art of Ju Jitsu.
Don't get me wrong I agree he is great, and I know he was joking, but he was pretty sure of himself before he got demolished by Magnus in the hang challenge
he was obviously kidding lmao@@Hopefully2025
@@Hopefully2025
You can be competitive without being egotistical or arrogant. There is a huge difference.
Rener? No ego? That’s a good one lmfao. If you do jiu jitsu you know
As someone who hasn't done Jiu Jitsu and haven't been that interested in this type of thing. This has sparked a huge interest. I loved this video
This is one of your best video, Magnus. You and Renner were a great pair to watch!
hes so passionate about his craft, like GENUINELY feels joy teaching magnus & i love that
This video is a perfect example as to why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu should be trained. I only have done Boxing, but now I wanna learn BJJ too Rener Gracie an excellent coach and clearly is passionate about what his family has created.
learning bjj along with other martial arts opens up so many possibilities! and although you won’t find someone as extreme an example as rener gracie in every gym the people who do jiujitsu are generally welcoming and friendly in my experience!
@@darthstrukt i also started at 4 and did jiujitsu, wrestling and kickboxing mainly. now am a 19 year old girl and have never come across issues despite being on the smaller side. very useful.
As a BJJ fighter, I absolutely love this! Rener has so much passion for the art.
@@Specialistkay Dude everything that involves getting money is about business, obviously he's gonna say his gym is the best because he wants money. We all do, just because he's passionate doesn't mean he's doing it for money lmao, but I mean you can't trust all BJJ schools, some are definitely unsafe, and when to comes to safety in BJJ, it's definitely number 1 priority.
Fighter? I did know there were bjj fighters, I thought bjj was a sport and MMA was fighting 😳
@Colby Price-Lampkin did he say that? If he did he's absolutely wrong because jiu-jitsu comes in many forms and not exclusive to the gracies or any one else; that's a bold statement he made if he really did make such remarks. Another thing, you can attend many other schools of jiu-jitsu that's not bjj or gracie inspired. To be honest with you, one can take up judo which a lot les ls money and more realistic
@@markdaniels4178 perspectives. But when I am at the gym being choked I would call it a fight 😂 but I have no problem with people seeing it as a sport.
@@RubenMaciel ok ! 👍 good response
Rener Gracie energy is awesome. His teaching skills are next level. I am happy to say that, i have subscribed for Gracie combatives training. Happy learning
Rener Gracie has some of the greatest energy whilst teaching! so much positivity! i love this
Literally the best instruction of BJJ I have seen. I never really understood what was happening with the leverages and the hooks and all that just watching the UFC or whatever. Really interesting to watch.
It's incredible, how Rener manages to explain things that understandable in such a fast pace. Love this Guy!
Amazing video and an amazing teacher. This video had me smiling all the way through, absolutely great.
He is actually teaching it really nicely ❤
