Hey this is the blue belt you rolled with last night. The young black guy. You recommended this video to me. Just wanted to say thanks. I will study and add this to my game.
@@sgloobal3091 ayyy dope! Yea man your closed guard is good but you can definitely level it up by adding some Roger Gracie in your life lol. thanks for watching
yes! roger's videos have changed my game entirely. i think too many black belts start teaching and focus on attacking from positions and forget to talk about retention. Roger almost always talks about control. controlling mount, controlling closed guard, controlling side control, controlling back. that's why his style seems so "simple"
What you called the imanari roll is actually commonly called the star sweep. It’s essentially a scoop grip on the leg followed by the back roll from closed guard when they stand.
👍 It‘s also being discussed in Renzo‘s old books on BJJ (co-authored by, of course, John Danaher). One of those things we learn in the first days and forget - and then rediscover when we’re too old to invert 😅
@@DeepDiveJJ keep at it. Takes a long time to be truly proficient at it. It, along with Butterfly Guard, is the MOST DIFFICULT guard to master. But when you do it’s money.
I’ve been waiting for this video 🙏 thank you ! I started studying Roger’s closed guard in depth recently and also got the instructional (my very first) and I’m simply amazed at the mastery I’m witnessing.
Been waiting for this study to drop! Especially since I've adopted closed guard as my bread and butter and building a system of attacks is what I'm currently working on. Plus I'm around the same size at 6"4" but 50 lbs heavier than Roger lol PURE GOLD! Thank you!
When he underhooks the leg for the muscle sweep at the end there, Jacare steps out. And while his foot is still in the air, Roger does a knee pull to chest to pull him down. I never noticed that combo before or thought about it. But that seems pretty strong.
As always, another great breakdown. 🏆 Thank you for this. I've been on my closed-guard groove!! Awesome to learn the closed guard study from someone no other than Roger Gracie 🐐!! Can't wait for more videos
amazing video thank you! do you have any examples of a Roger Gracie student in the5 10" range with success in the closed guard? I am constantly watching Roger and would love to know if it works as well for someone my size
what happen whit short people that can´t even close the guard? (170 cm 65 i.e) Roger is a big guy so for him is easy to close guard but for shorter guys closing guard becomes an issue
Yea Roger himself says that taller people definitely have the advantage when it comes to playing closed guard and that you only need to be as tall as your opponent for it to be easy enough to use. If its that difficult for you, than maybe a half guard or butterfly type of game might make more sense
No, he competed in the 99 kg weight class. Which is about 218 pounds. His walk around weight is 215 meaning he did not cut any weight to fight in this category like a lot of other guys did. Yes, he is much taller than many guys. He faced, but typically, he weighed the same if not less. The highlights you see of roger facing much smaller opponents is from absolute category matches where everyone willingly competes without weight categories. In this set up he would often fight smaller opponents, but also face the ultra heavyweight category above his for example his match with Fabricio werdum adcc absolute 2005. He choked him btw…
learnt a berimblo earlier this week from the assistant jiu jitsu coach, jiu jitsu coach tells me to try it when i roll with a higher belt, my white belt dumb ass thinks hes being genuine so i try to berimbolo a high blue belt and get embarassed, he told me to come back next class and drill better basic guards before trying something like that (belts are an estimation because i do no gi, my fellow training partner for this story very may well be purple equivalent he has many years of experience but i think high blue is good)
Roger and Gordon show that being a big, strong person is a huge advantage. Technique + size /strength is unstoppable. I know this is obvious but some people still think technique is king. It’s still a sport!
The closed guard is an inherently unathletic position and weve seen from mma that its a stalling position at best. Maybe the gi would help, but even in bjj once they learn to post on the biceps good luck using it in an absolute division
Jiu-Jitsu is not a good martial art it's basically just a wrestling with joint manipulation it is good to know because you need to know that when you go to the ground but like UFC was first created to promote Jiu-Jitsu to try to make it a mainstream martial art but as we can see nowadays well-rounded Fighters yes they know Jujitsu but it ain't used that much it is wrestling with joint manipulation it is nothing fancy never has been never will be
Bjj and japanes jj are very different... Japan's focus on tradition made Jiu-Jitsu stale because it had very littke techniques, it even branched out into judo to make it a sport. Brazilians took it to another level by being open to new moves and that is what made it great. And since the origins of jiu jitsu are from budist monks in india, you could say that japanese people also stole...😅
@@adybalanolomete And the Filipino's took it even further than the Brasilians but even THEY don't claim to have "invented" anything. We'll have to agree to disagree since I've seen and learned all 3 while you didn't mention Filipino Dumag
@@teofeo333the name brazilian jiu jitsu by it’s nature implies that it’s a brazilian branch of jiujitsu, why all the fuss? Did people in Okinawa tried to call karate japanese kung fu? No nor i believe they had any obligation to do so just because there’s a shared heritage in its conception
@@adybalanolomete Yes and no. You probably aren't aware it exists, but I practice Filipino JuJitsu which includes stand up grappling and joint locks in addition to the traditional ground. We also practice the same moves using weapons for additional pain compliance and life removal. BJJ does not lol

💯 Gotta learn to control and retain before attacking
Your like the Less Impressed, More Involved of the Gi. This channel is gold. Keep uploading more videos!!!
Glad you liked it! Stay tuned for more :)

Interesting 🤔 I didnt know that
@@DeepDiveJJ I first learned it on the OG Pedro Sauer blue to purple instructional
Yesss star sweep 😃

Really nice video. Been a long time closed guard player, and Roger is my idol. Nice to see someone break things down in a simple, elegant way.
Thanks for the kind words! Learning to really like closed guard myself.
@@DeepDiveJJ keep at it. Takes a long time to be truly proficient at it. It, along with Butterfly Guard, is the MOST DIFFICULT guard to master. But when you do it’s money.
Bro already looking forward to this! 🥋👌🏾❤️
Ayy 🙌
Roger Gracie = 🐐
💯 frfr
@@DeepDiveJJ love your breakdowns brother keep them coming 💯🙏
@@hasbullamagomedov4432 more to come! Thanks for watching 😃
I agree with you
Isn’t Gordon Ryan the goat?
Well done. Roger Gracie is an absolute technician. Great video
In the last clip he also says “people mistake basic for easy” which I thought was cool.
Yea I thought it was really cool as well to hear his insight on that. He elaborates a bit more on it the full original video
I’ve been waiting for this video 🙏 thank you !
I started studying Roger’s closed guard in depth recently and also got the instructional (my very first) and I’m simply amazed at the mastery I’m witnessing.
Hope it helps a bit in your quest of studying closed guard! Definitely going to be doing more on Roger in the future
ive had a subscription to his online site.
this is an excellent summary of his closed guard
Thanks for watching! Would you recommend his website over all the others that are out there?
Awesome video! Love the edits and input. Thank you bro 🙌🏽
Thank you bro 🙏🙇♂️
Great video! I just started training BJJ 5 months ago and I have been trying the techniques by Roger. This video was a big help! Thank you, oss!
I love closed guard, got Rodger’s and many others on closed guard
Been waiting for this study to drop! Especially since I've adopted closed guard as my bread and butter and building a system of attacks is what I'm currently working on. Plus I'm around the same size at 6"4" but 50 lbs heavier than Roger lol PURE GOLD! Thank you!
Oh man im sure people HATE being inside you closed guard lol you have the perfect size for it
phenomenal video. great breakdown, great in depth and understanding.
Oss! Thank you for the comment!
Great work, this is gold!
Thanks for watching!!
A true master of his craft.
Great video. Many of these details I was taught in my first two years and have seemed to neglect. Thank you
Great job on the break down keep these studies coming!!
Ayyy thanks! more on the way!!
Amazing video! Really enjoyed and got something out of this. Thank you!

Amazing video study on the 🐐!
osss!!!
Such a great clip,
And great details well done
Appreciate it 😂 Thanks for watching!!
Solid video. My bottom game is ass, so I def gotta work on it. This was interesting 👍🏻
lol thanks for watching. Never to late to work on that guard 🙌
When he underhooks the leg for the muscle sweep at the end there, Jacare steps out. And while his foot is still in the air, Roger does a knee pull to chest to pull him down. I never noticed that combo before or thought about it. But that seems pretty strong.
Didnt really notice that little nuance. I had just seen it as Jacare abandoning ship as to not get swept. I'm gonna watch it back 🤔
I think Jacare also smashed Roger on his back there if I’m not mistaken, is this why Roger complains and jacare goes “no no”?
@@Leopar525 yea i think Roger was definitely like "ref, wheres the DQ?"
As always, another great breakdown. 🏆 Thank you for this. I've been on my closed-guard groove!! Awesome to learn the closed guard study from someone no other than Roger Gracie 🐐!! Can't wait for more videos
Haha thanks for watching!! More to come!
My guy, thank you for this video. Closed guard is something I want to perfect and have a purple belt closed guard as a blue belt
Keep it going 🙌

Good job

Then play open or half. I'm big but a very obese guy I won't be able to wrap my legs so you need an open Guard for that
You might want to emulate Marcelo Garcia; his x-guard/ butterfly guard game might work well for you.
keep the gi alive!
Im with you 💯
Golden time of BJJ where there were no PED, TRT or steroids. Pure skills and techniques.
Seriously asking, you think there wasn't much steroid use back then? I really wonder
@@DeepDiveJJ everyone has always done peds my bro
@@andrewtregoning Yea thats what I believe as well
Ryan vs. gracie would be the greatest match of all time.
🙌
The big elephant in the room is that Roger had the size and attribute advantage in all of his matches
No, he competed in the 99 kg weight class. Which is about 218 pounds. His walk around weight is 215 meaning he did not cut any weight to fight in this category like a lot of other guys did. Yes, he is much taller than many guys. He faced, but typically, he weighed the same if not less.

1:53 getting that look from Roger is probably enough to shit one’s pants 🤣
😂
yeah im 5'5 and all these techniques work just perfectly, size and athleticism has absolutely nothing to do with it at all lol
Yea it can be tough to use closed guard as a shorter person
Jacare didnt continue, he ran away the whole time after that. It was a shame in my opinion, but for him it was a win... 🤷♂
That’s true honestly. Don’t know how he wasn’t given a bunch of penalties
Roger Gracie = the real g.o.a.t.
💯
Roger and Gordon show that being a big, strong person is a huge advantage. Technique + size /strength is unstoppable. I know this is obvious but some people still think technique is king. It’s still a sport!
