It's actually crazy to see what terrible sportsmanship some of these top guys display when they lose... wow. Hats off to Mikey for always being a true competitor and role model. What an inspiration!
The sport is still relatively young for the mainstream - thus, as the new age BJJ athletes enter the ranks, the old guard gets upset at their loss of grip of power/significance. In a few years the sportsmanship will be much better at the top as it settles into its new normal of athlete.
I.d have been told that the first thing getting online, the next time someone tells you.
I.d think about this guy and how it happened they’re going through the whole world 🌍.
I.d think you should go back and look for the same person who has the most beautiful 😻
As a mathematician who practices jiu-jitsu, I felt so connected to this guy from the first minute of the video. There is truly something very schematic and logic in this sport, there is always a problem to solve.
Using Set theory and abstract algebra to make algorithms that you program your subconscious with is the way to go or at least how I've done it but sometimes entering,"the state ", will simplify the math in an artistic way that's so beautiful and elegant it could be considered hacking jujitsu
@@Tlilohcwtf does this even mean?
Can you imagine being a random white belt at CTA getting strangled by a cross collar choke for the 5th time that day, and you look over and Caio and Mikey are doing like high level BJJ calculus as they roll by you.
Unfortunately you wouldn't see that any longer - they ended their "partnership" shortly after this video was released.
@@steveluck3825always same stories...
me at CTA rn LMFAO
@@steveluck3825why?
Yes I can imagine it because I was that white belt 7 months ago. Caio is a genius. Always amazed training at HQ
What a great guy, a true inspiration. Being humble like that is just pure love.
20 minutes in Mikey talking about tapping into his subconscious to perform better with better timing. Straight up going ultra instinct when he fights. Absolute legend, love watching and trying to study his game
Mikey is by far one of the greatest jiu jitsu players of all time, in my opinion, not just because of his game, but his personality is definitely genuine.
I'm around the same size as Mikey and just started jiu-jitsu this year it's inspiring to see him dominate bigger guys and not get smushed like me
Same happened to me and I have a heavy wrestling background which helped alot but in time you'll be smashing dudes...I'm 5 foot 6 145 and it was offensive when bigger guys were like I'm not rolling with him he's small. It was super annoying man and now the same guys won't even roll with me at all. Granted I don't have the best gym...been to much better. Lookong into opening one myself.
stay off your back and move around alot. lol
I was 6'2 250 in shape, I could bust out 25 pull ups unbroken and was ripped when I started rolling man I was a real hot shot but having my purple belt friend Kong (5'2 and a little pudgy) laughing at my try hard ass thinking I could muscle him is what kept me in jiu-jitsu. He had me at will in any position. I realized soon after he always laughed while rolling, he was just always having so much fun but I will forever remember the amount of big guys that would come and go from ego burn.
@@noahziegler3478see I was a 6'2 210 ripped looking jock like yourself when I started ,except Im a Magic the Gathering super geek like Mikey and just sponged the Kinetic Chess that is Jujutsu¡ I remember that l👀k in all the purple and blue belts eyes ,after I took the legs,arms, ankles, knees and necks of the 4blues and 2purps at the gym¡
🤓🤼🥋💯
RESPECT from a fellow little guy!! 37 year old, 125-145lb 5’6” purple belt here, trying to survive in a land of young giants, and choke a few of them ❤
shut up before I ankle pick you......
Leg locks are my go to for people over 6’0 in Sweden.
I am 5’8.
Americana is barely useable for me but kimura can be used for all kinds of stuff.
I love it.
I’m mainly a no gi guy so I have trained most leg locks in my 2.5y time.
Recently started with heel hooks, my purple belt friend is teaching me.
Hoping for a similar documentary about Ffion Davies. In my oppinion she and Mikey are the most underrated figures of todays jui jitsu. They should be honorary awarded as ambassadors of the sport. Both very hard working and technical and great persons to have around you. And not Brazilians which is also showing the international progress of BJJ.Great examples that the upcoming generation should watch and follow. The only thing is missing from the picture is Mikey winning ADCC. Hope he plans it for the future since its the greatest prestige in nogi grappling (if his ONE FC contract allows it )
Yes!! I want to see Fionne’s weight training as well! It was cool to see Dante’s
I love how he is so humble respectful with so much love and passion this man is truly amazing!! Go get ‘em’ champ you rock dude!!!
Mikey is great man. We love Mikey in Brazil, great Jiu Jitsu and a determined guy!
Love to see flo step up there production game.
Everything was better, camera work, audio, song choices, proper voice voice over, great b-roll
And of course Mikey is a beast!!! Keep these coming Flo
Yeah, really amazin production, storytelling and music. Kudos!
Nobody has influenced me more in jiu jitsu than Mikey. I'm only 130 pounds and watching him dominate the way he does is inspiring he's one of the best ever
I am 230 pounds and 6.4 tall but still inspire me. What a great guy.
For real. I'm about 125 lbs and so often find myself eating once a day. I've tried making myself eat more throughout the day to gain weight the way 'they' say I need to. I also figured I 'need' to gain weight to be healthy and all that. Maybe I am 'normal' after all 😂 It works for Mikey
@@namechange9470 I been trying to gain weight all my life. I always seemed to burn it off. lol.
Caio is a living legend. One of my GOATs for sure.
What an incredible athlete and human being.
This kid is a coaches dream. I have coached for 24 years and Mikey is a one in a million kind of kid with the absolute best manners. What an amazing athlete!
At 60 I realize I was like him and still am. He is an inspiration, even to us older grapplers.
What a fascinating young fella he is. Such drive and dedication to BJJ he is an absolute Phenom if ever there were such a thing!
This was really great work and I have even more respect for Mikey. He is a special human, on another level.
Amaaaaaaazing footage captured here. I love to see these documentaries from Flo!!!!!!!
This guy is awesome. And his faith. This gentleman is already a winner. But I wish his everything the world has to offer. God bless u Mikey!!!
The way he talks about the subconscious is so spot on!! Never heard anyone talk about it before but it makes so much sense!!!
Man this dude is something special. From his quirks to his bjj to his composure and dedication. One of a kind in a sport that has so many high level competitors. I don't even say hi when I see celebrities (seen more than a few over the years) but i'd 100% ask for a picture with Mikey
Thank GOD you didn’t quite !…Who couldn’t love this guy !…Congrats on everything you’ve accomplished !
I could watch him all day😍🥰
"GOD IS WITH ME AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS" Mikey Musumeci.... Great Job brother
Mikey is incredible, props to Caio Terra too, and what a beautiful relationship he has with his sister
What an awesome guy gotta love him after seeing this
Mental perfectionism. Even though I stopped rolling many years ago-inspired to use same excitement in all aspects of my life. 🙏🙇🏻♂️
What a beautiful treatise to the genius, Mikey Musumeci! 🙌🏿🙌🏿
The purest person I’ve seen ❤ He’s obviously on the spectrum and that somehow might be his strongest quality.
What what?😅
Asperger’s …
@@flexmose4170 he’a obviously on the autism spectrum 😂 that’s not even a question but he got the good part of it where can he superfocus on what makes him happy and it’s amazing to see. No PR bullshit, no drama, no shit talking just a pure love of the sport.
How can you not love Mikey!? Great guy, amazing bjj wizard.
Much love and respect!❤
What a wholesome legend.
Frompurple to black in 3 year's
While competing at that level, as a damb kid.
He actually has a problem, he cannot stop, and im glad it has really worked out for him.
He is a beast
I will never stop loving how jiu jitsu allows nerds to literally weaponize their nerdiness.
21:03 "You have to train your mind in the conscious to get to the sub-conscious." Mikey is talking about achieving flow through repetition and then accessing the precise timing of execution by eliminating micro-momentary hesitations - distractions - which come from the sense-of-self (which resides in the frontal lobes). In those final seconds of the semi-final in 2017, he falls behind his opponent, hears his team cheering in the background, and that's when his true focus kicks, his frontal lobes go quiet, and flow takes full, unhindered control of his technique. I like this guy, he seems very genuine.
I watched that match against Bruno live in Long Beach in 2019. I stayed up all night for my brother's bachelor party in san diego and then took a 5 am bus to long beach. Tickets were only like 20 bucks. Amazing experience!
Love this kid...
loved the Barry Lyndon strumming
Omg his sister too!!! Amazing job Tammi you go girl!!!!!!
Love this guy!
He is a Kind guy, deserves all the best.
Mikey is such a nice guy but lethal at the same time. What a cool guy.
My man will cook his own personal pizza and then immediately kick your ass.
No he wouldn’t.
He would kick your ass then make his own pizza.
He’d kick your ass and then offer you some pizza
Great video, Mikey is definitely one of my favorites.
I love that you used The Moldau in the score!!!
hell of a lovely fellow, Mr Musumeci
Despite only now hearing about it for the first time, it broke my heart to see people booing Mikey at 2017 Worlds that way, especially given how sensitive he is. I mean, he's EXACTLY the kid you want showing up to take your daughter to the senior prom or something.
Imagine that a bunch of non Americans booing cuz they lost. Thats why theyre in the stand and not on the mats. Losers
I disagree. I don't have a daughter but I have nieces and my twin brothers daughter is as much my daughter as my boys are my boys. I don't want my niece going to prom with ANY GUY!
Weirdo@@MidgetPunter
@@MidgetPuntersounds creepy
He is “special” without a doubt. Just like these kids with a piano or violin or mathematics……this kid happens to grapple! Amazing young man for sure!
The most lethsl nerd in the wotld. Respect!
Wow, I was literally in tear when CT was talking to him at 38:32.
Jersey strong!! Mikey is awesome and inspiring to watch. Technique above all.....
Notice that he specifically states that he meditates and visualizes himself doing these techniques. you must imagine how it feel to be smashed in that position, the lack of air, the slimy skin, the forced slow breathing, the mat on your face, the hair in your mouth.... imagine every little thing in the experience and make it real. Then do the move in your imagination and keep repenting to the end. Its insane how well this works
That arm bar to berimbolo 26:00 is pure magic.
❤ great video thanks
This was cool if a little untimely. Almost five years old, and Mikey has been killing it in One Championship the past couple years. If you're reading this and you haven't seen Mikey against Imanari, RUclips that match and watch how much better he was between this and then.
Great doc on Mikey! So talented and inspiring.
He is the future ❤
Big ups! 👍🏼
Grats on all the hard work
This deserves wayyy moree likes than 1.3 k 😮😮😮🤯😳😳😂🤦🏽♂️
Most inspiring. All of us on the lighter side believe in the power of technique and mind over matter. Thanks For the great production
damn thats good, thanks for this video
sooo damn good mikey
I love your heart Mikey!
Mikey for president!!!
What a beautiful story . Well done.
Lol flo grappling putting the time stamp at the beginning to prove the flo grappling curse doesn’t exist 😂😂😂
GOAT
Caio is a Perfect coach for Mikey! 🙏🏽
Loved it! Mikey is the man!
I respect the lad. Seems like a cool dude.
9:18 the shock in his face is like "How could you do this"? 😅
Mikey for lifey
FLO makes the best jiu jitsu videos ever...
I love seeing someone be successful in their passions through hard work , dedication , sacrifice , love and God. No matter the passion it is. Being a bjj practitioner my self, this is even more inspirational. Much love 🙏🏻
Great documentary. I love it
Man who did the music for this! Incredible
people booing this genius are ignorant about the sport
Pure Gold
Amaz8ng athlete. He has a heart.but , a crystal generation's one
lol, the guy who yelled "GET OFF THE MAT" around 38:00, lol.
Mushin
Mushin in Japanese, is a mental state. Zen and Daoist meditators attempt to reach this state, as well as artists and trained martial artists, Mikey has it
Excelente maiki musumeci com gratulations jiu-jitsu beri bolo sensacional Magic jiu-jitsu
This kid is amazing ! Would love to watch him in person one day!
20:30 he's describing ultra instinct 😂😂
From watching this the main thing I pick up is the pivotal role his sister plays in his success. Awesome he's had her in his corner to drill with and for support, great to see such a bond between a brother and sister.
Awesome!!
Man no 1% of EGO BULLSHIT! I love them both Caio also what amazing guys!
Nerdy High school pizza delivery kid. And he DELIVERS and loves his Pizza and pasta
At the end of the day, to be the best, you have to love it and be obsessed. Is the lesson learned for anything in life
... I was dead, but I came back today and I fought 🤓. His energy is awesome.
amazing.
He's also like the most humble and respectful competitor EVER. Yet all the Brazilian competitors hate on him simply because he wins. Can you even imagine what that feels like for him. He literally invests his entire life into a sport centered around brazil. Is so amazing at it that he beats all the Brazilians, and then they $hit on him for it. Straight up, BRZ can piss of with that $hit. Give it ten more years and no one is going to care at all about Brazil because the Americans are going to win everything.
Needed showing holds and maneuvers longer and in detail. Nice production except for those weaknesses.
Very good
Beautiful Human being that Mikey is
As an autistic dude, I'm watching this wandering if Mikey is autistic too. A few things jump out, his unique way of problem solving and the way he conveys it. The fact that he gets obsessed with getting it right, totally immersed in what he is doing looks like what would occur with a special interest. His confusion with regards to getting booed and him declaring he's not social, is also interesting. When I boxed it's was a similar thing, I watched hour upon hour of tape, then went back to the gym to see what did and didn't work for my body type. I always described it as high stakes chess, for me it was never about being tough, it was out-thinking the opponent. Just a few observations regarding Mikey.
Interesting.. I've observed him to certainly be socially awkward/anxious in his interactions with people at times. I can definitely relate to that. He is most definitely a unique individual.
..."it was never about being tough. It was out- thinking the opponent. " Thank you.
Not everything’s about you
@@user-qu8hs9bc2h what? I was just curious. Don't be a dickhead!
Asperger’s
cant wait to see mikeys bjj in 10 years
Mikey is inspirational.I look back at myself and wonder why I stopped training in my teens and even though Mikey is going through alot of personal issues, he is focused on his craft and it saves him everyday. May he become the world's greatest and I hope to see him grapplle live one day.
I'm just commenting for the algorithm.
I was a green belt black stripe as a teen while being a 3× Blackbelt in both Karate and Tae Kwon Do. Won nationals 3× and states. Went to MMA and fought for the Army. I really want to get back into Judo and Jiu Jitsu. Going to be funny being a white belt again but im sure I'll be okay
😅😂
Amazing film guys!
I have had Mikey as my GOAT for 2 years now. Respect to Gordon Ryan but Mikey is just magical.
