I do truly love and appreciate Rafael's thoroughly detailed explanation of the technique. Then again, I expect no less from one of the best. Thank you very much, Professor Rafa!
I learned this as a white belt a few years back from this video and hit it on so many purples, browns and blacks with old school games that hadn’t adapted to this kind of game. Still in my A game!!!
Man I’m so glad I got to watch this without needing to rewind over and over to get the details. You are truly awesome professor. Can’t wait to start drilling it the way you showed
Excellent step-by-step deconstruction of the berimbolo. The emphasis on the smaller details and repetition really helps convey how to properly execute the move.
I watched this video and I did in the academy and I got. I take the back of a purple belt (I am blue). Perfect! Rafa Mendes is the best. Thank you Mendes bros to share this video in the youtube, you are helping me so much. I'm brazilian, but one day I want to train in Costa Mesa, CA. Thank you!
Cara, sério…Vc é foda! Publicado em 2012 e até hoje não há melhor explicação! Praticamente um mini-seminário para os iniciantes do berimbolo! Parabéns e tu tens minha total admiração. Muito obrigado! :)
Love this move, it has amplified my game exponentially. I also like to utilize the reverse berimbolo. Mendes bros, please return to H20 MMA in Montreal! When you first came, I was a white belt of only three months and did not have a full comprehension on the techniques you showed us. I'm a blue belt now and would absorb your teachings more proficiently.
@Oleksandr Karpenko, De La Riva is an open guard technique, similar to X guard, spider guard, butterfly guard, etc. Berimbolo is essentially an inverted roll that can be used to sweep. The berimbolo sweep is most commonly used from the 50-50 position or from De La Riva.
I do, thanks. My question was more of a general one, but I will say that in high level competition, you see much more of the berimbolo in the lighter weight classes: Rodolfo and Buchecha aren't really known for it, for example.
@TommyDaGun589 Thanks. I was speaking more in terms of the general stuff on their website, though, and whether it's very broad, so that no matter what your game - flexibility, pressure - there's plenty for you.
Defending strikes is not a concern in IBJJF tournaments. Love it or hate it they are using it to win in their sport. If you want to go do MMA because you think that rule set is more "realistic" then thats your choice but know anyone could make the same argument about rules in MMA... as in 5 Minute Rounds... Yea thats realistic. Stand ups. weight classes, No kicks to a downed opponent. How about wearing board shorts and vaseline for a uniform? Don't forget MMA is a sport itself with rules and a scoring system that are manipulated by its athletes and your "Reality" is completely objective.... Shit my grandmother could kill Jon Jones squeezing her index finger.... hows that for reality. Fortunately I dont think she has it out for him but if he keeps poking people in the eyes...
Hahaha. Took me too long to get what you meant by squeezing the index finger. I thought that your grandmother was going to kill him with some ninja deathtouch. ^^
A sport is a sport. Why people dont go to American football players to tell em "Yeah but you dont jump high enough and slam that ball through the post" Because its not basketball dummy its NFL You dont slam you run and touch. Apart from this .... just go do MMA.... go. Without some form of grappling go try your "luck" in MMA..... The moment the opponent realise you dont know ground game or grappling you gonna have a very bad time.
Olá professor Guilherme, se no caso o oponente colocar a mão no chão , quando ele é lançado no solo , mesmo assim ainda dá para efetuar o movimento normal? oss!
Agora sim!!kk caraca eu sempre consegui chegar até a parte da raspagem mas na hora de dar o giro eu me confundia pra que lado girar,kkk e acreditem eu tive o dom de girar por cima do ombro e orelha direita estando com a delariva da perna esquerda e meio que embolado mesmo acabou dando certo!!kkk mas agora ficou mais facil fazer o Giro rs Valew ae a Aula!! e Obrigado ae pelos videos dicas e tudo mais tem me ajudado bastante!! valew!!
@Caboselecta It was made with paint, a skateboard, 2 ramps, a wall and canvas I believe. Someone close to RVCA or sponsored by RVCA actually made those.
please!!!!!! next time put some colored gi on rather than the white ones cause it's very hard to see the details whith the white mat. Thank you very much for posting this vids. this is Gold.
the miyao brothers have a berimbolo video with variations though. it doesn't come in too much detail but it's got mind blowing variations, I can't remember what the name is but ya. . .
tell me about it. im 200 lbs and just restarted training 2 months ago after a super long layoff. My instructor is a lightweight bjj worlds top competitor nad shows us these kind of tech and other where you swing the leg and sneek under and take the back. You should see me attempting it during drills. i look like a hipo trying to breakdance. its not pretty
Having trouble sweeping from half guard when they stand up! I would like to see a transition into Berimbolo from half guard.after the sweep here I see the knee bar!
kkk os brasileiros precisam perder a preguiça e assistir os vídeos em inglês, a diferenca dos canais em inglês é gritante, bjjfanatics , art of jiu-jitsu, keenan online, Fábio gurgel, sao uns poucos exemplos de canais q possuem infinita quantidade e qualidade nas explicações.
You guys should make the academy much whiter: I still have some nerve endings in the back of my eyeballs. ...thanks a lot for this: excellent instruction; might subscribe to the paysite, at some point. Do you have many techniques for the bigger guys - or is it very much geared towards the little guys?
Wow. This move is not as new as many make it out to be. I remember training off and on at a Barra affiliated gym back in the late 90's-early 2000. There were a few tall dudes who messed around with a position that had no name. Sometimes these two tall dudes tried pulling the berimbolo at the same time and we just called them the upside down clowns. It was a very discouraging position and no one knew what to do when they got stuck in it. the only thing the personon top could think about doing is hammerfisting the guys balls into his stomach but alas that cant be done while rolling. Its just funny to me this weird experimental position could have been used back then to win tournies but it kind of just stayed inthe practice room out of thought that it was super frustrating and clever but not real jiujitsu. Now from the late 2000's to now its real. its hella real and its bizare for an old timey bjj fan like me to watch..haha
actually a guy called Marcel Ferreira was doing in comps, he won as a purple middle heavy in 1996 the Worlds, but he mostly went to top position and passed because the pressure against the leg is big and it works well as a sweep but inside the gym he was doing the back variations too. But Mendes added new details and a focus on taking the back, and changed grips. Funny story made me smile now!
+jagpaul plaha You can you just have to use more of your core because you don't have the grips to distribute the weight. Keep your hands where the grips normally would be to keep good position but don't expect any grip to be saving you the extra effort.
usually the whole movement flows so fast its like being thrown you have no time to react for a toe hold... only if a guy who tries it is slow or not really good at it
+Edi Atimadoro Ever heard of being adaptive? You can grab waist band or other clothing material for some moves, but if it's not there, it's not there, you go to something else, or a variation. Most moves can be done no-gi and irl you can do collar chokes with heavier shirts and light coats.
I do truly love and appreciate Rafael's thoroughly detailed explanation of the technique. Then again, I expect no less from one of the best. Thank you very much, Professor Rafa!
They never cease to amaze... not even their 6 year-old videos...

If they can teach it to dozens of students at a time month after month, they can teach it in a video.

That has to be the cleanist/ coolest looking dojo I have ever seen.
best berimbolo instruction I have ever seen, now I can finally read and do berimbolo
pure gold bro
Wish more coaches would be this detailed and pedagogical.
Love this move, it has amplified my game exponentially. I also like to utilize the reverse berimbolo. Mendes bros, please return to H20 MMA in Montreal!

By far the best explanation on RUclips, great video!
Boa explicação, gostei da decoração da academia! Boa sorte.
I like the move, love the painting.
great instructional. Looking to add this more to my game; always struggled to implement this.
Brother estou completamente apaixonado pelo estilo de vcs Mendes Bros mudou meu jeito de rolar
I always ended up in half guard and was not satisfied. Now I know what to do! Obrigado
That's a beautiful dojo. goddamn.
Uncomfortably clean
Love the technique, but for ages Ive been wanting to know about that art work in the background!

very detailed tutorial , thank you!!
Tk for the knowledge !
parabéns pela didática e o perfeccionismo nos detalhes, top class
Eu admiro muito o seu jiu-jitsu professor Rafael !!
Beautiful facility.
Yeah I agree, looks amazing.
This made my berimbolo even better!
I do, thanks.
My question was more of a general one, but I will say that in high level competition, you see much more of the berimbolo in the lighter weight classes: Rodolfo and Buchecha aren't really known for it, for example.
Isso ae, se der pra botar legenda ficaria perfeito! Que o trabalho de vocês continue crescendo!
Details, makes excellence!
What stops the danger of leg drag when you bring back the foot from mat to the hip while unbalancing ?
Rafael me responde uma coisa alguém já conseguiu passar sua guarda parabéns você na minha opinião é o melhor lutador de todos os tempos de jiu
@TommyDaGun589 Thanks.
I was speaking more in terms of the general stuff on their website, though, and whether it's very broad, so that no matter what your game - flexibility, pressure - there's plenty for you.
excellent explanation on the bjj berimbolo! thanks for sharing!

Great instructional - keep up the great work fellas!
@Caboselecta

i'm not high level in Jiu Jitsu,and i'm interested...what the differents between Berimbolo and De la Riva???
Best featherweight ever.

Sinistro demais esse cara. Jiu-jitsu perfeito!
Gênio do esporte!
please!!!!!! next time put some colored gi on rather than the white ones cause it's very hard to see the details whith the white mat. Thank you very much for posting this vids. this is Gold.

Beautiful dojo & technique. Wish I weren't a 215 pound lummox and could do these techniques.
tell me about it. im 200 lbs and just restarted training 2 months ago after a super long layoff. My instructor is a lightweight bjj worlds top competitor nad shows us these kind of tech and other where you swing the leg and sneek under and take the back. You should see me attempting it during drills. i look like a hipo trying to breakdance. its not pretty
at about 5:22 how do you prevent your opponent from foot locking your (toe hold) when you're upside down?
Can't get the laverage, what i do? I get back my pawsture from the gourd and I take his back.
I’ll try tomorrow at my gym where don’t teaches berimbolo and ask for some more tips, thank you, I’ll stop by sometime next month
bem maneiro, agora se tivesse como legendar seria melhor ainda kk sou mt fã de vcs, rafa e gui idolos no tatame #oss
Em 1990, essa raspagem aí era chamada raspagem delariva, pois vinha da guarda delariva. Não tinha nada de "berimbolo". Mas foi uma boa explicação.
My favorite part is 3:26, "Oh, what am I doing?" LOL. I've found myself asking that very question at times.
Many, many times
It´s heaven
Whoah is this the real Cornelius?
Having trouble sweeping from half guard when they stand up! I would like to see a transition into Berimbolo from half guard.after the sweep here I see the knee bar!

Thank's a lot! Very interesting
Poderia Fazer 1 Traduzido Ou Legendado????
Vim aprender as magias
SICK
Very nice but why do you put your foot on the mat to change the angle why not just use the foot on his hip to escape?
Thank you
When you drill it enough and you get it fluid it feels like one step. Practice, Practice :)
I didn't know I didn't know so much 😓
You guys should make the academy much whiter: I still have some nerve endings in the back of my eyeballs.
...thanks a lot for this: excellent instruction; might subscribe to the paysite, at some point.
Do you have many techniques for the bigger guys - or is it very much geared towards the little guys?
incrivel
you are so didact, congratulations.
huh? have you ever watched their video's were he's nailing it in jits matches? I think you should post one and show us the correct way.
so good! thank you!

instead of grabbing the ankle can you grab the pants?
Very nice!
He's off the chain!
where the fuuuck did you record this? in heaven?
How would u do this no gi
You can't for the most part but you can do something similar from RDLR
+jagpaul plaha You can you just have to use more of your core because you don't have the grips to distribute the weight. Keep your hands where the grips normally would be to keep good position but don't expect any grip to be saving you the extra effort.
Great very sport!
Am I the only one thinking they should be wearing blue gis? They might as well be wearing green in front of a green screen.
como vai
usually the whole movement flows so fast its like being thrown you have no time to react for a toe hold... only if a guy who tries it is slow or not really good at it
how did they get it wrong they are the ones who developed it
but can you double leg?
i have a questing mister mendez, How to defend the heel hook?
and how you gonna do it if the guy dont have a belt how you gonna take the guy down from de de la riva
+Edi Atimadoro Ever heard of being adaptive? You can grab waist band or other clothing material for some moves, but if it's not there, it's not there, you go to something else, or a variation. Most moves can be done no-gi and irl you can do collar chokes with heavier shirts and light coats.
O yes thx you
grab the arm sleve and feed it through the legs to the hand of the riva
You grab the pants
Instead of pulling belt u can grab the back of the leg and foot that has the hook in it...if they have shorts on...
Muito bom, mesmo!
