    When I was a young teen I was so skinny that Marcelo actually seemed so buff lol. I just turned 30 last week & I realize just how small he really is. So much respect for him & his jiu jitsu. Him & kron gracie are my favorites

      I like Hickson , and in terms new guys I like Gordon Ryan , I can't believe Dillon Danis with his cocky attitude ever got his bjj black belt from MG is just strange how polar opposites they are. He is a lot more talented than ppl give him credit for in bjj at least. But in fight things change I would love see Khazmat fight him. I digress lol 😆into my not liking his student

    I was getting smashed by bigger guys for the first three and half years until I started working the butterfly sweep. That sweep position has saved my ass so many times. There's a lot of other little details that will help that he doesn't mention, but it's definitely position worth studying if you're always getting smashed by bigger guys.

    Most people who are learning want to learn fancy things. Marcelo is giving some great insight into the RNC here. Amazing details that make the difference. Anyone can practice an RNC once with a guy letting you do it, but when someone is defending it is a different game. These are awesome little tips, great video!

    I Wish he would added the obvious which he was a master of although a guy may be stronger he's leveraging his strength so we must learn to leverage our speed advantage as well during scrambles, etc Marcelo es a God at this. Like it was Art in motion everytime I regret not seeing him live.

  • @darklord220
    @darklord220 13 лет назад +1

    I was (still am?) in the same boat as Marcelo. I started jiu jitsu a year and a half ago at 16 years old as a small mexican kid with no kids class, and watching Marcelinho really gave me a model of what I could be (at least in sport jiu jitsu) and what kind of game I could have. Initially training with grown men I think actually helped my jiu jitsu increase in terms of adaptivity, I'm not afraid nor hesitant to attack because of a strength gap. THanks steph and marcelo!

    @zackhanscom most street fights end up on the ground...if you know some jiu jitsu and the other guy doesnt, you will easily control him and either tie him up and clobber his head in, or just choke him out or something
    even if the other guy is striking, a good jiu jitsu fighter will almost always win (unless you get hit with a haymaker right off the bat and get knocked out)
    jiu jitsu is probably one of the most effective martial art for winning a street fight IMO....muay thai too
