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
Marcelo is without a doubt my favorite bjj guy ever. His moves are practical , no crazy rubber guard shit or complicated set ups. plus we have a similar body shapes so its easy for me to apply his moves when I'm going live. Dude is a true master and pioneer.
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 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.
i agree with auzziesoceroo - stephan your teaching is excellent. i don't even do bjj but you make me want to make time for it because your pace - even with a guest teacher - removes the intimidation of the learning curve. bravo.
I really like how he explains things, he doesn't bs and is succinct and understands and explains well different things that can occur and ways to react.
Marcelo Garcia and Stephan Kesting! Two cool dudes sharing their knowledge, thanks alot!! Im going down to roll with the bigger guys in 15 mins! one love!
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!
butterfly is great! By all means learn it! however i would recommend focusing on the basics before spending your time adding butterfly guard to your game
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.
all the guys in my gym have 45 lbs on me and more then a year of study. i have 6 months, so this will help alot. as long as i remember it when it counts lol. thanks for another great video.
I wish I was only at 45lbs disadvantage. It is more like 50kg disadvantage for me at my gym haha! Granted there are some that only got about 10kg on me but still... its rough being on the lighter end of the spectrum. You posted almost a year ago, hows it going for you now?
David Reljanovic basics like safe hands, working on good base, and keeping those guys busy. ive lost the couch potato fat so now most guys have 55 , to 65 lbs but ive earned the nick names weapon x, lol. im loving bjj more and more. hope things are going well at your gym. Stephan Kesting on you tube is a good place ive found , lots of high percentage moves and tips to improve. good luck to ya.
During the rear naked choke, MG says he never does something with the palm of his hand, but I couldn't hear. Do you know what it was? I start palm toward myself and peel into the back of the head by rotating to palm downward. Did he say that was good or bad?
I am often training with a guy who is about 30kg (~60lbs) heavier than me. I would never pull any kind of guard against him, because he would literally crush me down. Any tips for gaining top position against heavier opponent?
Should you play top or play guard vs a big guy? I suck on top and have shitty balance but my guard is good but with big guys being on bottom is tough so idk
From a 155 lbs 5"11 with decent success against bigger opponents: I second the butterfly guard. I also like to play close guard but you have to be good at keeping them busy (attacking from guard) and give them no time to frame up, if they frame up you gotta break that frame, that frame is what gives them the most strength. Without frame and keeping them busy you can sneak a sweep but i find it hard to keep bigger guys down. When on top you basically have to be 1 step ahead and work around their will, technique helps but unless you're really good chances are a 220 lb person can force themselves out of your side mount. So if they try to escape you have to transition accordingly, trying to keep someone big down is hard by just applying your weight on them.
JohnKing you need to learn cross facing with your side control. It stacks on pressure. I'm 150 and kept a 280 pound guy down for over ten minutes. Not to mentioned he was well trained.
@getthetapjj I see what you mean about the slicing power. Very interesting! Also, this seems to put more pressure on the back being pushed into the front, vs the front being pulled into the back. An interesting distinction. Thanks for the clarity, love the channel!
I'm thinking about moving to NY just so I can get this kind of training everyday, I used to play around with inverted guard and de la riva a lot till I started watching more of Marcelo. Also being 220 pounds, I've realized it doesn't make sense to play that kind of game all the time. He makes it seem so easy.
I don't disagree that it can take a vast difference in technical ability and I'm not insisting that it can be done consistently but I've seen some really amazing differences in size and strength overcome by technique.
are pressure point attacks allowed in BJJ? like could i poke my thumb up under the chin to lift the guys head so i can get the rnc? Cuz there's some point attacks under the chin that would definitely force him to lift it and expose the neck.
yeah thanks for your advice, i guess itl be better in the long run if i get better at finishing the choke normally or transitioning to something else. someday il probably fight someone i cant finish like that. i also didnt know anything about the cutting of the teeth thing and i would in no way want to cause a serious injury to my friends, even if it loses me a few fights.
can someone help me with this? i dont understand why people bother fighting to lift the chin? im pretty small and can finish rear naked chokes when they have their chin down, i pretty much just apply a lot of pressure. it pretty much crushes their chin and they either tap from that or lift their chin. of course i dont want to injure any of my friends. could this cause serious or permanent injuries? should i not do it or do you think its their fault for not tapping?
so humble, so good at what he does!! very good example of what a Martial artist should be. I think he could beat Khabib!!! you are so blessed if you train under him..
@hapaboi39 it's not always good to roll with bigger guys.. at the beginning of my sw/bjj career I only had these big, muscular guys to roll with and it helped me to never try and outmuscle opponets (cause I'd always lose).. and my defense got really good but my offense is still terrible since I never got a chance to get to those good positions where I could submit them, since a stronger white belt will win against a weaker white belt
@ajahni what belt are you? im in the queens area. been looking for a good school. Marcelo's is a bit too pricey for me. Not saying its not worth it but i just cant afford it. and by the way, does he personally teach there?
@zackhanscom it can be applied in "reality." There are different dynamics in different environments and this knowledge still is very useful if you understand its place.
I love Marcelo's philosophy of only using the guillotine, RNC, and North/South choke as far as arm chokes are concerned. I still use the Darce/Brabo a lot as well, just because it's so versatile in entries/setups and finishing positions, but I pretty much stay away from other head and arm variations.
I train at AOJ and we have some big dudes that take jiu jitsu seriously. The better my technique and my attention to small details helps me. If I can bait the bigger guy on some of my sweeps I might not be able to submit them, but I can definitely fight them off lol
@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
+nunya businezz The problem is you then run into one of the Miyao or Mendes brothers and that size just isn't going to do very much for you there. It is just more mass to grip onto.
***** I'm not quite seasoned in watching others compete, but you can't expect a guy, let alone a small guy, to beat everybody by submission. They're so closely contested that it is near impossible. How about you go and do that, but lets be honest, you are no small guy.
Quick anatomy lesson, It doesn't matter how big you are, you simply don't have anything covering certain vulnerable areas. The trachea, gonads, eyes, and kidneys have no muscle cover so no matter how big the guy it still takes the same amount of force to injure the target area as a small guy. Large persons also only have a modest increase in bone density so small joint manipulations will still break or dislocate a wrist hand or elbow. And yes a 10 year old can do these to an adult.
@AlexLococo lmaoo do you just go out and about and start wailing on everyone you see or do you ring up a stuntman and beat seven bells outta him? generally interested about this :')
I think what you asking is when he gets the full rear naked he make sure he keeps his palm facing him (MG) and close so the other guy can not grab his hand and peel it
size and strength are extremely important when noth are at about the same skill level in fighting. but a 300 lbs weightlifter against a 190 lbs bjj blackbelt...what are the odds?
I'm assuming you mean a 300lbs weightlifter with no prior fighting training and just strength. The answer is simple: he would get his ass kicked. I'm about 195lbs myself, and I get my ass kicked by smaller guys than me if they are of higher skill. Here is a video that might directly answer your question: ruclips.net/video/0tzjcEgPWpM/видео.html . It's more like 260lbs vs 170lbs but you get the idea - the guy who is significantly bigger and stronger gets his ass kicked because he is not a trained fighter.
@darklord220 same boat? marcelo is not a small mexican kid. he is a smaller brazilian adult. just kidding man, your right training with big dudes will help your jiujitsu for sure.
In my experience you cannot just think you are going to win an MMA fight only by using jiu jitsu techniques so you may be right but just in a half, because the same way you cannot expect to win by only kicking and punching. MMA and BJJ are different sports, you just cant say BJJ doesn't work in MMA cause if you watch MMA fights and understand BJJ you will notice BJJ is always present cause it is useful not only for submiting an opponent, but controling distance to be safe or attack.
cant you do these moves with just about anybody? even if you are bigger in you get the persons back u could still choke the face? Ive practiced that to work for the choke.. but honestly Im just learning, and youtube is my primary teacher lol.
He like must have had a toy with bjj shapes and insteasd of circle blocks in circle holes it was rear naked back choke blocks in rear naked back choke holes
its funny, its a 50/50 thing. i feel like you both have the responsibility. but you are right to an extent. just remember. "bjj is the gentle art" meaning we never want to hurt our opponent per say, we use pure technique and physics to overcome our battle.. plus i never mean that you would in anyway use excessive force just to get a rear naked. im taking it from my own ecperience. ive tapped to someone trying to crank in a rear naked over my chin, but thats my fault for letting him get there =)
@AlexLococo you shouldn't punch the mouth as you'll end up with blood poisoning - i've seen it atleast 3 times just so you know, and i doubt it'll stop them, just make them angry (:
How about a video fighting someone without a leg or missing arm. People think it's easier but it actually throws you off. I weigh 135 and sparred people who are 210 and got to their back all day. But i done nearly froze sparring someone handicapped.
if you feel that way about bjj, why dont you go and fight anderson silva? hes a bjj black belt and relies heavily on it for his ground game. most mma fighters will say ground game is crucial and bjj gives you that.
@badass76ta you are million percent correct say you have garcia vs some 400 pound blue belt the blue belt will die but say you take two people that have skill level but the other is ten times the size hw will win
it puts a lot of pressure on the chin, sometimes even cutting the inside of the lip against your opponents teeth when they hunker their chin in. not fun =( look for controlling your opponent first in your back control and either switch to an armbar if you cant secure the rear naked =)

There's nothing wrong with rubber guard lmao.
Lol how in the world is the rubber guard a crazy move😂
MG is thinking "I smash these bigger guys everyday, what's the big deal."
Importman2009 Right. Great comment
is there video of him beating someone considerably larger than him? 250 - 300 lb'er?
Theres video of me tapping him out everytime.
If he has more skill, yes. But he gets killed by Roger gracie, drysdale, estima and popovich.
KAJlogic look up Rocco Rodriguez vs Marcelo Garcia. Ricco was a ufc fight at one point and a champ

+aswtx75 Duly noted!
marcelo is a great teacher. use his tipps now and it helps a lot. most guys in my classes are 20 - 30 some even 40 kilo plus my size :-D
aswtx75 yeah, butterfly/elevator is my saviour
yup, same here
man every interview with Marcelo he seems like one of the nicest guys in the world
i agree with auzziesoceroo - stephan your teaching is excellent. i don't even do bjj but you make me want to make time for it because your pace - even with a guest teacher - removes the intimidation of the learning curve. bravo.
i love how patient stephan is. Even though he knows a lot of what Marcelo is explaining he just smiles and nods along :)
I really like how he explains things, he doesn't bs and is succinct and understands and explains well different things that can occur and ways to react.

are you still rolling hermano ?
hows it going man you a black belt?
02.52 is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Thankyou.
Well, being a serial smashed new practicioner , I'll try this. But, damn, it looks so easy when mastered by the Master!
Jcjcn
butterfly is great! By all means learn it! however i would recommend focusing on the basics before spending your time adding butterfly guard to your game
i realize now you wrote this comment 2 years ago, I imagine my comment is perhaps no longer relavant ':D
During the first lift showed by Marcelo at 2:32 does he carry all your weight on his legs or do you carry a part of your weight with your arms ?
Eagle I believe most of the opponents weight will be held up by your legs and some by your arms
@@aliqatishat3790I think the same. Thanks !
Marcelo's just awesome. In every sense of the word.
i like marcelo's style. and charakter. great to see this two nice guys sharing knowledge.

Of course it does. But technique matters more, just like speed and flexibility.
Size matters, the bigger the opponent the baddest the ego hurt they are when they lose ;)
I am going to Marcello this saturday.. cant wait!!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU GOT MARCELO GARCIA TO WORK WITH YOU! Awesome! Great video man.
Marcelo Garcia is the best!
Such a good technique his the best jiu jitsu guy out there
During the rear naked choke, MG says he never does something with the palm of his hand, but I couldn't hear. Do you know what it was?
I start palm toward myself and peel into the back of the head by rotating to palm downward. Did he say that was good or bad?

Marcelo Garcia is the nicest guy in addition to being a master jujitsu practitioner.
Arm Drag to the back works alot for me
I am often training with a guy who is about 30kg (~60lbs) heavier than me. I would never pull any kind of guard against him, because he would literally crush me down. Any tips for gaining top position against heavier opponent?
If you can learn to butterfly sweep or good take down. This will DEFINITELY help you. Hope that helped. Good luck~

@AlexLococo do you spar against bigger opponents so that if you do go a little ott you can say 'he stepped forward and I just panicked...." ;')
Awesome!!
Thanks Stephan!
so humble, so good at what he does!! very good example of what a Martial artist should be. I think he could beat Khabib!!! you are so blessed if you train under him..

@numbah16 up to 153 now, who could have anything bad to say about Marcelo? He looks like the nicest guy you could want to meet.
@ajahni what belt are you? im in the queens area. been looking for a good school. Marcelo's is a bit too pricey for me. Not saying its not worth it but i just cant afford it. and by the way, does he personally teach there?
is the triangle lock/hold a strength maneuver?
Very useful techniques. Great vid.
great questions Stephan
2:50 was the most fluid movement I've ever seen
@zackhanscom it can be applied in "reality." There are different dynamics in different environments and this knowledge still is very useful if you understand its place.
As 6'4 and just starting out, thanks for the opponents playbook lol.
Should I go for the legs in a tight space or should I try to get him into a chock hold?
Ernesto Moran go for the chock. the chock!
yep always choke the big guys...I learned this many years ago when watching The Princess Bride.
I love Marcelo's philosophy of only using the guillotine, RNC, and North/South choke as far as arm chokes are concerned. I still use the Darce/Brabo a lot as well, just because it's so versatile in entries/setups and finishing positions, but I pretty much stay away from other head and arm variations.
Big guy:"you can squeeze my neck i wont tap"

@auzziesoceroo but hong man choi has no bjj. look at how big foot took out fedor. ur point is right though
Man, This guy is awesome. Thanks for the video
@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

it puts a lot of pressure on the chin, sometimes even cutting the inside of the lip against your opponents teeth when they hunker their chin in. not fun =(
look for controlling your opponent first in your back control and either switch to an armbar if you cant secure the rear naked =)
but do you not think its their responsibility to avoid injury by tapping? its not like i completely crush them straight away.
@Mihker have to agree with you
