Спорт
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
@@dreknows khamzat is in his prime marcelo is way past his prime
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
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.
Smashed by bigger guys, eh? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
+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
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.
There's nothing wrong with rubber guard lmao.
Lol how in the world is the rubber guard a crazy move😂
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!
man every interview with Marcelo he seems like one of the nicest guys in the world
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.
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 :)
Awesome!!
Thanks Stephan!
Thanks for yet another insightful video Stephan.
Great video man. Must be an honor to roll with Marcelo Garcia. Well done.
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 like marcelo's style. and charakter. great to see this two nice guys sharing knowledge.
My 2 favorite people in BJJ! Great content as always (I know this is an old video, but still)
Marcelo's just awesome. In every sense of the word.
I am going to Marcello this saturday.. cant wait!!
Very useful techniques. Great vid.
Man, This guy is awesome. Thanks for the video
Thanks alot for doing this video.
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
Great video! Thanks!!!
great questions Stephan
Thankyou great post..
anytime man. thats a great attitude to have too! you will progress faster this way.
Marcelo Garcia is the best!
This is really in depth technique
holy shit stephan kesting you got marcelo garcia to work with you godamn someone give this man a cookie. And make sure that cookie tastes good
I wish I could train with Marcelo.
B. Jack I wish I could train with you jack
Tony Soza I wish I could not get so much flak
+maidenfanatic33 - Hold on I will be right back, I am having a Big Mac Attack.
Playing R&B songs at juijistu practice is wack.
Your wife doesnt even train in jiu jitsu, but she still prefers back
HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU GOT MARCELO GARCIA TO WORK WITH YOU! Awesome! Great video man.
Such a good technique his the best jiu jitsu guy out there
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.
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!
are you still rolling hermano ?
hows it going man you a black belt?
Great vid. Thanks.
thx man.. this thing worked straight off the bat:) first try and swoop sweep!! even almost got it the second time also with the foot sweep.. gonna try this on more of the big mofos
I needed this last night 😂😂😂
@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!
Marcelo is just the goat of bjj hands down and a great teacher
Very helpful
I just love the echo
dude, marcelo is awesome.
Arm Drag to the back works alot for me
Big guy:"you can squeeze my neck i wont tap"
MG: lolz
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.
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 ;)
Amazing
As 6'4 and just starting out, thanks for the opponents playbook lol.
Marcelo Garcia is the nicest guy in addition to being a master jujitsu practitioner.
That was masterful.
ok, excellent arguments!!!, have a nice day.
Props guys
thanks very much :)
wow. that was awesome.
Could you please improve your mic? I struggled to hear Marcelo in this one. Otherwise 10/10 keep up the good work!
Like a Marcelinho!
damn.. marcelo is a genius
thank you
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..
I'm gonna try this next time I get in a street fight with a huge dude.
Nice guy.
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.
@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.
great stuff.
Could you expand the reasoning behind the hand not facing their head at 6:50 ?
@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.
yep always choke the big guys...I learned this many years ago when watching The Princess Bride.
pretty good video
marcelo is THE MAN!
If I ever run into a pissed off Marcelo Garcia in a dark alley, I'm running the other way immediately.......
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.
Ty
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
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?
@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...." ;')
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.
is the triangle lock/hold a strength maneuver?
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.
Would love to train at Garcia's for some months...
@Mihker have to agree with you
@AlexLococo is that a scheduled thing the every three years go ona rage to relieve stress? :')
man, better audio would be really cool!
@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?
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?
It's my goal to one day train in that gym.
Did u make it?
Oh...okay. Guess I don't have any other option but to believe you.
You seem like a good source on me.
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
Not sure "finishing" is the heart and soul of jiujitsu.
MARCELO IS A GOD
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 !
@auzziesoceroo but hong man choi has no bjj. look at how big foot took out fedor. ur point is right though
@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
Also, I'm a different person than from before. Stop randomly trying to insult me; I'm just trying to ask why you feel a certain way about a certain topic and telling you my own thoughts.
i am 140 lbs and i use this for sweep a guy 260 lbs and work for me ty vm for the tips
haha marcelo is the best, one thing i noticed is that i don't remember what he look like standing, walking on daily basis, i don't think i would recognize him out of context 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
this guy is a genius
i spent so much time reading this shit that when i reached the end of it the vid was halfway over...
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~
Do you know the headlock escapes?
Marcelo has the biggest smile in BJJ! xD
@123NateDee Watch out we've got a badass over here!
