The problem with the book of five rings is that it's highly open to interpretation. I read it first as a teenager and got a certain meaning from it. I've read it again at least once in each decade of my life and gotten something very different from it each time. Still a great treatise on strategy but in its own way, rather mysterious. He's right that for a western mind, western authors like Von Clauswitz can be more accessible, especially if strategy isn't critically integral to your lifestyle. S'all good though, just know what you're getting into.
I like Thomas Cleary's translation of Musashi, just because it's in plain English and very accessible. Cleary's edition gives the impression of Musashi as a medieval Bruce Lee, being critical of traditionalists in the martial arts and breaking combat down to concepts like rhythm and timing. I have no idea if it's originally meant to read like that, but it's useful nonetheless
@@uexkeru That much is pretty clear and I've read that translation. I still find the work open to interpretation and my experience is still that one gets out of the Go Rin No Sho, what one has put into studying martial arts. As I've gained experience, what I get out of it changes over time.
Awesome tutorial! I keep getting caught in head and arm chokes, and can't escape. How do i get out of it? Is asking two questions too greedy? I'd like to know how to survive ground n pound. Thanks!
Timely “Super Hooks” on the backside. You have to keep the bottom guys hips on the mat to the extent possible. That’s at least what I know to do. ruclips.net/video/S5lEKPOKzZ8/видео.html
The small detail with that tiny turn before bridging is just a magic
Could you do a video on BJJ tactics for street....e.g. how to protect from ground and pound...kicks and to get back on the feet
Great details on the upa mount escape. Thanks for sharing and teaching it.
Gold! Can't wait to try this!
Great instructions thanks!
Perfect details. I'm always looking to improve my basics.
Thank you for sharing! Very useful detail

Great tips! Going to add to my mount escape, thanks!
Totally worked in class last night!
Thanks for the great video. What about when the person on tops posts their head on the mat to prevent the roll?
Great details thank you!
How you defend against correctly done Umpa?

Dude, your portuguese's a little off - it's "upa", not "umpa"
Bernardo Amorim as long as you understand, the job is done! Appreciate the teaching instead as BJJ is an international Language

@@DMK25 you're absolutely right! Oss
Sorry guys, but this shit is called UPA... from UPA UPA CAVALINHO... it is not UMPA...
Oh, by the way, very very very good details to make UPA way more effective. Thanks.
