I like how Bernardo always acts like a white belt when learning from everyone when he himself is a world champion.
The perfect mentality.
You can tell Bernardo totally respects Roger >
that’s what Jiu Jitsu is all about respect !
@E S Yes < Roger did > that was an unbelievable match . I loved it !
that's because Bernardo is an absolute legend!
Forever a student 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Concepts (Not all, but just for my own notes):
- When in Closed Guard, prevent the guy from putting his hands on your chest because that will help him posture up
- Try to break his posture by pulling your legs up, even when he attempts to stand
- Pay attention to the timing of when to pull with your legs when he stands (typically, when the 2nd leg comes off the floor is the perfect time to pull back with your legs and break his posture)
- Don't be in a hurry, there is no threat if he can't open your guard, time is your friend if he keeps expending energy to pass your guard
- When attacking with your arms, make sure you're pulling his collar with the intent of bringing his shoulders down so he can't posture
- Fighting his posture and keeping him in your closed guard is 60% of the battle
EDIT (After re-watching 6 months later):
- Make sure that with any grip you take of his lapel, your arm is stapled over his arm. (This will make it harder for him to posture up)
Nice
Good man, thank you
agree. I would add, that once you have control of the grips and posture, you're next step should be getting your leg over the shoulder. from there you can attack whatever you'd like.
@@yodizzll so true. thank you.
This was fantastic-thank you!
9:55 : People confuse basic for easy. Ah, spoken with true wisdom.
The scissor sweep is basic but it took what felt like forever to get it good enough to not telegraph it. Probably my favorite sweep from the bottom.
Make closed guard great again
Main takeaways:
1. Don’t allow to stand up.
2. Deny posture by winning grips
3. Block the chest grip as most dangerous
4. If you lose fight for chest grip go over with collar grip
5. Perfect timing to pull opponent down is when second leg gets off the mat
Reminds me of Luke's first lesson with Yoda, "Simple it may be, but easy it is not."
Its really big thanx to bernardo for putting himself in a student position
He really let his guests teach n show theire details
Without much interfering
Knowing that bernardo himself is a great champ and an incredible jj player !
Always learning and respecting what others bring to the table. Gotta respect that.
Roger explaining his basic but complex Jiu jitsu at the end was awesome
Roger’s techniques are absolutely perfect.
"No 'basic' is easy." That's a great quote.
Oh my god, I now remember that years ago I learned (and subsequently forgot) about that posture break timing when they try to step up with their _second_ foot. I can't forget that again! So good.
Man, roger's techniques and concepts are timeless.
Rogers closed guard instructional is amazing! I only wish he had showed how to defend the "Sao polo pass" in it as he showed how to counter all the over guard breaks
one MASTER speaking to another.
admiring every time the humbleness of Bernardo! and he's a black belt world champion...insane how JJ make great characters...! OSS
I think what makes Rogers game feel so "basic" is that everyone knew what he wanted to do to you. He wasn't pulling from a fancy bag of tricks.
He just did it so well that nobody could stop him getting what he wanted.
Watching you guys talk to each other gives me a peaceful vibe..
Roger's game is fundamental..not basic
Huge honor for me for being able to watch your content!!
1:44 the grip fight over your sternum
4:57 time posture break when 2nd leg come off the mat
7:35 control sleeve to not allow regripping and attack getting high guard
8:22 gain shoulder first for armbar (cross grip & cross sleeve)
Bernardo asks all the right questions and brings attention to the most important taught details. Thank u for this.
That 2nd leg timing has helped me so much! Cheers guys 🤟
The most valuable lesson from this video is that the "basic" techniques can make you a world champion once you master them. So many times we want to learn advanced techniques, but winning is more important than how technical your finish is.
Roger really does use the most fundamental moves but takes them to a high level with great detail.
Your constant humility and generosity to make this content available is a testament to you. Keep up the great work.
Man this is so valuable!! Just these two lessons will take me years to develop. Thank you Bernardo for the amazing content!! You're the best
No basic is easy!! Absolutely brilliant
OSS professor Roger Gracie and professor Faria thank you for this educational BJJ video. I will now revisit my closed guard game with this Roger Gracie knowledge drop. OSS ✌🏿
There’s a reason that the army doesn’t call basic training easy training. The more I listen to Roger, the more I realize that I already have all of the techniques that I need to be as good as I could ever possibly want to become. I’m not even a black belt yet, but I have all the same tools he does. I just need to learn how to use them better. Little tips like keeping your hands at the center of your chest to prevent someone from grabbing there are so helpful. I feel like they literally advance my understanding of jiujitsu by months if not years.
Amen. I have enough to be good but getting the mind to chain them together is my struggle.
Basic training was extremely easy compared to bjj to me
I'm beginning to get the sense that the best, most successful people in any field don't do different things, they do things differently, and that's the difference (pun totally intended)
It's all about the basics man.
god I felt this statement, my goal is usually to keep my elbows close to my opps inner-thigh, I never go for the center chest grip I typically go for the high lappel, pushing the opposite knee to the mat prevents the triangle, but its allot of effort to stack pass like that, the keeping the grip on the center of the chest is so simple yet so advanced, you are essentially pinning your opps center line, its hard for bottom player to set up most techniques by this little grip, what a video osss!!!
I appreciate all those small details. Thank you!
Flo Grappling has a great video from Roger as well on close guard. It became a big part of my bottom game. This is years of trial and error shown in 15 minutes.
I use Rogers comncepts in rolling in my gym and i am very satisyed that not even purple belts can escape my white belt closed guard :)
The last detail with the armbar was also shown by Rickson. The leg on the shoulder prevent posture up so it makes it easier to get it. These are the details that are from Rolles Gracie.
Another smash hit! These are fantastic, thank you guys for sharing these priceless insights!
Thanks Bernardo for posting this and thanks to Roger. You guys are awesome.
Excellent material as always! One of my fave RUclips channels ever!!
What can I say, every single video you produce is full of fantastic details and instructional information. Thank you Bernardo!!
Roger taught me this armbar set up when I was a blue belt and I used in every competition following.
I have rewatched this video for like a week and I got a chance to try this technique last night and wow does it work nobody opened my closed guard at all, amazing and thank you for this technique.
Wooohoooo!! Any Roger video is party time. Thank you Bernando for all the hard stuff you do for us
For sure my favourite GI competitor ever! Love how simply he explains basic techniques that have so much details in themselves 😁
Love the armbar details great stuff from the 🐐
Obrigada pela aula!
Great tutorial on Closed Guard! Such depth on probably the most basic guard blows my mind.
very helpful video thank you bernardo and roger
Thanks for the content!
Roger just might be the greatest all-time
Great questions,Bernardo!
Such much wisdom in so few words. Thanks for the class. Oss
“Ppl confuse basic for easy” 👏👏👏
Thank you for this. Keep it up.
'My game is simple, but not easy.' Roger Gracie
thankyou for the jiujitsu knowledge 🙏🙏
No one can ever come close to roger hes the best and so handsome with a gorgous smile
i love to watch him on the mat what a man ❤😊
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. I love this.
great tip.Thank you
Really great lesson thank you
Gracias Bernardo por mantener la correcta humildad cuando los invitados intentan transmitir conocimiento y sabes agradecer y sorprenderte.
Roger is impressive, Rickson, Kron, Jean Jac, Roger, and Relson would be a dream seminar. Rickson’s guys were killing me with something from the guard and now I see the invisible 🫥 GJJ that is a real paradigm shift on my understanding. 👍🏾
First of all thanks for the lesson! The video was awesome. Does anybody else agrees that if you close your eyes while Roger speaks it seems you’re learning directly from Bane?
Bernardo always approaches instruction with a humble & half glass full mind set. I really like his style & page!! I learn alot!!👍🏽🤙😁
Top guys, generous with their knowledge
Beautifully simple.
As a white belt, I can’t tell you how grateful for this video. 🙏🏾 Obrigado
Milles mercis !
incredible info
I tried this when rolling and this was amazing because this sets up subs a lot easier with the legs on the shoulders and with the grips
What a legend!!
Thank you!
I won 4 matches at master worlds at black belt using these methods. People just can’t get out of my closed guard. Unless I let them stand then they have a chance.
Great stuff
Ive learned one thing actualy
I like many others used to say roger has basic solid game
But like he explaine basic has good amount of complexity n details that i myself at least over looked for so many years !
Interesting video
Sonetimes the talk can teach you so much n so many things
Thx again !
Roger is the Man!
Just incredible
Drilled closed guard today at noon class, going to bring this approach to the 7 pm. Thanks for the video update: the posture break/sweep as soon as the 2nd leg is up works very well
That's incredible!
wouaw ty for this knowledge
Fantastic
Big legend!
awesome!
great instructor
Pure gold!
It’s all details, details, details!
Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow. I’m honored to watch your videos and all the work I love you put into it excellent motivational
Aí sim 😁👏👏👏
Excellent content. Oss proffers
Instant like for 2 legends
Damn my neck was hurting from watching Roger there!!! Hahaha So much wisdom in 10 minutes!
Roger Gracie is so technically sound you just have to love this guy
if you’ve trained any Jiu Jitsu at all !
Pure gold txs
Legends
Wow that is some alpha! I need to remember this one!
humble guys
6:30-7 minutes in totally changed my understand of closed guard
Love closed guard. ABP. “Always Be Pulling!”
Not literally “always”, but it’s a good rule.
I love to lift my hips and put weight down on my opponent’s hips to keep them from standing up. But sometimes you just need to know when where to pull the collar/head, and bring them down
The GOAT
I think I can sense a hint of a London accent coming on in Roger, heard it on random words towards the end of the video, top class lemon squeezer is our rodge!
Love Roger. There is nothing basic about this man.
Bernardo is the best and roger gracie is da bestest. ❤️ them both
I would like to see a video from Roger where he shows both gi and no gi versions of the same attacks
