Great breakdowns from a great grappler. One criticism I would have is regarding the framing of the videos. We have two shots. One of you in your room and another of Mark rolling. I think it would be better if the rolling footage was taking up more screen space. Just a personal preference.
Yes sir! Will do this for the next one 🙌🏻 thank you!!
@@WilliamTackettBJJ Cutting between a slightly closer shot of yourself is also a relatively easy way to create some visual variation. And you can hide mistakes that way, too!
I was going to make the same suggestion! I would appreciate that. I also like when you re-wind the footage when explaining something particularly important.
I agree with the framing of the videos..I would prefer the rolling footage to take up more screen space. Great job on these William and keep them coming!
Great video as a white belt this is really helpful and your observations are on point. I will be asking my coach about what habits I need to fix tomorrow. Subscribed 💪
I love that you explain this in beginner-friendly terms. I also love that you're not just reviewing pro matches that don't contain so many of the beginner mistakes we're all guilty of making as we learn!
Brother you don’t need to introduce yourself, everyone in BJJ knows who you and your brother are, absolute 💎 ‘s in the sport
@@DrHarbirSingh thanks man ❤️
@@WilliamTackettBJJ Absolutely. And you don't need that certificate of rank behind you. We all know.
@@MoisesEsquirolet I think that's a more accurate statement; Not a bad idea to introduce himself, especially on stuff like this with non-bjj people in it, because non-bjj people might watch, but the certificate won't matter to a rando and definitely doesn't matter to those of us who know him
Tackett is an assassin 💯 💪
love that tip on asking your coach about bad habits.
It’s a game changer 🙌🏻
I'm gonna ask my coach on Monday
I'm really enjoying these videos! Just a quick note, that microphone is a "front address" microphone, so you talk into the front of it rather than the top. If you look at the switch on the back, there are three settings. You want the cardoid setting (that looks like a heart). The other two are a figure 8 pattern and an omni pattern that records EVERYTHING around the mic. Hope this is helpful and that I didn't sound like a dick.
Subscribed! This is such useful info. The more videos you watch like this, the more general understanding you gain about jiu jitsu. And it’s just fun to watch, as opposed to instructionals sometimes, where you’re trying to commit 100% of it to memory. Thanks!
@@joelmaricel5810 thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
As a white belt, the way you pause and explain things as you go is really valuable, thank you! +1 on the comment to make the rolling footage slightly bigger on the screen!
Subscribed, thanks man!
Great analysis, also I like your down to earth approach to it, and not being too harsh or even arrogant. Thumps up! 😊
Thanks for the video! A lot of really helpful tips and tricks, and you kept it really entertaining. Looking forward to your next.
@@TheZodiacAce thanks for watching!
I appreciate how respectful you are. Super awesome.
👊🏻
I am learning more from this than from traditional instruction videos. Thanks for doing this!
Glad you like it 😃
Lex is definitely letting him work. Nice breakdown, keep em coming!
@@fatelvis138 thanks!!!
I don't do bjj but have done some boxing and into martial arts since the early 2000s I think you are such a good teacher I've learned soo much from this video new sub!❤
This is so cool to see. Thank you for your work and contributions, William!
@@ryanscottnix thanks for tuning in!
Really clear and insightful breakdown that I learned a lot from - thanks William. Would be interested to see a similar for your hard-fought CJI bouts and your strategy, how you were feeling physically/mentally during them.
I find the idea of 'what is the best level of effort to use against someone with significantly less skill' to be pretty interesting. I've been training for 10 years and because of my schedule, I end up going to a class that's pretty much all white and blue belts, so this is something I'm thinking about often. I like to let people work, but I feel like I use it as an excuse to be lazy, which has had a negative impact on my skill set/effectiveness recently. I'm trying to be more assertive while still being energy efficient and nice.
@@etimezz I think there’s a time and a place for both being nice, and being selfish.
I do some rounds where I let the guy do whatever, but if I only train like that I don’t get better.
And I do some rounds where I go for the kill, but if I do that all the time I’m coming across like a dick.
Balance between the 2, is the key 💪🏻
So many good tips on this video to try and apply to rolling/coaching! Nice and thorough.
Thank you man!
Great commentary from one of the world’s best
@@MilesAndMats thank you 🙏🏻
Super informative, pls keep making these videos!!!!
Great breakdown- I particularly like that you approach with kindness. I myself though have to shoot it straight. Mark is making lots of white belt mistakes here even with Lex being so passive. I see this pattern of accelerating celebrities through belts and it’s just wrong and does them more harm than good
Loving these breakdowns!
Thanks broski!
I learn a lot from these types of videos. Great content.
I love how generous he’s being to lex…
So good! Gotta imagine this will make its way back to Zuck too. Well done 👏🏻
Hope so! That would be dope
Thank you William. Great tips, learning a lot!
Man i really learned a lot from this breakdown. Thanks
Keep making vids man I love it
As a beginner I learned so much from this video. Thank you!
Really enjoy these!
Mark is definitely performing at the expected level for his belt, good on him!
You have done a great job explaining your thoughts and reasoning for your comments on the video and i like how you have editted in footage from other matches for examples.
Only possible improvement (and this is likely viewer preference so feel free to disregard it) is that you should rewind the video where you see something that you want to comment on.
Anyway thanks for the Great video, liked and subscribed.
@@nightsmock8715 thank you!!!
Youre a Fuckin' Dawg, Bro! Hope to see more of you this season. Oss
Such a kind and soft spoken dude off the ma. He and his brother are downright nasty and vicous on the mat. Absolute legends of CJI!
Well done! Very educational. As a white belt it gives me good details to watch out for.
Please come to Australia on a seminar tour at some stage and make sure you visit Adelaide! We tend to get one or two people related to the B team visit us per year (in our summer) who are very welcome and we'd love to see you too! I think Nora trains in your gym and she'd be able to share all of her connections with you to get it happening! :-)
Mark giving off fake blue belt vibes.
@@stevenpfister4959 you’d be surprised how bad some blue belts can be 😂 I’ve seen it with my own eyes!!
I was actually impressed with Mark! Especially considering how most celebrities get promoted based on attendance rather than skill development
I’m Only a white belt, even though I’m 34 I’m a personal trainer and stay in shape always. But also because I started only with no gi, then changed academy and then moved to other country I think I haven’t try the blue belt exam. So maybe I have 1 year and a half of experience. And some more random sessions before this. Aside of other martial arts like boxing and Thai.
Now In my academy there’s a blue belt 20kg lighter than me. And this guy completely demolish me, specially with Gi. He trains same amount of hours as me a little more.
I won’t ever consider myslef a blue belt until I can be decent against a guy like him.
Blue belt isn't supposed to be some Olympean feat to obtain.
BJJ has taken the belts to a ridiculously weird standard now. People have to be world champions or routinely competing to get past white belt or something?
Blue belt was just meant to be you knew how to manhandle big strong guys who knew nothing.
@@tjl4688100% agree, but many affiliation keep people at white for whatever reasons for years
@@tjl4688that's not a blue belt, this is a 2 strep white belt
Great breakdown and useful tips for all grapplers!
@@joshualewis894 thank you!
Great stuff. Just want to recommend switching the sources in PiP-scenes and showing the stuff you are talking about in big size and you un the window.
So helpful William. Thank you.
Thanks William love your detailed tips. Im always learning.
@@MMACONTENT-oy3mk 🙌🏻
Who gave Mark a blue belt? We have young white belts at my gym who’d have a field day with him.
Yeah but he’s like 40 and been behind a computer most of his life. I am actually impressed with his skills
@ Very true.. just a thought that popped in my head 😂
@@ericramirez6689 oh dude, I always have the “I’d body him bro” mentality 😂 gotta shove it deep down sometimes 😅
I mean blue belt white belt pretty much the same thing 😂. He's definitely flowing nice. I'd let him do the same especially since he worth billions 😂😂. He walks into our gym I definitely wouldn't smash him.
@@WilliamTackettBJJ to be fair lex is a pretty good blackbelt too even tho he wasnt going 100 percent he was making mark work.
Keep these breakdowns coming!
@@jpb4734 roger that 🫡
So many good points, thanks teach 👍
At minute 28 you were talking about not posting the hand on the map and thats great info, however it would be good (as in this case) say what would be a better alternative or where to put your hand to be effective
Marks jits is as awkward as he is.
Lots of handy tips in the breakdown though. 👌🏻
Bro. Incredible content dude
Great video and great explanations - learnt a ton!
@@alexg2150 thanks for watching!
Body lock first and near side hook comes next. After that use your weight to roll them to the side and get the second hook.
He should not have a blue belt he is white belt raw
Well he’s also 40 so that’s a huge factor! And maybe he’s more of a gi guy :)
@ I agree 💯% but he just seems not athletic at all. I’m not trying to be disrespectful but belt promotion are not what they used to be. All my promotions were from either Royce or Rorain and they don’t give belts unless you can defend that level. Now it’s like you pay here I think he is not ready for a blue belt? That’s a big jump from blue now purple forget about it. To me that’s what separates legit Bjj you are on the other side of being a student that should crush it. Rolling with browns and blacks everyday. Maybe it’s just me but he looks lost and does not have basic fundamentals.
@@canudigit1970 Meh, blue basically just means you know the fundamentals. He's still kinda awkward with it and he's certainly not a "high level" blue, but he seems to at least have a general idea of what to do from any position. Don't have to hold his hand through any positions, and he's not going to hurt anyone outside a real accident.
@@canudigit1970 "he looks lost and does not have basic fundamentals." 💯
good on mark for learning since jiu-jitsu is already hard enough without being a sedentary, middle-aged desk jockey. but let's not water down the sport and its credibity but giving him credit he doesn't deserve.
Howdy from Spain! Great insight for hapless practitioners like me. Thanks!
@@kylehaugstad2910 glad you enjoyed it 😃
Sick matches last summer. Come to Europe for seminars
@@ivankoev will be back to Europe for sure! What area specifically?
@@WilliamTackettBJJcan’t speak for where I train but the Regensburg area in Germany would be nice. 😊
Czech Republic/Poland/Germany my and my bros are coming for sure.
This is epic content! Thank you very much.
@@Bossplaier-px1ic 😃🙌🏻
I clicked because of Zuckerberg, but stayed because of the excellent breakdown. I'm about the same level as MZ and make many of the same mistakes. Thank you!
@@Kendross22 glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😃
Lex is going 50%
5% to be more accurate
It was like watching a child wrestling with their dad.
The biggest thing i see throughout the whole roll mark did is that he is reaching and leaning far meaning his balance is WAY OFF and he left himself exposed. this is to be expected by early white and blue belts as you are kind of timid and not too sure how to move or attack. But it is best to keep those elbows tight, protect the underhooks and fix the GD posture. a little bit of greco roman wrestling would be good- they got frikin strong posture. leaning over like that and reaching plus keeping extended legs leaves you exposed for everything from collar drags and snaps to throw bys, shots and dozens of sweeps or even triangles.
New sub!
Around the 17:20 mark what should Mark have done to avoid his legs thrown to the side? And how should he have defended once it had happened? I know it’s best to avoid getting in that situation but it happens.
I may be wrong maybe self framing on your legs with your elbows on that mat?
Rotating your legs in an “egg beater” motion to clear your legs from their grip. Then work to a seated guard so you can hand fight
That guy was being very nice to zuck
Great video but the quiet song in the background is super distracting.
I don't think Mark is learning a lot here. Too low intensity and unrealsitic. A normal white belt is going to give Mark more to think about, if he actually wants to learn for real.
@@ed1726 I could agree and disagree. I think training at this intensity is important, but also training hard with people around your skill is also important.
So I think a combo of both is probably best :)
@WilliamTackettBJJ Yeah that is a fair point, would depend on his overall training, which I guess we don't know. I was just assuming it was all like this, but that is an assumption so could be wrong.
More importantly, I see a Hammer guitar back there. What are your thoughts about them? I believe they're out of production after being bought out by Fender, but you can still get them second hand. I've been thinking about a PRS, which have some similar qualities, but the cost is...well, the PRS John McLaughlin signature model is $20, 000.00. Ya, you read that right. Twenty thousand dollars, so ya.
@@vwgolf1991 I’ve had this one for years and absolutely love it. Got it for super cheap. It shreds!
I liked this one a lot.
Thanks man!
Do you think he pays people to lose to him? I did hear that he was pretty good but I heard Tom Hardy is pretty good too so who knows. When you have more time and tons of money it is much easier to train for sure.
Do we know if they were actually trying here? Saying this because it looks like it's almost like a flow-roll and in my experience, lower belts struggle to flow-roll and it often looks weird and technique is far worse.
Zucks a blue belt? Just watching this after a session it reminds me of a 53 year old 2 stripe white belt I rolled against.
Coach is way too easy on him
He's a 40 year old blue belt. I'm not sure what we were expecting.
I was expecting much more celebrity style training! But he’s getting after it 💪🏻
No wonder William is great at jiu-jitsu, look at the size of his hands😂
@@julianking7 😂😂😂
I'm impressed with zuck the borg ❤ lex has good control he really gentlemanly rolls he's a black belt I assume
Lex vs Zuck the borg I thought I was watching battle bots for a sec
Thought I was watching battle bots
lex is definitely going super easy on mark. i'm not seeing any force or intensity, which is what you'd expect with a billionaire that everyone treats with kid gloves. blue belt? no way.
I gotta cool tablet thanks for info
Sounds like the laptop mic
zuckerburg could be black belt even , i still think of him as a wimp trying to fit in doing a sport i love. honest.
Biggest issue Mark has got is those thin legs. No power behind those toothpicks.
Kolat the goat
4:00
I really emphasize diagonal control more than anything and securing the underhook space. this simple rule apply both to mount, side control, back control and most everywhere throughout bjj. once you can get that diagonal control meaning control of an armpit and opposite hip, then it is relatively straightforward to transition and progress your attacks.
You are too kind to Mark 😅
I honestly expected him to be much better this was hard to watch. Looks like they’re flow rolling but still there’s doesn’t seem to be much skill there at all
I thought Zuck got injured? Destroyed his knee or something. Unless this footage is old.
@@SirKeirStarmtrooper he tore his ACL I believe. But is recovered and back to training (according to JRE)
These are cool but switch the screens. I wanna see the roll in detail not your face beautiful as it may be
Noted 🫡
Dude I'm sure you are good but you don't need to keep your metals and degree in the background lol you seem cool though
Americana? Lex should hand in his bb
Idk bro, I love going for Americanas on white belts 😂😅
@ sorry but I’m going to have revoke your bb 😤
Blue belt? laughable!
Oh dear, they are terrible.
Who cares about this dude?
