That guy seemingly had no submission grappling experience whatsoever. He was super impatient, and even as a pure wrestler he didn't show a strong wrestling base or anything. He was just effortlessly thrown around.

i found this the other day and i was wondering, is this shit even for real? how good do u have to be to go through like over 30 guys and tap them all out like this? i'm sure there are a lot of novices in those sparring but still.... i'm sure u guys who train can answer the question and put it into perspective for me. i remember an interview by rogan with J.J MAchado. and in it, he says how he remembers rickson coming to his BJJ school and going through like 30-40 guys in one night and subbing all of them. these videos kinda gave me an idea of what that looks like. lol. |

Without a doubt Rickson is a beast - but you have to take all of these videos with a grain of salt because - at the time - they were using them as advertising tools to promote brazillian jiujitsu as a martial art to compete with taekwondo, wrestling, karate, etc etc. So you get a lot of people who went into those "fights" knowing that they were going to lose, prepared to lose, some even wanting to lose - and none of them with any skills to even be remotely competitive. *shrugs* different time that serves a different purpose |

Just saw this and a couple things jumped to mind: 1) That guy is a terrible wrestler. Or at least he was wrestling terribly. 2) The wrestler obviously has no idea what grappling is - which means he hasn't really been a wrestler for that long imo. A lot of things he's doing wrong are things you naturally learn as a wrestler as you progress from junior levels/starting to wrestle in high school levels. |

i also considered some of what u said as a possibility as i was watching this the other day. that's why i wanted to get a take from the guys that train on here. i remember machado also saying that rickson's reputation in brazil when he was 18 yrs old was like that of michael jordan among the BJJ community. my question for the dudes that train is, is he really leaps and bounds better than almost everybody that he can tap people out in a min or so, left and right? |

he was tapping out whole crowds when i was stationed in great lakes (chicago) in 97 not new he also was coming along when nobody really knew much about grappling he'd still be a monster but maybe some matches with today's stars would be interesting |

Gabi Garcia loses to opponent who is 70 pounds lighter than her in Abu Dhabi at the BJJ world championships. Size isn't everything, which is the philosophy behind jiu-jitsu. |

BJJ guard passing question: So there's a Brazilian guy in my BJJ club who counters my double under pass in an interesting way. As I grab his pants or whatever to control his hips and and set up the double under stack pass (or various responses to my partners response), he secures my sleeves and then laces one leg around my armand shoots it across my waist to my far hip, securing a tight hook. This immediately threatens an Americana. It also makes passing a real bitch. Now I've been breaking the sleeve grips and then trying to pass a bit like when you step out of one leg of a butterfly guard. Usually he uses the moment to separate and reset his guard. Now he's quite good at putting me in this guard, but he also isn't sure how to get through it. One other thing I talked to my instructor and he thought I should swim my arm early before he can set the lacing leg, but we found that that left me open to the triangle. Anyway I don't know if any of you have encountered this and have ideas or know videos. My Brazilian friend said it's called "embarcado" or something close to that. |
