Anderson Silva Submits Legendary Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 6th Degree Black Belt Ricardo De La Riva 

Still no competition if they were really going at it u freaking clown Goshhh

exactly except the video title implies that silva out right beat him - when bother are giving about 1/3 of their energy

right?! its not a competition its a chance to roll with a legend and also show him some of your art at the same time.

Well fucking said man! Goddamn. I saluted in real life when I finished reading that.

SIlva's kimora set up was so sick though.

That looked like pure play to me. There wasn't tensed muscle in sight. It was just an old master and a respectful young(-ish) gun having some lighthearted fun. My understanding is that RDLR is more of a technical pioneer than a competitive powerhouse anyway. Silva's hamming shows that it wasn't remotely a serious encounter.

they are flow rolling at like 30 percent.....

+okezumi stuff u are a good troll

+okezumi stuff U sentence show that u doesnt know enough. About the video : Beatifull way to roll without using weight or force. Straight to the technic!

You guys realize it's an sparring roll right? None of you can take master De La Riva, even tho he is 50 years old now. Just come to Rio de Janeiro and test it for your selfs.

Right on

Aaron F you learn alot more rolling like this, than competitive rolling

I hear ya. Unfortunately I roll like that. I have a really tight pressure top game and its hard for me to go light when Im not quick enough to keep up with the speedy guys. Only option I have is to lock down.

i have the same problem, people want to fight to the death in training...

yes i have competed and won, but we are talking about practice.

+mrco74 i died at your comment 😂

He does. I've been to the real training. We don't allow filming and De La Riva teaches him what is the real Jiu-Jitsu

Syclone PK because he let him two him. you can tell they are playing.

Heefa! Joe Hogan! lol

these guys prolly smoke heefer

Daniel Andrews Lol..Joe Joe..why du u smoke d heefer??

😂😂😂👌🏼

27 time champ

+Dan Cevidanes Agreed.... Silva has been training with DLR for a little bit now, and would never truly go after him in that way...

Isn't it pitiful that you even have to tell someone that they weren't rolling hard at all? I mean, how can anyone look at this video and conclude that this was a serious competition? Same people that thought Rousey was destroying men based on playful or light sparring RU-vid videos I guess. Wow.

love jits Oss!!!!

Sabe De You're an idiot.

LOL. And you know Bjj right? You think Anderson Silva would have cranked a kimura on his fifty something master during a clearly friendly sparring? He tapped because they were playing around. This whole roll was all a slow, playful roll with no competitivity whatsoever.

Madmac79 ya they were playing, obviously. That kimura was locked (playfully)

hes a great person alright,have yo seen the news lately about his behaviour.

Clem Johnson just wrist ride and jump over the opposite side of the wrist you are holding.

+Tony Shorting They are doing what is called a 50/50 roll. You don't go full out. What you do is practice the movements and technique. It's really helpful when you want to learn a series of moves or as you get older. The cool thing about BJJ is each move, can move in to another move. You can lead someone down a path of no return, where every movement they make you already know and they only have that move and it leads to their submission. It's human chess. In order to chain moves together, the 50/50 helps you learn and it's also a cool way to spar with someone... you get injured way less and as you get older and it prevents injuries. You don't always have to go all out young buck :)

+Robert C. Christian 50/50 roll you made that up ? lol

respeezy No, it's what we do in higher levels of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Most do it without speaking... I don't know what others call it, but that's the term I use and many higher levels do it. I'm a purple belt going for brown and we do it all the time. The better you get, it seems the less strength/quickness you tend to use and the more technique you practice. You also put yourself in worse positions to see if you can survive and thrive.

Robert C. Christian How about flow rolling?

+Tony Shorting so true, he let Anderson move two steps ahead

In Muay Thai we call it "Light Sparring", We should call it Light Rolling in BJJ

I've dislocated my thumb, separated both shoulders and almost blew out my knee within 10 classes. Sparring hard from a non experience aspect is pointless, for not only technical reasons but aswell as injury from lack of knowledge on positioning. martial art w/ rules n a controlled environment isn't realistic, it has absolutely nothing to do with being soft. After a horrible start , i decided to train myself by watching from the bench. And after 5 months of watching and studying from youtube, I came back and shocked people. Some would ask "You should actually be a blue belt." I only got 26 classes in?!?! It has nothing to do with being weaker, pride is a problem. I laughed a couple weeks ago when this 230 pound dude actually thought he could scramble with my instructor, not only did he fail within seconds but the guy got hurt in the process - since he had no clue about positioning. Sparring is the main cause of quitters at the early stage , because too many injuries occur within a month. It's about being smart with your time. Not everyone wants to train for street or tournaments. I'm not against hard sparring but to make it a habit is rediculous. This one guy in the class is known for sparring hard and thats the reason he's made little improvement since i last sparred with him coming off my hiatus.

They're just playing

De la riva doesn't need a gi lol. Its literally foot positioning

No, he is 51 and when he goes for real, he takes a lot of young black belts for nothing. Don't underestimate him, trust me...

+respeezy He was apparently never all that athletic even as a younger man, which was part of the reason why he was forced to really develop his open guard game with the DLR hook, because it was hard for him to break people down and keep them in his closed guard.

He is not seriously rolling man. I know when he rolls for real... Belive me, you prefer he didn't.

BJJ Spotlight hmm kind of hard to believe after this footage, but ok.

respeezy moron

Uh at 210 he gave his back like he isnt trying dude

the translator you used fucked everything you said up

Crooked Defense I'm glad that you said this. Because I'm about to shoot my English teacher with a nail gun.

Dizzy Makavelli dont do it

lol

Nico Montinola I can promise you that this 92 year old man can break your bones with no effort.

That old man a tap yo ass out

+Sean Rowland It's pretty common for sparring partners to go light on you, gives you a confidence boost before your fight.

Without BJJ Bravo would be nobody. He can't say anything about any Brazilian.

+Georgiaftw So you are probably his son... Lol

Why is that

Andre N But Eddie has allways been respectful towards BJJ, you should watch him talk to Ricson gracie about the rubber guard he is so respectful ...

On a flat earth? 🌎

What. He gives two fucks what u think of him.

Jamie Chambers He walks on eggshells as people crowd around him.

+bruce lee lol thats exactly how silva is. he's humble

+bruce lee You see life in a strange way.

Robert C. Christian Thank you that's interesting and yes, I do. life is strange. people are strange
