I feel like Marcelo is a genius at breaking down subtle elements of movement and position. So many instructors are great at explaining specific techniques... but it just seems like he understands the dynamics of these positions at a deeper level.
I did get this to work tonight but you really have to pick the right moment. My opponent was putting a lot of pressure on me and he sat back for a second to try to attack my inside arm, sat up right as he was leaning back so had the momentum of his body as well. Kept driving and ended up getting him in side control. So it does work, just really situational
I’ve been doing this ever since my white belt days, and I had no idea other people did it to 😂 Training with a bunch of guys who outweigh you by 50 pounds, you learn pretty fast to not let them establish any control or you’re screwed
Marcelo is the man! Its amazing how he makes it so simple instead if over thinking it. You don't need fancy moves to be effective, just a little common sense.
This is true, my trainer did this as a reversal to me for a month and a half before I developed a counter for it. And that was to drive my head to wards his head/shoulder.
Awesome, I prefer this escape to the elbow escape. I often hear from my training partners that when I execute these techniques it works because I'm strong. I love the transition to the butterfly sweep. MG is the Yoda of BJJ.
I think the thing that may be taken for granted by the teacher is that you are in fact not a fat guy and instead relatively fit and with at least moderate cardiological endurance.
They are anchored onto you and holding themselves in place. For them to take your back they have to back their weight off and get more mobile. When they do that your stiff arm helps increase the distance and allows you to reinsert your guard. Imagine it from the guy on top. Imagine trying to move to the back while being pushed outward. You would have to let off some of your counter-pressure.
Just started training again and having a ridiculous hard time to escape side control. It's so frustrating, when im on top, ppl just roll me around, bench me up, do whatever they want, it's like im a feather. When im on the bottom, its like a building is on top of me and i have no strength to create any space with any of the arms. Their arm pits are stronger than my fucking legs so i cant create hip space either. Its a boomer man
Yes it does work, he would not be one of the best grapplers in the world if he relied on speed and athleticism. Black belts just know how to use all the little details in every move to make it seem easier than it is.
Why are you scared to be physical? Speed (aka TIMING) and athleticism are huge parts of grappling. You will never be the best bjj practitioner you can be if you think u can simply technique and leverage your way out of everything. Real talk: there's a reason why old dudes with encyclopedic technique can't fuck with the athletic beasts you see in elite bjj competition. The sooner you let go your romantic notions not having to use "strength", the sooner you will progress.
+elise p no the real answer is in the video, do it befor they settle and get pressure on you. it is all in the timing. do it as they get a grip control on you but befor they settle in, nothing works once you are pinned, you have to time your escapes, either befor the pin or as they let up on the pin and look to transition or submit
you would use your collar tie and forearm across his face/chin to keep the same idea going also if you push on the triceps the situp escape works the exact same
I'm 190 lbs I'm strong, I can handle a lot of ppl bigger an stronger but whenever I'm rolling with a higher level belt an the person is 300+ lbs they pass my gaurd an just sit on me in side control. will this sweep work vs ppl like that, anyone have success with this while versing the big chubbys. an if there are any other sweeps that could helP lmk that'd be tight.
+Stuntsandtricking I'm 250 lbs and strong, but I sure as hell wouldn't enjoy being in higher belt 300+ pounders side control. Does that happen much? I am one of the larger mammals I know lol. Of course I run into fatties, but not all that often heh. All kidding aside, i'm seriously looking forward to trying this technique out tonight. MG is the man.
Carlson Gracie, an nah I usually don't have a problem unless it's like one of those super heavy dudes, an there's only like two at my gym, the heaviest one isn't bad cuz he's pretty slow and lazy, but there's one dude who's like my height but he prolly like 300lbs no bullshit, but he's also strong and faster cuz he's smaller an can move when he has to so when he trys to pass my gaurd it's fast aswell as strong an lot's of pressure, I gotta prolly get used to moving out the way more, but this works I was using it the other night an was working better then expected. Lyk how it works on the big guy tho.
If this hasnt worked for you, heres what i have to say. Anything you learn on the internet about jiu jitsu or martial arts you have to focus on it and drill it to understand the minute nuisances of the tecnique. You might get lucky “trying” it but using it successfully in comp without practice… good luck.
Great sport Jiujitsu techniques, unfortunately this is why he had his face pounded in when he tried MMA. Same happened to Saulo Ribiero another sport guy.
I not athletic nor fast. And I use this. You create momentum with your legs. Lift them up. Then swing them down. But midway, you flex like an L. And you will come up. It works easier the closer the person is to your waist. Or if the person on top is sitting with his legs like a scarfhold. I usually reverse people with this
