Every wanted 25 minutes of useless info about jiu jitsu. No? Too bad! The Jiu Jitsu Iceberg Enjoy! My insta: / jedi_himself Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=69222594&u...
Gordeau bit Royce in ‘93 and lost. Then blinds Yuki and loses in ‘95. As a result Jedi correctly wipes Gordeau’s Dutch heritage and makes him French. Bravo, sir 🫡
@@yn5568 thank you, Nakai was a Kosen guy. there's so much misinformation out there, especially revolving around Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (especially Gracies)
That Yuki Nakai vs Gordeau fight happened during the event that the Rickson Gracie documentary "Choke" was filmed. Yuki had three fights that night. The eye gouge from Gordeau happened in the first fight. He went on to defeat his second opponent Pittman, again much, much larger via armbar. He lost to Rickson in his third fight of the night. Yoki Nakai is a legend!
Rickson knew what happened with his eye and felt bad for Yuki, so when they fought he he didn't punch him in the face, just using his grappling technique to win
@@lrodrigues7488 I know! Rickson's team was telling him not to take it easy and to press his advantage. Despite the encouragement he did not cause further injury to Yuki. It was this moment that the respect that I have for Rickson solidified.
As an older jujitsu player ,I grew up watching VHS tapes in the early 2000,s so I was lucky to see or at least hear/read about most of these things unfold .I have to say impressed with your knowledge on the history of the sport and your video is pretty much on point .Keep up the good work .
@@jedidoesjiujitsu3177 you know what was also funny the time caio terra one his match and said he wanted to prove that you can win without the steroids 🤣. Btw am from Trinidad and Tobago and I will be at your seminar next year in Tobago ..boom 🤯
im a simple man, i see a jedi does jits video i immediately watch it. PS : After watching it - amazing video as always, successfully managed to outline pretty much all of the saucy stuff one needs to know
Thank you so much for putting the work in for this project. This was classic Jedi content we love. Please never stop. The sport is growing and you will grow with it. You have a voice in the community and with stuff like this you’re making killer moves
A good thing to add would be about the Japanese ju jutsu death matches from 1800. These matches would be so intense the competitors would write goodbye letters to their family incase they never came back. The more you read into it seems like that's where the early gracie challenge/bjj format comes from.
Really enjoyed this entire video! As someone who's been practicing a bit over a year now, this information just makes me want to train. Love the long form video and how you kept things fresh the entire way, always love to see you trying something new!
One day when you remake this video, you should add four fights to the bottom level: Helio soneca vs Megaton Diaz, both 1 and 2. Two high level world champions. Renzo Gracie vs Eugenio Tadeo. Major no-holds-barred showdown in Brazil between rival clans and styles, BJJ and Luta Livre. Fight resulted in actual violence and rioting. Rickson vs Hugo Duarte on the beach in Brazil. This fight and the fight between Renzo and Tadeo were the pinnacles of the BJJ vs Luta war.
Very cool. Loved this! I didn’t know all the cool deep dive stuff having only been around the jitsu game for a few years now. Grats on the NAGA belt, that’s impressive.
As I'm new in bbj I'm training alot each week focusing on closed guard as I'm forcing closed guard sparring to learn it deeper as jumping into sparring only knowing a few positions at the beginning was alot harder to find success. Learning everything I have inside the closed guard for me has been so fun and intresting. Its my style for now and it's 1 dimensional but it's getting better and it's helped tremendously at understanding the game itself as its so deeply rooted.
Man you have to be a different kind of badass like Yuki Nakai get eyegouged and still continue to fight and win the match. you literally cant see out of 1 eye jesus
Great video idea, haven’t watched whole thing yet so apologies if explained, but: In addition to details about Gordeau blinding Nakai in one eye, I’d also say that, although Nakai went on to become godfather of BJJ in Japan with Paraestra dojos, at the time of Choke Nakai had nothing to do with BJJ and was a pure shootwrestler with a Kosen judo background.. Losing to Rickson then inspired his BJJ journey.
Am I tripping or wasn't Jiu Jitsu started in Japan around 1460 & the earliest recorded use of the word “Jiu-Jitsu” happened in 1532 & is coined by Hisamori Tenenuchi, when he officially established the first school of Jiu-Jitsu in Japan? Also, wasn't Brazilian jiu-jitsu initially developed in the 1920s by Brazilian brothers Carlos, Oswaldo, Gastão Jr., George, and Hélio Gracie, after Carlos was taught jiu-jitsu by a travelling Japanese judoka, Mitsuyo Maeda? So how can it be 69 years ago? What am I missing?
Actually at the first UFC event there were hand picked fighters and no one invited wrestlers(there was a sumo wrestler) or Judokas for some reason... I wonder why...
@@alexanderpaskal1387 A lot of places don't let you roll for the first week or two until they see you know break falls and other basics, and can restrain yourself and won't kick someone in the face
You missed the Capoeira influence on Gracie Jiu Jitsu and the Gracie challenges and rivalry with other grapplers and fighters in Brazil. I don't think many people outside Brazil know this.
What gym do you train at dude? You remind me of the crowd I used to roll with in London and I'd train with you in a heartbeat but I moved to NorCal and I didn't find anywhere that felt like I could make it home. I'm guessing you're a socal boy.
masahiko kimura fought helio gracie and submitted him with a move that would later be trade marked by helio as the "kimura lock" however this was to save face for the gracie clan, the kimura lock already had a name in catch wrestling.. the double wrist lock. this move from helio worked as he walked away with his reputation fully intact and then added the move to the gjj moveset.
Well said. Kimura also trained as a Pro Wrestler. Which in those days there were legit Catch Wrestlers like Billy Robinson and Karl Gotch. Gotch was Judo Gene Le Bell's Catch Wrestling Coach. My understanding, is that Judo, back in the days of Kimura, lacked proper ground work, as it was very limited. Both Kimura and Gene Le Bell had the trade mark of Catch Wrestling added to their style of Judo.
@@1_Bad_Z kimura was a wrestling by name, not a judoka primarily this was another way for helio to save face for gjj, not admitting catch wrestling was superior, only that he was a mult sport athlete better at a specific hold basically.
@@ophiuchus5613 i get what you're saying. Are you familiar with Catch Wrestler Ad Santel and his bouts with Judo stylist? Maybe we can see a future video.
@@1_Bad_Z one of the goats, and it would be really cool to see a video on catch, sadly its an art thats dying out quickly. and most practitioners gatekeep it from the public, unlike bjj for example. I do catch at a local gym with only like 10 people in it, i love the sport, and imo is superior to bjj but is falling out of style.
@@ophiuchus5613 yup exactly. I've also trained in Catch under Raul Ramirez from Catch Wrestling Alliance in Southern California. Prior to that back in 2008; I would watch Tony Chechin on RU-vid and would apply the holds @ a Judo Club during open sparring sessions.
