no technique is punch proof unless you can do it v full resistance consistently,that pressure makes it effective.The lack of resistance and in person testing makes the belt worthless.I was placing in no gi and amateur mma comps as a white belt against purple belts and to think a belt from helio gracies grandkids can be gotten by doing a grappling kata is laughable.
I agree with you for the most part, their belts are easily achieved. Yes belts can be a joke most times. If it weren't for my background in combat judo (shodan) currently, I'd feel useless with their online course.
straight blast gym is an association run by matt thornton a machado black belt through chris hauter.There are vids on youtube about the 3 I method etc.The gracie combatatives may be fine after they start sparring but the blue belt is too easily passed.I certainly agree that many bjj clubs need to wake up and train against a striking sparring partner.
after they can actually do the tech without resistance which should be very soon.Resistance should increase gradually starting easy.Look at SBGs instructional method.They have it right.People could get a combat blue belt and still be useless under pressure,the belt is a joke in that case and online testing allows that.Rorian is a liar and moneygrabber.Hes alienated every other gracie.
the sample gradings show opponents feeding agreed upon attacks at half speed without intention.Also they dont attempt to stop the defense or fight through it.Thats what people mean by resistance.Its pussified.Ive doing sub grappling for 4 years with 5 yrs judo before that and 17 years tkd,boxing and some thai before that.Youll find very few bjj coaches who agree with online testing but all agree the material is tight.
yeah,i followed it from the start and even bought the set but having seen the sample gradings i wouldnt wear a grade they gave me.Theres no resistance at all,Iads might not be able to do it at all under pressure.Only in person gradings with certified instructors should be allowed,the rest is a money racket since they know there will be thousands of wannbees only delighted to hand over the money for a fake belt.
best bjj coach ive seen,so clear,concise and enthusaistic.The online grading thing is a bit of a joke however,I cant imagine whod actually wear an online belt .i wouldnt.
well at the academy its in person and the coaches can feel if youre doing it properly by partnering you.However,if theres no resistance then the academy belt is worthless also.One explanation is that the academy views the blue belt as a very basic level,as I assume they spar after that.
great technique ! I noticed that if you turn your head so you are facing his armpit the choke is uncomfortable but it is not going to choke you out. ....adding that to this technique would be my escape for now! :)
very nice breakdown of the technique and I'm glad you shared it with us. Like Rener Gracie said "It may save your life" I like how he is always keeping it real. Lots of props from New York
Love your videos guys. I've learned a lot from you and submissions101. Although your videos are in more detail I would rather you show more techniques. One thing I was a wondering about was the punch-block series. Please for a future videos could you show us that technique. Thank you! I actually live in Torrance and might come to the academy soon.
Rener, fantastic brother!!

They did show this -- although it's not on youtube. Here's one link:
community(dot)trainingforwarriors(dot)com(slash)kickapps(slash)_Ryron-Rener-defend-punches-from-bottom(slash)video(slash)87592(slash)6152.html
replace the (dot) and (slash) in the url with dots and slashes, of course...
