saku is too smart and open mentally....the gracies focalized too much on takes down and trying to grappling...but saku is a skilled wrestler so plays the same game
The Gracie family turn a match into a vendetta. I believe they've been taught to fight with overpowering anger and hate for their opponent. That's notwhat martial arts is about. They've turned martial arts into thuggery. And man they look stupid when they are outclassed and end up just holding onto a part of the opponent's body like a wimpy kid.
Gracie Jiu Jitsu is heavily overrated....is same as Judo but with main focus on 'ne waza' and one-on-one combat.
In the land of blind people one eye is king....
+ i always found it a very cowardly way of fighting in sports and would not not recommend it for self defense...imagine going down to ground with your opponent and the person has some friends backing him up while you're pinned on the ground!? just silly...great marketing though ;)
Prankration and Greco Roman theory is all bullshit. It all started with Vale Tudo and the Gracie Challenge. Where the Gracies claimed that Juijitsu could beat any martial arts. And that was the first MMA event. The first UFC.
The Kimura that Sakubura uses that broke Gracies arm isnt catch wrestling. Its named after a Jiujitsu practitioner. Thats why dont see Sakubura revolutionizing martial arts, but instead the Gracies.
@Lordofthenipplerings It's called a double wrist lock in catch, and it was called that long before the Gracies named it after the Judoka who broke Helio's arm.
@wanderlei83 Its taken from Kimura and Jiujitsu. Catch wrestling simply took Jiujitsu techniques that already been proven in MMA and decided to brand it as one of their own. Thats why there were no catch wrestlers in the original ufc. And why it was started by the Gracie clan.
@Lordofthenipplerings Just a simple google of the phrase 'double wrist lock' produces photographs of Earl Liederman performing the move in his 1920's instuctional book, the move is shown on ancient Greek artifacts. I agree BJJ practioners are superior grapplers, but the move existed long before it was called a Kimura.
@wanderlei83 Thats total bullshit. There was no catch wrestling in these original competitions. Guys like Sakuraba simply witnessed BJJ and decided to copy the style and use it themselves. Gracie's first ufc fight was in 1993. Sakuraba got to fight him in 2000. Almost ten years later after everyone had witnessed BJJ.
@Lordofthenipplerings Great argument. I heard the Gracies invented punching, low-kicks, single leg takedowns, German-suplexes Big Macs and the Internet too but are cruelly cheated out of their rightful place in history by shameless imitators acting after 1993.
@Lordofthenipplerings you realize Sakuraba was taught by Catch Wrestling Master Billy Robinson around the same time the UFC was started. Catch has been around centuries longer than GJJ. Even Kimura the last man to defeat a Gracie prior to Saku crosstrained in Catch Wrestling with Robinson's training partner Karl Gotch.
@panther2552 catch is a joke. Most of these guys are students of BJJ and simply adopted BJJ techniques as their own. Thats why UFC began as the Gracie challenge. And why Sakuraba uses BJJ submissions in almost all his fights.
@Lordofthenipplerings lol Catch wrestling is submission wrestling. It's been around longer than any Gracie knew anything about Japanese Jiu Jitsu. It was GJJ that adopted some Catch tehcniques including the rolling double wristlock aka rolling kimura. Submissions have been around a couple milenia now Gracie's only started learning Jiu Jitsu in the early 1900s.
@panther2552 Dont kid yourself. This talk about catch wrestling and pancrase is all revisionism. If they were so good, they would have been the ones beating strikers and grapplers left and right. But in reality, it was BJJ that revolutionized the sport and then copy cats who try to use historical fiction to claim they had always known.
@Lordofthenipplerings revisionist history eh? something like Royce and the UFC saying his was undefeated in MMA when he was fighting Matt Hughe's? after he had already lost to Sakuraba and Yoshida in Pride Fc. And btw Great strikers were getting beaten by Grapplers all the time well before UFC. just ask Bas Rutten and Semi Schilt about their early days in Pancrase.
@panther2552 There were rules against striking in pancrase. You couldnt throw punches, knees, or elbows. Gracie revolutionized the sport by fighting anyone under no rules conditions, and won. People saw this, incorporated BJJ into their styles, and thus why he and his family revolutionized the sport.
@Lordofthenipplerings punches where thrown. but they were open palm strikes. Knees and elbows were illegal because of the cut factor. these fighters fought every couple of weeks. kicks and open palm strikes were legal striking. The Gracie family only made it popular in the states. the rest of the world learned about submission arts through Catch Wrestling, Sambo, Luta Livre and of course Judo
@panther2552 Thats why they werent real striking. They couldnt strike with closed fists which was fundamental. Knees and elbows were illegal thus it wasnt real striking. There were wrestlers all over the world that challenged the Gracies, and they lost. took them years to incorporate BJJ into their art before they could beat them.
@Lordofthenipplerings Just to know my friend this is originaly called Ude Garami in BJJ they just call it Kimura because Kimura used Ude Grarami to break Helio's arm. And if you are a serious martial artist you would know thats this techic was used in Ancient Greek Pankration. And of course it may has even more ancient roots but the Pankration was the first martial arts with specific technicues.
@apostolosguitar Pankration is archaic. Its has no influence on the Kimura. The only real influence pankration would have is on grecoroman and freestyle wrestling. This whole pankration thing only came into existence because of BJJ. And then every style tries to copy BJJ and of course tries to take credit for it.
@Lordofthenipplerings Are you kidding me ? Pankration was known here in Greece even in the 1880s there are written books from that period! Bjj is just a system wich focuses in ground techincs just came from judo and the traditional jiu jitsu wich is of course japanese , try to find out what real pankration was and how many moves belong to its period.There are many good enough videos in the youtube i can send you some in a personal msg.
@apostolosguitar There is still very little pankration or none at all in MMA. Today, MMA is mainly inspired BJJ. Thats where the modern inspiration is derived from. Everything else is hindsight.
@Lordofthenipplerings Yes thats because of promotion , we were talking about a technic wich just havent invented in bjj to tell the truth nothing have been invented in Bjj only a system , not technics , techincs are just physics and human body mechanics thats simple there is no new birth just an evolution in tactics and not even to these... To finnishthis conversation I have respect to the Bjj tactics but nothing new techically invented totally nothing proven with facts.
@apostolosguitar BJJ is an offshoot of Japanese Jiujitsu. But it was the Gracies who turned it into the most influential style today. It wasnt Judo or Jiujitsu that was challenging all martial arts styles and claiming it could win. It was the Gracies who did that. Most Judo or Jiujitsu guys would take a punch to the face or a knee to the nose and call it quits. Gracies showed the globe that so long as they were persistent about that submission, they would win. Until everyone began adopting BJJ
@Lordofthenipplerings well as I can see a Japanese guy smashed the whole family..and even kimura smashed the father of Bjj who i have much respect. Gracie just sell something nothing more , they sell it to you , they are a company who promote their tactics nothing more my friend. If you want you payd if and you get it that simple.Just dont forget most of the gracies are black belts in judo too ;) and dont be so sure that a judoka or a jiujitsu fighter is so easy to get...
@apostolosguitar But that was years after the Gracies showed off BJJ to the world. By then, Royce had already suffered his first non-win back in 1995 because people were already incorporating BJJ into their systems. If you watch the fight closely between Sak and Royce. Sakuraba actually tapped and gave up, but Royce and the ref chose to ignore it. People like Sakuraba became what they are because of the Gracies. By installing BJJ into their art.
@Lordofthenipplerings Ιt is true that he did something like fake tap. But the truth is that Sakuraba was superior to all of them even in the next fight Royce won but he was found positive in steriods and he was banned for 6months. I believe that dominating the whole family makes you something you dont need something more. Anyway the difference between us is that you are talking as a Bjj fighter and me as a Judoka. Keep on good work.
@apostolosguitar It was a real tap. Sak had already given up. If it was a fake tap, that just makes him a cheater. The fight continued because Royce refused to let go and decided to continue grappling him on the ground. The refs ignored it too. So its Royce's fault for being overly aggressive. The fight dragged on, Royce ran out of gas and lost. Sakuraba was stronger and Roy came back by resorting to steroids. A common tale in MMA. Royce was 170 natural. He bulked up to 188 with steroids.
@Lordofthenipplerings And just for the record you told ''But that was years after the Gracies showed off BJJ to the world." if you are talking about the punches and kicks , you are not right the atemi waza is in Judo classes from ever if you do real judo if you do just Olympic one it is in the Kata. In the Jiu Jitsu its everywhere and i am not talking about Bjj , jiu jitsu had always kicks and punches.
@Lordofthenipplerings Sakura never studied BJJ, bjj was not even invented by the gracies, the japanese fighters were already trained in judo, jiu jitsu, shoot and catch wrestling along with striking arts like karate and kick boxing, the gracies were not prepared for that, they thought their art was their best and that is why many japanese fighters gave them an ass whooping
@AmericanAztec915 Sakuraba and the rest of Japan were heavily influenced by the Gracies. They were the ones who introduced Pride FC and Vale Tudo to Japan. They saw how BJJ was beating everyone when it first debuted. And they quickly copied that style of Jujitsu into their art.
@Lordofthenipplerings There are many dojos out there who just dont need to compite in TV tournaments because they dont need to promote their art and tactics its just as simple as that :)
@Lordofthenipplerings for your information althought just search for atemi waza and you ll find out that jiu jitsu and judo have kicks and punches and anything too... i dont know why you thing they dont maybe you dont have good dojos there and they just show the olympic view of judo. Judo and jiujitsu is a whole system where you can build from it unlimited tactics , thats what Helio undestood and took advantage!
@Lordofthenipplerings And dont get confused pankration was not only wrestling. I can send you some links of great history books you can buy and find out many things about it from the ancient greek writtings about the technics it used etc. And about the tecnchic its called Ude Garami its not kimura that invented its in every traditional japanese jiu jitsu and of course judo too if i remember right in the exams for the blue belt
Sakuraba is a great fighter, no doubt, is among the greats. He began his career as well. In the last battles, has not had much success. Royce Gracie won battles against giants and became a world reference. undefeated for 13 fights! In addition, contributed to the creation of the UFC. The two fighters have their names in the history of MMA. Sakuraba, besides great fighter, a sportsman with the human spirit. Supported one of the brothers of Royce when he broke his arm at the end of the fight
Sakuraba é um grande lutador, sem duvida, esta entre os grandes. Iniciou sua carreira bem. Nos ultimos combates, não teve muito sucesso. Royce Gracie ganhou lutas contra gigantes e se tornou uma referencia mundial. invicto por 13 lutas ! Alem disso,contribuiu para a criação da UFC. Os 2 lutadores tem seus nomes na historia do MMA. Sakuraba, alem de grande lutador, é um desportista com espirito humano. Apoiou um dos irmaos de Royce quando quebrou o braço ao final da luta
In all honesty and with all dew respect, I have never been overly impressed with the Gracies'. Don't get me wrong they are great martial artists, I just don't think they are as great as everyone thinks. Royce is the only one, it seems, to have made any major accomplishments, and don't get me started on Rickson. They seem to be full of excuses every time they lose, and Royce had to resort to steroids in order to beat the families greatest foe, Sakuraba.
the royce graice fight was pretty brutal when he started to work on his legs they sounded like pieces of wood cracking. he is so good at defending the take down. he is able to counter everything they throw at him. they end up on the back hoping he jumps on them
@Machampion100 bjj a joke? dude without their would be no mma today their would still be assholes who think their bruce lee and shit, kind of like steven segal
@draakmanz You are obviously Gracie's butt-buddy so I won't insult your boyfriend anymore. It's so cute that you are defending your boyfriend. I hope you both live happily ever after :) Faggot
What I find most entertaining about Sakuraba is that he doesn't give a shit how legendary, experienced or skilled his opponent is. He just goes out there and romps on you.
If the bjj guys have never trained in catch then you can't comment. I've had the pleasure of training in both, and am fortunate enough to be doing a seminar with Billy Robinson this month. Catch is a different animal to bjj. Great as bjj is it beats about the bush, catch is direct and brutal, and the finishing holds are 10 times more painful. If you don't like what I said then fine, go train in catch and see for yourself.
With Sakuraba the BJJ showed his limits, it's very efficient if the opponent doesn't know about that style but if you can't go on the floor you get fucked up.
@jaimebahia yes a 24 year old Ralek won a decision over a 41 year old Sakuraba. Though Royce's win is very disputable. It's technically a victory because at the time the CASC had no rule for changing decisions to no contests. Remember Royce tested positive for using steroids for that fight and was suspended for the remainder of his fighting license.
UFC was started by the Gracies and setup so Royce would win, then when the true fighters around the world heard, they challenged and put them in their places. Gracies are best at one thing... laying flat on their backs.
@lgadwords That's not true. When the UFC was setup MMA did not exist only martial art vs martial art. That's why he won. He proved that BJJ dominated against other martial arts. Rickson was dominating in japan during the same time. Then MMA developed 3 or 4 years later and that's why he lost because not only did they understand bjj but they know how to strike and grapple.
@sublime2744 MMA did exist before the UFC in Pancrase in Japan and Sakuraba never trained in BJJ/GJJ. He is a Catch as Can Catch wrestler. a form of submission wrestling that been around centuries longer than gracie Jiu Jitsu and is derived from Pancratian (greek wrestling). Sakuraba was taught by Billy Robinson in the Snake Pit in Japan. Saku did however dominate Carlson Gracie students such as Conan Silviera and Vitor Belfort. He drew with Alan Goes. If you don't know. don't lie.
@panther2552 thank you for being alive longer than UFC and having enough sense to formulate a sentence......oh and for Loving the greatest fighter of all time Sakuraba........PLUR
@panther2552 sakuraba beat many BJJ fighters in the first prides and connan in ufc japan! its was such a impressive streak the gracie brang out there family! royler, royce, renzo, and rayn! but the big question would rickson gracie fight saku and he chump out! plus quinton rampage jackson, guy mezger, korean judo guy dong ill sook, and many others! the only to beat him was wanderlia silva, 3 times! but sakuraba was the grestest of all time!
@panther2552 no modern martial arts is derived from pankration it died the romans why do ppl keep saying that when there is no historical evidence to back that. it come from years of hard ass british folk wrestlers decending from german imperial military wreslting practice many instructors were jewish or christianized jews. then they came in contact wiht indian persians wrestling when the brits conquered indian and lock when they fough traditional jiujitsu figthers.
@panther2552 thats just misinformation that ppl have been using to put prestige on theri martial art when i dont see why since the fighters merits should do that you know what mean? Gecro roman boxing stopped after christinization(it use diagonal hammer strikes as power strikes scarred the face)
and anceint greco roman wreslting slowy died before the renaissance since the importance of weapon and the popularity of carrying them in public (only knight and royals did this though daggers were common amoung the commoners.) this process started since the dark ages when submission wrestling became usless and the carrying a dagger made submission fighting deadly some many wrestling methods for armor/armed and unarmged/unarmed based on throws and joint lock came about
this mainly came out of italian and german schools of combat. then when wrestling became unfavorable along with combative fencing to the upper class as their faggotry stated that things like ballet and graceful martial arts like dueling fencing were more gentlemenly. the wrestling trickled down in jouts and fairs since the middle ages so folk wrestling like irish collar and elbow and scottish back wrestling was the start of where catch comes from
the reason y certain aspect of greek martial arts can be seen catch is because ppl re invent useful things independently. thats like how absured that buddhist monk from indian invent martials in the east when the earlied forms of wrestling strenth traing and weapon can be found in bronze age china and south east asia. cuz if soldier werent doing martial arts before monks came along then i guess jacking each other off might be the other option
@corporacionmonstruo it's pretty well known after his collegiate wrestling career he wrestled for the UWFi and Kingdom pro wrestling in the Takada Dojo. All the Takado Dojo members including Sakuraba trained in Catch wrestling at Billy Robinson's snake pit. Even Kimura trained in some Catch wrestling before his fight with Helio, learning from Karl Gotch(Billy Robsionon's training partner), while he was working the pro wrestling circuit in Japan.
@panther2552 Catch wrestling is not from Pankration - it's English in origin; from Lancashire "Catch-as-catch-can" wrestling. Pretty much every ancient culture has it's own history of wrestling, not just the Greeks.
@Einarr1989 i'm just going by what Billy Robinson, Karl Gotch and other older Catch wrestlers have said in past interviews before. Also Gotta remember England doesn't have an ancient culture when compared to Greek Civilization who's influence stretched the known world of that time.
@panther2552 Well, a culture that can be termed English has existed since the Anglo-Saxon migration/invasion in the 5th century AD, before that the English lived in Denmark and North Germany where it is known that wrestling was widely practiced. They had an oral rather than literate culture, so their earliest history isn't that well known. But as I said every culture has had wrestling, and Catch is specifically from England. The confusion comes from the name of Greco (which is is infact French).
@sublime2744 Learn your history bro, you can continue defending the Gracies and although they're a great fighting family, UFC was still created by them and setup and the fighters were cherry picked for Royce. They did however started this whole MMA movement which I give them credit for but MMA did exist before UFC, fighters did train in different forms of Martial arts and now MMA has exposed many myths and effectiveness of certain styles which isn't a bad thing.
Helio Gracie must have cried the fuck lot seeing his sons getting their asses kicked, Helio was a great fighter, his sons dont get even close to his skills.
Saku did what i had hope for, to kick those Gracie's asses back to reality. Sure their Jiu Jitsu is top notch, but that dont mean they cant be submitted or knocked out. I wonder what drug they are all tripping on?
You proved my point, beating a Gracie is always an achievement, this clip name is: "Sakuraba vs The Gracie's" then we should have seen Sakuraba loose as well.
@shmany11 it wasn't shown because this was made long before that fight took place. just read the upload date. reckon they could have showed the 2nd fight with royce, then again that was still a loss for the Gracie's because of Royce's steroid suspension.
saku is too smart and open mentally....the gracies focalized too much on takes down and trying to grappling...but saku is a skilled wrestler so plays the same game

The fight dragged on, Royce ran out of gas and lost. Sakuraba was stronger and Roy came back by resorting to steroids. A common tale in MMA. Royce was 170 natural. He bulked up to 188 with steroids.

@Lordofthenipplerings And just for the record you told ''But that was years after the Gracies showed off BJJ to the world." if you are talking about the punches and kicks , you are not right the atemi waza is in Judo classes from ever if you do real judo if you do just Olympic one it is in the Kata. In the Jiu Jitsu its everywhere and i am not talking about Bjj , jiu jitsu had always kicks and punches.

@Lordofthenipplerings Sakura never studied BJJ, bjj was not even invented by the gracies, the japanese fighters were already trained in judo, jiu jitsu, shoot and catch wrestling along with striking arts like karate and kick boxing, the gracies were not prepared for that, they thought their art was their best and that is why many japanese fighters gave them an ass whooping
AmericanAztec915 23 hours ago
@AmericanAztec915 Sakuraba and the rest of Japan were heavily influenced by the Gracies. They were the ones who introduced Pride FC and Vale Tudo to Japan. They saw how BJJ was beating everyone when it first debuted. And they quickly copied that style of Jujitsu into their art.

@Lordofthenipplerings for your information althought just search for atemi waza and you ll find out that jiu jitsu and judo have kicks and punches and anything too... i dont know why you thing they dont maybe you dont have good dojos there and they just show the olympic view of judo. Judo and jiujitsu is a whole system where you can build from it unlimited tactics , thats what Helio undestood and took advantage!

Sakuraba is a great fighter, no doubt, is among the greats. He began his career as well. In the last battles, has not had much success. Royce Gracie won battles against giants and became a world reference. undefeated for 13 fights! In addition, contributed to the creation of the UFC. The two fighters have their names in the history of MMA. Sakuraba, besides great fighter, a sportsman with the human spirit. Supported one of the brothers of Royce when he broke his arm at the end of the fight

Sakuraba é um grande lutador, sem duvida, esta entre os grandes. Iniciou sua carreira bem. Nos ultimos combates, não teve muito sucesso. Royce Gracie ganhou lutas contra gigantes e se tornou uma referencia mundial. invicto por 13 lutas ! Alem disso,contribuiu para a criação da UFC. Os 2 lutadores tem seus nomes na historia do MMA. Sakuraba, alem de grande lutador, é um desportista com espirito humano. Apoiou um dos irmaos de Royce quando quebrou o braço ao final da luta

In all honesty and with all dew respect, I have never been overly impressed with the Gracies'. Don't get me wrong they are great martial artists, I just don't think they are as great as everyone thinks. Royce is the only one, it seems, to have made any major accomplishments, and don't get me started on Rickson. They seem to be full of excuses every time they lose, and Royce had to resort to steroids in order to beat the families greatest foe, Sakuraba.

If the bjj guys have never trained in catch then you can't comment. I've had the pleasure of training in both, and am fortunate enough to be doing a seminar with Billy Robinson this month. Catch is a different animal to bjj. Great as bjj is it beats about the bush, catch is direct and brutal, and the finishing holds are 10 times more painful. If you don't like what I said then fine, go train in catch and see for yourself.

@jaimebahia yes a 24 year old Ralek won a decision over a 41 year old Sakuraba. Though Royce's win is very disputable. It's technically a victory because at the time the CASC had no rule for changing decisions to no contests. Remember Royce tested positive for using steroids for that fight and was suspended for the remainder of his fighting license.

@lgadwords That's not true. When the UFC was setup MMA did not exist only martial art vs martial art. That's why he won. He proved that BJJ dominated against other martial arts. Rickson was dominating in japan during the same time. Then MMA developed 3 or 4 years later and that's why he lost because not only did they understand bjj but they know how to strike and grapple.
sublime2744 6 months ago
@sublime2744 MMA did exist before the UFC in Pancrase in Japan and Sakuraba never trained in BJJ/GJJ. He is a Catch as Can Catch wrestler. a form of submission wrestling that been around centuries longer than gracie Jiu Jitsu and is derived from Pancratian (greek wrestling). Sakuraba was taught by Billy Robinson in the Snake Pit in Japan. Saku did however dominate Carlson Gracie students such as Conan Silviera and Vitor Belfort. He drew with Alan Goes. If you don't know. don't lie.

kaindrg 4 months ago
and anceint greco roman wreslting slowy died before the renaissance since the importance of weapon and the popularity of carrying them in public (only knight and royals did this though daggers were common amoung the commoners.) this process started since the dark ages when submission wrestling became usless and the carrying a dagger made submission fighting deadly some many wrestling methods for armor/armed and unarmged/unarmed based on throws and joint lock came about
kaindrg 4 months ago
this mainly came out of italian and german schools of combat. then when wrestling became unfavorable along with combative fencing to the upper class as their faggotry stated that things like ballet and graceful martial arts like dueling fencing were more gentlemenly. the wrestling trickled down in jouts and fairs since the middle ages so folk wrestling like irish collar and elbow and scottish back wrestling was the start of where catch comes from
kaindrg 4 months ago
the reason y certain aspect of greek martial arts can be seen catch is because ppl re invent useful things independently. thats like how absured that buddhist monk from indian invent martials in the east when the earlied forms of wrestling strenth traing and weapon can be found in bronze age china and south east asia. cuz if soldier werent doing martial arts before monks came along then i guess jacking each other off might be the other option

@panther2552 Catch wrestling is not from Pankration - it's English in origin; from Lancashire "Catch-as-catch-can" wrestling. Pretty much every ancient culture has it's own history of wrestling, not just the Greeks.
Einarr1989 3 months ago
@Einarr1989 i'm just going by what Billy Robinson, Karl Gotch and other older Catch wrestlers have said in past interviews before. Also Gotta remember England doesn't have an ancient culture when compared to Greek Civilization who's influence stretched the known world of that time.
panther2552 3 months ago
@panther2552 Well, a culture that can be termed English has existed since the Anglo-Saxon migration/invasion in the 5th century AD, before that the English lived in Denmark and North Germany where it is known that wrestling was widely practiced. They had an oral rather than literate culture, so their earliest history isn't that well known. But as I said every culture has had wrestling, and Catch is specifically from England. The confusion comes from the name of Greco (which is is infact French).
Einarr1989 3 months ago
@sublime2744 Learn your history bro, you can continue defending the Gracies and although they're a great fighting family, UFC was still created by them and setup and the fighters were cherry picked for Royce. They did however started this whole MMA movement which I give them credit for but MMA did exist before UFC, fighters did train in different forms of Martial arts and now MMA has exposed many myths and effectiveness of certain styles which isn't a bad thing.
