Marcelo Garcia Series 2, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Arm Drags

[sad18240]

The only thing i don't like about these techniques is that they are for tournament BJJ and not real life street fight BJJ

[kanguesso]

@sad18240 Oh you're wrong dude, You can use that same exact move in No Gi BJJ or "real life street fight BJJ" just as smoothly as you can in Tournament BJJ. I have done it myself. And you can do it from many different positions too. It is only a simple arm drag technique it is not as if he was performing a cross collar choke where you need a Gi or some sort of a heavy jacket or something.

arm drag aê, pra quem ta iniciando agora esse golpe faz a diferrença no começo do rala.

leverage is less important in WRESTLING

because there is no submission!

However in SAMBO,CATCH as CATCH CAN and BJJ (All the submission wrestling) leverage is important!

Positions are not for point only ,but for submission!

In GRECO_ROMAIN,the leverage is more

important than in FREESTYLE!

[malucousa]

No! ! I'm Brazlian. you're  ashamed for Brasil. You dumb punk!!!!

[tigersharkbunashi]

thanks !

[rustynail77]

At first i thought using arm drag with gi is way harder than no gi because the opponent can keep control of you by just grabbing cloth. im trying this anyway, i love using armdrag to get on the back.

[karelin275]

First of all, that is assuming that cburcinc even knows what he is talking about. Just because someone makes a generalized reference "olympic wrestlers" that implies that only high level wrestlers use this grip. I think it is a matter of preference and or situation that dictates that and not a wrestling/jui-jitsu thing. higher in the armpit you have more control of the opp upper body and can use this to keep them close/hip to hip like in a greco-roman tie.

[karelin275]

but if you want to bring the arm across their body to attack the legs or isolate a particular side of your opponent you are probably better off controlling the tricep. I'm sure there are other reasons, but I still think preference, situation, and objectives dictate there uses.

I don't speak english and I want yours fuck!

hahahahahah

I'm Brazilian.hahahahah

sou brasileiro. hahahahaha

vão se lascar bando de gringo.

[saratoul]

because its jiu jistu not wrestling dumbass

[cburcinc]

why does Marcello recommend grabbing just above the posterior elbow, rather than way up high in the triceps (the way Olympic champion wrestlers often do) ?

thanks !

[crwv]

leverage maybe? Jiu jitsu is more centered on leverage whereas wrestling moves are often strength based.

[karelin275]

explain how leverage is less important in wrestling.

[crwv]

its a moot point. The opponents arm is better able to resist a grab against the armpit than against the bottom of the upper arm near the elbow; the leverage is better for the person attempting the move.

why they don't do that in wrestling i haven't a clue.

[Godsmasher22]

The armpit in wrestling is used because it is actually much harder to resist the drag than if you were to just grap at the humerus, and the wrist grap is next to uselss while standing or without the gi. With the gi more possiblities arise, as the number of grips you can use to attack increase. This grip is an excellent attack for gi fighting, where as when he does this without a gi he does, if memory serves, use the armpit grip.. It is a more secure no gi grip.

[sabakimsg]

@crwv wrestling moves us leverage too!

[98284460]

garcia is a great fighter. one of the bests in our days at the world.

[Nisp]

Fuck that Marcelo is better than Roger P4P!

[vincespell]

Terere has bested Marcelo as much as Roger has. Terere has beaten Garcia twice in one year. First by points by taking his back and the second by submission in the finals of the 2003 world championships via triangle choke, it was masterfully done.

[Plimp73]

Roger Gracie outweighs Garcia by about 30-40 pounds.

[crwv]

60-70. Roger grapples at 220-225, Marcelo is a LW.

[armand005]

GARCIA is a CHAIN SAW ,nobody stand his way,GI or no GI.

THAT is NOT a QUESTION; It is a PROBLEM for everybody

but HIM.I like JAKARE too.
