[gutrupture]

i rate this bloke.

next step, stop drinking so much beer.

even though i am a brown belt

[shaneturner202]

This family has amazing technique, Still the best. Hope i meet them one day.

[cashmanking]

Awesome stuff, just great.

[handsomegorilla]

best mount transition video out there. i actually prefer to mount this way now, rather than flipping my base and covering my partner's field of vision.

[abiwankinobi]

Rener and Ryron are the best instructors in jiu-jitsu I've ever seen. I've trained at local places and the instructors are good. I've never met Rener or Ryron but I have all of their DVD's and I always check out their online videos, and even through these media their instruction seems so much clearer and more detailed than anything I've gotten at local gyms. I wish I lived out in Torrance so I could go the Academy and train in person. Thanks, guys.

[xmanrules2001]

I used to train with Rorion and Royce and Rickson back in the days and although Ive never trained with Renner after watching these videos of his this young man is a great teacher!

[OffspringFTW65]

@YyJoBb Really? I mean not to judge or anything, but using pro hormonal supplements to change your body may cause problems....I mean what your doing is adjusting to a new body basically, ull end up changing your game cuz ull notice those 3 inches may get in your way...i mean its not necessarily a bad thing, but ull have to adapt to it which will take time...I mean iv never looked into that stuff but good luck man, i hope theres no bad side effects haha.... Im just sayin id never take artificial

[OffspringFTW65]

@YyJoBb there are many advantages and disadvantages in jiujitsu depending on your height. The short bulky guys are so hard to triangle choke, the long lanky guys (like me) are easy to choke but I, in my opinion, have a very good guard and good triangles. thats all i work though, because im flexible. The shorter, the less space there is to re establish guard or anything..ull find the short guys are really good on side body.

[Brazilianjj]

Just made my Side control to mount that much better! thanks!

[kanguesso]

@YyJoBb It is an advantage in most combat sports if you know how to use your hight TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Your reach can go along way, both literally and figuratively. It obviously also has its disadvantages. It depends on the individual in my opinion. At the end of the day, all of us have to work with what we have.

[AceofDlamonds]

Rener is such a good explainer

[sprawlmessiah]

$65,000.00 dollar trick? That's expensive LOL!

[Mextorious]

@sprawlmessiah how did he know how much it actually costs lol

[gkdrummerboy]

I wish there were this amount of black belts to teach everywhere....

[stang4lyfe07]

submissions 101 how to do a flying armbar has 1.5 million views... and this doesnt even have 50k.... 0_o

[gkdrummerboy]

@stang4lyfe07 I think submissions 101 does a bit less talking than this lol.

[takidabossen]

it is the best mounting technique i'v seen! but i noticed one speciall weakness, and that is when you put the knee on the stomach. even tough you put your right hand out for base it can still be kind of hard to keep the base if you face a strong opponent. therefore i usually do it kinda fast.

[080luc]

Great teacher

[exiled68]

5 people couldn't avoid being mounted this way and disliked the video.

[1lostinspace]

I prefer the BJ PENN mount he used on Renzo.

[thecardmonkey]

Beautiful teaching. It reminds me of how Pedro Sauer teaches. Very detail oriented and nothing is to unimportant to mention. 

[ggevor1]

Rener has the most structured, cohesive, and clear approach to teaching jiu jitsu, which makes him a truly gifted professor.

[SCROGY]

You can tell that Renner is an excellent teacher just by his speaking skills. You don't hear any: Ummmmm.....ahhhhhhhh......hurr­rrrrrr from this guy. He knows exactly what he wants to say and puts it together very concisely. Superb!

[huntercalgary]

@SCROGY

unlike a twerp like you....geek....lol

[SCROGY]

@huntercalgary Go back to watching hockey fights loser.

[huntercalgary]

[laser1ish]

RIP GRANDMASTER HELIO

[diesel828]

Very clear and full of detail. Getting the basics and fundamentals down perfectly is the key to great jiu-jitsu. When i first started in 2001, I whined to my instructor (Caique, formerly at the Gracie Academy) that we kept doing the same stuff every week. Mount escapes, side mount escape, guard escape, defense, basic offense... I complained for months until I competed. I was amazed how strong I in technique compared to other students. Basics and a good foundation are everything.

[grsurflove]

Incredible instructor, with a ton of knowledge and enthusiasm...Rener truly brings honor to his family

[gjj8]

great tip rener thank a lot man!! your the best

[rrsd69]

hey man!!! you always explain complicated things so very simple that even the complex becomes very easy to learn. you guys are simply the best.

[JBOND168]

The Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy

[ktokash1]

Excellent detail added to my game, thanks a lot.

[buckckck]

so effectiflyxD

[luizinho81]

gracie jiu jitsu sucks!!!!!!!!!!!its unrealistic not effective against more than one or even in a real street fight mma is the way all gracies have gotten beat by true mma rener would get his assed kicked in a real fight  matt hughes rules!!!!!!

[Pallhh]

nice instruction

[cmzuppe]

umm what happens if he doesn't flatten his knee out like you instructed him to

[aoaapocalpse]

pushing your knee back will get his leg out of the way, it doesnt really matter where his leg is, but having your knee close to his knee makes it easier to do the knee elbow escape

[1lostinspace]

I love the Gracie History and I also met their grandfather lol he was showing us a guard pass and I did not get it so he slapped me in the back of the head lol.

[Scottjuliemm]

Great video... love the way you teach! 5 starts!!! Thank you

[luvit579]

awesome video, i'll try it tomorrow.

[primate4]

Renner, Ryron, the Valente brothers are awesome. I would love to train with them someday.

[sanucesMMA]

I would really like to thank the Gracies for sharing with the rest of the world unlike classical martial arts that are very secretive with their techniques.

They could have kept it for themselves and kept winning all the time.

Knowing BJJ doesn't guarantee winning, BUT not knowing BJJ very much guarantees losing.

[flameicedragon]

i really wanna go check this academy out in Miami

i live in wpb so its not that far =)

[CUNDUNDO]

this instructor is very good he puts energy

into his words and really shows commitment to jiu jitsu,I have been training jiu jitsu for several years and I must say I did not know this trick of mounting great job keep up the same good work !

[MultiJay74]

Rener,great vid this works great!!!! however,you street fight.a) you should not be worried stuck in half guard b)the guy on the bottom would bite!! you!! (in a street fight fight). Your the one who says keep it real.I love bjj i just wish more teachers would preach,bite defense in street situations.Bites happen all the time

[ciceropcs]

its a totaly diferent animal whenever ya try to compare mma.......jiu jitsu.....etc with the streets....... theres nothing that you can compare what goes in the with the streets..........

[chavamma]

I totally agree with you, great concept there! He's always saying Keep It Real, As a Judoka I keep my slef-defense real 100% all the time, I practice BJJ though I dont like the concept of starting on the floor in a real fight like you said you won't be on the floor you hit em hard, effectively & get out. MMA is just exchanging technique with your opponent so basiclly he'll always come back 2 beat you and vise versa. Nice statement there! Keep'n It Real! -Kind Regards- ChavaMMA

[TOUNICMA]

Ah... too bad they are too expensive and too far away.

[jonshultz]

Awesome as usual

[guillotinex17]

I love when he says "maybe" at like 6:50

haa

[Donpaeng]

@guillotinex17

lol. he should have removed that from the script. he knows there's always a counter to a counter. but he usually is a little hyper than usual. seems like he was on meds. haha

[twisterenvy]

Rener is a very charismatic instructor, makes me want to roll in Torrance...

[ph33ric]

if this guy wasn't a nut bag he would b a great instructor.

[rhdadrian]

dang thats crazy certified by helio himself now thats badass

[SmooveSax]

I WANT TO GET MY BLACK BELT FROM THAT ACADEMY Simply beautiful man I love jiu JItsu

[rjones775]

Question has rener ever fought in the ufc

[302BJJ]

I do this a lot to get to mount. I just never thought of it from such a technical viewpoint. Great explanation Rener. The details are sweet.

[10thplanetufowaldek]

excellent explanation !

[bertinotti]

Man, Rener, you are just an amazing, optimistic, clear thinking person. Much respect for your entire approach.

[fillosofert]

nice ass at 6:36

[pikand]

Cool!

[RodrigoVanilla93]

"Rener always sounds like he's trying to teach or sell you something."

LOL thats the reason why hes so good at teaching people!

cos hes got so much enthusiasm, so you learn better too

[raironman]

lol

[kingshahine]

he should start a course- gracie jiujitsu marketing 101

[2submit]

@kingshahine nahh no one can defeat eddie brabo at marketing

[GHRepresent]

true, the look like they always trying to sell something. so does rorian , his father. that is probably where it gets it from

[Vash1202]

They should like get a big ass fan for the Miami academy

[karpophh]

I like to see someone of these uncles in a wrangle with mas of one. Credit like arranges them.

[fitfactorytraining]

I really like this mount transition. It works very well. Thank you very much!

[bocaramsmma]

Great explanation, thanks Rener!

[Robopencil]

Rener always sounds like he's trying to teach or sell you something.

[MasterHawke]

Great explanation for the transition from side to full mount. I like how you give tips on what not to do and the reasons behind the moves.

Keep up the good work.

[6lube]

Jeez! Slow down on the coffee Rener. If this fails you could always sell used cars! LOL!

[vginawhisperer]

What happened to Technique of the Month for January-March? Did I miss something?

[dgtalcue]

Rener Gracie...what a great teacher =).

Gracie Tactics:

Position, Control and Submission

Our Motto:

Tap Out or Pass Out :-)

[shogun120]

tap, snap, or nap! ;)

[therealgeeza]

a real man gives his opponent's plenty of time to tap. snap should never happen with controlled technique!!

people tap from pain and from panic. if i can make my opponent panic tap that is suprememly more satisfying than hurting them because i got right inside their head and they will never forget my dominance. if i hurt them, they will forever try to hurt me back. i aim to tap all my opponent's AND aim to hurt none of them!!

[rodrik93]

excellent reply therealgeeza.

[TriangleJiuJitsu]

i wish more people understood that being good at jiu-jitsu has nothing to do with being a tough guy or hurting people

[waldomarek]

@TriangleJiuJitsu agreed, same goes with any martial arts... the better you get in any MA, hopefully your "MA spirit" will get better as well, as in, you know you can hurt people with your learnt skills, but is violent always necessary to 'solve' things? nope.

[BrazilianJJKid]

@TriangleJiuJitsu Yeahh

[RightWingCon81]

@TriangleJiuJitsu Nah, people want an art that takes on 6 guys at once, and you break everyone's face. They don't get that GJJ is about options. I can hold you, choke you , or REALLY hurt you even more so than ANY striking art. In fact Royce once said GJJ is better at striking than any striking art, he meant from the mount or other dominant position, and he was right.

[Manny1222]

@TriangleJiuJitsu They are great teachers. The thing about fighting and training anything physical like this you can immediately tell how the person is. There is no hiding behind punches or being a tough guy when training because then you can't learn and those around you can't learn with you either.

I have been having someone think they can put their thumb on my forehead whenever they want. I am calmer now that I KNOW I can handle with with no problem. But if I have to I will use what I know.

[Layz613]

@TriangleJiuJitsu Unfortunately, when you're a white and even blue belt being bigger and stronger often means you win.

[roberto9]

100% the BEST school of all time all next to the original 1950s Rio Branco School

[incufish]

Wow... what a great training facility.

[poserstookmyalias]

o snap i train there.

[joergus]

VERY nice.. ill go for this technique keep on ! i love the gracies

[RightWingCon81]

I was thinking the same thing about the escape when his other leg comes off the mat I'm glad he covered it. I love this guy, he's so thorough and very slow and patient with his explanations of the techniques. I'll try this in class.

[Infierno01]

tyvm for the transition ^^

[holywar911]

nice! R.I.P  ryan we all miss him

[matrix1951]

thanks !

[monji112000]

thats cool. Twister sidecontrol... so much easier to mount! If we are striking... maybe traditional sidecontrol would be better..

[nightmareofxmas]

pratice no-gi jiu jitsu

[RightWingCon81]

random

[SHates]

Brilliant!

[DeletedDelusion]

Wow, very interesting detail.

Awesome.

[w119bjk]

Good stuff as always!

Just wish your videos came out more often!

[xymaster19]
