Andre Galvao Vs. Eduardo Telles

[edwardokessler]

is that josh barnett in the black shirt standing up talking under the basketball hoop later in the fight?

[luchador1764]

To all the turtle haters out there, i say this: for self defense purposes, "position before submission" is a good motto. for mma or sport grappling purposes though, the value of a position is relative to the amount of control that you can personally impose from that position. Telles can impose alot of control from the turtle position even though it was originally labeled by the Gracies as a "bad position". A better motto for sport purposes would be "control then submission".

[Kubrickswookie]

Wtf is up with the cameraman? He's recording the fight while I am watching the ref lol

[manalotj]

Turtle Guard = haha

[RVGENomini]

GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY

[jasong13]

Have fun trying to use the "turtle guard" on the street...

[yuenj01]

@jasong13 its a sport. do you actually think normal ppl will just pull guard in a street fight or turtle up?

[jagexisthedevil]

@jasong13 You're dumb if someone goes to turtle guard it is because of being snuffed from the normal positions, which your typical street fighter will not be able to do. When I have turtle if you are not presenting downward pressure then I am going to fall to my back and play open guard which will make the fight neutral. You give street fighters way too much credit they tend to be irascible people and fight viscerally, people like that fighting Martial Artists and defeating them is piffle.

[crabbit87]

@jasong13 have fun using any guard on the street.

[diogogoldteam]

Além de excelente lutador, o Telles é uma pessoa extraordinária. Já treinei com ele e sei que o cara é de mais.

[idstool]

Andre Galvão e Eduardo Telles são monstros do Jiu Jitsu. Hoje eu fiz um rola com o Telles e posso dizer com total autonomia: Não é para qualquer um finalizar um atleta como ele. E digo mais: se em 2008 a guarda dele já era chatíssima, vcs precisam ver agora!

[chesterfieldking]

masterful.

[SuperSneakySteve]

Turtle style will get your ass beat in a street fight!

[drwang100]

@SuperSneakySteve if telles fight in the street he gone kick your ass , watch eduardo telles vs. rafael el sapo

[jagexisthedevil]

@SuperSneakySteve Who are you again? What are your accolades in Martial Arts? Exactly you are a troll and your opinion on this subject is worth null. A street fighter could not get a BJJ practicioner to turtle your typical street fighter is retarded. You say turtle is a position that is detrimental but it's not like you understand any position in the BJJ system so no one will take your feeble-minded opinion into consideration.

[holdyerground1]

Didn't they use to train together at TT?

[Armbar4you]

@holdyerground1 Yes he did, so I was wondering the same thing as to why they fought? Seemed like in Galvaos new book to have good feelings towards Telles.

[rommelcs79]

he's better when he doesn't play defensively.

[edgarsilvasurf]

nossa esses caras fazem jiu jistu em q pais nao sabem quem é o galvao e o teles pow é melhor mudar de esporte porq nao tentam a peteca ou o frescobol porq de jiu jitsu nao entendem nada

[sambadepacone]

Olha só, sou só marrom ainda aprendendo, mas sinceramente não entendi a técnica do lutador de preto, uma escolha infeliz de combate, muito infeliz. O pessoal que criticou não está errado não.

Talvez tenham comentado de forma pejorativa e isso irritou outras pessoas.

Mas o fato, analisando secamente, o jogo escolhido pelo atleta de quimono preto foi um jogo ruim do começo ao fim.

Desculpe, e como eu disse ainda estou aprendendo.

[domingos79]

@sambadepacone O Telles tem uma guarda muito chata e o jogo dele é esse e é muito eficaz. Apenas o Galvão conseguiu anular bem esse jogo.

[dougbit]

@sambadepacone Ninguém entende esse jogo do Telles. Mas se vc já viu ele em competições, sabe q esse jogo funciona contra atletas de alto nivel. Eu também não entendo, mas sei que com ele funciona...O André Galvão soube anular esse jogo. Mas não é pra qualquer um

[cavalhero1]

Galera, tem muita gente falando merda mesmo...conheci o André Galvão quando veio visitar Brasília, o cara tem uma técnica absurda...fez rola com todos da academia e tava inteiro no final. Ele ainda era marrom...imagina agora. Rola de preta é assim...ninguém pode abrir brecha nenhuma!! Só se vê rola muito movimentado até faixa azul...depois é dar mole numa gola...num braço...e já era...foi o que rolou nessa luta! Salve salve Galiza!!!

[lukao0]

o pessoal nem sabe o que ta comentando aqui !!! duas feras do jiu jitsu, faixas preta de elite ... hahahaha

[crystalnrich]

Didn't Telles used to be his coach?

[domingos79]

@crystalnrich More or less. Telles used to be Terere's associate at the academy and Terere used to be Galvao's coach.

[bjjartist]

@crystalnrich yes

[crystalnrich]

@bjjartist ok, two different answers now. haha Thanks.

[moonrider99]

this was a really boring match... :(

[imahksdu]

is that daniel charles pereira refing? and was the gracie barra hong kong team at the match?

[sacihead]

É engraçado a quantidade de babaquices que postam só para aparecer ou querer dizer que é graduado (muitos invejam quando "poucos"lutadores se tonam top conquistando seu lugar ao sol) Telles e Galvão sempre foram parceiros, foi uma luta de tom recreativo Galvão entregaria a luta e Telles não queria que ele entregasse valorizando o pupilo "Um treino entre amigos e uma ponte para Galvão" "R. Cabeça"

[emerson20051972]

Olha não sei quando foi essa luta, mas pra luta de faixa preta os dois estão horriveis...comentendo erros técnicos gritantes. Luta horrorosa, conheço faixas amarelas que fazem lutas muito mais técnicas...um horror

[mezzokgjj]

Vc lutou um campeonato de jiu jitsu na sua vida?

Sabe que em o Andrea Galvao e o Eduardo Telles?

[drevis86]

Na moral. que luta merda e essa.. faixa preta ? porra ate faixa branca da gracie ta melhor q esses 2 lixos!

[joacco87]

that was a excibition, if really was there a medal things have been diferent

[crystalnrich]

Yes, they would both be out for blood.

[JSHEIFETZ]

@drevis86 Na moral, você é quem deve ser faixa branca. Esses dois caras são muito bons, e o Telles é famosíssimo por seus ataques da guarda tartaruga.

[amendez7449]

eduardo telles is nuts, that turtle guard is some crazy shit

[rafaquebras]

Esse Telle é muito fraco, ele é faixa azul ainda??? Coitado...

[kbcaoguns]

toma otario, seu jogo é muito feioo!

andré galvão é foda!

[saqueto]

passo carro

anotaram a placa?!

[dan1paredes]

Galvao got his belt from terere.

[bigooo62]

the are team mates they got there blackbelts from valente

[H8machine888]

Pedro Valente?

[txspider35]

Carlos Valente

[cyclissmo]

Telles has phenomenal skill, I don't understand why he insists on fighting from the turtle all the time.

[crystalnrich]

He has good attacks from there.

[aper3221bitch]

I totally agree. He has a good turtle no doubt, but that does not mean it should be his go to position. He should only use the turtle when forced to and try to use other dominant positions.

[baelthedemon]

@aper3221bitch he puts his money where his mouth is.

[aper3221bitch]

@baelthedemon What???

[baelthedemon]

@aper3221bitch He is known for the master of turtle guard and octobus guard and he does it in every fight.

[aper3221bitch]

@baelthedemon  Thats great buddy......

[lkjhijojouh]

there were many times where they could have won the match with just simple submissions, and there was no attempt to even try to do them

[bobpinto2]

passou o tremm

[RemainsOfTheUndead]

Andre Galvao is damn good but in no means is he humble! Telles on the other hand is a top notch dude. Always calm and humble!

[pett1977]

cara esse joguinho do Telles é chato pra caralho

tem um mulek na cadimia q joga assim tb, é um saco!!!!!!!!

[chicagoknowledge]

This was a classic matchup!! Very nice

[stevemarce1988]

Sode-Guruma-Jime

[Demordio666]

Telles used to be Galvão's teacher, when he was not a black belt yet .

[vincespell]

Even when he was a blackbelt he was still trained by Telles although Galvao is Terere student but Telles and Terere were the co owners of the school before they parted ways!

[pookafay]

these guys are best friends I doubt they were going 100 %, but it was very entertaining. Telles seemed to lose his concentration for just a sec and thats all it takes when playing turtle. Lmao trillo telles fought mma ans won.he did'nt use the turtle he took the guy down and armbar'd him. So he fights well enough, but he knows in sport bjj his best postion is turtle.

[billysue2]

why would they not go 100%,its not mma and they should be professional enough to give their best effort anyway.

[roberto3331]

in bjj. its a waiting game, sometimes. depends on oppenents.

[swolebjj]

hello! thanks for the video, would you happen to have galvao's other matches from that day. Galvao vs Ikuta?

[blown383]

Nice! Galvao had a pretty good strategy...tried to roll or flatten out Telles but resorted to snagging the choke first and getting the hooks afterwards. I've rolled a few times with Galvao and he's a beast!

-B

[KrishnaMegatron]

Hey, where did you roll w/Andre? I've always wanted to get a chance to train w/him.

[kingkongtiger]

He visited the gym I trained in for 1 time

[bethklice]

Man! Galvao was alllll over him. What a brute.  Nice.

[lukesatoru]

I was so busy taking photos, thank you so much for recording this one. It was a great match and a definite hilite of the weekend.

[lijiang7]

Thank you Geeza...

It was simply awesome to witness in person.

And by the way, you're pretty much a living legend your goodself ;-)

[therealgeeza]

That was a superb fight and well filmed.  Thank you for posting this. Great match between two BJJ living legends. Galvao has been on a tear!!!!

[lijiang7]

People,

Telles plays turtle guard its true. In this blaclbelt mini-tournament Telles tapped out the other blackbelts he faced, but when he met Galvao he resorted to his 'bread and butter' - the turtle guard. And Galvao, being the absolute master he is, had a plan. Peep the 'reverse ezekiel' choke at the end. Galvao put a brilliant submission on Telles effectively shutting down his most famed and skilled position. Woot! *snuggles BJJ :)

[lagook]

@lijiang7 turtled vs roger didnt go so well

[havocya]

if you knew anything about jiu jitsu you'd know that Telles and that he always plays the turtle guard. this is sport jiu jitsu and the turtle position is really powerful (eg. he wins a lot of fights). bjj for mma is totally different and please stop acting like you know anything and that telles gives bjj a bad rap b/c it makes you look ridiculous. if you can't decern the difference between sport and mma bjj than you are a moron.

[TrilloJiujitsu]

I can't believe this guy gave his back for a full 6 minutes!!?? WTF is this sport jiujitsu coming to............ Guys like these are the ones giving jiujitsu a bad rap, especially when they attempt a real fight.
