Me rolling with Marcelo Garcia

[TheSlevinCalevra]

0:35 Just rolls his over like a mother putting baby to bed. Marcelo is incredible.

[bboyestilo]

Bro that was great to see! Keep doing what you are doing :)

[reecemtM]

wish i didnt live at the bottom of the world and so far away from the awsome instructors

[reecemtM]

so nice of him not to just demolish you haha must be a super dude to learn from, new zealand is so far away from NY beta get saving

[reecemtM]

[Danpatriot1]

I had the opportunity to roll with Garcia at a seminar but didn't as I didn't want to look foolish. I regret not doing it as he will slow down to a pace just above yours so you can learn from him.  He can make most black belts look like they just started whenever he wants. Orlando, nice job especially for a blue belt. I would have figured you were a purple from your technique. Good job!

[Fupper16]

0:19 - 0:21: Marcelo thinks, "Did he just make a mistake? Yes he did! Rear Naked, here I come!" *BAM

[ES131189]

you passed his halfguard once! very nice

[danpats1]

3:00 rape choke

[danpats1]

what an honor

[jobowtackmasterx]

this guy is a white belt in my standards.

[heedokush]

this guy is an alien in jiu jitsu

[iwanttofight69]

how much did this cost u bro

[JKT6]

Does Marcelo speak english now?

[oyeguey]

anyone can walk into his gym and roll with him? Great effort by the way!

[MrBlowies]

@oyeguey Oye-no mames guey! This was at a seminar probably. I'm sure you could join his gym and you could roll with him there though.

[oyeguey]

@MrBlowies - LOL the " no mames " part was funny. In canada, no one knows what " guey " means. LOL

[poopalover]

oh, you are a blue belt and he still makes you look like one of the kids from the "special" class.

[SelttikS]

@poopalover Marcelo makes black belts look like one of the kids from the "special" class

[marlboronegro]

You Both are good figther!, good technique!, is the black t-shirt guy a purple or a black belt?

Gracias

[smeadazz]

@marlboronegro its marcello garcia! probably the best Blackbelt in the world :P

[khazal12]

@marlboronegro hes a high high level black belt and he was just playing around with him. marcelo garcia is one of the best grapplers in the world, he was just going easy so that the other guy could learn rather than get constantly beaten.

[poopalover]

@marlboronegro you should be ashamed of yourself, go stand in the corner and have a word with yourself until the end of the lesson

[marlboronegro]

@poopalover  Why Sr.?

[poopalover]

@marlboronegro no idea, i wrote it 5 months ago.

[MrBlowies]

jesus his sweep from half guard to your back was beautiful. amazing.

[jaymont1984]

@MrBlowies it looked almost like an x-guard sweep didn't it? maybe it was like a half and half thing he made up =)

[MrBlowies]

@jaymont1984 Yeah, i forgot what it was called, i think like half butterfly guard or something. One of my purple belt buddies got that down pretty well. I'm trying it out, it takes a lot of practice and you get burned a lot at first!

Marcelo Garcia is unreal!

[MegaHitman666]

MARCELO is fantastique;

Wish,he had a dojo in CANADA.

[therage001]

what a privilege, to roll with one of the greatest. i hope i one day have this privilege myself, and i also hope he takes it dam easy on me!! lol

[joebeast15]

he seems like a cool guy too

[mmagamer4life]

no shame man he does that to evryone

[ReverendNovember]

You should change the title to 'Me Getting Rolled by Marcello Garcia'

Anyway, thanks for the vid.

[TheBlack9999]

how does he take everyones back so effortlesly

[rubberguardman]

@ shmagmiepen:

Of course he let him! They were simply slow rolling! It wasn't a real match! Use your head man!

[shmagmiepen]

he let you get out of so much. this dude is insane

[Chainhealer]

lol same ankle pick at 0:04 and 0:51.

[monkfg]

Wow, so effortless.

[Londam71]

you racist bitch!

[rocha110]

when i passed there, i made marcelo tap 7 times... hahahaiuaauauahahauhauahauh

[thefugitive1965]

good vid.

[PPdabest]

Nice vid man!

[orlando76]

He was telling me to fight off the choke harder, and that I should have jumped to the other side to defend it.

[alfredtink]

what was he saying to you after he gave one of his famous chokes

[hamidismail]

DAMN IT! U rolled with MARCELO GARCIA?? Damn! Damn! Damn! I'm jealous with you bro! regardless u got submitted or not by him, you are 1 lucky person bro. He's my idol! Wish I were u there

[lolll666]

it's not really anything. it's just the name of eddie's school.  he has a different preference of moves which he has lined out in his books, and when people say "10th planet JJ" they are referring to those moves and the ones that eddie's students post on youtube. the general game is a tight, slow, clinching game both on top and bottom

[Kranio]

And you all gotta believe that because the world class champ lolll666 of bjj said so.

[nirvana2465]

thanks for posting, its really interesting to see the interaction with us "normal" bjj grapplers and the world-class champs

[dimi887]

The dude rolling with Garcia has a good knowledge of BJJ. Don't get it twisted

[monoforraptunes]

hes rolling with the best grappler in the world,what the fuck do u expect jackass?

[thekoda]

anyone saying this guy sucks should take a second and realize that he's rolling the marcelo garcia

[Etrician55]

lol he got ure back EASILY

[Austin19]

How observant of you.. it's a learning experience, anytime you get the opportunity to roll with someone that good. They can see what positions you've having trouble with and put you in the right place to work on it. I love how they make it look so easy.

[RoadhunterUK]

Marcelo is monster on the mat

[fifthythreetwenty]

Eddie Bravo has already said that he wouldn't be able to show Marcelo anything. Eddie has nothing but respect for Marcelo, just watch Eddie talk about marcelo

[blizakebowman]

Marcelo is probably the nicest guy I've ever met in my life. My third or fourth day at Top Team, he came and sat next to me and asked "you want to be my friend..no one likes to hang out with me?" and started laughing. he then proceeded to spin me like a pizza using only his feet.

[caussabon]

cool!!!! envy you so much : ) greetings from Poland

[Katsuya89]

Thats awesome. Yeah, all thoughs guys at ATT r really nice, especially Ricardo Liborio. When I used to train there everyone used to call me Sakuraba-San cause im Japanese n coach Liborio could had a tough time pronouncing my name.

[Fupper16]

Why doesn't Marcelo learn 10th planet JiuJisu?

And don't THUMBS DOWN, i'm not dissin marcelo i know he's the best grappler in the world. Im just asking an honest question!

[verdolagation]

Why would he??? if he's the best grappler in the world then maybe he doesnt need that shit... Plus 10th planet jiu jitsu will sometimes take away ur hip movement... Marcelo is all about that

[akume325]

i love eddie bravo and think he's definitely brought something to the realm of No-Gi. but seriously, his only claim to fame is beating royler, that's it. check royler's resume. for someone who comes from the traditional gi training that eddie talks down about, he's sure won a lot of ADCC championships.

[jdawgzilla117]

His only claim to fame, when you train for 5 years earn a brown belt and tap out a life long BJJ practicioner and son of the founder of the system I think you can claim a lot of fame

[akume325]

he didn't win the tournament is my point. everyone is going to get tapped at some point. no one in jiu jitsu is a god.

[thekoda]

marcelo is damn close to it

[joebeast15]

actually he had been training for nine years buddy, and Royler was dominating that match and simply got caught. Not taking anything away from Bravo it was one hell of a win, but its not the same as taking someone down, passing their guard, taking their back and then submitting them, its the same as a boxer getting a lucky knockout.

[HCGHollywood]

No disrespect to Eddie Bravo, but he doesn't have anything to show Marcelo that he doesn't already do better.

[10thplanetsoldier]

dude i'm jealous. i would kill to roll with marcelo. that's the shit bro..... he looked like he was going easy on you.... :D

[carnalphilosopher]

lol @ how he takes the guy's back off the twister half guard pass at ~30 sec

[Austin19]

Twister guard pass? Just because he's facing his hips as he's trying to pass doesn't make it a twister guard pass..

[carnalphilosopher]

We call that the twister pass at our school.

[Fupper16]

10th planet jiu jitsu is, in a nutshell, abandonment of the conventional guard to a new, more efficient guard called the rubber guard. When using the rubber guard, many new sweeps and positions come into play where there wasn't before, making it a much more dynamic and flexible guard. Search Submissions101 on youtube; they have a ton of rubber guard stuff

[verdolagation]

New more efficient gaurd??? No no no my friend... Its just another type of gaurd it has its pros and cons... I rather use the conventional gaurd, but the sweeps and setups from halfr gaurd from 10th JJ

[Fupper16]

Why Marcelo doesnt learn 10PJJ?

[tootandpoop06]

I don't think 10th planet is his style. I mean, if the way you grapple is that superior why try anything else?

[xkidmidnightx]

lol

eddie is marcello's bitch

[qlkgg7]

Marcelo doesn't spend much time with people in his guard. He x guards them and ends up on top most of the time.

[dehollywood]

0:38 on my lord that was a sick sweep.

[kalonjah911]

i was jus thinking the same thing, was so easy for him too

[ryl0]

awesome! how lucky you are.. marcelo is an amazing athlete and looks to be such a nice guy!

[Magnum1978]

you cant be more than a white belt then surely? You turned your back to pass his half guard, that's what happens :) But congrats you are a lucky bloke to roll with a legend.

[dickdock16]

lol....that is a move, if you noticed he (legend) adjusted his legs, and from there the person can only go three ways.1)he returns to original position2)sweep3) back, he went to back

[matwizard]

are you kidding me, this guy isnt bad, try a good blue belt or a purple belt, and there are several ways to pass the half guard there which was taught to me by three black belts, you are a douche, you cant judge a jiu jitsu practioners skill by measuring it against marcelo garcia, particularly , his sweeps, this is a guy who goes to abu dhabi and sweeps just about everyone like THEY were white belts.

[petegoyeroslin]

ya yer right , he makes most look pretty bad lol

[mt64mt64]

wat belt r u fren?

[NakedForTigers]

It all looked to be in slow motion.

[jbone488]

holy crap. too cool

[fxq520]

damn ur lucky

[live7x77]

This is my dream to roll with marcelo, can you help me. where dose he train? what school and where, ill go if i new. Thanks

[lolll666]

he has a school in coconut creek, fl. he occasionally comes to American Top Team, i've rolled with him a couple times.

[shogun120]

he also has a school in Ny city

[b0ris360]

He has a phenomenal awareness of his opponents base. Look at Garcia's sweep at 1.36 it looks so simple, you can't imagine it ever failing. Then watch his opponent try the exact same thing at 2.50 and get nowhere with it. He does stuff like that in the ADCC championships too when he's up against the world's elite. He's the best grappler I've ever seen!

[cnakm]

thats freakin awesome. that was sick how he took ur back from halfguard

[memento18poker]

i watched that transition like 10 times and still don't fully understand how he did it. That's amazing

[cnakm]

i watched it like 10 times as well! i tried it at my bjj place and i dont take the back but it sure as hell creates a scramble! make sure your half guard is a butterfly... although you probably know this, very cool man

[matwizard]

I know that was the tightest part of the video for me. im a half guard guy,..

[jacudumatu]

I rolled with Garcia once in Formiga. I think he tapped me out like 10 times in 5 minutes. And I have like 60 pounds on him

[b0ris360]

Can everyone please stop posting Marcelo Garcia stuff. It's too depressing! He highlights just how far away I am from being any good and I've been training for years!

[memento18poker]

how do you think i feel! i'm just about to start my bjj journey! :-) He and Rickson in my opinion really UNDERSTAND jj. A lot of people learn jj, but they understand it.

[ConnorTheTiger]

@b0ris360 Think of him as something even greater to work towards?

[JackiePaquito]

Did you win?

[hensuyang]

Marcelo is like a GOD !!!

[ariel671]

Amazing how easy he makes sweeps or him getting ur back look...I also see how tired you got and he's like...nothing...haha. But good roll man....I'd be honored to roll with him.

[chrisarsenault8]

Your a lucky guy

[GroundFighter]

Cool technical roll.

[orlando76]

I'm a blue belt. Thanks for the comments.

[ohareca]

I've been thinking about spending a week down there. Does Marcelo teach every night? They don't have any problems with people passing through to train, do they?

[grapplerke]

It actually looks fun getting toyed with by Marcelo Garcia. Haha.

[RightWingCon81]

@orlando76 question, when you had the lay across pass set up at 20 seconds in, did you have you arm over or under his? Just asking because I like the way he took the back there, i always get flattened if I don't get on my elbow before they lay across me.

[amutemusic]

Marcelo has a nice way of make'n everyone look like a bright white belt! LOL

Thank you for the post though and yea....

That was a nice way to get your back at the start! Simple set-up he see's it at 00:20.

You know he gets a lot of folks with that! LOL

[ohareca]

Thanks for the post, Orlando. I agree with Rob, that sweep to the back was nice. What's your rank?

[robrizob]

Good job and thanks for the vid. That move to take your back at the beginning was nuts!
