How long does it take to learn MMA ?!

[askalucas411]

@akums47 idiot question 

[JVitolo]

@akums47 There's always something else to learn in MMA. Try to find a gym that teaches MMA near you...but don't expect to be fighting in less than three years.

[reallyletsdoit]

@akums47 depends on what level your talking about. Its much longer than just learning one martial art because, as im sure you know, mma ( mixed martial arts ) uses various styles....the most common of which are boxing, kick boxing, wrestling, and brazilian jiu jitsu as well as others. So as i said above it depends on what you consider " learn" to mean. You learn some math in grade school and you can say you learned how to do math but you can keeping learning more.

[VBarkeeperV]

@akums47 To fight in an actual mixed martial arts scenario I.E something like UFC it would take roughly 4 years to even truly consider it, but breaking down different components of it you could probably get away with doing it in half the time. I.E kickboxing or Jiu Jitsu, at least as far to my knowledge correct me if i am wrong someone.

[blazing636]

[juneda33]

hi prof stephan i was wondering if you are still teaching in greater van? i just moved here and would love a chance to learn from you

[lagook]

@iLuvAniime nice troll attempt but everyone knows the marines and all US forces learn bjj

[BlackLightning12345]

Very well explained, i like how you break down each phase of the moves. Keep them coming! :)

[n1kez1lla]

@iLuvAniime My brother-in-law is a drill instructor at Parris Island. MCMAP (Marine Corp Martial Arts Program), includes many Brazilian Jiu-jitsu techniques and Judo throws. Hate to break it to you, but Marines grapple.

[Shemywinks]

@iLuvAniime Also,anime.

[MadMikeXD]

Haha the Jedi's emailing you made me chuckle

[MadMikeXD]

@iLuvAniime Lol marines grapple

[pridetv]

Good stuff

[WuldMostLiklyTapThat]

FINALLY, a sweep i already knew...a milestone <3

love your videos stephan!!

[peteranelson]

Thanks Stephan!

[GBoK1LTEDK1LLERo]

does emily kwok not use this same sweep

[DBKK]

noguiera did this to jason brilz

[bangermccrusher]

this is the kind of technique that I like, simple, esy to learn and effective, thank you

[MarstaJNZ]

Nice nice

[Monoceraptor00]

Really good advice

[BradyKnight]

I learned this a while ago, but so far, it's never worked for me. Hopefully the detail you shared will be the key to making it happen. I'll also give Ryan Hall's sweep a shot, too. Thanks for the great video!

[Xaymot]

great detail



[gboyhitdaspot]

will this work with gi too?

[Chrisfallen]

@gboyhitdaspot Why wouldn't it? Most nogi techniques are applicable to both. Gi techniques don't always work across both though as your grips and control techniques are different.

[gboyhitdaspot]

@Chrisfallen Cool! Thanks!!!

[combatologist]

This is my go-to move when I'm stuck in half guard...it really works! The Jedi stuff is really cool, going to implement that concept into the sweep, thanx Stephan!

[jgn2112]

I'm brand new to BJJ, and this is no joke, but getting on this guy's mailing list and subscribing to his channel is the most helpful thing I've done to help me get off on the best possible start.

[golobock]

Dear Stephan,I just wanted to say:THANK YOU!!!

I did this in class and got it on my first try,went realy smooth!

I even dragd his knee close to me using my knees... man you ROCK!

[kingvic97]

COOL!

[Hulkmania316]

Is very important to know how to use the half guard in an offensive way. Thank you Stephan for sharing this.

[1iguerra]

why does no one ever sweep to the side that you have the leg hooked on. I mean, you already have the leg neutralized from bridging, and you can easily either a) grab the arm on the same side, or b) half the time they already do the work for you by putting their arm behind your head.

[cazz3000]

this was extremely useful, gonna use it tonight in training!

cheers, Stephan, keep up the good shit, as always!

[silatguy]

not too difficult and very applicable, thanks!

[jojox3rxql]

" it's not the force , i hate to break it to you . I don't want emails from potential Jedi's . " I love this guy . :)

[oskidbjj]

Stephan can you show Minotouro Nogueira sweep vs Tim Sylvia?Minotouro used it in a lot of fights!! THANKS GREAT VID!!!

[ATACXGYM]

This is another of a gajillion terrific tips you have in your videos Stephan and I'm going to use this idea for the Kamikaze Sweep asap. I've used a version of this tech already but the details you and Ryangle supply are of the first importance. Thanks guys.

[ruff1982]

nice!!



[TheHardout2005]

Way to use adjectives in the title! :P

[waldomarek]

great sweep, so simple yet so effective!

[beargrylls3]

this truly is amazing

[jamiegee123]

will this not hurt there face its like a strike ? i just dont want to wack a training partner

[armitage4]

@jamiegee123 you push the face with the bizeps. It should hurt less than it is annoying to your opponent and forces him to move his face sidewards. You need to push the face since thats the weakest point to attack with your right hand as seen in the video. Pushing the neck will not move the body of the opponent sidewards because the neck has more power to ressist your right hand push.

[robertgaudlitz]

i love this guy ^^
