[polymarshallium]

does any one know what this guy said in btwn 51-52 seconds?

[hummurabi2010]

Your not allowed to grab clothing in NO GI bjj...

[SoNyK961]

great

[80feetjump]

how you doin, lmfao

[RabidxPanda]

i never thought i would be favoriting an expert video upload

[TheAngrySensei]

Nice transition.The heel strike to the cup @0:30 was pretty slick too.

[Alcapwned88]

@TheAngrySensei You can hear it

[blueaperising]

nice sweep thanks.

[ORVX]

thank god that dam transcript was not over the top of the screen.

[WhiteMagicEnygma]

thats hot but it seems to depend on counting on Ur opponent to do a few things and U have to predict, Im not reallh wording that right but basically it takes a LOT of thinking fast on Ur feet,...or butt lol

[LilShaggy82]

i really like how he said "dont use this in mma" i would hate to see some one try this thinking it would work unless it was a wrestling or grapling match

[ph33ric]

faggot

[toddd04]

This is perfect for MMA, grappling not as much maybe. It works good for both grappling and MMA. More MMA because people are more likely to stack up on you. In a grappling match People try to keep all of their weight on you. I tried this and it worked perfectly!

[jezzon2376]

my first instinct if i had a guy grabbing my leg and pulling it toward his head would be to finish what he started by pulling my other leg towards his head and getting the mount

[viator22]

Something has gone horribly wrong if you can get mount from the x guard. He's using his hooks on the other leg to split the legs and unbalance the opponent. As a transitional sweeping position, X guard is money.

[716Jitsu]

@viator22 money

[HaloHogan1]

I did this to a guy on the dance floor at a nightclub. He never saw it coming...

[EskasoniBoy]

yeah i think so too,, but that one time will be worth it, this sweep is insane!

[MrRugbyNZ]

i think this is a once in a lifetime takedown

[KidMilly]

@MrRugbyNZ lol tell that to jacare

[Beatyofeet32]

lmao @ mbessette22

[oshenwolf]

definitely not for mma. grapppling yes but not mma

dont use this if its mma  you could get punched alot... alot alot

[mcgalati]

i feel like if someone tries this on me, im not gonna just give him my left leg to move around.

[702decatur]

That really depends.. If you are going down there to punch him you are not defending the sweep and will get swept.

[oshenwolf]

i highly doubt that this will work. even not defending the sweep the for him to see you working to his leg like that it would be a small chance, also in real speed the window for this move in mma would be very very very small

[ConicalRamirez]

this sweep does work. the x guard when used correctly is an really horrible place to be, it can take your balance completely. when u have it on, your opponent will sometimes step over your head to try and escape and then this is where this sweep comes into play.

[akaelisher]

eres un pendejo si crees que lo puedes hacer pleando a menos de que lo hagas con tu hermana o algun familiar

[808kokua]

das not fancy.

[IBinatree]

i would punch the guy inthe face if he trys to sweep me like that

[boonedfg]

he clearly said not to use in mma. he said grappling and gym cause yea.. you would get punched in the face :P

[mbessette22]

Never thought to grab the shorts,nicely done Charlie....by the way guys, this does work, you just have to be very good, like Charlie. If ur an unbeliever n00b, and you fist yourself, then it's probably not gonna work. So end the fisting thing, and start being good.

[BufuX]

you have to be insanely fast to pull this off or the other person has to be insanely stupid

[camdadydizle]

lol that wud never work in a real mma fight half these videos r bull shit

[MagicManBake1]

he has to do it so slow ur dumbass can understand it. in a real fight hes not gonna take his time like this shit happens quick.

[camdadydizle]

no fucking shit he does it slow u stupid fagit but the guy isnt walk over him with his legs unless hes a complete retard hes gona keep his legs away before he even has a chance to set that up so that wud only maybe work if u were going against someone who had no experience in mma at all

[MagicManBake1]

lol you think ur such a hard ass talking all this shit behind ur computer screen all you are is a window warrior think ur tough shit. he does it slow and lets his partner step over like that so if that opportunity is there you know what to do with it you useless fuck. go turn off ur computer and do everyone a favor. you were a broken condom you piece of shit.

[camdadydizle]

lol talking all this shit? i said 1 thing directed at u dumb fuck apparently u ahve nothing better to do then chirp on youtube im talking about the video ur a fuckin loser, kno wut ur talking about before u say shit u stupid fagit

[MagicManBake1]

haha yeah dude keep cussin your ass off see where it gets you. telling me i "chirp" on youtube youre the one who left a dumbass comment. if you dont like the video just dont even comment on it. do everyone a favor and save us both time from reading your shitty comments. and i know what im talking about you stupid bitch all my words are directed at you.

[biglittlejujitsuman]

he did say dont use it in mma fool

[jackvaxx2100]

you clearly dont know anything about the sport.

[MrEsperado]

x guard is nice but also difficult..

[kakashilecopieur]

la perso j y croi pas trop:(

[cacaboy900]

what if he sits on ur balls

[jakonnn]

at first i thought you were dumb

but good call he could totally fall right on your nuts

and it would feel really shitty

[bkd24]

haahah

[ljuarez714]

is this guy just making shit up or what, seems like most of his videos he is just winging it and making shit up.

[levenzaha]

go try rolling with him and see what happens

[IMnotSAS]

karate all the way, husssh!!!!!

[roach3300]

muy bueno

[brottarnacke]

Well, the mentioned hooks + you controlling his legs with your hands prevent him from walking away. Then just grab him around the waist and pull him down backwards.

If he has his weight forward however, it is often better to grab and pull him by the ankles and push off with your knees, taking him down on his face instead. Then take his back from the top.

[WhatYouLookinAtXD]

These look like sex positions... 2/5

[Aerofire]

It doesn't seem sexual when you're struggling for oxygen and blood flow to your brain.

[JayMan99892]

@Aerofire thats not a good feeling.

[jmil147]

haha he totally popped leon in the cup when he put the hook in the first time...listen

[Obeyprogress]

What does he say at the end don't what...?

[iplayelectricguitar]

Don't use it in MMA

[5tapl3r]

Sorry for my inexperience, but why shouldnt you use it in mma? it looks like a great transition to me.

[mozillaff717]

I see a major problem, at 00:26 he can fall back and easily rip some of your tendons.

[jmil147]

r u serious

[brottarnacke]

What do you mean?

[acquiesce100]

There are too many of these "fancy" techniques. Stick to the basics and master the 36 techniques laid out by the Gracie family for self defence in a real fight.

[acquiesce100]

Yeah Id bite the shit out of you if you tried that, Id go insane with elbows liker a sledgehammer

[jaidingo]

Yeah looks kinda useless. Dont see much use cept for a BBJ match. In MMA dont think you would see this

[brottarnacke]

It's more useful in MMA than one might think. Striking while in someones x-guard might seem like a great idea, but the thing is, your balance will be f****ed UP if you end up there. He will keep you off balance all the time and if you try to hit him, you will be swept.

It is also a great position to go for leg locks from. Go watch a few Masakazu Imanari fights and you'll know what I mean.

[aven24]

im sorry thats a fantasy move...delusional...thats an improvised fuck up, not a fixed move that can work

[mctapout187]

YOU LEFT YOUR FACE WIDE OPEND

[Colombianfunk]

Thats why he said don't use this for MMA. You're right X-guard is very rarely used if at all in MMA.

[bfb1115]

seems to be an utterly useless move, he could simply drop his weight at any moment to stop the move

[NAPALMJUNKY]

This is a great move against a boxer or brawler. The last thing they want to do is go to ground against a submission specialist like Gracie. Every move has a very SPECIFIC application. Besides if you attack first the guy wont have time to drop his weight. It's an attacking move from a defensive position.

[bfb1115]

that makes sense

[Andy2stomp]

finally someone that knows his shit lol

[seedman411]

thats a nice move, i never seen it before

[Fuku2hoe]

lol he said "i'll sink in the rear naked and if i can ill get a hook in" Never ever try to get a rear naked choke without the hooks in, its pointless they will just spin around and end up in your guard.

[Slik1030]

true dat. my coach would beat me if i tried that..lol

[brottarnacke]

Be careful with your "nevers" please.

I've had several brazilian BJJ black belts, including Leozinho Vieira teach going for the RNC directly as he falls and THEN going for the hooks while in this position.

The butterfly hooks control him long enough to get the RNC and while he defends that, it's easier to get the hooks for back mount.

[Apoktite]

beautiful

[BabyBlueIceman]

yea cuz this move wont be almost impossible to pull off in a real match it's cool and all but that kinda move is only gona work on a scrub

[BJJALLDAYNIG]

in mma you will hardly ever see this but in BJJ competition ive seen it pulled off on high level competitors. In a real fight however your gonna prob get stomped if you try this and dont do it perfect

[rustynail77]

only problem is that you can't "grab the shorts" in grappling

[xKingSamoax]

that shit is nice

[xxxxtrememma]

for the most part good vids keep it up

[ForMyMalice]

haha the guy in the green shirt always looks super pissed off

[fightfan1093]

chill andrew there are different names for guards and stuff.

[admbjj]

thats the x guard dude

[andrew7913]

x gaurd? u guys dunno wat u guys r talkin about thats a butterfly gaurd

[jiujitsuphd]

nope... he starts in the butterfly guard but when he puts his leg behind his knee, his other leg on his hip, and grabs the opposite leg... thats the x guard.

[sirzig]

that's right
