  • it was his "instant" set of technique when he started his wins. most brazilians use this tactic to quickly raise to stardom. his move? armdarg - taking the back - mata leou. same goes to another brazillian fighter that uses guillotine in japanese mma matches several years ago(forgot the name and org. he was in). back then most brazilians want to cash in on the bjj hype. but now local talent is giving thm a run for their money!

  • @shumich lol you wouldnt arm drag from full mount really, usually use the arm drag to take someones back, and yes the arm drag is used in judo newaza, just hang in there and keep training and one day things will start to click and youll understand more, love and respect

  • Does he use the arm drags on the ground? I heard like Greco-Roman wrestlers use it standing. Maybe he sets up sweeps with these armdrags from the bottom. You'd probably lose top control if you played around with an arm drag from mount or full guard. I don't know. Anybody out there know how to use the armdrag in newaza?

  • Oh god! Stop lying Marcelo! He learned the "arm-drag" before he was a white belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu :P
