@barrettokarate If you doubt me, ask Roger Gracie, he uses the Basics all the time...;) Until Purple Belt you´re ok in Newaza and ground self defense , from there it´s just sport and I´m ok with that. i just don´t buy the Gracie Propaganda. PS : Noticed the bunch of guys around them...now imagine this outside an nightclub with some friends around...Major Soccer/Field Goal kicks training into place LOL
@barrettokarate "Training is one thing, actually having someone wanting to punch your face off is another" So where does all those crazy new guards and awkward BJJ new moves we see in nowadays competitions come in to real life application ?! Ohhh that´s right...they don´t!! Basics Work...the rest is Competion bullsh*t !
@HeavyMetalHearted For years people have been saying how bad Ralek looked in this video, but he was only 14 or 15 (not even a blue belt yet) when this fight took place and it was probably his first one. We can’t expect someone even a Gracie to look impressive in their first fight. Training is one thing, actually having someone wanting to punch your face off is another. He was probably nervous as hell at the time.
He's definitely not the same fighter now, that he was then.
So this is how the Rorion Gracie Bros conceived the Bullyproof program....Wooww true genious. Only Bullies to understand a Bully...;)

He's obviously not a very high level of a BJJ practitioner, but any knowledge of BJJ will help/do, obviously shown in this video.
