  • I love jiu-jitsu.

  • @alliance423 Yea he keeps the knees pinched as he flares his hip to sweep them. If your legs aren't tight enough, your hips will just rotate in space and their base won't break. That's the hardest thing about this sweep once I'm tired. I have a hard time keeping my knees tight together. The hip raise and rotate is fine, but my legs slip near the end of the night.

  • @ProfNishkamAcademy I thought the same. Awesome sweep but you might get DQ'd

  • This may sound like a dumb question but would this be considered reaping the knee for people not in expert division?

  • @kanguesso

    those are a buch of options from there of course. mg is just showing us more options. it is like saying "y go for a triangle from guard when you can go for an armbar" ... its just more options

  • Very cool sweep.Just a quick question, does anyone know if he is pinching the knees together the whole time when he does that sweep around the 3:24 mark?

  • MG's technique seems to indicate a whole paradigm shift from traditional grappling. Very cool. So much to learn and so little time....

  • Marcelo is the greatest of all time!

  • @trying4triangles nope :) just make sure the toes of the foot on the hip point away from the person and youre golden

  • Is this considered a leg reap?
