  • good interview, but this deserves better audio.

  • @crunkjuice699 I agree 100%! I was traveling and didn't have my full kit with me, but I figured that good information with guerrilla audio is better than no information at all!

  • Great video, dude. Thanks for posting. Your last question was exactly the question I had in mind. I use this pass already, but I got some ideas from the video. Good stuff.

  • i like how he mentions that you have to play jiu jitsu when you learn... its not a tournament...

  • @stephankesting , cant he just scoop the leg with his free hand?

  • @RetaliationAirsoft before you stand up, you trap one of your opponent's arm first so that he cannot grab your ankle. Marcelo Garcia executes that same pass and it works like a charm every time.

  • When you stand up can't they just open there guard pinch there knees grab ur ankles and push up you'll fall

  • The technique was good, but what was really great was Shaolin's insight on repetition of the same technique to learn its subtleties. I often think "Man, I always do this same pass, I should change it up abit so people don't think I'm one dimensional." Now I know better.

  • @Normando5522

    OR it could just be the fact that these are bjj artists, not mixed martial artists.

    these guys dont punch or kick or wrestle, they do bjj.

  • @DanLujan 1/10

  • Is that the guy from the movie powder?
