someone told roger gracie that "marcelo garcia was sent by the gods of jiu jitsu to show everyone how to grapple" roger gracie says ''funny i dont remember sending him" ;] looool dats my own little joke but i would LOVE to see marcelo vs roger in a no-gi jiu jitsu match

[crazieleg]

the most humble jiu jitsu guy ever.. Marcelo the best pound for pound..

@aldmills As good as Marcelo Garcia? More power to ya friend, but that is level few will ever approach. Best of luck.

[TheSlevinCalevra]

That is class. A great match between two greats.

@mndeg Too bad because Trance by 009 Sound System or that requiem for a dream music goes so well with that video...

@kanguesso 3cont. question is...when you're facing a more technically skilled player just what attribute do you use to move the fight in your direction. a match is not exactly like chess, in chess every player is forced to move forward (well, several pieces)...however, if a technically sound player just lays there waiting for you to work yourself into a mistake when do you assert yourself. whether that be passing guard faster than he can respond or constantly moving and attacking him

[heykevinb]

@kanguesso 2cont. at any rate a known bjj practitioner says this, "But I think that you can only rely on technique alone when you are facing guys who don’t know any jiu-jitsu. When you are going against other guys who are versed in jiu-jitsu, obviously strength and conditioning are going to play an important part".

so to a degree having some 'mustard' helps...doesn't help when you're giving your back to the other guy though.

[heykevinb]

@kanguesso great points...however in this match garcia benefits from the other guy's mistake. there are time when a guy isn't going to give up a lot and well do you just lay there or force this guy's hand?

so then the issue is...is forcing a player to move NOT pure bjj...is which i think is the problem with this art any others. this whole elitism, if you're not learning from a certain family then it aint shit. which is why royce getting choked by Wallid was such a big deal.

[heykevinb]

see, even great bjj professionals turn their damn backs and get choked the hell out.

one of the best marcelo garcia matches i've seen, not just because of his grappling skills, but also how humble he is towards his opponents
