I just gained a new respect for BJJ, extremely technical. there’s a gym 5 mins from me I’m 100% starting

The skill difference between a trained and untrained person is astonishing

Thanks for trusting me with your life

This is why I love Jiu-Jitsu. You see the beauty of handling a bigger guy who is a bodybuilder like Mike, and he is getting tired while James is relaxed. You see any white belt can defeat 99% of anyone who doesn't train Jiu-Jitsu. Great work Mike! If you implement Jiu-Jitsu to bodybuilding you would be a beast mate! Oss 🤙🏾

James is a great teacher, i can see a lot of his motivations for starting BJJ in myself. Nobody wants to be confronted with the realization that they are powerless. Great video guys!

I love how you showed Mike some pretty advanced entries on the arm bars and triangle after seeing him struggle to perform the RNC grip haha. Cool to see the sport get this sort of exposure! JJ is the most addictive I have ever done and my only regret is not doing it earlier in life

That looks really hard, fair play for giving it a go never seen it from a being trained POV, shows how technical it is.

It's impossible to know how truly helpless you are against a trained grappler until you try it. Once you try BJJ and realise there is a super power you can develop, the ability to control a bigger opponent without hurting them, you'll never stop training.

Fire video guys 🔥 learnt so much!!! Thank you!! 🙌

Really enjoyed this video. So interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks Mike - breaking out of comfort zones again on 🎥 And Thank you Mike's team for not editing/cutting this down Enjoyed every minute

Im just like a month and a half into bjj training and its so cool to watch this and realize how much I've really learned already.

I had a blast watching the whole thing, the dynamic was super entertaining. Mike's newbie mistakes were pure comedy. James struggling with teaching the semicircle sweep was painful to watch, but other than that, he's a great bloke to learn jiu jitsu from.

Was waiting for this video for a while! Good stuff! 😁🙌🏼🥋

Do more of this Mike, would be sick to see you become a beast on the mats

Awesome job!! Well done!

James doing a great job at teaching!

Amazing content Mike!

AWESOME MIKE KEEP DOING IT

awesome video, watched it all!! Thank you for leaving ego out the door, and just enjoying the experience :)

This video was epic! Great job James n Mike. Made me want to start BJJ

I just love the dialogue between you two

I hope you keep it up a few days a week Mike fair play for doing it keep it up

Mike there is absolutely no reason for you not to do JJ three times per week. The cardio is insane, the stretching is life changing and its alot of fun. You could just do JJ instead of normal cardio, and its a win win situation over the boring step cardio track.

as a 2 stripe white belt this is awesome to watch!!!

Hell yeah, just what I wanted to see. A fitness KZfaqr try martial arts, because I do fitness as well. But when I got into Jiu-jitsu. Man I learned real fast that muscles just prevented injuries. Haha, keep going Mike, cheers!

This is a good video. Something different is always good.

Looks pretty fun actually

A very good introduction to jiu jitsu! Thank you. The only thing I would change is: takedowns. I'd use some simple trips or sweeps from judo. Because you can't do a double or even a single leg takedown on a heavier opponent, if he resists. You risk staying under him.

Amongst all fitness youtubers, Mike is one of the best and with best diverse content.

Mike Tries would be a good series

Twins for LIFE!

Good video. Would be interesting seeing Mike doing more BJJ stuff. Shoutout James. Guy is 100%

Had my first lesson on Friday, shi was crazy

lets go !

Thanks for a free Jiu Jitsu class

I love how widespread jiu jitsu is getting :)

Knee on belly..."i dont know the names " 😂😂😂😂

yo great video lets go

This is the most overly complicated first class I’ve ever seen. 😂

JJ é muito difícil! Precisa de anos para dominar isso um pouco. Mas te dá uma vantagem monstra num combate contra alguém cru.

MIKE CAN YOU START MAKING A TECHNIQUE SERIES

Great video ! What rash guards are they ?

Big Mike

amazinnnn

Good video

Jiujitsu is a lot of fun! Randomly walked into a gym in 2014 and never looked back. Train more Mike! Use those muscles for collecting limbs!

You did good mike. Your mobility is very good for a big dude. Will be scary to see you after training for a year. Will be dangerous

Has no one clocked that he just posted a video of him hugging another man for 50 minutes

BTS of the lads on the lash? Would be so funny.

Mikes mobility is great, looks like he would be a natural if he decided to train. Great video :).

Somebody needs to clip this with Unchained Melody over top, would give more feels than Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze I reckon 😂🔥 Great vid, as always where you both are concerned! ❤

Your movement looks way more natural grappling compared to when you tried boxing with Tate. Hope you continue on your BJJ journey

Having a healthy body is so impressive you can get into any tough martial art at any age

bjj is definetly by far the best choice - love and wont miss it...

Mike is all air

For a dude of Mike's size, he clearly has some good mobility. There was a couple of times where you can see with a bit of refining, he could pick it up pretty quick (at 31 mins when James is explaining the hip escape, he's posting well on the elbow and you can see the power coming out of the hips). For sure would be a nightmare in the gym with some proper training

love the cuddles

Wow, that was amazing to watch! This is the kind of skill that women want. The sexiest asset a man has is the ability to take down all predators. Tate has that concept right

Why does James sound like he's a member of the Eubank family?? Or is it just me😀

Mike what length do you trim your beard at? 5mm?

Funny thing is James is legit going slow and easy

After seeing a bars bouncers turf 2 guys out into the street, I witnessed a nasty street fight get diffused by a guy who clearly trained in BJJ. After a few moments scuffling and a few punches thrown he safely contained the aggressive guy with a RNC until the police arrived, despite being kicked and punched by the aggressors friend. Just goes to show, all these drug & alcohol fuelled wannabe Bruce Lees out at the weekend picking fights won't know what's happened to them if you're quick enough and trained well enough. Great video guys.

Been doing bjj for 14 yrs now. Never stop, never will.. Unless I get injured lol.

Can’t watch any more, too intense. I have a feeling this is the beginning of a new sport for you, Mik

HWHOWH! That was hallariahs how Mike was like 'Rrright now im feelin' dot dot dot. And Mr Instructah was all like 'Yourrr uoalwayss gonna feel like dat!' I had a chuckle. How impressive fellahs how impressive indeed! Thank God for the tan! Thank God for the silk tones! Just cause I didn't know how to follow dancersizewise. Lol. T'was a, .... Anyway, I have a question. What if the damsel we are to defend just sold my house, got rid of my car through trifle and strife, made all of my friends. Her friends. Bad mouthed me to all. Yes. All. I am an Angel just joining all earthy dwellers this century and last that is in no way inhibited on the verbs orr on eye to eye level, with tons of wit and chutzpah with a push n zeal n drive like none I know thus far. Well, except Mr Thor here and our Knowledgeable Mastah of The Jitsu of course! That remains at the hswarey of yesterdecade because it's better than this day here in my opinion please. And. So sorry please. Depleated me, JoséV. of my rights"" and life savings according to her because she's hmy hsihster"" she says as she disowns me. Must I? Must I defend her? Everyone's on her side! Must I defend her as well? Just kidding gentlemen. I'm actually not losing my marbles because of this. I've got some Jedi Mine Tricks that are awesome n impressive thank you! Have Awesome Weekends! And I intend to make your instructions my everyday, ON OTHERRRRS! JK.

Fuck this is really hard

Yoo Mikey.

십오~십오~!

Would you ever consider adding long sleeved T shirts to your collection for men?

Mike, if you start really training jiujitsu you’d be a beast. Think about it. Oss

love muuuuch love-asawako👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 james smith👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

There’s gonna be so many spazzy white belts in January 😅

min 30 to the couch: you did not push me the way you did the first time.

Bro Bradley Martin taking notes.

Mikey T! Awesome content absolutely love BJJ. I could imagine rolling with you would just be a scent of cocoa butter.

I started 5 months ago for this reason :). I'm a small guy at 170lbs, but recently have been able to submit people who are 40 pounds heavier than me and have 6 inches on me. It's dope.

23:00 What's this move called?

I would not in any way want to try Mike!!

Mike's being nice flowing, if he went 100 it would be difficult for James due to Mike's size and athleticism. Normally white belts normally go100 when they first start as they think its do or die, they get humbled very quickly😅

Are these guys brothers? James looks like zeke and Mike looks like Eren

Hi guys I want to look exactly like Mike - what supplements should I take!

Mike u r such a fool 😅

GTA VI TRAILER is out boys!!

0:56 "The rear necked choke is going to be your best option, can you sit down for a second". Lool this is why a lot of people dont take bjj seriously. Not saying they shouldn't, but the way he introduced it.

Bro I took my first class last week. I looked exactly like you. Its seems very complicated. 1 minute you feel like you are getting it the next minute you have no idea what you are doing.

Why nobody told him to take his socks off :D 😂

Done bjj for 3 years and am in no way an expert but even the skill level between myself and someone untrained, it's like fighting a child

Mike messing up every leg arm side 😅😅

God bless day one white belts. Arms flailing all over, putting their elbows over their head voluntarily. Turtles full of attack holes. BJJ is crazy. Im 6 months in and subbed a day one white belt 12 times in 6 minutes the other day.

One thing i hate is when higher belts let brand new people tap them in sparring. In drills whatever and by all means let them work but if the newbie is agreeing to spar hes not tapping me. 9/10 times when you do that they go home thinking theyre good then quit. If you want newbies to stay you should show them the skill gap. You dont even have to tap them just show u can do whatever you want and they cant stop you.

Mike 😂

Im like whats wrong with this picture? This mf rolling with socks on lmao.

삼촌 서스턴 귀에서 피나겄다~

I’ll have to come back to this video when I have more time, but wanted to ask this. How is this neck hold going to stop the person from taking a sharp object _(not sure if youtube will delete my comment if I write the word kn*fe or g*n in that sentence)_ or pointed lead projecting tool from stopping the neck hold person?

This wouldn't work in a street fight you will just get stabbed

I hate rolling around with sweaty men

Sounds like a white version of chris Eubank

❤👍❤

James: u want to control the man and not hurt him Me: learning bjj to make someone feeling as close to death as possible
