He did mma so he knows limitation to pure Jiu Jitsu

@@iamoffendedand8023There is no style that can be purely forced into MMA. Not sure why people only want to say this about JJ specifically.

Like he said in MMA everything goes back to basics, it just so happens that one of the day 1 sweeps from single leg X is to push the hip forward and knee out to make the guy fall backwards, you can't punch forward if you're falling backwards.

that's why he said "you see it in the lower levels but not in the ufc"

@@dankganja but you do see it in UFC, not often, but when they do it they kill with it

@@PhoenixWrecker who uses single leg x in ufc?

@@dankganja couldn't give you specific examples I'm not that knowledgable on names, but I've seen it a few times

⁠@@dankganjaRyan Hall would be the closest for this case.

Guillotine and the head and arm chokes are common. The D’arce has become more common lately because it’s a good move to go to from a sprawl when the opponent shoots.

You could just go train BJJ. Then you’d realize (after a couple years) that BJJ isn’t a style of techniques. It’s a style of concepts. Take the fight to the ground, pass the legs, progress through a hierarchy of positions, end the fight with minimal damage to either person. These are the macro-concepts. They break down to micro-concepts, such as chokes being more direct than joint locks, and positions being ranked based on how easy it is to throw strikes. Those micro-concepts breakdown into techniques. The macro-concepts of BJJ are absolutely 100% applicable to self-defense, MMA, sports, hobbyists, etc. once you get down to micro-concepts and individual techniques, then you can recognize which ones translate to specific situations.

I always preferred arm and neck submissions over leg submissions in general because with arm and neck submissions, you are attacking from a position where your opponent cannot attack you, or where it is very difficult for him to attack you. You have little or no vulnerability. The same is not really true for leg submissions, where your act of attacking with a leg submission also gives your opponent an opportunity to attack you, to an extent. There is more of a risk when you rely on leg submissions. And I agree that it is important to learn the moves that you “don’t like” - so that you can be able to defend against them.

Yeah that it's what he said

Until topouria

@@jameshughes1097 Topuria made every opponent he’s ever faced look useless

@@jameshughes1097 omg he lost ONCE such a bad fighter

@@kirito3082I didn’t say he was a bad fighter.

This has been done to death. We all know that sitting guard in MMA is trash. This is why it’s only done in tight rulesets. The “guard” is not a technique that is “good” or “bad” for MMA or self-defense. The “guard” is not just one thing or two things or three things. The guard is the concept of using your legs to control hip mobility, explosiveness, distance, and posture of any opponent so that you can sweep, submit, or otherwise get off the bottom in a fight. Anyone with or without training is going to use their “guard” or they end up on the ground. The guard is about defense, control, distance, etc. These concepts of limiting your opponent’s explosive abilities and give yourself a chance to escape the bottom is a priority whether your opponent postures up or not. If your opponent postures up it might or might not be advisable to break away and get back up. You’ll need to read that situation. If you can quickly breakdown that posture and sweep quickly to mount and then go to knee-on-belly, you can throw strikes while keeping your head on a swivel for other attackers. This is just one example. The guard is not a technique. It’s a concept of control.

@@americandissident9062 "The guard is" "a concept of control." Agreed. The way I think of the guard is that in any position which is considered a guard, -you and your opponent face each other, -your opponent can drive his weight into you to control you, -you cannot drive your weight into your opponent to control him, and -you can use your legs to control him and defend against his attempt to control you. By that criteria, the turtle position is not a type of guard. The 50/50 position is not a type of guard. One theory I have is that the guard is where the tide of battle is determined. If you get the upper hand when you are in the guard, then the tide of battle will be in your favor. Getting on top of him, passing his guard, and submitting him will be relatively easier, as you take advantage of the momentum you have created. If your opponent passes your guard, then the tide of battle is in his favor. You will be fighting an uphill battle as he runs roughshod over you to submit you from the top. In retrospect, I wish all my teachers had forced me to work on my guard during every class, without regard for the result.

@@perfectsplit5515 While you might not be able to force your weight into your opponent while you have him in your guard, you can extend your hips to get his weight pushed back off of you. But I have rarely ever had anyone force much of their weight onto me in my guard. I have control of their hips, and therefore I can simply extend slightly to remove all pressure. An opponent in your guard who tries to crush you with their weight is simply putting themselves into a place where you can work some submissions, and they're also limiting themselves only to body lock passing, if they're able to. I would prefer an opponent tries to crush me in my guard. I can simply extend slightly, move to my hip, and start looking for submissions if they want to stay low like that.

He hasn’t fought in the UFC since 2013. And got knocked out 4 of his last fights. The game adapts.

Pretty much all of Palhares' wins are in the first round where there isn't much sweat, so guys have a harder time slipping out of heel hooks and freeing their knees. Same thing with Ian Entwistle, all of his wins are by early 1st round heel hook. Marcin Bandel and Imanari, same thing with those guys.

It's also the case of someone like Palhares being a lock leck specialist, whereas other black belts may not focus on it much

@@MMAELO facts

rear naked choke, double leg, single leg, no gi judo throws in the clinch

K guard is being used a lot now as far as submissions arm bars and RNCs mostly, some people can get away with things like triangle chokes.

All the basics.. as already stated in the video

Congratulations 🎉 you sound like a jerk off.

That's not something to celebrate

Yes it is. If you knew the whole story on how he was taunting me and calling me on in the store... egging me to fight. Then when I broke his ACLs and meniscus, his whole attitude changed. Hahahaha!!!!@@JeffreyMarciano

Wow so cool ninja warrior dude I'm sure everyone was clapping.

Yeah it was pretty cool bone roaster, you would have put a bone down your throat.@@boneroaster88j7

No clue..im new to jiu jitsu lol

He complimented Danaher's students in this video.

His point was that Danaher's students are likely to be the exception, they can get away with this because their skill level is so high, there was no shade here.

Danaher is probably the most well known bjj coach in the world and he popularized the modern bjj leg lock game. He is very legit but his teaching seems to me be more focused on sport bjj than mma. He used to be GSPs grappling coach so I might be wrong though. I don't know why Matt wouldn't like him or where you got that from however if that's the case it's probably due to him popularizing leg locks in bjj and Matt not enjoying leg locks.

@@mattisbette3932 This is getting carried away. Nothing negative was said about Danaher or his students in this video.
