A Filthy Casual's Guide to Marcelo Garcia

[@Thome90]

a filthy casual's guide to Marcelo Garcia was everything my white belt grappler-heart ever wanted

[@jmeru7673]

And more. I hope this video never gets taken down.

The best MG video hands down is "Marcelo Garcia will choke you and it will hurt". I watch it a couple of times every year

[@LukeRock197]

You a black belt yet?

[@CMLew]

The don't let what's "right" get in the way of what works is a great point. I was lucky enough to be at a Damien Maia seminar this year and he recalled asking Marcelo "Why do you keep going to the wrong side for the controlling arm when taking the back" and Marcelo's response was something like "The wrong side for you, maybe, but not for me"

I first me Marcelino 19 years ago. I’m literally twice the size of him; 6’5, 270. He tapped me 5 times in 5 mins. I was almost a blue then, but still he’s a god amongst insects. Alliance forever! Jacaré forever!... and not to mention his first black belt Fabio Gurgel... you are all legendary

[@SofaKingWashed]

As always, very informative. The often unsaid accolades of some of his opponents was a nice touch.

[@robertomunoz2395]

I have met him twice and he has been an absolute professional and a gentleman. Pure class !!!!!!!

[@user-ec9ou6pb5n]

This is like an old classic movie. no matter when I see it on feed, I have to watch it all the way through. Top notch.

[@mottahead6464]

Marcelo Garcia is such a classy individual. The way he exchanged techniques with Eddie Bravo was simply amazing. And one thing is evident about Marcelo - most of his techniques work for him and for him only since the guy seems to be acutely aware of what works for his own body structure.

[@RamseyDewey]

This was a cool video.

[@zoidsfan12]

I can never get over the types of holds people manage while tumbling like this. Right now I'm working on my striking game but I would love to learn bjj, I figure it will be a nice extension to the grecco Roman wrestling I was brought up on considering I got most of my pins and points from reversals from bottom. Edit: 11:23 how he reacted after getting the tap is so sportsmanlike. That really warms my heart, in the end we are all trying to improve our craft, the fact they are fighting is down to circumstance. No hard feeling between them, more people need to be like that and thank their opponents for a good fight like that.

[@FightCommentary]

This is awesome!

[@bryonwitmen]

love those tracks from special herbs! Good bjj content too.

[@Zenitself]

3:02 the essential Renzo Gracie information. Literally everything you need to know.

Excellent video. I came to bjj after Marcelo’s time but still put a lot of his stuff into my game.

[@optimusprime699]

7:20 had me in hysterics, dude on the brink of death but didn't want to tap, that's one of the ultimate spaz moments i have ever seen lol

[@TheGodfather101]

You can do it too my man. Just walk into youre local academy. You'll be glad you did.

[@adamabbas1487]

That is odd, I know a lot of people who train who can't stand watching sport bjj. Especially in the gi these days with the lapel guard. For someone who doesn't train to enjoy it is quite rare.

[@Madeyoulook123]

[@rajjoshi8022]

A true BJJ legend, who emphaises the focus of a smaller guy can tackle a bigger dude. These days some people are forgetting that! They are all massive

[@gonufc]

That sort of crucifix to absolute fucking domination on Askren was incredible. I feel this is a guide that Jack's been wanting to do for years now. Garcia is one of the few people who can make me with amateurish knowledge of BJJ genuinely gasp at his skill.
