Can't even begin to explain how much we appreciate these technique videos. OSS my brother!

[@ralphylad]

Steve Woz literally a £50 seminar here.

[@Powerjudo]

This is amazing. Rafa is the best instructor and the best practitioner of BJJ on the planet.

[@lockplay]

This is pure gold. Thank you, Professor Rafa

[@Ziptrash]

Thank you again Rafael, for the amazing seminar today (tuesday) at team nogueira dubai! It was an amazing concept and technique! :)

[@ilxyaeger]

amazing! We practiced the open guard and Collar and Sleeve Guard last night at our gym! So awsome to have this the day after! :D

[@veybytes]

This guy should do more and more instructional videos ! He is the best trainer ever !

[@Marcnshae2011]

Thank you so much! While getting better at open guard, I focus so much on simply finding the grips. I forget to keep the passer busy and threaten with off balancing and posture breaking. Especially when guys are bigger and stronger.

[@mizujunior2519]

Thanks Prof Rafa your seminar was awesome!!!

[@VuTran-ru8td]

Amazing. Thank you professor Rafa 🙏🙇‍♂️

[@rafajaw]

Who the hell would downvote this? Is that you Cobrinha?

[@matp9389]

hahaha...

[@ericespinoza5588]

+Rafael Werlang lol this made my day! besides that, great video, great explanation, and great technique

[@natedepigeone]

Probably the aikido guys

[@mrsorg87]

[@andrebueno9626]

[@adornojiu-jitsu4608]

[@ashash5186]

Amazing Ooooosssss

[@felipegabriel1588]

Grande Rafael Mendes.. Mendes...excelência no jiu-jitsu..top jiu-jitsu.. (Pura técnica..conhece a arte suave como ninguém)

[@hiwhat2172]

I'm new to bjj and this is the first guard my coach taught me to use, I am gonna use the tips in this video in training, thanks!

[@Seegie16]

you should. It makes a world of difference when you are stretching them out

[@brajiujitz2011]

Amazing video, the ideas and supporting details are so well founded and thought out. It is just practice and study. Jiu Jitsu is indeed like a collegiate course, it is broken down into so many blocks that you could teach this in half semesters, 8 weeks. AOJ, Rafa, do you accept the G. I. Bill?

[@ola_eboda]

Man if I could use my gi bill to train at aoj I would

[@user-yh3dk3uy8i]

이거 번역본 만들어주실분 없나 ㅠㅠㅠ

[@enialio]

Grazie!👊

[@scottlopez9822]

Young Blue Belt Tainan Dalpra is the training partner ... you can see how it all began!

[@edmcguigan3501]

There's a reason these two were so dominant. They are prepared and they are intelligent. No other Brazilians have learned English as well as them. I hate the white aesthetic but it's part of their perfectionism and it comes with obsessive attention to detail.

[@RJwarriorpoet]

The white comes from Japanese Philosophy and is meant to be a symbol of shedding your identity of who you are outside of the dojo. In the dojo who you are as a Martial Artist is all that matters.

[@666l33j0170r]

Boa tarde Professor, grato Oss

[@lucasdevaldivia7938]

Gold

[@shubvirk]

Great method Rafa! i was holding, not pulling.

[@mcjiujitsumatacallado2892]

Great class and explain every detailed on the technique osssss

[@gund360]

o rafa coloca uma legenda em português pra galera do Brasil que te segue.

[@mwcforce1683]

Bom dia, primeiramente parabens! Moro no Brasil e sempre acompanho o trabalho de vcs através desse canal, porém, acho que não só eu mas, muitos outros seguidores acabam tendo dificuldades em alguns momentos por conta do inglês. Uma dica bacana para nos ajudar seria ter pelo menos uma legenda nos vídeos. Miranda

[@ronaldofernandesamate654]

sense Rafael faz um video destes traduzido pra nossa lingua

[@1234kingconan]

white on white makes it hard to distinguish the boundaries of shapes here, visually... Maybe they should consider different lighting or something since I know they enforce white gi's only.

[@paulohenriquemerlin9277]

Show!!! mas poderia ter legenda

[@IamG3X]

I wonder how much work they spend to keep this gym white and clean like this.

[@Feastgiver]

My BJJ that I attend is really clean with white mats too which I real like as a person who likes to clean I sometimes ask my instructor if I can help clean that way the gym can stay clean. The white walls make the place look even more clean.

[@IamG3X]

Carlos Sanchez well every gym cleans weekly. I'm just wondering if it stains yellow over time.

[@NefariousPorpoise]

If your gym only cleans weekly you need to find a new gym. We clean our mats twice a day.

[@IamG3X]

NefariousPorpoise we are require to step our feet into a solution and then wiping it clean on a towel every time we step on the mat. and i was mistaken when i said weekly. they actually clean it every other day.

[@joehula6065]

I was thinking the same thing about how crazy clean the place looks.

[@ImeldaMakinouchi]

New frend her done nmi lhat..

[@vladpolyanskiy9602]

TL;DR ?

[@collabcomm9007]

I can't see anything with white on white

[@diogovighini1]

uma pena que os mendes nao passam nada em portugues, os brasileiros gostariam de ter acesso as técnicas explicadas por vcs, alguns falam ingles, ja outros nao, so dao aula para americanos, no minimo deveria rolar legenda

[@duduand1]

+diogo vighini Eu gosto de assistir em ingles justamente pra melhorar meu ingles na parte do JJ mas tambem acho que deveria ter uma oção de ativar e desativar legendas, por uma questao de marketing mesmo, atingiria um publico muito maior. oss

[@diogovighini1]

+Eduardo Borges e os caras sao brasileiros ne, deveriam ter consideração com os brasileiros

[@anxocs4580]

18:45

[@kelvinjp]

Poderia ter legenda e alguns videos em português tbm seria muito bom!! Oss

[@nbala9425]

Isso me deixa meio assim de ser fã do rafa . Apesar de ser um cara Q eu admiro muito , essas atitudes aí de presar mais os gringos é uma coisa Q não dá pra aceitar .. O cara é brasileiro , o Jiu é mais Q brasileiro .. É o Brasil é muito fã do cara .... É difícil lembrar dos ignorantes como eu que praticam BJJ e por uma porra de legenda no vídeo já que prefere gravar em inglês ????? Abraxxx Oss

[@pengyuan9690]

Wow find an another world in bjj

[@gilsonjuniorpersonal5108]

Há como disponibilizar legendas em português?

[@Sevisija]

Anyone know any good resources about the collar sleeve guard? (dvd, instructionals, ...). I play this a lot and want to improve it!

[@jsnapp80]

Samir Lebbad check out the daruish guard.. beneil daruish

[@lausodresapo1336]

Jiu jitsu engomadinho. Mas o cara é monstro!

[@Vengeance888]

🦇

[@miguelaugusto7083]

podia ter legenda😔

[@BrunoCAGAS]

ODEIO professor que fala pra caralho mas amo o rafa :)

[@arenscott4934]

There's no way Rafa's gi is IBJJF legal!

[@arenscott4934]

I'm joking of course, great study Rafa, thank you!

[@natedepigeone]

Great instructions, but holy shit if I were a student in there and we waited 20 minutes just to try the move I'd be losing my shit.

[@SubFlow22]

+NateTheItalianStallion It was a seminar I believe. Besides, there were several breaks in that 20 min period.

[@natedepigeone]

SubFlow22 Seminar at his own gym though? For some reason I find that financially not a swell idea.

[@spiritsplice]

+TheItalionStallion Looks like they waste a bunch of time doing calisthenics in their classes too.

[@xtinakim]

+ spirit slice No, they don't. I trained there. Calisthenics are part of the warm up.

[@natedepigeone]

I'm not hating on the school at all I think it is by FAR the best BJJ school on the planet for competition. The most agile and effective students I've ever seen.

[@AndreCruzXampa]

if u see mahamed against nicholas at 19 finals. u will see him doing the wrong things. head down, showing the elbow and poor posture.

[@fabriciobarros2400]

Perdi a admiração que tinha. Estão igual os Gracie, só falam de BRAZILIAN Jiu-jitsu em inglês... Lembre-se, BRASILIAN!!!!!!!! Alguns brasileiros se contentam em ser o cãozinho dos americanos...

[@guedesricsfca]

Vai estudar inglês o seu mané!

[@edvaldobasilio5242]

Pra mim esses irmãos Mendes simplesmente tem vergonha de ser brasileiro. 👎🏻

[@spiritsplice]

"VISITOR RULES: ONLY WHITE UNIFORMS WITHOUT ANY OTHER ACADEMY PATCHES ARE ALLOWED." Wow, full of yourself much? Do you also require the promise of a first born?

[@Tom_Ciccone]

thats pretty standard at most elite bjj gyms to be honest

[@Bansenshukai9]

Unless you’re a guest of the professor who’s coming for a seminar, and you’re just coming as a visitor, you either wear a plain white gi, or buy or borrow one from the school you are visiting. That’s the standard rule.

[@scottlopez9822]

If you visit Gracie Barra, they make you wear their Gi and rash guard ... is what it is
