Basic Berimbolo Doesn't Work!

The berimbolo is dead so dont bother learning it. just watch this video and learn the defenses and you will be set on all berimbolo related techniques for the rest of your life. more on keenanonline.com/

[@radracer8889]

When I saw that blue hair, I immediately assumed Keenan was gonna call the berimbolo a micro aggression

[@radracer8889]

oliver closehoff it’s been happening for a while. A woman I trained with freaked out when a teammate posted a video of him tapping me with a “rape choke”. I hear people calling it the Vader choke to avoid the triggering. Although I can see why women might not wanna get “rape choked”. It’s gonna suck just as bad no matter what u call it, but hey, it is what it is...

This is less of a "berimbolo sucks" essay and more of a "here's how to shutdown the berimbolo" instructional. So I don't think you accomplished what was meant by the title, but these are great tips I will incorporate!

[@anthonybruno6439]

Thanks for this video, not only you give details on why you said in some ways the berimbolo doesn't work when you have active technical answer but you even give philosophy on don't enter in the guard if you're not ready to pass with a strategy. This is appreciate!

I don't think its valid to say a position doesn't work just because there's a defense for it. Almost every position has a defense.

[@proximo816]

VictorHugoVideos exactly!

[@jeffsstt]

Nah many positions Will go away once defences are established

[@jorgeherrera1074]

I think what he's saying is that the counter is SOO easy and doesn't take quickness or speed that's why it berimbola doesn't work. Like a sprawl needs to be timed correctly, and many defenses requires multiple techniques, but to counter the berimbola you basically only have to sit down and you practically countered the entire position

[@AlejandroGonzalez-wo5fk]

Agreed

[@golddee2040]

Just try it again. Or something else, then go back to the BB

[@LoungeActVideos]

The last bit resonated with me, I'm constantly giving up position while passing guard standing just because of drilling/training habits and because I'm confident in my own guard if I get swept. But I should be entering without the need to immediately strip off the grips and hooks I allowed to get through.

[@mattyoungdma]

Also, double leg takedown doesn't work because you can just sprawl and mount doesn't work because you can just umpa.

[@mattyoungdma]

@Tommy Hass Why is that a dumb comparison?

[@mattyoungdma]

@Tommy Hass Sure they are. If someone telegraphs their shot with zero setup and bad timing, then sprawls are super easy.

[@mattyoungdma]

@Tommy Hass If it's so easy to set it up, why do people still get sprawled on all the time?

[@EagleTrue]

White belt statement right there...

[@mattyoungdma]

@Tommy Hass I guess the point that you are not getting, and which Keenan so flippantly passes over, is that every technique is defensible, single attacks especially so. An attacker that is fixated only on the berimbolo will most likely get shut down. But when you combine a berimbolo with other threats, off balancing your opponent and forcing them to defend between two or more things, then the berimbolo is not easily defensible.

[@TakedownBreakdown]

[@orgANGmo]

Useful video, not for the berimbolo stuff. Good tips towards the end.

[@PorradaTalk]

Every position can be defended. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. As a black belt the basic knowledge of timing, action and reaction should be very clear. Thats BJJ, anything, crazy or not, can work on the right time, with the right action and the expected reaction. Not cool to go online trying to say that a technique sucks, instead of showing how it can work and be defended. But y’all definitely should start using the “worm guard” lol

[@robertrichards9565]

I have been trying to get into a place in my life where I can go back to bjj. It has been slightly more than a year since my last class and I remember berimbolo’s being huge and everyone was trying to figure out ways to beat it.

Of course there are defense to it just like stepping over the foot in worm guard. But it has worked to much to say it doesn't work. My Professor Samuel Braga is still winning Master worlds using it and everyone knows it is coming. His Berimbolo 2.0 has addressed a lot of the common defenses as well.
