Every time Neil drops an instructional it’s a celebration

[@nilehawkins7878]

Fasho

[@Alex-hc1ls]

After 10 years of training, the submissions I learned from Neil over the years are my best and most used subs. His techniques are simple and effective.

[@ddwfw]

the longer these videos with Neil, the better

[@kallepikku4991]

Every time coach Neil drops these Catch wrestling techniques my mind is blown. The guy is dangerous 360 degrees, catching submission from every position. Bring us more Neil Melanson please!

[@donsmith8300]

Neil Melanson is the freaking best there is!

[@guam58]

Neil is definitely a pioneer of grappling. His use of body positions and angles are amazing.

[@zachbrown2514]

Neil’s instructions are like nothing else, best part is the humour!

[@thejookking]

Ya know??!!😁😁

[@THIS---GUY]

Real talk at the end. Nothing but respect.

[@padraigin2929]

Really inspirational - especially the reasoning behind his methodology. Neil Melanson is quickly becoming one of my favourite instructors. Thank you.

[@kallepikku4991]

Love Melanson's attitude towards learning. Many Catch wrestlers gave up going to bjj gyms back in those days exactly because of that close minded attitude Melanson is talking here. These gyms back then were very hostile towards new things which wrestling brought to the table; such as leg locks, top pressure, movement, unfamiliar submissions, etc. etc. Nevertheless Melanson just kept pushing forward, and even asked opponents' coaches to teach him. You gotta love that attitute!

[@deansander441]

@Adam Khan 100% man, most grappling styles are really similar it’s really just the ruleset that makes them different

[@quickstep2408]

@Adam Khan ya but the gracies didn't like leglocks at the start. thought it was more in line with the 'poor's man's grappling', luta livre (essentially brazilian catch-based) and those guys have always used/use leglocks alot. that's probably why some OG bjj gyms back in the day didn't like the catch guys; the prejudice towards the style was still there. now it's just a history-beef thing that has since been squashed. so no, OP's not claiming any origin rights to tech, and his claims on hostility towards catch back in the day were accurate.

The concept of mat strength and weight strength is soo true :) I have seen many dudes who were quite strong in their workouts etc, but I could easily surpass them on the mat.

[@ashwix]

I want to be friends with Neil. He seems like legit nice guy.

[@ryanroyal9236]

He's a legit good guy. I've known him for years

[@watermelontreeofknowledge8682]

Love you, Neil!

The shelf is legit everything in this lesson.

“The Curly From 3 Stooges” sounds like a 10th Planet technique.

[@badxradxandy]

There's one called the Homer Simpson but I dunno about tenth naming it

[@madbowler6]

Great one, Bernardo! Neil is def an interesting dude. He's got to be at the top of every grappler's list of people we'd like to have a beer with.

[@albertlucas1560]

huge honor and huge guy

[@francescofonte76]

13:00 I know a guy with some quality bottom turtle instructionals on your catalogue! You can't talk of turtle anymore without somebody popping up and naming Priit Mihkelson.

[@BL0HARD]

Eduardo Telles has a Turtle Guard DVD too

[@penelopeallan6495]

Priits turtle is the same as niels. Tellus plays it different

[@KaninTuzi]

Neil gives you the instructions straight. Priit will spend 20 mins talking about how "special' his way of thinking of escapes is...

[@henner2006]

You know its a Neil video if he has to ask his partner if he's "OK" multiple times during the technique demonstration

[@jedsanford7879]

I know right? Such a cool guy :)

[@thejookking]

Saturday February 10,2024 You got that right!

[@arturobustamante9828]

Great technique and awesome story from an awesome dude. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bernardo!

When does the turtle instructional get released? Just checked the site and couldn’t find it

I was ready to pay but couldn't find it

Its there search priit

[@StillRolling]

Very nice 🤙I've done something similar off the Peterdon just setting all the way through to the shoulder clamp but this looks great. Looking forward to trying it!

[@pauldowling6888]

Neil: OK, everybody, I need a volunteer to help me show Bernardo how to do a keylock from turtle. Everbody: Neil: OK, you with the moustache...

when is this dvd going to be available? thanks!

Great story Neil!

I think the shelf is what I've been missing in my side control kimuras

[@l.em.t3819]

Can't even imagine the amount of knowledge you must get from helping Coach Neil show the technique, but DAMN IT MUST BE PAINFUL 😂😂😂

[@tyhatfield7156]

It’s absolutely crazy how much stuff I teach just like Neil does what are the things I will talk with all the students because he shared this with me was how when he grabs the arm going into that americana he doesn’t monkey paw it! There’s so much good instruction right here and just understanding because once you’re using someone’s arm with a two on that arm and you have more leverage than the person it doesn’t matter what they’re doing if they jump on top of you break their arm if they move around you break their arm if they move anywhere pretty much you could break their arm

[@MrSinusu]

Neil is a very tall guy. And whenever I watch his videos, it gives me the impression that he can crush anyone without any jiujitsu skill.

[@BudoTraining]

How tall? Seems huge!

[@stanf9898]

Innovative move. Great story.

[@shootits48]

Wow that's an inspiring story

when does this instructional drop?

[@jairoldi6258]

Great video Neil. What kind of Knee sleeves is Neil wearing?

[@errcoche]

That's a great adjustment to the keylock. Neil shrugging makes me laugh because his traps are so huge he looks like he is permanently shrugging, like he has had his neck vertebrae removed.

[@evolvep2747]

Not to be "that guy" but I'm having a real hard time understanding you Bernardo, I'm not really used to brasinglish, if you maybe tried to speak a bit slower it would help, or perhaps put subtitles on the videos? But anyway love your channel and I'm learning so much, I just need to learn brasinglish too ;)

It didn't include shaking hands with the pope nor having an early Christmas goose. 2/10 Not enough butt drag therefore it will certainly not work especially against those old school wrestler grabbing some meat.
