Professor Faria thank you so much for your free instructional on bjj fanatics and your timeless effort to spread the techniques of grappling. You are a treasure to the grappling community. And, again thank you so much for all you are doing during this pandemic. Much love from my Ohana (family).

[@kallepikku4991]

This Catch wrestling stuff is amazing. Keep it coming!

[@zachbrown2514]

Awesome videos! I love the Neil Melanson tutorials because he utilizes principles from other grappling to help achieve submissions. The concept of utilizing discomfort or pain to then set up your game. Awesome stuff!

[@schoolsofselfdefense3646]

Bernardo...no joke you have changed my outlook on Jiu Jitsu and made me excited to learn since I have training partners I can drill all these top top level skills coming from THE BEST. Also I have your fundamentals dvd and the Danaher DVD’s now and wow, so amazing! Huge honor for me to say, thank you!!! OSS!

[@anon2034]

This is great! Thank you so much!

[@jehsd1234]

Bernardo and Neil can you make a video of the leg dexterity drills that Neil used to do back at Hayastan? Would love to have a "two snakes" workout!

[@Pwanx0w]

Always great quality content! Thanks Bernardo!!!!

[@BL0HARD]

I’d love to see Neil Melanson and Joel Bane do something together

[@errcoche]

Worth remembering that Neil trains MMA fighters. you might find that nobody wants to roll with you if you adopt too many of Neil's techniques. To be used only with guys who can take it and only if you're willing to take it back too. My coach worked with Neil and said that everything he does causes pain.

[@martiallife4136]

Thank Gene Lebell and Gokor.

[@Dudethingy563]

@kmden Rt mma not street.

[@collindavey6139]

Can tell that’s true by watching this stuff. All looks terrible to be on the receiving end of.

[@jrowlandj]

He states this outright on his training vids. Making the opponent uncomfortable in order to force scrambles and guard changes is part of pressure passing in grappling, at least from my side of the fence. One of his favorite tricks is grinding his skull against your face.

[@guam58]

If you are a competitor you train what you feel is your style. Not rolling with someone who uses pressure too make one feel uncomfortable, hurts your game. If you are competitor and are matched with someone who uses a catch wrestling style pressure then what do you do? I feel it hurts someone's game if you don't roll with different styles. I understand if this person is intentionally trying to hurt people then yes no one will want to roll with you.

"It's kinda like a choke and a crank and... Everything Terrible."😂

[@auld_boy]

I hit this at a local inter club a year or so ago. The ref missed the tap because he didn't know what the fuck I did and my opponent asked me what it was afterward and described it as it feeling like his neck was going to explode 😅

[@Hyo-pc3yo]

The key factor is one's mindset. When I roll, I use this technique. That being said, I do not try to finish it. I usually stop my knee from moving just before it starts to hurt. After asking my partner if he is okay, we both laugh and resume our roll. Catch and jujitsu are not the same. Catch is more akin to "I will cause so much pain, so you will want to give me positions so I can finish." You would not care whether you tapped someone or not if you had a sound ego and the correct mindset. Then you can use whatever technique you like. You will obviously not have any partners if you just drive your knee hard into someone's neck.

[@otto-847]

Bernardo is playing the song of my people here. Just to hear him suffer is all I need to know about how brutal this feels to him.

[@amorestperpe]

Essentially, he was like how can I combine every dick move in the book together and really make it as miserable as possible.

[@PKV-wl3ec]

I don't know what he's saying But I can tell what he's saying is good

[@craigartley1598]

Is that first choke IBJJF legal?

[@bluelifter5917]

😊

[@obviousgiant4568]

Let'em know Ground Marshall. Darce, neckties, and arm chokes from that position. Real nice technique.

[@nestormarte817]

Wish they had friendly roll see the techniques in action and set ups.

[@francisserrano342]

That's pretty much a ninja move

[@Hyo-pc3yo]

Catch, in my opinion, is the most brutal kind of grappling, and it might not be the best when grappling alone. However, I humbly believe that it works better for street fighting or mixed martial arts. The majority of CACC movements can be extremely painful, if desired.

[@jking5772]

Cradle is great for control but I did not know you can actually get a choke out of it. Thanks for sharing.

[@Vintagegijoefreak]

Lol, listen to Bernardo in the video when the knee comes in and tell him it’s not a choke..

[@michaelotherwise9656]

Are you dumb?

[@ZatoichiRCS]

Is this The Godfather of Filth?

[@paragon1782]

So dope but I wouldn't wanna roll with someone who plays side control like that lmao my neck would be trashed for a week. Just off that underhook frame ride thing alone it would be a bad time.

[@rudai123]

I wonder why we don't see more cradles in general in grappling tournaments?

[@ryanroyal9236]

I know! I think that of course BJJ is slow to change (leg locks just became a thing a few yrs ago because 100yrs ago the Gracies said attacking the legs is cheap and dirty) and also no one is teaching attacks from cradle except Neil in this dvd as well as his first one Catch Wrestling

[@rudai123]

@@ryanroyal9236 Good points. I would think cradles would be good counters to all the inverted guard attacks by the Dannaher inspired leg lockers?

[@ryanroyal9236]

@@rudai123 hmmm. That's an interesting thought. I've never tried the cradle against an inverted opponent. I find them in a lot of places and love hitting cradles off a pass

[@happyfeet17gus]

Modern BJJ focuses on loose passing, guard is the advantage, no pinning.

[@scottb.3262]

rudai123 I naturally gravitated to the “inside cradle” due to wrestling and then saw where it lead me. Usually to a good side mount.

These are Catch wrestling moves. Quite common if you wrestle enough.

Mma is not bjj. Idky people expect this to work. Bjj is a separate sport and the worst thing you can do is treat them the same

You should look closer then

If catch wrestling was worth a shit, we would all be doing catch instead of BJJ. This technique would only work when you're significantly stronger than your opponent

[@roryofarrell1517]

@@kettlejitsu71 You are missing the point entirely. Not sure what you name dropping has to do with it but since we are on the subject I trained under the Gracies as well. I clearly wasn’t saying anything negative about BJJ but after 20+ years you would think that you would figure out that clearly other combat sports such as wrestling, sambo, and Judo all have there place in the world of grappling. You would be a fool to think you don’t utilize techniques from other disciplines.

@@kettlejitsu71 And another point to you bullshit comment. As a person who trains with Gracies and actually knew the history would realize Helio took an art from Japan and adapted it to fit his body type with technique and leverage. No different than a wrestler taking moves from wrestling and adapting them for jiu jitsu.
