BJJ Match Breakdown: Roger Gracie vs Bernardo Faria

[@JLJE54]

Bernardo at the end of the match, “Wow that’s amazing”

[@D0MIIN8T0R]

huge honor for me!

Its almost impossible to read that without reading in his voice lol

[@ryanj7517]

Roger is and was as a competitor the best of his era and possibly the best ever. Nothing flashy, no ego, just super sound fundamental BJJ that is on another level.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yup. Some might see him as boring and plain. But that ‘boring and plain’ style proved to super effective and extremely dominant.

[@dan5626]

Jiu-Jitsu IS fundamentals, at least should be for the majority of people as most are not athletes. The only people that should go for flashier techniques are those who have fully mastered the fundamentals and are confident with their BJJ in every situation against every opponent. Otherwise, stick to the basics and survive.

[@TheTwoStrokePower]

@@DeepDiveJJ it’s funny as the new wave guys start to return to the basics, it just makes sense though, connection to the other person is always going to win

[@DeepDiveJJ]

@@TheTwoStrokePower Yup I love to see it. Smothering pressure passing for the win.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

@@dan5626 Agreed! And the cool thing is that it applies to almost every skill in life.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Amazing breakdown!!... oh wait.. its my own video. Oh well

[@lowlowseesee]

Lololol yes! Subbed

As a first time viewer of your work, THIS WAS AMAZING. Subscribed.

[@OGG619]

Great review. Just saw Bernardo interview Roger. He explained how he keeps mount. BTW, look at the upper left part of the screen..Roger’s dad, Rickson and Rillion are watching the match. I’m sure it’s no longer an easy task to get that many Gracies in one venue anymore.

[@dwhizzel6471]

Hahahah

[@organized_labor]

🤣🤣🤙🏼🤘🏼

[@matheusgarcia2766]

Good breakdown, my friend. Bernardo has a heart of gold but Roger is on another level

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yea he is a fighter for sure! But like you said, Roger is just so dominant.

[@Dionisio_13]

Yes, heavyweight level 😅

[@jnng7463]

another level, just means ANOTHER LEVEL.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Imagining what Roger would do against the leglock game of today. Guessing he'd learn enough to defend them and still stick to his fundamental style.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yea similar to JT Torres!

[@christianpaeznegron]

So unexpected to see you over here lol

[@thos1618]

The hell are you doing here?

[@ronetqsm]

This was really great. Thanks so much for taking the time to point out so many of the little details I would've missed.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Makes me happy knowing people benefit in any way from these breakdowns. Will continue to put out useful breakdowns weekly 🙂

[@jiujitsustudent604]

This breakdown is incredible. Thanks for taking the time.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Thank you for the kind comment!

[@lsraeliteprepperdaughterof1935]

Great breakdown and appreciated the notes not fading away quickly which made it easy to read and to look at the areas that are being spoken about. 👍🏽

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Thank you! Glad you found it helpful

[@bxlawless100]

The breakdown is SPOT ON. That’s why Roger is so great he doesn’t give you what you want or need then it’s over.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Thank you! and yup, Roger didnt give him anything

[@bxlawless100]

@@DeepDiveJJ I hate fighting better Black belts like this. 😀. It’s so frustrating. It’s as if their invulnerable.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

@@bxlawless100 I know the struggle 😫

[@Trephining]

And yeah, that was a great detailed breakdown. Seeing those kinds of details is very helpful to this white belt to see "all the moves you don't see", so to speak.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yea i get you. Glad you found it helpful!

[@StrongBroBJJ]

That was a great breakdown. I never thought of the guillotine being a counter to the bottom player going into deep half! 🤯

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Thank you! I never thought if either til i saw this too 🤯

[@cherokeeoutlaw2.011]

always treating with the submission...yeah man

[@CUNDUNDO]

It is a huge honour for me to watch this video!

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Oss!

[@OlivierTravers]

Exec summary: Faria pulled bottom side control.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Lol yea definitely slipped up with his pull

[@badxradxandy]

He pulled 1/8 guard and quarter mount.

[@robertleewhitt6241]

Outstanding breakdown thank you for sharing knowledge !

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Thank you! Glad you found it useful!

[@robertleewhitt6241]

A+ on the breakdown >> Basic moves by Gracie that many white belts and blue belts are aware of >> Gracie uses such basic white belt moves and fundamental moves in Jiu Jitsu > Roger is so technically sound > I love his Jiu Jitsu !

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Thanks! Yea his jiu jitsu is refreshing to watch because of how simple yet technical his game is.

[@jasonlindamood]

Not sure how this video popped up in my recommendations but I'm glad it did. An absolutely superb breakdown! Neither of these men are small -- I believe Bernardo may be 6'1"-ish and Roger is at least 3 inches taller. And combining Roger Gracie's skill with his size?....Good Lord, what a combination.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Haha well I’m glad it did pop up for you. Thank you , I’m glad you found it informative!

[@BeingBrian]

Huge honor my friend!

[@tapiorajala1599]

liked this breakdown. I have though that Roger mainly rely on his pressure, but it really looked like he has very precise counter game against Bernardo Faria's excellent half guard

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yea passing Faria is def not an easy feat.

[@atroussov]

It is my huge honor to watch this match...

Bernardo: "Huge Honour"

[@enricopucci7413]

I can't believe the Brazilian Kermit once had hair in this video was missing the "HEY GUYS IS HUGE HONOR FOR ME"

[@DeepDiveJJ]

“Brazilian Kermit” 😂

[@superbroolyy]

Roger is on another level

[@DeepDiveJJ]

He def is!

[@seanmurphyification]

Hey guys! Huge honor for me!

[@DeepDiveJJ]

[@Trephining]

I'd be curious to hear the height/weight stats of each going into this match. Roger's physicality is non-trivial to say the least.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Hmm yea I'm curious too

[@25davidhenry]

awesome breakdown!

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Thank you!

[@rockdeworld]

Thanks for making this. Why did Roger give up the first guillotine?

[@thos1618]

The way I saw it, was the guillotine was for threat and control. Once he used it to resquare, reflatten and force Faria to bring his hands up, it had completed it's purpose and Roger could go back into his A-game.

[@drewp1974]

How crazy. I was just wondering if these 2 had ever matched up. Faria vs the GOAT

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yup, Roger really put it on em

[@blackblog]

Boy, Faria is really something.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

He fought hard but Roger was just too much 😅

[@adventuresandvacations4947]

what a great honor for me to see Bernardo with hair. lol 😂

[@DeepDiveJJ]

😂 The bald look matches him so well though

[@kobe51]

Concise explanations, which can be a rare thing in a bjj dojo. 😅

[@lowlowseesee]

I’m at 10th planet and we always have good explanation lol. I think more traditional schools have teachers that don’t explain these complex concepts thoroughly

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Thank you! Glad you found it useful

[@perrypelican9476]

Roger is the best. Faria was great too. Faria has a good KZbin channel now.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yup and his own instructional business too aka BJJFanatics

[@islrubsca2330]

BJJ Scout... is that you? I've missed you.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

😂 hopefully one day they'll get back to bjj breakdowns

[@MrSupertwo]

Roger is such a massive dude. Faria is already a big guy, Roger dwarfs him. Rogers positional control on top has a lot to do with this.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yea Roger really shut him down. Crazy how technically sound he is especially considering he is a big guy.

[@MrSupertwo]

@@DeepDiveJJ The guy has been doing Jiu-jitsu his entire life around some of the best players ever, the Gracie Family. I'd expect nothing less.

[@thos1618]

Every top competitor uses a game that maximizes their physical attributes.

[@artvandelay2591]

Trying to pull deep half guard against Roger was a big mistake.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Most definitely was!

[@jiujitsustudent604]

Grappling with Roger, probably anything feels like a mistake.

[@thos1618]

Funny how Faria rushed him to avoid falling into Roger's game, and yet did exactly that. You guys might recall Cat Zingano vs Rousey.

[@mikereed3915]

Roger was the best in the world 🌎 He still doesn’t get enough credit when they talk about how great he was

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yea he was definitely something special!

[@badxradxandy]

My dude Bernardo pulling 1/8 guard.

[@ricozam7733]

It's a huge honor to get choked by Roger Gracie!

[@DeepDiveJJ]

[@chrisgrady4466]

Bernardo style of bjj looks miserable...a lot of the time someone is latched onto his head. I know he wins a lot but damn that looks so uncomfortable

[@geofflangdale8127]

@@chrisgrady4466 can confirm. I play a style heavily influenced by BF and whether passing or bottom you're getting a lot of push and pull on head and neck. Not a good game for a young man wanting to keep their good looks. Fortunately I am middle-aged and funny looking already.

Gracie BJJ #1

[@DeepDiveJJ]

🐐

[@henrikg1388]

I don't know why I came to think of this, but the only chance BJJ will ever be an Olympic sport, is through Judo, which may be called free-style Judo, as in wrestling. Extended time on the ground, no guard pulling, and straight leg locks permitted. It would be good for both sports/arts. With the current rules, not a snowballs chance in hell. But maybe that is best for BJJ.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

Yea i think the guard pulling can look a little foolish. Especially with all the double guard pulling

[@kallepikku4991]

Lesson of the story: Bigger man won.

[@DeepDiveJJ]

At this level where competitors are so close in skill, the weight is definitely a huge factor.

[@MRGCProductions20996]

Bernardo used to have hair
