BJJ Scout: Demian Maia Study Part 3 - Finishing Sequences & Advanced Recounters

[@mvpmvp3861]

Anytime I get a notification from this channel I stop everything I'm doing to watch. Great video!

[@virginiominervini]

Scout, your videos are incredible. Thank you for continuously sharing so much with the Jiu Jitsu community.

[@Deleteriously]

Best breakdowns, for sure. You have helped my striking and grappling games elevate with your videos and I don't have to work on anything, the increased knowledge/understanding just helps my approach, so the improvement is immediate. I am deeply grateful.

[@caius6019]

I'm glad you decided to start this channel I really love your breakdowns and the fact there are people willing to share their knowledge with others. it's a real treat being able to watch fighters in real time and know what they're doing and why considering its pretty hard to pick it apart in real time only seeing it once like most of us do. Even if we train lol. so again thanks its a great channel.

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Caius heh cool, thanks, glad you find them useful!

[@a2thej2008]

you are doing gods work

[@bingowoohoo]

HA! in the previous video the entire time i was thinking SINGLE X! BJJ Scout, on point as always. Great series!

[@MNaeem5]

Another beauty,concise and full of crucial info as usual!

[@r.b.4611]

Love how the last video was partly about how Maia switches passes to trick you then you open with a Brian Stann line about how Maia says tricking people is less important than the fundamentals.

[@jasonjayalap]

Stann said “tricks are not” (that is, latest gimmick), not “tricking (people) is not”.

[@RiverCityWarriorsPortland]

I'm impressed! To figure out the dynamic of "invisible force" and yielding to opponents by shifting hips and alternating base is nothing short of incredible. If you truly didn't come up learning these principles and discovered them through research that's astounding. Incredible video. Lastly I just say, these principles are core to Jiu Jitsu, and everyone should be learning them at their home academy. If not, then it is not real Jiu Jitsu,

[@thomaslee6607]

So happy that you're back with regular vids. Please continue, you're a legend.

[@mmakings2735]

Demian Maia's ground game is awesome!!

[@bjjrage]

awesome, maias passing it really is art in motion.

[@vincehold5799]

Remember, too, that all the single-leg X people you mentioned were all, or at one point, students of John Danaher/Renzo Gracie: Eddie Cummings, Rory MacDonald, Gunnar...I think it would serve well to look at the commonalities of them all as a possible answer to the leg lock phenomenon coming from Eddie/Garry Tonon/Gordon Ryan. I think it would be a cool video. Maybe Maia has a good answer to that.

[@lucasabrahao2403]

Your videos are helping me a lot to learn more about Jiu jitsu!! Thank you very much!

[@8justintracy8]

Awesome! Thank you!! Please keep them coming-- I'm learning so much from you!

[@christianknight3955]

your breakdowns are really inspiring! I now watch fight footage from various disciplines with pen and paper taking down notes to improve my overall fight IQ. Thank you👊

[@John2corner]

Bjj Scout. You are simply awesome! Thanks for the good works! Wish you all the best!

[@ChemognosticCrucifixion]

PART FOUR PLEASE I'M STILL DYING.

[@victurchen]

Amazing. Can't wait for part 4.

[@westonroberts8973]

BJJ Scout, you my friend have earned many subscribers! I'm telling everyone at my gym about your page. It's exactly what I've been looking. I'm a high rank blue belt so most videos don't teach me much. Especially when it comes to fundamental bjj but the high level DETAIL is awesome in your vids. Thanks man! Keep it up.

[@guidoc25]

You're like a grappling analysis video god

[@snappiegappie]

great series and videos. part 4 please :)

[@emZee1994]

I love series's like this. keep it up

[@stackingdough]

thanks, Keenan ;) these are by far my favourite videos you have done. Super technical details! You sir are a mad genius.

[@BJJSCOUT]

thanks...wait...you like this more than the wormguard one...

[@rileyemery5614]

Beautiful beautiful stuff man keep it up

[@andrewyu8589]

rewatching this over and over before UFC takes this off. Great job as always BJJSCOUT

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Andrew Yu hmm there's always vigilante downloading ...

[@begrackled]

I've said it before, I'm pretty sure your videos are a slam-dunk for fair use under US copyright law. Honestly, I think you should lawyer up. If you do, let us know. I, for one, would totally be willing to dump some cash into a kickstarter. Good luck, man.

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Dave L. Thanks... Who knows, I'm still thinking about my options...

[@paulbjjmooso]

Love the break downs!! is it possible to show them doing the moves in slow motion in the real fights in the videos?

[@ManusMeridiem]

More videos please!!!!

[@ajaxSAF]

Thanks BJJSCOUT!

[@vizhns]

best music on a video too!

[@mtbjjbtt2873]

Sub'd. Beautiful work man. What Demian Maia does in the octagon , in my opinion, is jiujitsu in its purest form.

[@trust_deed_scotland]

Great music BTW

[@dkoli]

Suggestion. Anderson silva is considered by many the goat. Would be cool to see how and why he was so dominant. His timing and head movement is incredible. Even still. But I'm sure there's more too it.

[@MetalGamer666]

Can you elaborate on the outrage that got you started? Thanks! Awesome videos.

[@THEBLOODKING123]

Love the videos. Could you do an MMA guard study? say Nate Diaz?

[@JeetKuneDoBelgrade]

Excelent job, as always! Best regards and thanks for the insight!

[@crenatojls]

I've really appreciated your work!!! I'm looking forward to Demian Maia's video part 4 Thanks in advance!!! =]]

[@thaitran3985]

Demian Maia vs Condit preview pls?? For UFC 202. love your vids man! awsome job

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Thai Tran yea now that the fight is made probably the last part 5 will be a preview

[@rustilldownrememberme9324]

+BJJSCOUT any chance of a hunt vs lesnar vid i know it's a weird fight but i would like your opinion on it i thought hunt had it easy until i rewatched brocks fights and remembered his dominant ground game especially the way he handled mir if not who you got?????

[@BJJSCOUT]

hmm, well Brock v Hunt = heavy weight version of Condit v Maia heh, striker v grappler....gameover if either one can impose their game...i'm neutral but in general im always siding with the grappler in style v style

[@thaitran3985]

BJJSCOUT they dont quite excatly fit the moult of the traditional grappler vs striker

[@rustilldownrememberme9324]

Thai Tran they exactly fit the mould of grappler vs striker don't know what fighters you have them mistaken for...Lesnar world class grappler and hunt straight out striker who exactly doesn't fit the mould????

[@ynovations]

Could you in part 5 show us how to counter Maia's tripod? Or to be exact his BJJ game. Really appreciated your videos!

[@qcasey]

THANK YOU!

[@johnhans3582]

Killin the game scout!

[@Grnvolpe]

What a smotherer. Maia is like quicksand. I hate whenever I fight I like has to go up against him

[@xcvb22]

instantly watched in fullscreen. first time ever when vid was over, did I look to see if any bastards disliked it. great vids man.

[@lectornovato]

This is priceless, thank you very very much!

[@sufferstream8]

Maia needs a title shot man!

[@maxdyupin8255]

Great video!

[@شخالفرقة]

Dat music doe... Great video.

[@josephbaxley5276]

Amazing stuff... Wow

[@syedmeraj4584]

The Prometheus of mma Bjj scout!:)

[@nmisoo]

It would be super awesome if you breakdown the fighting style of Stephen Thompson. Btw thanks a lot for the vid, great job as always :)

[@ReggieNoble637]

Damn you! Scout. Now I'm an addict

[@sybmundybuildingnorthernri6049]

You definitely show your dewp understanding of jiu jitsu in the damien vids there qre so many invisible dedqils in his game 🙏

[@nickbrown9163]

Great videos Scout and War Maia!!! (hoping he subs Usman tonight)

[@joseburgos5710]

Fucking amazing work . These videos are excellent. Cheers!

[@ChemognosticCrucifixion]

Cmon where's part 4 I'm dying here. I have a tourney Saturday morning need more guard sweeps to mount help.

[@PTS.MT.Goalie.BJJ.Andrew]

I was always wondering why doesn't Maia put shoulder pressure on the guys jaw in reverse half guard. You would think you would have less control in mma. I'm really curious why he doesn't do this. You would think its riskier doing it his way because you could give up your back. Maybe this is one of those techniques that don't work as well for the lighter guys since D.M. is a welterweight..just wondering what other people think about it..

[@BJJSCOUT]

+JiuJitsu9 he does cross face as well, depends on the situation ...

[@bigrider1980]

good

[@Jenovasreunion]

please, when you do provide the barrier vs trapping guard series, cover rubber guard, Williams, butterfly and half guard

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Jason Sieckmann I'll cover it but more in terms of when to use... I don't really do instructional videos tbh... More like overall strategy and decision making... Might be easier to watch the how to guides on Yt, some good ones free online...

[@Jenovasreunion]

+BJJSCOUT oh no, that's all I wanted was the where and when. I'm extremely familiar with all of the aforementioned guards. Mainly, I'm concerned with your outlook on what you feel is truly effective. There are a lot of theorists out there without data

[@nfriedman35]

awesome! maybe slow it down on the very key points

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Nick Friedman like slow motion? Or longer pauses

[@nfriedman35]

i would decrease speed by 50% on the ones where positions are shifted like where a leg is placed into elevator so we get a clearer sense of where things are going. then on the the pauses I would hold longer and animate the arrows so that the directions make a bigger impact (nothing more than same arrows you currently use moving along the path they're on or circles narrowing their circumfrence). this is all minor criticism though. these videos are spectacular!!

[@AnananasFanta]

When I tripod over guard I get countered with kimura. Keep that in mind guys!

[@jkyle1018]

5 single leg X users weren't happy about this.

[@eugenesong8357]

I wonder how Rickson vs Maia would've went?

[@raiklaub975]

if you turn off the sound you can watch the video

[@thaitran3985]

50k face reveal?

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Thai Tran I think I get a little plaque from YT if I hit 100k, maybe a selfie then

[@rustilldownrememberme9324]

+BJJSCOUT yeah bro you need the respect even though i believe you are either an ex pro fighter or a pro trainer no one with your knowledge can be a nobody anyway much respect and thx for the uploads keep up the great work....

[@thaitran3985]

BJJSCOUT i dont really mind, its just what the fans want it seems

[@afreiden]

He started posting about the same time that GSP retired. COINCIDENCE!?

[@thaitran3985]

afreiden I THINK NOT!!

[@Fischerrrrrrrr]

Was he really in reverse half guard? Looked like a normal half guard to me

[@zerr0ww]

song?

[@BJJSCOUT]

hi in the description below in all my vids...

[@richardleonhard3971]

Why is it called "reverse half guard"? I don't train so this may sound stupid. I get that it's not traditional half guard but it doesn't seem reversed.

[@BJJSCOUT]

well typically half guard you are looking at the person, looking for crossfaces. So in reverse your back is turned, your legs are also angled/pointing towards the person's legs. It's just bjj nomenclature, to help break up the positions. There are others like reverse mount, reverse scarf hold etc etc...its confusing i guess if you dont get into the whole bjj terminology....u can YT a few vids on reverse half guard to learn more

[@MachoMaster]

Because you are sitting on your other hip. So instead of your chest pointing at your opponent, it's your back.

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Richard Leonhard ^^ok what he said

[@richardleonhard3971]

Thanks, guys :D

[@Jenovasreunion]

i thought you were going to compare trapping guards to barrier guards in mma :(

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Jason Sieckmann that will be its own series, it's quite a complex thing to try reframe a narrative... It will happen though, not as long as Cruz part 2 I hope

[@Jenovasreunion]

+BJJSCOUT I do hope it's as long :)

[@BJJSCOUT]

+Jason Sieckmann it was almost 1 year between Part 1 and Part 2, careful what you wish for....

[@thebearway6289]

the murilo part 3, I´ve lost all my grandparents waiting for that one

[@ChemognosticCrucifixion]

IT BURNS US

[@TheTaoofEternalWar]

Love the videos, can't stand the music.

[@valetudo530]

Good vid but what is this music..

[@r.b.4611]

I like it.

[@rodrigomiziarayunes4763]

nice video, but gay music

[@mehdimeziri]

thanks for this BJJSCOUT . Can you please do a part concentrating soly on his GnP , wich helps him get passes ? Please no selfies , I don't want to know who you are ...

[@BJJSCOUT]

he can't do much as he is posting...but sometime he will do it if he has a free post, he trades off GnP opportunities to keep the guy flattened, you'll see in part 4 why he gave it up
