Cross Choke Mastery Seminar (Rener Gracie)

[@bluejackscanada]

"like a flower in the Spring" LOL. Love it!

[@panick_9550]

I giggled at that part

[@DeathrashWhiplash]

Beautiful

[@danielsalerno1571]

5:29 i implemented this motion on mount on a heavyweight (im 150) and this is REAL thank you so much for showing this instruction video. because of rener and this video, i heard the wind get knocked out, eyes go wide, and mobility goes down as confusion goes up. i implore anyone to try this, it makes you feel unstoppable

[@anubisthedog2]

he really is a good instructor. you may not like him or his family, but he's a great teacher

[@kc7409]

I don't understand why people don't like him..

[@WeBreakItAllDownRightHere]

There is no reason to not like Rener, and most of the Gracie family. They aren't all perfect, but no one's family is

[@uncleheffe309]

@joshua2585 stop hating, the female Gracie's would snap your neck easily.

[@bryanfong1023]

joshua2585 too bad they never learned jiujitsu. They learned judo, its just that they call it jiujitsu bc when they learned judo, it was still called kano jiujitsu. But jiujitsu and bjj are two entirely different martial arts (jiujitsu they still teach you some strikes and the ground fight is not emphasized), and they in fact invented bjj.

[@GoogleMeAgain]

Hes a fuckin top guy and dont know why anybody would dislike him.

[@Tiantkd]

I m not a jiujutsu student myself, but i can stop watching Rener videos and falling in love with it to the point that i m just now reestablishing my schedule to make it fit on my week. XD It is amazing the way he analizes each tachnique and passes his knowledge to all of us. PD: Sorry for my english. Still studing it.

[@anonymouse7095]

Has to be one of the most charismatic people on the planet

[@ajabisong]

Agreed!

[@npb3287]

What I love about Rener is you truly feel and visualize his passion for the art. He is able to give you direction as well as thought process involved to complete technique. Which in my opinion g8ves the individual the thought process to be able to adapt the technique to their body type and competence. As a white belt I feel I am learning better hearing the principal rather than step by step directions. Love this community

[@psychlos21]

Rener, you rock. Thank you and Ryron for your high level Jiu Jitsu teaching and positive attitudes.

[@snamone]

The most energetic Gracie ever. Great technique.

[@KaliDreamer]

💐 Like a flower in spring 💐 *CHOKES YOU UNCONSCIOUS*

[@lachlanstill]

haha! I was about to comment the same thing. So great.

[@nickyboyjiu-jitsu3612]

Rener Gracie really is amazing!! And one of my favorite instructors to watch 💯🤙I really like how he breaks eveything down and how he really brings the spotlight on the little details that are crucial game changers! Thank you for the instructional!! Even after 12 years of me training jiu jitsu you have shined light on some small little details that i havent thought to use before that i wil now start adding in my game!!

[@slavicvolk]

1:12 1:25 hand trap 1:54 frame escape and counter 3:43 trap and roll w frame 4:18 preventing roll knee post

[@COACH_ANTHONY_MMA]

I love his passion when he teaches.

[@BeechwoodAging]

So true Rener. "First to learn, last to master." Great technique though game changer for sure!

[@dijkstra4678]

Have to get to mount first 😂

[@Matti-ice]

I got to train with Sam from this video. Learning from these guys is incredible!

[@elephantju-jitsu3086]

I don't understand why anyone would dislike this video. Even if they like their way better this is still good information and a solid alternative.

[@SKULLVONKRUSH69]

Rener you're the man. Make it so easy to understand. Thank You brotha

[@JickFincter]

Rener I just want to say you're doing your family proud.

[@Drderp-hd5bb]

He's best teacher in the world, I would love to train at that academy

[@jeffersonsmith6109]

I learned all these techniques from uncle Royce for years. These Gracie brothers never fail to develop and add new details to what I learned years ago.

[@TrishCanyon8]

Rener is a great instructor. What I've come to realize is that Ryron, the quieter brother, is too. I've learned so many things from him. ❤

[@opl3sa]

I love Rener gracie, thank you so much for this information, I don't even practice jiu jitsu much anymore but this stuff is so very instructive. Thank you!!

[@hughgrection7246]

Hell of a salesman ....

[@ev3nflow]

The rener/university way of teaching, as opposed to the old school gracie barra, like carlos or my old coach lucio lagarto, really divided folks, ive seen both and i have to say rener is a hell of a teacher, his breakdown and explanation is second to none.

[@DanDanJanJanJP]

He is a salesman. He gives a bit of the technique for free in order to hook the student into buying the whole, in this case, 7 windows.

[@meruemo776]

There is no shame in making money. It's honourable to give people such a great product (BJJ) in exchange for your time

[@cicerobg]

Its called good marketing. Awesome combination when you offer great service.

[@brucehall2498]

I wish all salesmen were like this. Like I get a free gallon of gas for going to the station and get to decide if I want to buy 7 more gallons or not.

[@BillyHandsome]

Man...you Gracie guys are something else!!!....awesome

[@wolf-qe5ol]

Tried it yesterday for the first time and it worked straight away!

[@direitofinanceiroceub1352]

After I saw some of your videos: I no longer adopt the "free hate all Gracies" (a few bad ones and many students made the reputation for all). Not only that, but I also felt like it is time to give Jiu-Jitsu another shot. For all that, I really wanted to thank you. Great videos!

[@soffdarbau]

.....like a flower in the spring....... OMG That is the funniest line ever, can not wait till Melbourne seminar for more 'Rentertainment' ...........

[@nathanhooker4612]

How long do I need it dead for? Literally 1.3 seconds

[@Sicktempertyrannis]

amazing video and instruction - will up my choke game for sure

[@gabrielalicea4803]

This is great insight. I've never seen these details before. Thank you.

[@thewarriorsfactorygym5750]

You're a great teacher man🙏🙏🙏 really helps me

[@td344509]

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS, PLEASE KEEP MAKING THEM!!

[@ricardorick2176]

This is science! Good job Rener! Isso é ciencia, bom trabalho Rener!

[@FormidableOne]

5:48 'I did it for you' 😂😂😂😂👍

[@cyberjoe77]

What a legacy your O Avó left you. Awesome!

[@DronesInJail]

can't wait to apply this tomorrow at my gym yay!!!

[@SomethingNewOficial]

I love Rener Gracie 😄, he's so cool

[@robertovelarde354]

Have no idea why you wouldn’t like this dude.

[@stanharjak1491]

When this Cross Choke is set=GAME OVER!!!!!💯🥇🥋🤘

[@stanharjak1491]

I really like Reners Personally. He has a Great Soul.......,🥇💯

[@mozinq5445]

[@joehill4945]

Wow, very nice details, thanks.

[@Kcicone]

This was a cool video, I enjoyed how you explained and demonstrated it.

[@eddied.8361]

Looks like so much fun,and easy ( just have to be repetitious )❤️

[@mr.d4317]

[@jaredtansley3236]

Absolutely amazing brother

[@sdzachar]

[@realjmaloi]

Man, y'all have such a positive energy, I love this Art. #ArashiDo

[@suyunlee1696]

I love your teaching!

[@jslearner]

Thanks for your videos. great instruction and explination.

[@jptothetree]

I watched this video YEARS ago but totally forgot about that shake detail to get the forearms nicely under the chin. Dammit! Could have been using that this _whole_ time.

[@jamtime4978]

Hate to steal mind smashes line but thank you Rener Gracie for this lesson

[@RaulRezilient]

Rener, bro. I drove to Seattle from Dallas, TX for work and were on our way back and we got stuck in Fort Collins. While driving in the Company van up here I seen a sign that said Gracie Jiu jitsu & I immediately looked it up & flipped out that it was your gym. I'm seriously thinking about moving it out here just to train with you guys. I wanted to check it out but it said not open until 4pm and we should already be on our way to Dallas by then.

[@2003pblakey]

Good stuff! The slightest adjustments help alot!

[@doRseries1]

Anther great video. When I do attempt to do this I always get swept

[@ericwilliams1595]

Is the whole seminar available on video anywhere?

[@0713mas]

The Genius of Maeda and Helio!

[@jasonanimal1161]

Loved this video! Thank you🙏 oss👊

[@michaelokamoto5988]

You guys need to come to Japan and teach this stuff

[@gregory57481]

rener you just blew my mind. I have a sneakier way of doing it but that is fucking genius. people always defend it that way so it's perfect.

[@nobbytang]

Excellent info and video

[@shepsfn2692]

If you place your wrist underneath to set up to trap his hand, do you not give him one of your bases ? Surely if he bridged to the same side of the hand he’s grabbed, you’d have nothing to post on? I’m a beginner, just wanted to understand this fully 👍🏼 love the videos

[@PhyZack]

"LIKE A FLOWER IN THE SPRING" Mastering BJJ and poetry at the same time.

[@bigThunk983]

Really helpful stuff, thank you !

[@xcharles1]

1m33s “Grab my hand. Other hand! That won’t save you.” Ah yeah, it will.

[@dubhudz]

s mount arm bar disagrees

[@Duukar]

expand my chest like a flower in the spring.... so poetic!

[@marvinsepp3202]

Yet again BJJ blows my mind.

[@NytiUlos]

Thank you for the video! When you post your foot to prevent the roll at the end, can he not underhook that leg and give you trouble?

[@miguel.h.collins]

make it happen in los angeles. Thank you on the video.

[@leeting8590]

from the "unbridgeable" position, do you find they go into single leg-x? they will be able to break the choke grip from there unless they are already unconscious.lol.

[@semja]

What a fantastic tutorial

[@PaulOutsidetheWalls]

Rener, this was quite helpful. - white belt

[@dwhizzel6471]

Man that's a huge mat. Howd ya even get it in the building

[@dcv1979]

It’s 2018 and Derrick Holmes made me come here!

[@KyleMechlinski]

So it’s the combination of the gi and the forearms on the top of neck that actually close the choke not the actual fabric of the lapel?

[@BJJandBS]

Rener is a great instructor

[@gizmocatblackpilled6921]

Is there any kind of defense/tricks to this if you are on the bottom and unlucky enough to be wearing a Gi? Thanks

[@darrylgreer68]

Always caught in a cross joke,especially whislt in my partners guard...kills me!😂😂

[@kapil8538]

Axe Grao Mestre Helio Gracie 🙏

[@wccrispy]

If you put your head to the opposite side of the top-hand would you not get a tighter squeeze?

[@TheJvg3]

like a flower in the spring!

[@KOP1968]

Great stuff 😊👍🏾

[@MonarchDragonz18]

Love vids each piece of learning vab be applied to life and protection I use it in my mental health class Renner and assist work great together to help self defense get to everyone yeah my all time fav assist is now big timestar #tcity . So proud of each you I enjoy lessons. Of corse world will get see gjj applied during tuf show maybe few more viewer and learn from it that watch. TUF show.

[@FEARSWTOR]

Question: Is this only viable in compectition vs a gi that is stitched for fighting? Or can it work practically on someone using a cheap walmart button-up? Asking for a friend.... who has it coming.

[@slaffkas]

Cheap clothes will be torn soon. If you use no gi techniques, then you do not grab the clothes.

[@Garronrom828]

It’s works with clothing but ruins the clothes usually

[@eduardotoledo2744]

i cross choke everybody when I mount, doenst matter the gi kkk

[@uncleheffe309]

Shitty fabric just means the material has a chance to separate vertabrae when applied tightly.vThey can leave the nastiest rings around people's necks.

[@TheLZempir3]

Most clothing will behave like a gi at least once.

[@dolphinton]

Thank you so much sir..amazing

[@andrewmccarney]

this is cool but my training partner's gis are very rarely this loose and they always tuck their chins when im trying to get the second collar grip . What's the play in those situations?

[@flick345]

Hi Rener, this video is a great review for those who attended the seminar. The videotaping is not allowed, so this one is very helpful. Which lesson of the Master Cycle this technique appears in? It would be really nice if it was made available for all registered GU members for a month. The x-guard lesson has been an eye opener. In any case, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and inspiration. Keep up the fire! Much respect!

[@travelarmless]

the key words for me were "grab the collar" what i'd like to know is firstly what if the person on the bottom doesn't have a collar and secondly is there a version of this or is it possible to use this when you're a mma fighter during a fight?

[@Tylar122]

+Twisted Gemini Tv A cross choke is gi reliant....If you're an mma fighter and asking if you can do lapel chokes in an mma match you need a new sport, friend.

[@sanch56]

I forgot who said it, but I heard the "cross choke", as Rener calls it, is actually called the "cobra strike". I don't know. The guy who calls it that is a well-known Jiu-Jitsu black belt who's got a lot of stuff on youtube. He sometimes has a rhino patch on the back of his gi, kind of an older white guy. Some people out there might know who I'm talking about.

[@anklebar1]

I know he's not super into tourneys but this guy should get in shape and go out and represent the classic style....

[@youmang]

I have always noticed it's harder to maintain some positions when you have short legs.

[@dancheesman1752]

Great video

[@kingades1013]

0:33 initial shot, escape prevention to the final compression

[@kingades1013]

0:55 The mount position for then cross choke beginning. Right hand to left collar vice versa

[@kingades1013]

1:00 To prevent the hands being ready to catch or mess up the shot, bring the left hand under the right towards the right collar. This is bait to let the hand be grabbed then grip with the knee

[@kingades1013]

1:12 Go under...

[@kingades1013]

1:21 When someone grabs your hand pull it upwards towards the quads then put the knee on the arms pit

[@kingades1013]

1:50 Two types of defence or escape strategies when locked in. Frames or bridges and rolls

[@mike-yp1uk]

What is sam bridged as a set up to slide his hand in between the arms and around to his ear. Then he could do that all day long.

[@cerebraldatajack4994]

Thank you Renner! OSU!
