Gracie Insider - How to Mount at the Gracie Academy in Miami

[@aliticx]

Dude is gotta be the best bjj instructor ever, his explanation is so clear.

[@SCROGY]

You can tell that Renner is an excellent teacher just by his speaking skills. You don't hear any: Ummmmm.....ahhhhhhhh......hurrrrrrrr from this guy. He knows exactly what he wants to say and puts it together very concisely. Superb!

[@ggevor1]

Rener has the most structured, cohesive, and clear approach to teaching jiu jitsu, which makes him a truly gifted professor.

[@xmanrules2001]

I used to train with Rorion and Royce and Rickson back in the days and although Ive never trained with Renner after watching these videos of his this young man is a great teacher!

[@abiwankinobi]

Rener and Ryron are the best instructors in jiu-jitsu I've ever seen. I've trained at local places and the instructors are good. I've never met Rener or Ryron but I have all of their DVD's and I always check out their online videos, and even through these media their instruction seems so much clearer and more detailed than anything I've gotten at local gyms. I wish I lived out in Torrance so I could go the Academy and train in person. Thanks, guys.

[@grsurflove]

Incredible instructor, with a ton of knowledge and enthusiasm...Rener truly brings honor to his family

[@brotendo]

Very clear and full of detail. Getting the basics and fundamentals down perfectly is the key to great jiu-jitsu. When i first started in 2001, I whined to my instructor (Caique, formerly at the Gracie Academy) that we kept doing the same stuff every week. Mount escapes, side mount escape, guard escape, defense, basic offense... I complained for months until I competed. I was amazed how strong I in technique compared to other students. Basics and a good foundation are everything.

[@RightWingCon81]

I was thinking the same thing about the escape when his other leg comes off the mat I'm glad he covered it. I love this guy, he's so thorough and very slow and patient with his explanations of the techniques. I'll try this in class.

[@thecardmonkey]

Beautiful teaching. It reminds me of how Pedro Sauer teaches. Very detail oriented and nothing is to unimportant to mention.

[@billbixby557]

Rener cracks me up when he emphasizes a particular word: stiff-arm is too good LOOOOOK! Thanks for the exceptional instruction gentlemen 🥋

[@anthonygerber8261]

Rener looks so young here! Excellent instruction as usual.

[@Mouzren]

God bless and helps you. I have always had problems going from side to mount so that I decided to stop trying it. now and thanks to you I will be able to overcome this obstacle.

[@SwimmingInSeas]

technique starts at 3:03

[@RodrigoVanilla93]

"Rener always sounds like he's trying to teach or sell you something." LOL thats the reason why hes so good at teaching people! cos hes got so much enthusiasm, so you learn better too

[@TheParatoy]

this man is so amazing, respect for u rener

[@ktokash1]

Excellent detail added to my game, thanks a lot.

[@incufish]

Wow... what a great training facility.

[@takidabossen]

it is the best mounting technique i'v seen! but i noticed one speciall weakness, and that is when you put the knee on the stomach. even tough you put your right hand out for base it can still be kind of hard to keep the base if you face a strong opponent. therefore i usually do it kinda fast.

[@DeletedDelusion]

Wow, very interesting detail. Awesome.

[@CooperHaydenn]

he his always trying to teach or sell us something. and hes amazing at both.

[@holywar911]

nice! R.I.P ryan we all miss him

[@ricksongracie6510]

osss brothers , I will come to your academy in september .

[@WaldemarBorowski]

excellent explanation !

[@flameicedragon]

i really wanna go check this academy out in Miami i live in wpb so its not that far =)

[@joergus]

VERY nice.. ill go for this technique keep on ! i love the gracies

[@luvit579]

awesome video, i'll try it tomorrow.

[@chavamma]

I totally agree with you, great concept there! He's always saying Keep It Real, As a Judoka I keep my slef-defense real 100% all the time, I practice BJJ though I dont like the concept of starting on the floor in a real fight like you said you won't be on the floor you hit em hard, effectively & get out. MMA is just exchanging technique with your opponent so basiclly he'll always come back 2 beat you and vise versa. Nice statement there! Keep'n It Real! -Kind Regards- ChavaMMA

[@titojones6127]

Great teacher

[@cashmanking]

Awesome stuff, just great.

[@DaJackal05]

Lucky you! That was a nice lesson, thanks!

[@Analplata]

What happened to Technique of the Month for January-March? Did I miss something?

[@SHates]

Brilliant!

[@sander170]

Cool!

[@BLarsenPhoto]

I tried it today at training and it didn't work. Now that I've watched it again I see it was because I didn't get his front arm sandwiched between my arm and knee. I wonder how you go about grabbing the arm and getting it out if they fight to keep their arms close to their body?

[@smallscreentv1204]

Thank you :)

[@TomSmall]

I seem to find it very Difficult/Impossible to pass a Stronger/Bigger persons guard, they clasp there feet behind my back and all i can do is fight off the submission attempts and stay low to them. I am pretty new. Only a month doing Jiujitsu. :) I Would appreciate some advice on how to break apart the grip they have with their feet behind my back please?

[@k00lkane]

Bigger and stronger with a certain amount of knowledge in jiu jitsu of course!

[@matrix1951]

thanks !

[@kanguesso]

@YyJoBb It is an advantage in most combat sports if you know how to use your hight TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Your reach can go along way, both literally and figuratively. It obviously also has its disadvantages. It depends on the individual in my opinion. At the end of the day, all of us have to work with what we have.

[@GracieGoldsboro]

i wish more people understood that being good at jiu-jitsu has nothing to do with being a tough guy or hurting people

[@Manny1222]

@TriangleJiuJitsu They are great teachers. The thing about fighting and training anything physical like this you can immediately tell how the person is. There is no hiding behind punches or being a tough guy when training because then you can't learn and those around you can't learn with you either. I have been having someone think they can put their thumb on my forehead whenever they want. I am calmer now that I KNOW I can handle with with no problem. But if I have to I will use what I know.

[@Pallhh]

nice instruction

[@williamlaurin7811]

Nice mount.

[@steverequina5713]

Good afternoon Gracie Academy. I agree that majority of fights are avoidable. But i just want to ask if whenever i am there in that position, is IT POSSIBLE THAT MY OPPONENT CAN BITE ME? HOW CAN I COUNTER THAT?

[@35november]

I am not a representative of the Gracie Academy. With that being said, if you have found yourself in a physical altercation in which someone wishes to do you harm and is resorting to biting you (in some states biting is actually an escalated criminal offense), running has been ruled out as a possibility, and you believe that grappling this person and mounting them may be the best course of action you may have to expect that some harm will come to you in the process. Keeping pressure on their face, with your shoulder or elbow, may be a way to help prevent this. Otherwise, I would recommend a more upward posture when passing to mount assuming your "opponent" is not skilled in grappling. If you are a practitioner of BJJ you should find this easy against an unskilled opponent. Also look up knee on belly techniques, something police often practice for those who wish to bite them. Always be aware that an opponent may have many weapons at their disposal, such as a knife, or they be infected with a communicable disease in which blood or saliva may infect you. With this being said, defensive measures are always the highest priority. Good luck.

[@JCR888]

Question has rener ever fought in the ufc

[@thewarrior6784]

No. He never did.

[@tornjak096]

does anybody know how much you need to pay per month to train in Grace Academy

[@mongolchiuud8931]

600 dollars a month 3 days a week...

[@tuuufast5821]

Kama Jiu-jitsu that’s not true.

[@exiled68]

5 people couldn't avoid being mounted this way and disliked the video.

[@rhdadrian]

dang thats crazy certified by helio himself now thats badass

[@gkdrummerboy]

I wish there were this amount of black belts to teach everywhere....

[@sanucesMMA]

I would really like to thank the Gracies for sharing with the rest of the world unlike classical martial arts that are very secretive with their techniques. They could have kept it for themselves and kept winning all the time. Knowing BJJ doesn't guarantee winning, BUT not knowing BJJ very much guarantees losing.

[@imaginableAudio]

Damn I wish I knew this before. I always got trapped in half guard

[@rogertaukamo6915]

Osss brothers

[@RightWingCon81]

@TriangleJiuJitsu Nah, people want an art that takes on 6 guys at once, and you break everyone's face. They don't get that GJJ is about options. I can hold you, choke you , or REALLY hurt you even more so than ANY striking art. In fact Royce once said GJJ is better at striking than any striking art, he meant from the mount or other dominant position, and he was right.

[@bornfedslaughter]

There is a search bar on youtube..passing the guard can be one of the hardest things about bjj...a month?? lol..don't be worried about that. Learn to stall and survive submissions in the guard rather than pass (if you can't pass).

[@Robopencil]

Rener always sounds like he's trying to teach or sell you something.

[@2submit]

@kingshahine nahh no one can defeat eddie brabo at marketing

[@anthonymoore6633]

The $65 000 move

[@Mextorious]

@sprawlmessiah how did he know how much it actually costs lol

[@gkdrummerboy]

@stang4lyfe07 I think submissions 101 does a bit less talking than this lol.

[@PRINCECOUNTYBEATS]

yea i never heard of that guy so point proven

[@gutrupture]

i rate this bloke. next step, stop drinking so much beer. even though i am a brown belt

[@therealgeeza]

a real man gives his opponent's plenty of time to tap. snap should never happen with controlled technique!! people tap from pain and from panic. if i can make my opponent panic tap that is suprememly more satisfying than hurting them because i got right inside their head and they will never forget my dominance. if i hurt them, they will forever try to hurt me back. i aim to tap all my opponent's AND aim to hurt none of them!!

[@GHRepresent]

true, the look like they always trying to sell something. so does rorian , his father. that is probably where it gets it from

[@shensuki]

latinos for the win homs:D

[@sprawlmessiah]

$65,000.00 dollar trick? That's expensive LOL!

[@TOUNICMA]

Ah... too bad they are too expensive and too far away.

[@TheNightwolf13]

LOL!!!!! BURN!!

[@Donpaeng]

@guillotinex17 lol. he should have removed that from the script. he knows there's always a counter to a counter. but he usually is a little hyper than usual. seems like he was on meds. haha

[@raironman]

lol

[@RightWingCon81]

random

[@tdBank13]

lol gracies by far are better @ marketing than bravo

[@RightWingCon81]

OK, but first learn to spell KNOCK!

[@aaroncrothers3603]

I’m having trouble with high level guys punching my trailing hip on that swivel. They time it and create escapes. I’m playing with hooking my heel to prevent but very difficult (a technique you showed on mounted triangle w Ryron). Any suggestions other than that?
