How Murilo Santana Changed BJJ Forever

[@JordanVonStrangle_]

You forgot to mention that Murillos voice sounds like the Lord

[@fightskills-CoachK]

I was going to say the same thing

[@Benoni101]

😂😂😂

[@Ken-h9r]

More like Paul Bunayn

[@kairoswave]

My instructor is very good friends with Murilo, and it seems alot of the Barbosa blackbelts say similar stories of how Murilo is one of the most technical and respected pressure passers, they always mentioned how Murilo would destroy everyone during training and trains whether hes injured, straight out of surgery or when not allowed. Another cool fact is there is a video of Murilo rolling for 12 hours straight for a charity event with no breaks. Murilo has inspired many top competitors, the miyao's for example and leandro lo mentioned in his interview how he went back to train with Murilo to feel that "grind, and motivation" he needed to feel the spark to compete again.

[@AlecBaulding]

Thanks for sharing this 🙏🏾

[@alyssondasilva4484]

12 hours WTF, where can we find that video

[@kairoswave]

@@alyssondasilva4484 search up “murilo santana - 12 hours grapplethon 2014”

[@Elcaptrading]

I got to roll with Murillo every day for a week back in 2015. I’ve never again felt that kind of pressure and technique. I was completely humbled.

[@AlecBaulding]

😮

[@MikoAnch]

Visited Unity in 2015 and I had the honor or rolling with the miyao bros and Juny, and getting put to sleep by the legend himself Murillo Santana. Epic visit, one of my fondest BJJ memories

[@AlecBaulding]

Awesome

[@nicholasvperez]

He's been my son's professor for years. Murilo is a legend, and I'm lucky to have found unity jiujitsu.

[@emiliosantoro2446]

Amazing video, all the interspersed knife edits made it extra special.

[@remaurian]

Very great personality good to talk about him, everyone need to know him I met him in 2011 at barbosa team SP , i never forget him big inspiration

[@rufioswitch2132]

Levi Jones Leary credits Murilo for building his unpassable guard, which he showed in CJI

[@AlecBaulding]

Levi was killing it 💪🏾

[@joeglenton3923]

This is very useful. I've tried to develop this passing style for years, but what's been missing is an analysis of MS's guard. Thanks, Alec.

[@AlecBaulding]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tonyc8030]

Purple belt here, training since 2015. I just realized my game now is literally the same as Murillo except i transition to north/south once i pass the guard. Thank you so much for the video. Maybe if I get the chance I’ll visit his gym and ask him to train me for a big tournament.

[@AlecBaulding]

Should be a great learning experience 💪🏾💪🏾

[@Mark-mu2or]

These videos you put together are insanely good 👏👏👏

[@AlecBaulding]

Glad you like them!

[@octdave]

Murilo is a legend, I'm so glad I got to train at Unity a handful of times when the pro training sessions were open to the public. Great guy and training room.

[@AlecBaulding]

❤️

[@arayter]

Great video, thank you! I’ve been working on pressure passing and Murilo vids have been a great source of material. This was a very nice in depth look with some new information. 👍

[@AlecBaulding]

Happy to share 💪🏾

[@dan.de.andrade]

oh man, that knife showing all the time was the edge of this video!

[@AlecBaulding]

🔪🔪🔪🤣

[@ThatKenpoGuy]

Fantastic as always! You should consider doing one on Demian Maia! I love how he was able to use BJJ effectively in MMA and competition and would enjoy watching you do a breakdown on his style :)

[@joelchang4689]

murilo has the deepest voice i heard out of any human

[@clapdrix72]

It's a ridiculous voice

[@brojitsu]

My man with the fire content 💪🏻👊🏻🤙🏻.

[@AlecBaulding]

💪🏾💪🏾

[@danielpena5644]

Great video Alec, I didn't know I needed this video. Murilo Santana is a beast. I've been playing alot of over under passing and deep half. Now I know who's game I need to study more of.

[@StephenVTran]

I recognize hisi name as a noob really cause Levi Jones Leary attributed his impenetrable guard to him after CJI. Cool vid as always! Never knew he was the knife guy til now

[@AlecBaulding]

Murilo forged a lot of great guards over the years 😂

[@dimvaci]

you cannot have a man, with a voice like that and expect him not to have a knife. i am surprised he didn't pull a sword

[@AlecBaulding]

🤣

[@fitnesslibrarian9013]

Or a battle axe. Dude sounds like a real life orc

[@grenet2109]

Thank you Alec, great content !

[@AlecBaulding]

Happy to share 🙌🏾

[@steejansbigeagle1505]

Good video man!!

[@gustavofring1927]

Great vid again. Keep going bro

[@AlecBaulding]

Awesome, got some good vids in the works

[@regiyah]

Wow! So clear how much of an inspiration he is to DDS. Passing and his guard work.

[@TheGeorgegomes]

Great Video man, 🔥🔥🔥

[@AlecBaulding]

Glad you liked it 💪🏾

[@fhagby]

Awesome video alec! 🎉

[@AlecBaulding]

Thanks! 😀

[@Eazymas971]

Very good video. Murilo is underrated grappler.

[@AlecBaulding]

Agreed

[@mario-mp2vf]

this rocks.. murillo is a legend.. thank you

[@samir_murad]

Murilo is one of the most respected guys on the scene! Great video but really disrespectful to be pointing that knife event all the time. A video about his bjj skills has no point on showing that, specially those many times

[@ArielTabak]

Great watch! Real cool to see the shin on shin work and crab ride attacks.

[@kamilion100]

Great video!

[@AlecBaulding]

Thanks!

[@fightskills-CoachK]

Good job bro ❤

[@AlecBaulding]

Thanks 🔥

[@antonybui9257]

Phenomenal video!

[@Shawn_A_BJJ]

Awesome!! Another 💎

[@AlecBaulding]

🙏🏾

[@edwinsoriano5389]

The video we needed…. Thanks bruh

[@AlecBaulding]

💪🏾💪🏾

[@pedrosolano6844]

awesome content

[@ianharrop425]

Not sure why you decided to have as the first picture you see is knifes surrounded Murillo’s face! ‘’Click bites’’ Mean so much to you? Poor taste… I’ve met Murillo many years ago and he was nothing but a good man.. You can talk about a man’s jiu jitsu without this! Just my opinion

[@ML-td8or]

Great vid! Thank you! Please could u make a vid "How Roger Gracie changed Bjj forever"?

[@AlecBaulding]

That will be a big one

[@journey-inward]

Nice.... Subscribed!

[@AlecBaulding]

Thanks for the sub!

[@gilsondia]

I've shared the same mat on Barbosa jiu-jitsu in Sao Paulos a few times, he was responsible for Leandro Lo and Myaos brothers, he is freaking good

[@AlecBaulding]

Legend

[@BH-gh6qm]

another awesome bjj video

[@AlecBaulding]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@ActionRan]

took my pressure passing game from murilo and the bjj scout video of pressure passing he had. over under tripod haha. murilo goated

[@danielmccarthy9065]

Really good documentary

[@AlecBaulding]

🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@Gagglegrowth]

Great video

[@AlecBaulding]

Thanks 🙏🏾

[@jerryh2954]

Haha, the knives! Good stuff

[@edwinocasio3894]

This was really cool besides bring up the knife and constantly going back to that to use it as click bait. This video would have been so dope just focusing on the bjj and his influence on jiu jitsu.

[@tomsawyer7429]

I feel like a more explicit mention of BJJ Scout’s work is needed…

[@AlecBaulding]

All the info came from my own research and I didn’t watch any other breakdown for your info

[@tomsawyer7429]

At 04:07 you do show 3 of BJJ Scout’s videos talking about Murilo’s passing.

[@GASmotorsports]

@@tomsawyer7429 how much more mention is appropriate?

[@bricecoudert]

What's the technical video at 7:22 please?

[@AlecBaulding]

Haven’t uploaded it yet but will probably go on my new secondary channel

[@Gabi_Garcia_is_the_GOAT]

Legend !!

[@AlecBaulding]

For real

[@StephenVTran]

His skills are sharp, almost knife like

[@AlecBaulding]

💯🔪🔪🔪😂

[@liviumihai4778]

WHEN there is real fight they start boxing

[@JuanmanuelVargas-g6z]

I trained with him, true beast!

[@redearthpaul178]

The worst thing about the addcc fight was everyone was wearing outdoor shoes on the mat 😢. That could get you killed in some gyms

[@Quan_Vu]

Too good. 👍

[@AlecBaulding]

Thanks Quan Quan ❤️

[@Brascobadboy]

Santana super nice guy. I was surprised

[@sukyuppal4680]

Ya his passing and the tripod is everything i was a unity memeber since day one he fruely gives a shit about all of us are you a team member? Havent been there in a few yrs

[@James-ro1mp]

I only saw one guy push his head out the right way, when he’s doing his tripod pass, no way he would be able to pull something like that on some like Damian Maia

[@kwak76]

I think Leonardo Leo death I believe by stabbing had an influence on Murilo to carry a knife. Prior to that Murilo been to many matches and I don't think there has been knife incident.

[@DahMoney]

Theres no "pause" in bjj. Stop😅

[@AlecBaulding]

🤣

[@EKOWHO]

What were the consequences of him pulling a knife at a comp?

[@AlecBaulding]

Banned from ADCC events

[@Mubarak-11B]

The fact a world champion has to carry a knife shows how effective the martial art is in a fight. 🤣

[@kerpal321]

was it a spyderco or a benchmade

[@ScottPalangi]

Joe Darce taight me this passing method in 2003 during a private as a purple belt (lol im still blue btw, probably forever)

[@retroghidora6767]

With a knife comes the fall or with the fall comes a knife...

[@groundkarate]

와우 이등 ! ㅋㅋ Thanks Alec

[@AlecBaulding]

🙌🏾

[@ScottPalangi]

This was ricksons favorite way to pass, conceptually, yes?

[@skulldaggery_20K9]

Good deep dive into technique, but could do without the excessive knife references.

[@liviumihai4778]

amazing jiu jitsuka anyway piity he did not controll himself

[@jakedo4577]

Is the dilemma, separate the art from the artist. But overall, you give a great insight on his game to me. So thank you Alec, would love to hear your thoughts or video on CJI

[@AlecBaulding]

CJI was a great event. I was basically glued to the tv the whole weekend 😂

[@mezutzizu]

lol you said like he did something horrible. he pulled a knife to defend himself, and only to scare the guys, not like he would actually stab someome.

[@DAGALOPSI]

Knife guard

[@piseinolego]

LOL. I really appreciate the over exagerated way you use the knife as a symbol to caracterize Murilo in your video. I like how you make use of this tool to ilustrate some part of Murilo personality it doesn't show since he is often overlooked but as you mentioned very influential. In contrast to one single shady episode in a brawl you managed to use that symbol in a repetitive manner that contrasts with reality making us wonder what is about Murilo that we dont know or dont get. I say good job, man.
