[@TarikBJJ]

Thank you for the roll! It was a pleasure meeting you and your crew! 💯🙌🏼

[@mzigliara]

Excellent roll! This channel keeps getting better and better!

[@zukaBJJ]

Thank you !! This video took me like 3.5 hours but I’m very happy with the end product!!!

[@belindawong3362]

Hands down one of the nicest and down to earth guy in the sport. Such a fantastic instructor too, looking forward to part 2.

[@solomon796]

That was great. So cool to see a guy like Tarik be so nice and technical as well. Didn't have to go spazz mode at all

[@TylerHuntbjj]

Dude, this was incredible! Leg pommelling was insane. I’m going to watch this like 100 times.

[@AlexAyliffe]

Still blown away by his foot Pummeling.

[@zukaBJJ]

@@AlexAyliffe it was so simple, clean, and effective.

[@eddesanroman]

Awesome roll! Thank you for sharing.

[@martoshialcamoto2212]

Amazing stuff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@andrewkim6037]

Levels... I definitely have to rewatch this a few more times, lol.

[@zukaBJJ]

The upper echelon of bjj…is crazy to say the least.

[@seans4290]

New sub! Great content

[@zukaBJJ]

Awesome! Thanks, hoping to pump out more and better content as the channel grows. Cheers

[@AEBJJ159]

I rolled with Tarik recently and he smushed me (he was much less flowy, he was in comp season afaik). I’ve rolled with a lot of great guys, but Tarik was really amazing. It’s like he just doesn’t even acknowledge your guard, he just blitzes through it. It almost feels disrespectful hahaha.. I just couldn’t form any meaningful connections to him. He’s so outrageously strong and knows exact where he needs to use that with beautiful technique. Truly a special talent and one of the nicest dudes I’ve met in the sport.

[@zukaBJJ]

Ha! Maybe I’m just not perceived as a threat. It gives me hope to see super high level guys that are also nice people!

[@14Furioso]

That was beautiful 😮

[@alecchan5506]

The way you filmed it was awesome...The view was very clear. I was studying all the movements of your butterfly and his counters.... This is gold for beginners like me! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Seaofjitsu]

I learned so much from this! This is what I would consider the "ideal roll" It is Challenging, Fun and Educational. Way to go! I had no idea Tarik was a person and had a channel. Cant wait to check it out! Thanks for including all that information 🙏

[@zukaBJJ]

My pleasure - my goal is to highlight great people in the bjj realm!

[@joehill4945]

Wow! Amazing!

[@808BJJ_Black_Belt]

Tarik is smooth 🥋🔥

[@juliuszombie]

Great roll :)

[@hanre94]

This was awesome!! Also that blue Ikiro gi is 🔥

[@zukaBJJ]

@@hanre94 you should probably change your handle now lol!

[@SeanAntics]

Love the video I would love to see more local black belts and their specialties. Jordan Teaches Jiu Jitsu was a great more of that and commentary rolls always good

[@zukaBJJ]

I ask quite a few folks to do these with me; Not everyone is comfortable with it, but I will continue to search! Thanks for watching.

[@SeanAntics]

Keep doing your thing eventually they be asking you and you might have to say no. Just how life works sometimes love the work

[@dragoph]

Very cool

[@dibattistaalex]

🔥🔥🔥 solid tip on early off-balancing. No gi roll w Craig Jones 👀 I hear he’s having fun with his rolls at seminars in Eastern Europe 😬

[@MCHiphopotamus]

Great video ! Could you do one with Lucas Lepri ?

[@zukabjj2885]

That is one of my all time fave black belts. It’s on the list!

[@johnmayo593]

Awesome video! You should get Jedi Does Jiujitsu on!

[@zukaBJJ]

I would love to make this happen! Hopefully someone can make the connection…

[@mattpras]

🔥

[@JensonSada]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@captaincanuck4173]

🔥🔥🔥

[@limejuicetin]

Would love to see Craig Jones as one of your guests, but if not, maybe some no gi rolls and how you translate your gi -game over to no gi

[@zukaBJJ]

Ha! I’d love that. Will def try to make it happen one day as the channel grows.

[@intersportasia9521]

helio gracie

[@jiugypsy1311]

Leg pummel god 🤯

[@zukaBJJ]

Just absurd !

[@dopeboyvid8988]

Do you train no gi as well?

[@zukaBJJ]

Hello! I do, I even teach no gi - I post clips on my instagram. I was supposed to do a no gi roll analysis but the guy got sick.

[@rlongo6252]

Tarik did not invent this move. I first learned it as “The Amazing” from Jeremy Arel (a Gordo BB) on his KZbin channel Great Grappling 11 years ago.

[@zukaBJJ]

Thanks for sharing that! Maybe popularizer would’ve been a better term.
