Magnus had really good head control. Was surprised to see that. Good instincts and his scary grip strength made a great combo. Hats off to Sergeant Hobley and everyone there. Fitness aside the character and integrity is world class as well.

[@olbaid84]

When I saw the grappling was on their knees and mostly upper body, definitely was thinking that was time for Magnus to shine. Great comradery and the instructor in the end didn't show any ego. Challenge coin definitely earned.

[@skunk_ink3954]

I'm pretty sure they are wrestling on their knees for Magnus's benefit. You can see in the very first fight the marines starting on their feet. However Magnus doesn't have the same leg strength or martial arts training as these marines do. So to put Magnus against one of these marines starting on foot wouldn't be a fair fight. By restricting the fight to knees only, the marines are being handicapped while giving Magnus the benefit of his upper body strength. This does not discredit Magnus's win though. I can tell you that marine was truely fighting. Magnus almost choked out a marine and that is no easy thing. Mad respect for that. If this fight started on foot however, I think Magnus would have little to no chance. He is a world class rock climber who has conditioned his body for climbing. These marines are world class level athletes who have conditioned their bodies for survival in a fight. In a on foot, no holds barred fight, the marines would win 10/10 times. On a timed wall climb, Magnus would win 10/10 times.

[@Ramdapanda]

@@skunk_ink3954 I think that's far fetched as I highly doubt marines only practice grappling with the sense of a clean fight. If they don't know how to win when they go down on their knees than they would be screwed in real life situations and I don't think the difference in the type of leg strength used in grappling is big enough in this scenario for the marines to win every single time with a standing start. Totaly agree that they wouldn't stand a chance in a timed wall climb though, same as Magnus probably wouldn't hold much of a candle in a heavy march exercise.

[@skunk_ink3954]

@@Ramdapanda I wasn't implying that marines don't train in every situation. What I was saying is that the marines have far stronger legs than Magnus does. There for allowing legs to be used in this would put Magnus and a huge disadvantage. By bringing the fight to only their knees it brings things to a much more even level. While the marines are still far more trained at grappling than Magnus is. Magnus has far superior upper body strength than the marines. This allows Magnus to make up for his lack of fighting experience by virtue of his insane grip strength. So I was only trying to say that fighting on their knees makes the fight more fair. Not that it makes them equals.

[@samvalentine9243]

​@@skunk_ink3954some of the Marines also started kneeling though...it's just inherently safer to start that way. It's the same in jiu jitsu. Beginners usually don't know how to fall properly so it's safer to ease into stand up grappling. Magnus did well here because he focused on controlling the head. His strength helped of course but technique is key in grappling, just like climbing.

[@cryptonfa6529]

I think many really dont't really get how incredibly fit you need to be a world class climber. It was super impressive to watch yet not surprising to me considering how strong you gotta be to do the kind of stuff Magnus does. I am a pretty good climber and in good shape and he s a superhuman to me

[@dchang8619]

Magnus' strength from climbing helped a LOT when he got both arms around the instructor's head. It must have felt like a vice grip clamping down. All his climbing muscles were used in full effect there, and you could see how the instructor was struggling against those holds. I remember the video with the Norwegian army where Magnus did 60kg+ pullups, which outdid even the super fit Evan. Those were the same muscles in full effect. Without much (if any) martial arts training, that just goes to show how leveraging the right muscles and strengths can overcome training. Well done Magnus, that was super impressive man! Mad respect.

man that second grappling fight was nuts, Magnus got his hands behind his neck and it almost stayed there for the entire grapple.

[@RyzawaVT]

Magnus in a baby crawl has got to be the funniest thing I've seen in a bit. His climbing ability really bled into grappling quite well too!

[@just6979]

The best part might be the entire squad enthusiastically cheering on Magnus. The inclusivity implied, that they want everyone who puts in a legitimate best effort to succeed, that they don't give a shit who you are as long as you can do the assigned job, is so great! Very similar to the climbing community (outside of comps, maybe) always enthusiastic and motivating each other to do better.

[@muzzaball]

I was so impressed by the teamwork and the encouragement that the marines offered! Really special.

[@SonOfGalactus]

22:30 Magnus, is absolutely a force to be reckoned with. He completely controlled that whole match. This is assuming the instructor gave it his all which I hope he did being a Marine.

[@Daniel-fc2xi]

God damn. I really think if Magnus applied himself to it and received high level coaching then he would be an elite/pro level grappler. His instincts are so spot on, he's actually a natural at it.

[@inthefade]

I think grapplers could learn from elite climbers. The grip strength alone must really give a huge advantage.

[@scottg6754]

@@inthefade I am pretty sure he has some serious specific wrestling skills. His front headlock and bail on pure roll around positions. I am old now, but I can grapple some, but against talented grapplers (like Ju Jitsu athletes) I just wrestle. Like Magnus did. I will say I wrestled a few guys who had that kind of grip with big hands. Very frustrating.

[@jonezbonez2505]

@@scottg6754 in my opinion it's the head control magnus used. It puts you of balance and makes doing anything to your opponent that much harder.

[@IncognitoSprax]

@@scottg6754 Yeah his bail and roll when it looked he lost leverage was a tell that he either has some training or crazy instincts

[@trask9100]

Yeah, its a combination of a bit of grappling experience and an absolutely disgustingly strong grip, and anyone who has wrestled or done BJJ knows how important grip is. Peeling grips is something a lot of grapplers spend a ton of time training to do, and I'm sure its next to impossible to peel his.

[@whodis5444]

As someone who's passionate about training MMA, I'd honestly love to do this. It looks like a lot of fun. Also, the one marine shouting encouragement when Magnus was doing drills on the beach was fantastic. I'd love to have that dude just follow me around and deafen me with motivation.

Noticed how he said he's not that strong in the legs versus his arms. His arms and upper body are his greatest physical strength. And he used that to his advantage in the grappling section. He knows he's strong in the arms and aimed for headlocks. Really cool guy!

you could see them doing it for each other too, very inspiring. They compete but also want each other to be as good as possible.

[@shan_mom0358]

This is what Marines do. They get down in your face and do extras at your pace to keep you going. My son is a Marine and I have watched him do this many times. They will not give up on each other, and if someone is struggling, even if they are finished with their own set, they will jump right back in and do them with you til you finish. Poolee, RCT, or Marine, it's just what they do. Never quit! Magnus was a Beast! Well done!

[@T1tanAtlas]

Magnus in the grappling was incredible, once he grabs you it’s a slow inexorable push down into the water, you can see him engaging his fingers and shoulder muscles, and it’s like a gear just moving and locking further and further down. Awesome video Magnus and USMC, this channel makes me want to be a better climber but also better all round athlete and person

Pretty sure there is no object, element or human than can get the better of Magnus' pure willpower to push through! Truly inspirational as always!

[@Jameslawz]

Magnus' upper body strength really translated well over to the water grappling. A true master knows where his weakness is, Magnus already said his legs aren't his biggest strength but he knows if he has to do upper body training his conditioning will allow him to pull through. At the end of the day Magnus is an elite athlete, he's not claiming to be a water grappler expert but athletic people can jump into other sports and get an idea of what they need to do.

What honestly impresses me most is you still being able to listen an comprehend what is said to you while you are under extreme stress (physically and biologically speaking); your brain is deprived of oxygen and reduces its function to the bare minimum: survive. At 15:20 you still listen to the "protect your head". For me, having an illness of the lung, after about five minutes of breathtaking work, my brain shuts right off. I'll do what was asked of me before I started, but you'll have to physically stop me from doing that very thing as vocal commands don't reach my brain anymore. Of course, at some point I'll gladly stop on my own from exhaustion. So, props to you and your fitness - both when it comes to your body and your mind (at least as far as one can differentiate them in such circumstances).

Fun fact in Norway Magnus has a BJJ instructor as a best friend and he also fights professionally. It helps with the taiedown and securing the standing choke. I was watching his sprawl and looking at how he used something similar to a thai plumb hold to keep the Marine from getting control. Magnus did like a week where they got to try each others discipline. But from how Magnus looked he look like he did more then one week training.

Grappling while wearing a vest vs. someone just in a T-Shirt is a significant disadvantage, as the opponent can use it like a Gi. Instructor didn't seem to take advantage of it, but it felt like he wasn't going hard, or underestimated Magnus at the start and couldn't get back in the game after.
