[@AVTBJJ]

I'm a three stripe white belt, I have no idea wtf you're doing or saying but I still find it entertaining

[@rafaelkiehnle7540]

lol

[@6bullets903]

As me

[@Hans-nr4im]

I don't even have a white belt and I find it entertaining

[@samir.bensaid]

[@adidassg11]

2 weeks into grappling and I feel the same - I wish this was more common!!

[@leog8519]

Watching Keanan compete feels like playing mariokart using a code for unlimited bananas to make your opponents slip and lose.

Keenan has got to be one of the nicest and most likable personalities in the jiujitsu world. Edit: 😂 🤣👌 at the americas ass and trying to fix his pants to maintain his dignity.

[@BrokenFistX]

I love when you guys argue like an old married couple

[@OnlyNattysatUSC44]

thanks keenan! don't ever change. You are an amazing jiu jitsu competitor, even better person!!!!

[@gabrielvalerio3374]

Great video, Keenan! More of these please! Cheers from Brazil!

[@ilikewater666]

Great content, Keenan is just so damn talented. It's almost like he's giving away his secrets in the video but is too confident in his skills to worry about it since he's always developing new techniques.

[@DeaThreeper5]

I was dabbling in lapel stuff without really seeing Keenan work but man seeing just the setup into the lapel guards he does really has helped me change up my game to be much more controlling instead of initiating scrambles. You’ve changed my little purple belt life. Going to have to watch everything now. Already bought my hyperfly gi

[@timandmonica]

After a few years of practicing and about 25 years of watching, I though I understood jiu-jitsu pretty well. Your commentary proves that I only noticed about a quarter of the things you pointed out. I don't know whether to thank you or wallow in the despair of my ignorance!

[@GirthGod]

[@joopsnoop]

Nicholas Meregali is the future of the sport. So young, relatively new at black belt and fighting with such tenacity.

[@ThePickleBean]

Great match and commentary. Thank you for sharing, gentlemen.

[@Immortal-ironic-fist]

This is some seriously quality content

[@mordiken]

Love when you do these. Really appreciate it

[@brian8861]

[@revvvrand]

The value level of watching two world level guys compete went from a 5 to a 10 when you broke it down and put logic behind the moves! That stuff isn't discernible to the average mortal at full speed, but when it's a play by play it's jiu jujitsu gold!!!!

[@valentinamunoz1867]

Great video great insights! made me laugh imagining Nicholas saying '' lets fight, let's fight'!'' in the begining. You guys having debates makes me imagine how it is when you actually roll !

[@phx4closureman]

14:02 *DAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYUUUUMMMMM!!!!!* LOL

[@vmbrazilianjj]

This was a really cool breakdown! I'm honestly surprised tho that keenan hadn't seen that back attack before? That was just the normal crab ride attack everyone does from the stack, Thaliosn does it all the time and levi hit something similar at pans 2018

[@TheDarkLordLucifer911]

Just goes to remind one that there are so many options in the hierarchical web of moves its easy to get tunnel vision. The game never stops!

[@karmanyngje4907]

That gluteus maximus move made me laugh my arse off. 😂

[@kauairootsohana]

That break down was beautiful. Mahalos

Wish you guys did more of these for your matches and Josh’s. They’re cool

[@samcannons8491]

what software is he using to draw on the video ?

[@stevenheitzman8708]

🤣🤣🤣 So many people, even those within the bjj community, don't know wtf you're talking about. They may understand on a viewing level but there's no way this, incredibly inciteful video, will translate to most practitioners but I hope everyone that watches this video reaches this level of understanding the art. This is incredibly advanced insight into one of the single MOST intricate games of human chess in the whole universe. Let's all learn as much as we can from this right now and revisit this video every year to see how much more knowledge we can apply to our game.

[@whateveritwasitis]

when i listen to him break down BJJ, i realize there isnt enough years for me on this planet to ever get even close.

[@powerforth8400]

Awesome work thanks for the breakdown

[@kamikazeneko9070]

Thanks Keenan for the informative analysis

[@stevenhalf3078]

Is Josh okay from that flying arm bar?

[@anarai3835]

Will Legion be white belt friendly? Or are you mostly looking to build a solid team of killers for the grand opening?

[@elmntlgnd4995]

@Keenan, that was a great match but you have to keep the haters off of your podcast. It was annoying to listen to the troll behind you steady throwing negative comments your way.

[@f.mckenzie4212]

They're clearly just good friends that give each other a hard time like all bros do.

[@Pskinn]

Can someone explain to me the scoring in the corner?

[@adampena848]

Skinner those are points, advantages and penalties

[@Pskinn]

Adam Pena so what are advantages? I’ve never heard of that. Not familiar with the penalties either

[@kalenz100]

@@Pskinn advantages are less valuable than points. Only Points make you win the match. IF you and your opponent have the same point score, then advantages are taken in consideration and who has the most advantages wins. If you and your opponent have the same number of advantages the match goes to referee's decision. You can get advantages when you get in some slightly more dominant positions like when you flat your opponent's back from top half guard, when you attack threatening submissions that they manage to defend ( if the submission is not considered threatening enough you don't get an advantage), or when you almost get to a dominant position or guard pass but for less than 3 seconds. If you don't secure the pass or the position for 3 seconds or more, they don't give you points but just an advantage. In the match meregalli never secured any position that's why he has just advantages, while Keenan swept him and secured top position granting him 2 points for the sweep Oss!

[@Pskinn]

Carmine Pastore - MMA oss. Thank you brother!

[@JP-by6pe]

Let’s get it!!

[@jamiestanworth2075]

Correll is that you

[@wagnerrrrr]

I'm not really familiar with the points system in these tournaments. Anyone mind explaining how Keanan got the 2 points? It seems like he didn't do anything the whole fight except defend, get a penalty and the other guy to 9 advantages?

[@mofoshrimp]

Around four minutes into their match, Meregali is standing up and Keenan has reverse de la worm guard. For whatever reason Meregali doesn't like this, so he gives up the position by sitting down and putting his back to the mat. Keenan comes up into top position. This counts as a sweep for Keenan and he gets two points for it (even though Meregali did it willingly).

[@cindyvincenzo2852]

Can’t wait to see another Keenan vs Buchecha

[@guy9146]

I’m now officially dubbing you -Dr.Cornelius- All in favor say “I”

[@scarroll451]

100%, he was an asshole and only detracting

[@gilsondia]

This is why I hate this point system, someone had 8 submissions attempts and lost, the winner did only a sweep

[@TheLegendOfMrDGaming]

Sweet video! Thank you. Word.

[@DenerPinto94]

Aweasome breakdown

[@portofly94]

so on the back of that mic, there's a cool little switch that will bring the high end up and add clarity. also back up. and if it's too quiet, get a cloudlifter, the SM7B really needs it.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

@@portofly94 i had to read your whole comment, it was the only way to know what it said. nobody wants your audio advice, it isn't advice, it's boring. let me throw some unsolicited audio advice shite back to you so you see how wank it is. that boost switch is clearly on already. the mic's might need a preamp if they were quiet but they aren't quiet at all in this video. you gave perfect solutions to problems that don't exist here.

kinda sad that 50% of a submission grappling match remaining = don't attempt to submit

[@agauerm]

They should ditch this boring points fight thing, remove the time limit and let the fight finish only by submission.

Hope to see a rematch very soon.

Can someone please explain what the 2 means? points? How did he get those 2 points? Thanks sorry am a newbie

[@onlyjiu4536]

Honestly, I don't like these anti-anti game related fights that you stand there holding up for 10 minutes to keep the two points I Nicolas always goes to finalize, the Goat Roger Gracie other old scchools went to finalize not for points the game was more dynamic more beautiful to see than the two wrestlers however I don't like these types of game strategies in Jiujitsu.

@@benkingsman3784 I don't agree...The posturing and shin stacking he was doing was giving Keenan a hard time...Keenan even states this in the breakdown...Meregali was just way too aggressive, and fell for the Rope a Dope by over extending himself on several occasions....
