[@holierthan]

They never cease to amaze... not even their 6 year-old videos...

[@hb51015]

I do truly love and appreciate Rafael's thoroughly detailed explanation of the technique. Then again, I expect no less from one of the best. Thank you very much, Professor Rafa!

[@johnniemcintyre73]

By far the best explanation on KZbin, great video!

[@Technetiumalchemist]

Excellent step-by-step deconstruction of the berimbolo. The emphasis on the smaller details and repetition really helps convey how to properly execute the move.

[@jorgegonzaloalfaro5378]

I learned this as a white belt a few years back from this video and hit it on so many purples, browns and blacks with old school games that hadn’t adapted to this kind of game. Still in my A game!!!

[@dennisx]

best berimbolo instruction I have ever seen, now I can finally read and do berimbolo

[@marcio021surf]

Cara, sério…Vc é foda! Publicado em 2012 e até hoje não há melhor explicação! Praticamente um mini-seminário para os iniciantes do berimbolo! Parabéns e tu tens minha total admiração. Muito obrigado! :)

[@cagasify]

pure gold bro

[@evandromantovani6368]

parabéns pela didática e o perfeccionismo nos detalhes, top class

[@victorlobo21]

I watched this video and I did in the academy and I got. I take the back of a purple belt (I am blue). Perfect! Rafa Mendes is the best. Thank you Mendes bros to share this video in the youtube, you are helping me so much. I'm brazilian, but one day I want to train in Costa Mesa, CA. Thank you!

[@TheTechPapi]

excellent explanation on the bjj berimbolo! thanks for sharing!

[@romanticreductionist]

That has to be the cleanist/ coolest looking dojo I have ever seen.

[@pinksupremacy6076]

Wish more coaches would be this detailed and pedagogical.

[@robking1985]

great instructional. Looking to add this more to my game; always struggled to implement this.

[@samueldasilva2097]

Perfect knowledge and technique!

[@camboselecta1]

Love the technique, but for ages Ive been wanting to know about that art work in the background!

[@GrapplersQuest]

Great instructional - keep up the great work fellas!

[@josejka]

Man I’m so glad I got to watch this without needing to rewind over and over to get the details. You are truly awesome professor. Can’t wait to start drilling it the way you showed

[@Keithustus]

If they can teach it to dozens of students at a time month after month, they can teach it in a video.

[@Cosmopolitm]

Boa explicação, gostei da decoração da academia! Boa sorte.

[@joaonedsonnotrecho8594]

Eu admiro muito o seu jiu-jitsu professor Rafael !!

[@ddarrius]

I like the move, love the painting.

[@henryheavyy]

Sinistro demais esse cara. Jiu-jitsu perfeito!

[@hevertonmarquesbg1795]

Brother estou completamente apaixonado pelo estilo de vcs Mendes Bros mudou meu jeito de rolar

[@RealCity3]

Love this move, it has amplified my game exponentially. I also like to utilize the reverse berimbolo. Mendes bros, please return to H20 MMA in Montreal! When you first came, I was a white belt of only three months and did not have a full comprehension on the techniques you showed us. I'm a blue belt now and would absorb your teachings more proficiently.

[@TheRainmannnn]

I always ended up in half guard and was not satisfied. Now I know what to do! Obrigado

[@kolinsmckk9919]

very detailed tutorial , thank you!!

[@juanzuccoli]

Details, makes excellence!

[@dbg2950]

Tk for the knowledge !

[@tobigforyou]

[@gustavoteixeirabjj1526]

thanks, great video.

[@edoardogenovesi3164]

Thank's a lot! Very interesting

[@FlipmodeP1]

man oh man great flow

[@neekalgoetzfridt1818]

Amazing explanation

[@jameszambetti6169]

@Oleksandr Karpenko, De La Riva is an open guard technique, similar to X guard, spider guard, butterfly guard, etc. Berimbolo is essentially an inverted roll that can be used to sweep. The berimbolo sweep is most commonly used from the 50-50 position or from De La Riva.

[@motzok]

so good! thank you!

[@teamwarrior78]

Thank you soooooooo much!

[@paulcarrola]

Their academy is really bright

[@TheOlFlat5]

Beautiful facility.

[@yugen]

Yeah I agree, looks amazing.

[@JTH43]

Defending strikes is not a concern in IBJJF tournaments. Love it or hate it they are using it to win in their sport. If you want to go do MMA because you think that rule set is more "realistic" then thats your choice but know anyone could make the same argument about rules in MMA... as in 5 Minute Rounds... Yea thats realistic. Stand ups. weight classes, No kicks to a downed opponent. How about wearing board shorts and vaseline for a uniform? Don't forget MMA is a sport itself with rules and a scoring system that are manipulated by its athletes and your "Reality" is completely objective.... Shit my grandmother could kill Jon Jones squeezing her index finger.... hows that for reality. Fortunately I dont think she has it out for him but if he keeps poking people in the eyes...

[@andrew12yao]

Hahaha. Took me too long to get what you meant by squeezing the index finger. I thought that your grandmother was going to kill him with some ninja deathtouch. ^^

[@holierthan]

The man speaketh the truth! Wisdom here.

[@ProjectMaelstrom]

A sport is a sport. Why people dont go to American football players to tell em "Yeah but you dont jump high enough and slam that ball through the post" Because its not basketball dummy its NFL You dont slam you run and touch. Apart from this .... just go do MMA.... go. Without some form of grappling go try your "luck" in MMA..... The moment the opponent realise you dont know ground game or grappling you gonna have a very bad time.

[@jiujitsuartesuave5861]

Valeu Mestre

[@Basaliagalhardoaurelio]

Rafael me responde uma coisa alguém já conseguiu passar sua guarda parabéns você na minha opinião é o melhor lutador de todos os tempos de jiu

[@juangabrielbj]

[@rhamalho]

[@japoneromt]

[@carlos0259774]

Thank you

[@mafra330]

Very nice!

[@jhonatancosta8833]

Perguntar oque!! Muito bem explicado.. Top.. OSS...

[@GorgeousGeorge121]

@TommyDaGun589 Thanks. I was speaking more in terms of the general stuff on their website, though, and whether it's very broad, so that no matter what your game - flexibility, pressure - there's plenty for you.

[@eduardovieira8920]

I’ll try tomorrow at my gym where don’t teaches berimbolo and ask for some more tips, thank you, I’ll stop by sometime next month

[@leeka0524]

very good helpful vedio

[@luizjunior2732]

to com um plano de ir no meio do ano para os EUA só pra aprimorar meu jiu jitsu treinando vocês.

[@GorgeousGeorge121]

I do, thanks. My question was more of a general one, but I will say that in high level competition, you see much more of the berimbolo in the lighter weight classes: Rodolfo and Buchecha aren't really known for it, for example.

[@cjsalda]

Great very sport!

[@RJLicksRocks]

When you drill it enough and you get it fluid it feels like one step. Practice, Practice :)

[@thiagoreisdutra]

Muito bom, mesmo!

[@jasminpacheco9570]

Berimbolo: it's a word that defines something you can't define.

[@awfully.average]

does the word Berimbolo mean anything outside of jiujitsu ?

[@OVERCAPITALIZE]

nope

[@reomatodavich]

Jeff Chen , yes, the word is close to a Brazilian harp like instrument

[@TonyFernandezjkdjedi]

SICK

[@kennancornnelius6921]

It´s heaven

[@musicgaines7170]

Whoah is this the real Cornelius?

[@jralexkidd]

muito bom vlwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

[@geobros]

He's off the chain!

[@janosik502]

Awesome

[@mattr.9167]

I know what I'm gonna use next time I find myself in that position 😉👌

[@harrod19]

I didn't know I didn't know so much 😓

[@TheZoidbergo]

Beautiful dojo & technique. Wish I weren't a 215 pound lummox and could do these techniques.

[@Seegie16]

tell me about it. im 200 lbs and just restarted training 2 months ago after a super long layoff. My instructor is a lightweight bjj worlds top competitor nad shows us these kind of tech and other where you swing the leg and sneek under and take the back. You should see me attempting it during drills. i look like a hipo trying to breakdance. its not pretty

[@-CrampedStyle-]

My favorite part is 3:26, "Oh, what am I doing?" LOL. I've found myself asking that very question at times.

[@harrod19]

Many, many times

[@carlos0259774]

That is the most Zen rolling mat and amazing gym to learn Jiu Jitsu !!! Anyone knows where this is ?? And of course amazing stuff by the mendes bros

[@morgchem]

Having trouble sweeping from half guard when they stand up! I would like to see a transition into Berimbolo from half guard.after the sweep here I see the knee bar!

[@familiasilva211]

Será que sou a única que está vendo em 2019?

[@phelipegabriel6015]

Eu também estou

[@artesuavebjj1642]

kkk os brasileiros precisam perder a preguiça e assistir os vídeos em inglês, a diferenca dos canais em inglês é gritante, bjjfanatics , art of jiu-jitsu, keenan online, Fábio gurgel, sao uns poucos exemplos de canais q possuem infinita quantidade e qualidade nas explicações.

[@olivertoth7236]

What stops the danger of leg drag when you bring back the foot from mat to the hip while unbalancing ?

[@BrunoCAGAS]

incrivel

[@nelsongomes7657]

Olá professor Guilherme, se no caso o oponente colocar a mão no chão , quando ele é lançado no solo , mesmo assim ainda dá para efetuar o movimento normal? oss!

[@epella]

i have one! how you avoid the toe hold?

[@brigadedunet]

please!!!!!! next time put some colored gi on rather than the white ones cause it's very hard to see the details whith the white mat. Thank you very much for posting this vids. this is Gold.

[@razinator100]

this is amazing

[@Tikoloshe-]

Great

[@louisdlariviere3824]

Best featherweight ever.

[@sheepgod203]

Love mendes

[@philcinephile]

Nice looking dojo haha

[@jeremyjacksonable]

@Caboselecta It was made with paint, a skateboard, 2 ramps, a wall and canvas I believe. Someone close to RVCA or sponsored by RVCA actually made those.

[@brtlsqd]

i'm not high level in Jiu Jitsu,and i'm interested...what the differents between Berimbolo and De la Riva???

[@canjicalol]

Vim aprender as magias

[@theskeptic9797]

Em 1990, essa raspagem aí era chamada raspagem delariva, pois vinha da guarda delariva. Não tinha nada de "berimbolo". Mas foi uma boa explicação.

[@1ma4ighter]

the miyao brothers have a berimbolo video with variations though. it doesn't come in too much detail but it's got mind blowing variations, I can't remember what the name is but ya. . .

[@davidpawlus]

at about 5:22 how do you prevent your opponent from foot locking your (toe hold) when you're upside down?

[@nahuelfantino]

Straight from the source

[@TheMDBJJ]

Rick Da Rockstar...BIIIAAATTCHH. he will know

[@bornfedslaughter]

Can't get the laverage, what i do? I get back my pawsture from the gourd and I take his back.

[@2submit]

usually the whole movement flows so fast its like being thrown you have no time to react for a toe hold... only if a guy who tries it is slow or not really good at it

[@bogoleto]

Not really... Marcel Ferreira used it to win the Mundial in 96, when Guilherme was just 8yo and Rafael 7yo - so, Marcel was probably the one who developed it... Samuel Braga also used it to win the Mundial in 2005, when Rafael and Guilherme were still blue belts...

[@123123Bear]

i have a questing mister mendez, How to defend the heel hook?

[@StridersEgress]

Where are they?

[@Seegie16]

Wow. This move is not as new as many make it out to be. I remember training off and on at a Barra affiliated gym back in the late 90's-early 2000. There were a few tall dudes who messed around with a position that had no name. Sometimes these two tall dudes tried pulling the berimbolo at the same time and we just called them the upside down clowns. It was a very discouraging position and no one knew what to do when they got stuck in it. the only thing the personon top could think about doing is hammerfisting the guys balls into his stomach but alas that cant be done while rolling. Its just funny to me this weird experimental position could have been used back then to win tournies but it kind of just stayed inthe practice room out of thought that it was super frustrating and clever but not real jiujitsu. Now from the late 2000's to now its real. its hella real and its bizare for an old timey bjj fan like me to watch..haha

[@robertoatallabjj]

actually a guy called Marcel Ferreira was doing in comps, he won as a purple middle heavy in 1996 the Worlds, but he mostly went to top position and passed because the pressure against the leg is big and it works well as a sweep but inside the gym he was doing the back variations too. But Mendes added new details and a focus on taking the back, and changed grips. Funny story made me smile now!

[@jitsroller]

huh? have you ever watched their video's were he's nailing it in jits matches? I think you should post one and show us the correct way.

[@TheRealHero1]

So many steps

[@CooperHaydenn]

lol, too cool.
