Rolling with Eddie Bravo

Its not everyday you get a chance to roll with a legened like Eddie Bravo, but I did! I had an absolute blast. he was nothing but nice and respectful and even took some time to have a conversation after class and just bull shit around. A big thank you to Eddie for welcoming me to his Gym.

[@drewdonham]

this is actually my favorite eddie bravo roll ive seen, thanks for uploading this.

[@isaacduncan4182]

Thanks! This is about a decade old. I don’t know why this video has jumped to 22k views in the last month.

[@kylekublalsingh8014]

That half guard is just on another level. Must've been awesome rolling with Eddie.

[@isaacduncan4182]

Kyle Kublalsingh it was a dream come true. The best part of this was actually experiencing his half guard. I knew it was good but being IN IT made me realize the whole other level he was on.

[@IHateHandleNames]

I've modeled my half guard after Eddie. I'm obviously nowhere near his level, but for me it took me to a whole new height. Dudes (at my level) dont wanna go anywhere near my half guard.

[@thatguitarguyguy]

@@isaacduncan4182 were you a blue belt here at this time of rolling 8 years ago?

[@isaacduncan4182]

[@DhDeadMan]

Eddie always looks like he is about to pass out, lol

[@THIS---GUY]

Zen 🙏

[@Phcx-_-]

and super super relaxed at the same time. theres not 1 moment where he shows signs of panic. he just goes with the flow, beautiful.

[@shanefalgoust7838]

I tend to focus on the more positive side of what he is doing..meaning less effort more learning for his opponent

[@illwill83nigga]

that sweep to the side control then truck fya

[@agustinvillafane5027]

That calf slicer was amazing.. Eddie is a genious

[@JeroenLondon]

What a great roll! Was hoping for a twister after the truck!

[@TheFlam123]

Wow! The sweep at 4:03 was so efficient and smooth and looked like he put no effort into it. Eddie is a legend!

[@isaacduncan4182]

Lockdown is very efficient.

[@thegreatchrispy]

That has been my go-to sweep from half guard for YEARS now. It's so easy to pull off and it's impossible to defend unless they block the lockdown immediately. But even then you can usually wiggle you're way back into it because most people don't actively defend it. And if they defend the sweep there's a tricky knee bar you can do from there instead, but I have a hard time getting it in no gi.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Eddie's half-guard sweeps changed the game.

[@thomasheller1167]

That was such a slick back take. I thought he was going to do a back triangle then he finished with armbar!

[@chancecottlemma5399]

Thanks for posting! Awesome display of techniques here in the roll you had with Eddie Bravo.

[@root0062]

Eddie is so relaxed. at 3:06 he goes for a cable grip but grabs his fingers and I guess his hand was to outstretched so it looked like he hurt himself. So he gets the lockdown and stretches him out to prevent a pass. while checking his fingers. #Legend

[@ickerish]

Eddie looking like MODOK here.

[@seanallred8193]

SICK! That had to be an awesome experience brotha, much respect!! I was thinking to my self the whole time "if that was me im sure id get dummied as well".. but you can only do so much to even defend against someone like datch guy eddie brav!

[@rongeo117]

Bravo lookin like buzzlightyear

[@bryku8757]

Awesome video man! What an honour it would of been to roll Eddie

[@JK-nh6jp]

I don't always roll with legends, but when i do i try to spaz out as much as possible.

[@solemgameinsights]

Eddie loves figure4-ing one leg in the half-guard, you can see it in almost all his grappling matches.

[@to_a_nico]

the lockdown, central to his system

[@mioumitsou]

someone give that man in the back a high 5

[@isaacduncan4182]

This old video of mine shot up by 20k views this month. Was this suggested to you?

[@AWood28]

That lock down is a problem

[@Eastsideforlife]

In my eyes it goes the Gracie’s, Machados then Eddie bravo 10th planet💯💪🏽👊🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽💯

[@fabriziocampoverde1270]

Impresive the style of Eddie.

[@JakeMitchell1]

Does Eddie have a name for the sub at 5:50?? Jiu claw with a seat belt type lock on the other arm.... Some high level stuff!!! Great video my man thumbs up for the camera at 2:15!!!!

[@AlphaBravoDingo]

+JakeTheSnake 93 - looked like some kind of improvised hammer lock. Don't think that's in the system, but hey it works.

[@marcowerner8739]

Eddie reminds me of B.J. Penn when he rolls.

[@SubscribeatandIwilldoastripper]

I could watch Eddie roll over anybody. Fucking genious

[@roguesovereignrogue9124]

Man…he’s like a spider crab or something!

[@bryantharris5914]

Looks like a good roll, I think you handled yourself well. Eddie just looks like he's got such a sneaky way of getting into the positions he wants. It looks like you'd know you were in trouble, but knowing it and stopping it would be two totally different things.

[@ParkerPPipe]

My knees hurt watching those lockdown whips

[@evan5944]

at 5:30 Eddie went to grab the other leg for his Electric Chair. Isaac, my man, I'm so glad you didn't get caught with that. My groin would be weeping

[@to_a_nico]

VERY COOL

[@MormonMustang_]

Master Renato say datcha guy is hetarded and smokee too much heefer. He wear GI he may get better.

[@valimbrasil1382]

Eddie Bravo, Bravo Eddie!!!

[@dsds8017]

Great 👍

[@shanefalgoust7838]

He has earned his clout in the game

[@thegavinchase]

Be careful with all that weight and speed on an old man. Take et easeeee

[@Yoooooo0909]

that what i was thinking,

[@karimsayed6292]

He's a catch wrestler and that how the style works .

[@twoOfThemThangs]

Lol eddie is anything but an old man

[@millardfilmore1403]

dude he beat Royler at ADCC the year this was filmed. he's not an "old man"

[@rsoe9158]

@@millardfilmore1403 get your facts straight. Eddie is like 45 or 46 here. This video is from 2014, he beat Royler at ADCC in 2003.

[@ruddig]

that was awsome hahaha

[@ThatSoto]

@5:37 holy fuuuuck, bro!! Those crazy alien legs, got damn.

[@walkingcorpse1224]

This was fun to watch. I'd have to roll with Eddie Bravo to experience it, but from what I see he looks patient. Something I'm not used to seeing aside from Jeff Monson. It would be funny to watch Eddie Bravo vs. Jeff Monson, because both of em' are so patient but on opposite terms, one prefers top game and the other is more of a bottom game person. Who would win? Jeff has the weight advantage while Eddie has the flexibility advantage... Damn it would be a good match.

[@josephbreza-grappling9459]

So incredibly efficient. He can give up a ton of weight and still make it look easy

[@DarrellCarey]

Bro , you did awesome yourself.

[@S.A.N.503]

Seemed like something happened that hurt Eddie, then he turned it up from there. He tapped him like five times after that lol.

[@kevin41780]

LMAO

[@Pearlygatesbouncer]

That arm bar set up from being on bottom was crazy

[@matthewthehawk1066]

Eddie is tooo good

[@TheEckko1982]

Last dudes face bahahaha meet the calf slicer

[@12brichards]

From now on you should tell people that you rolled with the master.

[@dragonyusuf]

lol elbow drop at 2:55

[@seang9007]

Fantastic thanks for posting. What did Eddie say to that gentleman about getting hurt ?

[@pauldigga5419]

sean G can’t catch it

[@AWood28]

Master!

[@bachconneshon7809]

Bro wears headgear for a bjj scramble

[@charmkang6120]

how long did u train bjj at that point? did u know lockdown and the way to deal with it? just curious even u know the position still Eddie can use it on u. of course the answer is yes but...

[@Dougalastyle]

nice man!

[@jonevans870]

Lockdown feels horrible

[@isaacduncan4182]

I don’t know what algorithm KZbin is using. But this video has spiked in the last two weeks. Yes, his half guard was just emotionally draining. Especially starting on our knees. But he is the GOAT and I was honored to roll with him.

[@alvarofragoso5718]

Sinistro ed bravo e foi jogo solto

[@bobbydabutcha]

Is Eddie pretty cool about rolling with all his students? Interested in training at his place sometime this summer :D

[@rsoe9158]

This is beautiful. How old were you in here?

[@isaacduncan4182]

RSOE 33? Around there.

[@isaacduncan4182]

Hopefully it was my defense that stopped it, and not him just not wanting to do it

[@kevinking4810]

That you rolling with eddie?

[@furlong08857]

+Isaac Duncan Awesome bro,

[@furlong08857]

+Isaac Duncan Awesome bro,

[@baseballkide52]

He was definitely just fucking with you. look at his other rolls where he actually goes 100% and you'll see

[@7thvenom]

@8:03 is some smooth shit....like a 'Truck' variation or something.

@7:54 Sakuraba rash guard

[@joe4570]

what is it with 10th planet and socks

[@theemperorcharlemagne]

Totally bizarre that they start on the ground. It’s no wonder that BJJ specialists do so terribly in MMA. The best guard passes are done through the takedown.

[@matthewtaylordeoppressolib7141]

His entire world is the mat, the mat is flat, therefore entire world is flat. Checkmate atheists

Holy shit Eddie is like a puppeteer

[@PayUntoCaesar]

This homeless guy is really good at bjj

[@isaacduncan4182]

Lmao!

[@fabianh.5848]

if you have a better opponent, then you have to defend the whole time.

[@wesdowty79]

You aint rollin, you're getting wrapped up by Eddy Bravo.

rough rooster and it was an honor!

✌️

[@sinematographynaction]

Ears and condoms.

[@prieto21]

Cool! I'm new to BJJ... How experienced were you at this point (years or rank, whatever)? Like, how hard is he going on you do you think?

[@isaacduncan4182]

+prieto21 Over 20 years of wrestling/grappling experience. He wasn't going very hard, this was just more training. I had grappled 3 other people by time I rolled with Eddie. So i didn't have much left in the tank. Even if i was 100% Eddie would still easily beat me because he has dedicated his life to this sport.

[@MozartificeR]

Likes his ear muffs...

Looked kind of like bravo/gracie at metamoris, minus the vaporizer

[@isaacduncan4182]

Because I was rolling with Eddie freaking Bravo!?

+Isaac Duncan that doesn't mean you couldn't have rolled through it. sure, you would've lost position, but atleaste you wouldn't have been submitted
