Good stuff. I like the tone of the roll. It’s not a competition so both of you can try stuff. But both of you are giving honest effort.

[@deanwatts68]

That dude is super chill.. very intersting the way he controls with leg hooks, even toe hooks while still standing..

[@theartofmat7931]

[@PS-fn5xv]

gotta love it when much better guys are letting you work. looks smooth!

[@MNaeem5]

I love how your partner keeps standing up each chance he gets

[@Soulful_Oatmilk]

Just stand up dude, Jiu jitsu isn't real

[@Sage_6reen]

Lol jiu jitsu isn't only on the ground brother

[@FormidableOne]

@@Sage_6reenits literally a ground sport 😂

[@FormidableOne]

Maybe youre watching the wrong sport if you enoy stand up? Maybe Wrestling or Judo

[@Soulful_Oatmilk]

@@FormidableOne honestly dude, just like when wrestlers complain about butt scooters, I'm going to tell you it's a skill issue. Learn to pin and wrestle to keep them on the ground, and they need to learn to pass the guard.

[@AlexD-gy5qy]

His grapevine move that starts near 1:44 is very closely related to the merkle. Excellent move for anyone's overhook series. Look into BJJ scout's video on the merkle and B Team's video with coach Andy (should be called like "we learn wrestling from an olympian" or something like that) where he goes over single leg defense and overhook work, including this move. Edit: not just an excellent move, my background is judo, I love to attack with uchi mata from the overhook, but the merkle is what I finish on people who are at or above my wrestling skill level. Once you hit the mat, it combos beautifully into pinning with the grapevine as a turk, inside senkaku, taking the back if you can pass the overhook into a reverse seatbelt grip, or you can abandon the leg and roll into front head. Works as a turn from turtle too. Use it from top half and dogfight. So good. My favorite move. Look at the bjj scout vid.

[@theartofmat7931]

One of my favorite moves, I just call it uchi mata pt.2 lol.

[@CologneShow]

Merkle is sick - Wade Schalles has great stuff on it, as does Ryan Hall on one of his latest back instructionals

[@theartofmat7931]

@CologneShow thanks for the info bro, I'll check that out now!

[@samiulhaque5617]

Thanks dude!

[@PacoRollz]

I just learned to appreciate the guy in the background drilling his balance as well as pressure on that Swiss/balance ball.

[@allieoco]

The way he had his arm out waiting to catch that single leg x 😂😂 ten steps ahead

[@kevingatescat]

Wow, what a great round. Props to Matt, he's an excellent training partner

[@ceezmadethat]

King Matt! Killers!

[@charlieruisseau2476]

the way you took his back at 1:00 is absolutely AWESOME!!!!

[@lordtains]

The technique of 1:48 is a judo technique I think. Kawazu gake (see the kodokan version), also known as the grapevine throw. It's illegal in Judo because of the risk of injury.

[@MichaelJames707]

This is a beautiful roll 🙏🏼 🔆 🙌🏽

[@payperboii8477]

1:47 is there a name for that sweep or can I call it the TOE-SHIN Sweep. I learn so much from this channel!

[@Slamminbassplayer]

Some really high tech Jitz here. Osss!

[@ubershmekel]

3:52 - he had a scorpion death lock on you. Was probably GG but seems he decided to keep rolling instead of submit you. Also maybe because you're a bit explosive he might've wanted to avoid you spazzing and injuring yourself there. It's a dangerous position.

[@christiancepeda5457]

bro, mat is a monster in disguise & bjj . i checked out his youtube channel and seems like the most down to earth dude who could fold you like a lawn chair. if im ever in AZ, i'll defintely be checking out his open mat classes!! great video.

[@anthonymoran3049]

He’s in Houston. Great guy.

[@theartofmat7931]

Appreciate the kind words 🙏

[@X7xPrototypex7X]

Matt is legit from Houston tx out of Abstract 🔥🔥🔥

[@anthonygarcia-zt6fq]

I really like the concept you mentioned about using the mat to scrape the opponent off of you

Dude in the background is not fighting at all at 0:10.......🤣

[@mikegoodwin5951]

And why would he

[@216kingDavid1]

Sweet are you guys gon be at Jay Pages tomorrow??

[@josiahbholahillaire3574]

Hell yeah. Let me roll with you, Carson

[@etimezz]

guard system ftw.

[@chump203]

3:49 He wasn't trying to chase the back here. I think he's casually trying to catch your wrist and control the angle of your elbow for a scorpion lock as he has your lag trapped.

[@theartofmat7931]

Correct! Definitely not my strongest position, but I wanted to take a swing anyway lol.

[@PheseantNetsuke]

is this a fellow YJJS sponsored athlete ?

[@ChrisBoshProps]

As a 5 month white belt, I've been watching your videos quite a bit and appreciate you posting them they are a huge help! I only wish i'm half as good as you if or when I ever get a blue belt. Keep rocking man!

[@Mrpanino123]

Keep going brother. Remember where you are now and look back after another 1.5 years.

[@MangoBums]

whoa carson you've improved a lot since the blue belt days. you look like jozef chen out there, keep it up!

[@gundropmusic]

he still blue lol

[@MangoBums]

@@gundropmusic the fk lol. well, he's definitely playing at a high level

[@gundropmusic]

@@MangoBums yeah stay blue and win comps. he's good tho should test himself at purple

[@JustSomePoems-qt9ri]

we all can adopt a "counter style" I guess but honestly I don't think that is a style, or even a thing. Sometimes we just shut down everything people are doing without really advancing the game ourselves either. But that's not a type of blackbelt, or a style even in my opinion. It's just a thing that happened in your roll. You can roll again with that guy and he can have an attacking "style."

[@jimmyshookog3509]

are you ever worried when you do the arm weave on the single leg that they go belly down armbar on it? Has that happened ? Nice work.

[@Carsahh]

It hasn’t happened before, I believe they are forced to posture up to maintain balance, attacking the arm would require them to bend over, in which case they would fall onto their hands as I’m blocking the leg. If my opponent committed and jumped onto it explosively it’s possible, but very low percentage

[@NiekMagnel]

Nice. What are some good instructionals that cover the duck under well? Or what people / vids can you recommend?

[@MNaeem5]

Brandon Reeds stuff is gold

[@joesemien8656]

That Mat guy is pretty good. He should start his own youtube channel.

[@theartofmat7931]

I see you Joe!

[@JB_58008]

At 5:30 you can literally just roll right up to mount. I've battle tested it

[@SturdyBam]

Yeah you can roll backwards of your shoulder with a chin strap grip to mounted guillotine

[@calebtaylor9300]

It’s crazy to see you roll with someone I know of 😂
