understandable when rolling with one of the Medes bros you might be on the defensive but your not going to learn anything lying there like a plank of wood. I'd rather get tapped 10 times than that shit...
Seriously, I hate when guys do that stalling shit. It's not good jiu jitsu, and it's not self-defense. When I roll against guys with a lot less experience and they do this, it can get frustrating. But it does make me feel like I suck less to see a guy so good as Rafa take a little more time to get offense going when someone does it to him.
I wonder what it must be like having Rafa go for a foot lock on you. On one hand, you're thinking "HIS BACK IS RIGHT THERE". On the other...you have only a few seconds before your foot gets twisted off...
Had a feeling he was gonna go for the legs after that guy was playing hard ball on the laying there not giving up his upperbody. Like how rafa tries all his options up top and then goes for the other half of the body to make them pay.
I understand that obviously Manly's goal was to get Ashi in this match, but laying down and having a guy like mendes on top from the beginning is crazy. I dont care how well your foot game is.
Why wouldn't someone at least try some escapes from side control....who cares how many times you get caught by RM, maybe learn something when he stops your best escape or something...unless he was injured that was pretty lame way to roll in my opinion
I am Brazilian and I been doing BJJ for years.I will tell you that When you are going up against a guy who has 8 International BJJ Titles like Rafael Mendez you would be on the defensive too.Getting your guard passed In a 1 minute Is not skill.If he can prevent his guard from getting passed for more than a minute than he will get more confidence.getting your guard passed will only get you a loss In competition.In MMA you are gong to get mounted and Ground Pounded.
At some point we have to conclude that BJJ is still a martial art and sport jj should reflect that at some level. You can't just lay on your back waiting for an opportunity for the guy on top to move so you can escape. That holds no actual value at all. Not on a sport level and damn sure not on the street. I have no doubt the black guy is fully capable of executing a great escape obviously hi level and strong to boot. This is the mentality creeping.
> At some point we have to conclude that BJJ is still a martial art and sport jj should reflect that at some level. No we don't. That's just your opinion, not a fact. You are welcome to feel how you want about it, but that doesn't mean anyone has to agree. Why don't you go comment on wrestling videos about how they never throw punches or boxing videos about how they never kick? If people want to use grappling as a sport that's their choice, if you don't like it go start a self-defense-only gym and train the way _you_ want to. Or just stop watching things that you don't like.
1234kingconan anytime you start to feel like sweeping/escaping Rafa Mendes' top position is that easy feel free to pop in the gym and show everyone how it's done.
He's just laying there not doing anything. Lol
knee on belly transition like a boss 7:50
rafa should know not to leave a brotha hangin
6:19 loll
bruh left dude hanging after donkey guarding him into a toehold. savage af lmao I saw his soul leave his body.
what was the jump thing at 7:25?
also, rafael is so sick
This proves ass to mouth is the most powerful guard in jiu jitsu, period.
that moment when rafa is going for your foot and you think "fuck uck fuck fuck
The deadhooker gaurd against rafa?
Jason Manly was screaming for NORTH SOUTH CHOKE me ala Marcelo Garcia when he was laying on his back holding his arm close-tight on him! lol

Lol the guy on the white shirt waste too much time on rolling, i'd rather get tapped trying to escape. Than laying there doing nothing.
i know that feel man...

5:32 smell this!
fist bump whiffed
Was that day defense day? Looked like the guy on bottom was just working hard to not get tapped. He didn't seem to be working anything.
6:19 LOL

Ryron gracie student ? Lol
6:19 sadness
7:51 - Did he teleport into mount?!
lol that was insane
His nickname in Brazil is "O Bruxo", which means "male witch", so i guess yes, he did teleport.
Like 40.000 penalties for stalling? Oh wait that equals 10.000 disqualifications
Boop: 5:33
The black guy in the black gi did not do well :(
Ouch not good rafa haha

Keeping it playful, AKA, playing dead. Lol

That's his choice and I agree it was pretty shitty bjj for him to lay there like that.

Maybe, just maybe, he's working on improving a specific skill, or training for a particular scenario.
