    Props to Jake for rolling and not giving a crap that he is being filmed with Mendes, even though it's a tough roll for him. You can tell, his goal is to improve and he doesn't give a rats ass what ya all think. That's Jiu Jitsu!

      jake just said in his latest instagram post (one with gordon ryan) in the comments that rafa had him roll with all the students here first so he was exhausted. then made him roll with him and secretly filmed it without him knowing.
      dick move imo, jake called it the lamest thing hed seen in his 20+ years of bjj training.

    So, here’s the back story of this little training video!!! The TRUTH!!! Rafa had Jake roll with a bunch of his top students 1 after another after another…. Then after Jake was already completely worn out… “without” asking Jake if it was ok he jumped in and started filming. Rafa won’t come on here and dent this because it’s the exact truth. LAME thing to do! Lost tons of respect for Rafa. I used to think he was like the Michael Jordan of BJJ but now I realize he is more like Floyd Mayweather. He controlled his career from beginning to end and back out of any matches he knew he had a chance of losing just like mayweather always did. Live and learn. SMOKE and MIRRORS…. Retired very young so he didn’t have lose. So now the world knows the truth about this video and RAFA’s MO!!!! He has don’t this many many times in tbt past. Let’s his students wear out people then films himself rolling with them like he’s a super hero. Shady shady shady

    Yeah that's madness. I don't train BJJ so I guess I can't appreciate it 100% (porbably more around 10-15%) but Mendes is insane. It's not a blue belt against him. At 9:20, Shields is breathing hard, he is red and trying to catch his breath while Mendes is just chilling. Mendes is on the bottom against a trained pro athlete probably 30 or 40 pounds heavier. But it's Shileds who is exhausted.

    Strictly jits vs MMA jits, shows how good someone can be at one aspect of the sport of MMA. Yet throw in punches & the tables would turn bc certain techniques in strictly grappling aren't effective in in MMA. Shields is a well known grappler, yet his highly successful MMA style of grappling dominance can't be as effective in only grappling. This reminds me of one aspect of striking in boxing vs MMA striking. Cool video!

    Rafa is on another level but Jake is an MMA fighter with a BJJ specialty not a sport BJJ specialist. He is originally a wrestler and compared to a lot of other wrestlers in MMA has chosen to develop his grappling over his striking. That said, he is solid but unspectacular and very rarely threatens with submissions or stops his opponent with ground and pound and is generally not a very offensive fighter. Rafa just sees possibilities that Shields doesn't conceive until he's tapping.

    • @therealjohnnyjohnson
      @therealjohnnyjohnson 10 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Solid comment? Are you nuts? Jake is in mendez school showing respect. You never go to another guys place and disrespect him. Jake got out of several choke attempts and several other sub attempts. They are "rolling" if you know what that is? You don't always roll to win! He may just be learning a few technical positions from mendez. I'm sure they didn't speak before this roll? Doy? Jake just walked in and started rolling! Use your head before you downgrade anyone. Shields would kill this guy! Mendez may be better but until they compete you won't know that answer! Sorry for bursting your bubble juijitsu specialist but I train as well.

Pan Am champ a few times, Advance Champ a few times, and Absolute? Dude Non BJJ guys don't just do that... Yes Rafa is on another level but for Jake being a MMA guy, stepping into the BJJ world doing what he does is pretty dam good. Not sure how anybody could "Solid" your comment.. What a dumb Co-sign... One is one of the best in the world... The other is one of the best.. Jake would snuff all 4 of us commenting on this thread real quick like.. And if I'm wrong.

      Dominic Lobban I'm willing to bet his experience level is far above your own lol.
      The conclusion shouldn't be Jake is somehow deficient, but perhaps Rafael is extremely good.

    • @supaflylob
      @supaflylob 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I don't have to be a master to be able to make an observation or criticism. That's bad logic on your part.
      He is obviously trying to muscle his way in. Any blue belt, or even many white belts a point learns to stop relying on strength and more on their technique.
      And yes, Rafael is also very good

      Dominic Lobban I watched Jake compete in 2013 in a submission only match against Leandro Lo and he held his own. The match went to a draw.
      Jake's passing style is to pressure pass so he has to use some strength in order to keep Rafa's hips and body locked down. There's definitely a lot of technique there, it's just that Rafa is really efficient at creating space, sweeping and threatening submissions.

    Watch this incredible technique by Mendes at 5:16 to take the back. There's many more incredible techniques but for some reason I really like that one. Thank you for this learning experience to both Mendes and Shields.

    jake was using waaaaay to much strength. wtf? not do be a dick or anything but you would think a black belt in bjj would be a little more technical and focus on the way he breathes.and what was with him not posturing up when in rafaels guard?

  • @BobBelson
    @BobBelson 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not sure who is who but the guy in red needs more guard passing technique .Never pushes hips to mat to pin the other guys legs once which got him in t.ouble often . He rolls like a strong blue belt with serious wrestling skills and good base .The guy in black on the other hand is solid black belt with great defense and good offense though his style is frustrating as players like that use their ass as a weapon. to block while looking for sweeps and leg attacks

      +Ernesto Guerrero hmm that may be true to an extent, but i'm more annoyed by bigger guys not wanting to play guard. Of course you can always get to pass with a huge size advantage like that, but if you have a killer guard as well...
