Mica's maturity, humility and instructional ability are equally impressive. Much appreciated details and application. Ready to try it at next roll. OSS
Just had my elbow and shoulder wrecked in sparring by this, so thank you so much for this video. I'll be trying it myself at my next class, and see if I can formulate a defence too... 🙏🏽🔥💪🏽
there's always going to be a difference between someone who's been doing something (in this case grappling) since they could walk vs someone who just has put alot of time and effort into it, even at world level. mica's already figured out the system years before any of his other peers even started grappling, and he grew up naturally learning and conditioning to the system; just like learning his abc's and numbers + math, etc. at that age lol, he was also learning his abc's in grappling. so grappling is as natural as breathing to mica and he still puts in an enormous amount of studying/training despite having an already incredible level of foundation in it. honestly, he'll just get further and further away from everyone skillwise, and it will be be very hard to catchup with him. would like to see a nicky ryan vs mica match even though i still think mica would win -- he's just such a rare caliber of athlete in the sport. we're watching a bjj athlete on a whole other level.
Wow. As a guy with squatty little legs I almost never play closed guard because most the attacks have seemed to require me to shoot my legs around them in some way. This stuff is great. Doesn't require me to wrap my legs around anything. Total short guy move.
He is not the pinnacle even among the heavyeright. Werdum submitted Overeem, Fedor, Minotauro, Cain Velazques, for example, and has a better jiu jitsu.
I get in IBJJF you can’t just pick where you compete. But I think generally State champion level wrestlers with BJJ training should compete at Blue belt, and NCAA champion level guys should be at least Purple Belt.
To be fair, it's not exactly the lock that Mir made famous by way of tapping Pete Williams. I saw it live, and Mica probably wasn't even born at the time. In the original Mir lock, your outside knee goes under the arm that is being attacked, and you use this knee to create space between you and your opponent, hiperextending the arm. It's one of my main moves in no gi, I've been using it literally since that Mir/Williams fight.
There are variations. Another is what Orlando Sanchez did to Sean Strickland in that grappling session video that went viral through the MMA/grappling communities.
I don't think there's a human in the bjj world that's as genuine and awesome as Bernardo

Mica is the future!

Yes !! I hope to see more techniques from mica
Awesome. It is one of my fav sub with Palhares leg locks
I was able to pull this off during a roll last night. I think I'll be using this a lot.
Love his game, so technical. Reminds me of Marcelo Garcia

baby goat, oss!
Is there a half guard variation?
Quality
One of the homies hit me with this yesterday...caught me mid pass, had to check it out lol
You need to do one master Rickson Gracie or Henry akins. Please
I'm surprised that Frank Mir doesn't have any instructional videos for jiu jitsu since he's pretty much the pinnacle for jiu jitsu in MMA.
I wouldn't say that, lol
Nogueira, Maia, and Ryan Hall would be higher I guess.
I'd gladly buy a Frank Mir instructional!
@@copyninja8756 I mean, he did beat Big Nog with a Kimura in an actual fight. That's a legit accomplishment in my opinion.
