That white belt guy that wouldn't go around to watch the technique closely was pissing me off 😂 thank goodness he moved towards the end for my peace of mind 😂
Thank you Rick for spend time to make this video you really made my day !! . I’m 53 years old and I’m just promoted to blue belt but many times I been in that position that you showed in the video with young guys and my Gas been out and is very uncomfortable felling . Now I will utilize that technique that you showed in the video and I know that will make different. Once again thank you very much brother and hopefully meet you one day.
The idea to put pressure while you are in low position is one of my "goal" to achive, but when I tell this idea, normally people say it's impossible... tnks for the example
I’m 27 but I love your content! Bc of past injuries and to prevent future ones, I try to limit my game to less explosive movements and also focus on smooth movements. I switched to an old guy game after about 4 years into training. I was pretty good (humble brag) but I was always getting hurt. I had enough and finally decided to only roll hard once per week and would only drill and flow roll with certain partners the rest of week. Huge difference! I can finally train for more than a few months at a time. I also play a lot of half guard, and focus on control and pressure from top. So yeah, I identify as an old guy 😂 to anyone, if you are younger, athletic, 200lbs plus,etc like I am, don’t feel pressured to go hard or keep up with the meat heads. a lot of guys will want to prove themselves to you especially if you look look like a meathead. Always be ready to tap, only go more than 70% once in a while, and say no to rolls with dickheads or someone who can’t chill. That’s just what I’ve learned. Thanks again Rick ! I’ll see you around SD one of these days
Huge huge fan! My daughter and I started a day apart and on this amazing journey together. She’s 12 I’m 42 blue belt and she’s yellow white, we’ve come so far from day one. These seminars you have sounds like jitsu Heaven. We’re on this together but she’s not an old dog like me and we both want a once in a lifetime opportunity. Professor Rick is there a way we could join a seminar together ? We’re in Honolulu and an opportunity to do one of these is once in a lifetime, hey you went to the Netherlands’ when is Hawaii on your list?🙏 but we’d fly to so-cal if my bubs can come along. Btw your and your student’s jiu jitsu is sooooo fluid love your school
That pressure you are showing - we had a visiting black belt from Europe who did that to me just without hand/fist under my back, he was controlling the hip. I could not escape and after 2 minutes it felt horribly heavy!
The professor is doing a compression choke which actually is a lung choke. It’s similar to the lung choke that Joush Barnett choked Dean Listen with. Dean Listen hadn’t been submitted in 16 years prior to Josh applied the technique. It’s kinda part of the invisible Jujitsu that Blacks know.
I stumbled upon doing this don't think it was ever taught to me but makes it difficult for them to shrimp they have less of their back on the ground I believe to create power to shrimp also.
I’m a 48 year old newbie training at Gym Royale under Raoul Hiwat in Amsterdam. Really appreciating your BJJ over 40 content Rick, encouraging and applicable. Safe travels, enjoy Holland and perhaps on your next visit I can help assemble a group of older practitioners for a seminar here in Amsterdam. Regards, Andrew
Actually, l think the hard underneath the and applied pressure will definitely slow them down. It should feel more like a compression choke similar to the one Josh Barnett placed on Dean Listen who hadn’t been tapped for 16 years prior to their match. I’m an over 45 year old grappler so l’m definitely going to add this to my grappling arsenal. Coach AL
Scheduling conflicts this year, but if you put out notice for next year soon enough I'll probably make it. And pressure and connection (attachment) from bottom is something I have been aware of and work on, but any help with it is greatly appreciated.
Part of me would love to, but I'm increasingly getting opportunities to travel and teach, so it doesn't quite fit with the mobile lifestyle I'm trying to build.
So, at 3:58, I tell people to rotate the thumb down, which engages the lats and makes it very difficult for the top person to jack up the arm for the choke. Or you can give them a little ride in the buggy - th-cam.com/video/SuDuhXGwENE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vsDq6iIhIfesmLMA
That's definitely stronger if your arm isn't anchored because it engages the biceps, but if you're grabbing the lat or belt you can make a very strong lever regardless. You can definitely go to the buggy from there too.
Like the channel but BJJ don't like me😅 new injury since 2 month already a sterno-clavicular sh*t. It's horrible I can't do sh*t. Idk when I can come back safely
I love seeing so many passionate “old guys” from so many various schools here together working toward improving their Jiu Jitsu.
The ribs in the solar plexus from top side control is like a knee on belly, but much lower center of gravity. Nice!
Mr Ellis never disappoints! I’m a 56 year old black belt fighting sands of time every roll
& so appreciate this approach!

😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Looking forward to having you at my gym next week!! 🙌🏼🙏🇳🇱

That looks like a simple version of harpoon sweep shown by Pedro Sauer during the seminar last year, had a good time there:)
Masters 1 checking in. Excellent video. Thank you, immensely. OSS
that sweep is sick.
Beautiful idea and great principles! 🗒
That first sweep is my go to from the bottom! We call it the top shoulder roll. I’m a blue belt at Gracie academy and I’m over 40 lol
A great pressure demonstration!
Rick, ball your hand into a fist and place it underneath their back like your stabbing the ground. A flat hand disperses too much pressure. 9:29
Indeed, but that’s extremely mean to do to your training partners.
Would love to get out for this next year
Nice 👍

Great content as always ! As a fellow old grappler this stuff is great and will look to incorporate it during my rolls. Thanks again!
Awesome tips. You're deceptively fast when you kick it into gear. That's something I don't have.

I definitely want to try for this Old Guys seminar next year!
I'm planning on doing another one either late summer or early fall this year. Stay tuned...
Wow, some incredible information! Always enjoy your stuff!
Great stuff, particularly the pressure from the bottom. Thank you for sharing this!

thanks, man! safe travels...c'mon out to Tokyo, my friend!
Nice

Great stuff
Love this!!
Thank you, Rick!
😅
You're welcome!

Is it possible to buy a summit shirt ?
I made those just for swag at our event.
Will you join Roy in Kristiansand, Norway?
Yes, I’ll be there!
When will you open your own academy? We need AOS Jiu Jitsu to open already!
Part of me would love to, but I'm increasingly getting opportunities to travel and teach, so it doesn't quite fit with the mobile lifestyle I'm trying to build.
Can you effectively crossface while still exerting that top pressure on the solar plexus, or does one take pressure away from the other?
You’ll end up relieving some pressure to get a deep cross face.
So, at 3:58, I tell people to rotate the thumb down, which engages the lats and makes it very difficult for the top person to jack up the arm for the choke.
Or you can give them a little ride in the buggy - th-cam.com/video/SuDuhXGwENE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vsDq6iIhIfesmLMA

I’m 37.
Don’t exclude me!!!

Oldest guy didn’t tap
He was impressive for guy in his late 60s. Not just in that clip, but generally.
Speed and agility leave you eventually, if you learn to apply pressure your bjj will last a lot longer as you age.
