And then the workout part is also very interesting (although I don’t workout). And then the portion on the airplane seat sleep thing is… although an obvious plug, still nice content! I’m a happy boy

When Magnus started doing videos with different kinds of athletes and competitors I had a feeling this was coming down the line eventually. Especially the strongmen trying climbing videos because you think "I wonder if powerlifter strength will translate to climbing grip strength?" and jujitsu is always pushing back against people who don't think it would work against strong men, powerlifters etc. This is now another wrinkle in that debate. Magnus isn't big, not ridiculously strong, but has insane grip strength, flexibility, and climbing seems to work muscle groups in a similar way to jujitsu. I can almost guarantee that magnus would progress significantly faster than most people, even athletes if he stuck to it for a few years. It makes me think of something Eddie bravo said on Joe Rogan years ago about breakdancers starting jujitsu and getting to black belt 2 or 3 years faster than other people, it's just something that involves a lot of the same movements and perhaps even thought processes (I know it sounds weird, but i think there's something to it). I guess this is just a long winded way of saying that if a skilled climber wanted to pick up ANY combat sport, I'd be surprised if they didn't find jujitsu to be the most natural and in tune with their ability. In a weird way even just looking at both, they really seem surprisingly similar. I could be totally off though, so if anyone has experience with both, i welcome your perspective.

​​@bollong bollong it's possible but if you have a good lock or choke you can effectively warn them: "bite me and I break your arm"

​@bollong bollong okay... So you got a bite mark on your leg. Perhaps even a small tear of flesh. But in exchange, you render his arm useless and still have the opportunity to move on to more deadly force if desired

agreeee!!!

Against a blackbelt of that caliber, everything. Doesn't matter what you do, it is wrong.

@@DBowTXhe doesn’t mean it like that even tho it’s true he was just admiring Magnus’s yearn for learning a completely foreign skill

Lies again? Loyalty Bonus Learn Brazil

@@placeholder2836 I know how he meant it. I've asked the exact same question. As you learn more, you realize it would be akin to asking a chess master what you did wrong against him. You sat down at the table, or in this case, got on the mat. There is no "right move" because there is a counter to every counter. Even some of the tenants of BJJ, say: keep your elbows tight, can become a liability against a skilled blackbelt. Thats what I meant. Osu

@@DBowTX Which is the difference between someone who's skilled and someone who is a good teacher. Just like in chess, not all grandmasters are good at teaching and this is the same in Juijutsu or any skill in general. Teaching is completely different from being able to learn and master something, teaching is much more a people-skill than it is a mastery of the skill you're teaching. Gracie knows there's 1000 things he can point out that are wrong, but information overload makes that a bad idea. What's better is beginning a set of fundamentals that Magnus (or the student) can use to build themself up to a framework where he can begin teaching closer and close to these 1000 things. Just how like I wouldn't give an 8y/o quadratic formulas if they only know addition/subtraction. Keep your elbows tight is because it's a good fundamental to start at, as you get better, you begin to understand when to not unlock your elbows. Most competitive skills are a set of fundamentals, that when you reach a high enough level, you learn when to break those fundamentals. "What did I do wrong" in this instance is a good question and it's up to the teacher to give a good answer. The answer should be something where the teacher explains what type of reactions he wants to see at the student's current skill level, in order to build good fundamentals.

My thoughts too and the words are not an overstatement, awesome teacher, great guy, incredibly inspiring to see.

much respect i did judo from about 4 until around 14 starting to get back into it as of late

Haha I’d love to have his passion as well, inevitably I will find my thing like Rener clearly has

"Well see that's the problem, it's not jiu jitsu" -Rener, probably lol

‘Harness rener’s energy ‘😂😂

My coach is the same way the best coaches r the ppl who really love what they do. U should try jiu jitsu it’s fun

For me as an introvert its somewhat hard to watch because i dont know how to deal with speakers that put so much energy. But I think its bringing me forward if I still watch and learn.

And the best thing is that you can do gracie combatives from home, buddy. I promise you, is the same class that magnus took from Renner with him and his brother, Riron.

love to see it

@@JoshDoes It's wholesome. Hope it warmed up your heart too, cuz mine melted

I think he inherited that persona and attitude from his father and grand father's school. This type of great martial arts teacher was more common in the late 1970's early 1980's. It's something that should be perpetrated for humanity. Today's de-generations are so narcissistic and impersonal they're not exposed to greatness like this.

@@ericastier1646 Cirurgical comment. As a 16 years old, i've been avoiding most of what our current generation has to offer, since it's complete nonsensical bs. I appreciate your elegant existence my friend, stay strong in a world that belongs to irrationality and evil behavior. Edit: First of all, thanks for the explanation.

@@ErickOS6038 You're welcome, my compassionate advice to great young European natives people is to stick with people like Magnus, down to earth, and avoid the toxic degenerate pressure of the monopoly media which is used as a weapon by the enemy parasite financial minority oppressing those who built that civilization. Yes what is being fed to the current young generations by those people is toxic nonsensical bs. Trust your instinct and your independent voice and know that the enemy is currently in power and giving all the wrong markers to the young people. Trust like minded people only not media bs.

Look up Rener and Ryron's other videos. Their entire white belt course is on UKposts. It's called Gracie Combatives. They're amazing teachers.

Hot take and, of course, YMMV, but the charisma felt a bit put-on and manipulative to me. I usually prefer a more sober tone. Not entirely so, but serious enough so that I don't wonder whether the enthusiasm is some kind of emotional control. Emotions are contagious, and, yes, there are people out there who know this and use it to their advantage but not necessarily yours. -- Self-Edit -- I would like to add that, although the charisma in the video seemed like a practiced form of, let's call it, engagement, I don't believe it's entirely unhelpful (since some students benefit from a show of enthusiasm) or even at all malicious. Still, I recoil at what I perceive to be people's conscious, tactically deployed techniques of influencing others, and I guess I do perceive such techniques here. -- Self-Edit #2 -- It's only fair that I also acknowledge that some people are just exuberant by nature, that they, when they act spontaneously, slap people's backs and strut for cameras. They don't do these things to influence others but because they aren't influencing themselves. I have to admit that, although I suspect the "bro"s and "he's a natural" and "I'm going to steal your shoes" in this video _are_ conscious attempts at influencing Magnus's psychological state, there's no way for me to know for sure.

@@RictorIAG Thank you, I went and subbed and it will definitely be in my watch list.

@@declup and if they are downplaying the enthusiasm because they find that people are more easily manipulated from a neutral point as I generally would? He seemed genuine in wanting to be enthusiastic even if that is to provide a infectious energy. Edit to say: I didn't mean to imply my goals are to manipulate but that I am generally more comfortable with lower energy and emotions. I'd say removing the idea of having motive from human interaction is basically impossible.

Magnus 9 months later 🫄 first man to get pregnant 😂😂😂

Hahaha. I finally convinced two friends to come and learn. And I know it's going to be awkward for the first couple of sessions till they get it.

hahah LMAOO it indeed looks exactly what he was thinking

Rener really explained things well, it's like he was letting him in on the secrets.

It looked like he was on coke. He tryhard wanted to sell his family's product, which is effective only under bjj rules, or vs drunk people, and which is basically only judo newaza.

I think many people could achieve great things if they were under Rener's wing for a year

I would 1000% watch a video about Magnus's bjj progression over 1 year with check-ins every few months or so. Would be cool to hear how bjj skills inform climbing and vice versa also.

Probably alot, but in jiu jitsu terms, not much. If that makes sense lmao.

@@Omgiamsotriggered I feel like a BJJ blue belt would roll 99% of the untrained population. So I have to agree with your assessment. He'll be a much more formidable fighter but in terms of BJJ he wont get very deep into it in just a year.

nah he seemed so uncomfortable, its not his sport. I dont think he likes rolling on the ground with men

His passion is contagious :)

Do it, I’ve been doing it for a few months. This video was great!

Indeed, I felt the urge to try rock climbing... Rener was nice too :)

Parabens!!!

congratulations on that

No it's not. There is nothing inherently special about the Gracies, but they've done a good job of mystifying themselves so that people put them on a pedestal, which just increases their net worth. The actual best coaches these days are not Gracies. Rener is a businessman far above all else. He's also a total scumbag with his "expert" witness testimony.

Well, if you have a spare $600 you can book a session, then you won't need to be jealous anymore 😂

Seriously, he’s PRing in entertainment!

he's the best one ever

Humble? Lol. One of the most aggressive sales guy I've ever seen. If you translate what he said, it is something like this: "GRACIE THE BEST, BJJ THE BEST, COME, PAY, BUY OUR BJJ, WHICH IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET, YOU DON'T NEED STRENGTH, SPEED, STAMINA, FLEXIBILITY, YOU ONLY NEED ME, MY FAMILY AND BJJ, AND YOU CAN BEAT ANYONE, LITTTERRRALLY ANYONE - ps: only under bjj rules or if you sneak up on someone from behind on a lawn..." They are selling Judo newaza as their own for many decades now. They used UFC to advertise their product, of course they had to adjust the UFC rules in the favor of their bjj to make it seem more effective, but whatever. Now they use big yt channels to sell "their" stuff.

@@HunGerMovies back in yer hole point dexter.

@@jasonmacneil2256 did not meant to hurt your bjj feelings, if you are tired after work, bjj class is a good place to chill on your back

@@foehammer2127 what? what in the world are you referencing? (edit: I looked it up, but he was just an expert witness, the lawsuit was not from or against him)

I think you can really see that magnus is an outstanding athlete. One part of him being a fast lerner is the amount of awarness he has for his body.

@@SpydersByte Foehammer loves to add some suspense

@@SpydersByte He did win the case while taking money and saying some questionable things.

Those ego checks are so important and humbling at the same time. It's good to be reminded those people exist, who can use their athleticism and awareness of their body to learn faster than you thought possible. Seems every BJJ school has that one naturally gifted high school athlete who starts getting taps with techniques they just learned at the start of class.

Bro why is every Josh I know a blackbelt (Full disclosure I only know two Josh's irl)

He’s an amazing teacher makes it look easy to learn from him.

I’m a CrossFitter and also survived against a Bjj black belt in my first class ! Infact i think we had a close “roll “ - I think they call it rolling ! Just goes to show how transferable / CrossFit and other sports are to BBJ ! Great content

Serendipitous! 😄🙌

cool profile picture

Same! Although frankly I'm doing very little climbing these days. Live somewhere very flat sadly. Did find my hands were getting ruined though doing both.

12 years to purple? I’m a purple after 2 years? I think they promote a lot more quickly in the U.K.

@@genkisudo5999 yeah idk how you’d get purple in 2 years. Usually around 2 years per belt tbh

My coach told me it’s a old school myth that it should take 8-9 years to black belt. Just a way to get more money out of students. As long as you get the attendance card signed 2-3 a week there’s no reason to not be a black in 4 years. I’ll get my brown end of this year and hopefully black next year. The US is still a bit old school in its approach to grading

@@genkisudo5999well you’re likely going to be on a much lower level than the black belts who are taking years longer. Having it predetermined to get a belt nearly every year just for coming 2-3x a week, is likely not the best. It is natural for people to hit learning plateaus when there are certain techniques that they can’t quite get. The amount of time it takes to advance through belts is and should always be variable.

@ Big Mac again I think maybe the criteria is different depending on gym / country. If you train consistently you can earn your blue in 6 months on average. Purple in a year (I don’t train every day so was held back and achieved mine in 2). I have a background in CrossFit so I think 3-4 years to black is reasonable. Then I’ll look at moving onto coaching

Good luck dude! I’m sorry for everything you’ve been going through, I hope doing bjj helps and overall things get better 🙏🏼

@@littledrummergirl_19 thank you soo much for the kind words brother....means a lot!

all I'm getting is a kind of salesman business evangelist energy.

It’s called Renergy

​@@Bestmann3n Tbh I also felt like he was a good salesman for the martial art, I was a vaguely interested in BJJ before, but now I'm looking into getting some classes for it and joining a gym locally. You can tell he really wants to encourage more people to learn the martial art because of how passionate and excited he is for it.

He really wants to sell some BJJ, and you can tell that he loves making money and telling people that he has the answers.

@@Bestmann3n get out of the couch bro

You should totally give it a go. I climbed for over 20 years and kinda got bored (also lived somewhere without real rock). Tried Brazilian jiu jitsu and it's been so much fun. Only thing I'd say is that you have to be okay with being really close to other people and getting crushed... a lot. The ego takes a bruising for sure but eventually you learn the techniques and then you're hooked on it.

the hardest belt to get is the white belt, find a gym and just try it fr

BJJ will change your life, trust me!

There’s no harm in giving it a go! And it could change your life

@@williamsmith8329 it’s actually the opposite tbh lol. When do you see guys walking around in rash guards and tight shorts? A Gi represents trousers and a jacket in street situations. No Gi is literally an adjustment made for MMA fighters who compete in nothing but shorts lol.

But your strength, cardio and flexibility do improve when you start training jiu-jitsu

this!

it is super fun but one warning would be that if you are rolling constantly (3-5 days a week) you will end up always having some little ache or pain it's essentially unavoidable.

@@asdffsdafdsafdsa7877 Would you say that's because of pressure on joints from locks or something else?

@@97itachiuchiha so "rolling" means sparring and you're going hard so while doing techniques and black belts flowing makes it look soft and smooth when you're actually both trying to "win" and you're evenly skilled it's an incredibly strenuous activity and accidents / strains can happen. It's not from applying locks since you're rolling your gymmates / friends so you don't snap on joint locks, you don't try to apply them too hard etc. it's not a competition where you would intentionally break someone's arm, but just like in wrestling it's a very high pace physically demanding sport. Now you could do BJJ and never roll hard I suppose but you'd only be getting like 1/3rd of the experience. You could also try just rolling people way better than you which is also much safer. but when you are constantly rolling people of similar skill levels you just get aches and pains / small or large injuries.

I stepped on the mat for the First time in 2020. Today i Work in my Gym and teach the Kids classes. It completely Changes my Life for the better

whole gracies is a sales family, selling judo newaza as bjj, then trying to convince you it is good for every situation and peoplel in the world

@@HunGerMoviesit’s is by far the most effective discipline for real-world fighting once the fight hits the ground. Combined with boxing or muay-Thai you are a complete fighter

@@justinrose5515 bjj (judo newaza) guys cannot take people to the ground, and I have never seen a street fight going to the ground... once someone is on the ground, the fight is usually over or just there is a break, noone would ever want to go to the ground in a street fight, if you are muay thai fighter, you will never need bjj in street fight... the only time I saw bjj guys going to the ground in street fight was vs drunk people or junkies and they attacked them from behind unexpectedly, in a face to face fight bjj sucks ass. Judo, plus Muay thai, then you are complete fighter, you can strike, block strikes, you are not surprised if you take 1-2 punches or kicks, and you have the balance of a judoka, you can stand your ground and if the opponent starts grabbing you, you can easily take him down in dozens of ways, with you landing on the top all the time. You will have also all the submission techniques a bjj guy has if needed.

Yeah that's a good point. Magnus is building a bit of Joe Rogan rolodex. He can just call up people and have good odds of a meeting.

Renergy(tm)

"Calmness", you say? Are we talking same person? He's hyper af (at least verbally)! Almost too much for me :D

@@arcuscerebellumus8797 I would say his hyper verbal activity is to keep up with the pace of his action. But otherwise I think his way to teach and explain things in such a short period of time (for each move) requires patience and to stay calm to understand how much the student is grasping. I like to think you(we) feel he is hyper verbally because this was likely how advanced coaching goes as Magnus really isn't a beginner like most.

obviously rener gracie is top teacher and is known as such.. but this is also what magnus does or did for a living, figuring out foot and body positions and type of grips to use in a very variable manner cause every climb is different. Thats why you tell him once or twice and he does it. if you think about it climbing is quite synonymous to grappling with rock walls

I'm confused by your statement. Are you saying Rener was advertising too much AND this was also a good lesson?

​@@MyZ001those don't sound mutually exclusive to be honest

The advertising was a genius idea. Just imagine how many people started bjj classes after this video? It has over 1.6 million views.

He is an agressive sales guy, and it seems he is successful. He sounds like a teleshop guy selling a device which is good for everything, then you receive it, and you cannot even peel a potato with it. Gracies family was always about marketing. They used UFC as their marketing channel first, they shaped its rules in favor of bjj to make it seem more effective. Whenever they lost to a Judoka, karate guy or other one, they slightly changed the rules. I remember when one of the Gracies lost to a Judoka, and he did not congratulate because he told he did not pass out he just "relaxed" :D Then next time he met the Judoka, the rules changed, he did not wear a GI anymore, while Judoka did, and he kicked the Judoka in the groin in the first round :D I think it was Yoshida, but you can also check Sakuraba fights vs Gracies to see how effective they are :D

learning bjj along with other martial arts opens up so many possibilities! and although you won’t find someone as extreme an example as rener gracie in every gym the people who do jiujitsu are generally welcoming and friendly in my experience!
