I tried going for his collar, Rener is about 6'3'' I'm around 5'9''. I was having a hard time reaching for his lapels, and he obviously knows this would be my "ideal attack" since he doesn't have hands to use to defend. He makes it all seem very graceful, but he's making very subtle movements that are perfectly timed and executed. Pure GJJ.

The Gracies never stop to amaze me...

This is ridiculous. Loved the transitions just before the two finished triangles... my brain exploded. I love it.

its incredibly humbling to watch a guy like this.

Lol i love how rener is surprised by his own awesomeness. "oh wow, that was pretty freaking knarly!"

WOW.... I love the commentary overlay

I have watched a lot of bjj videos, and honestly this is one of the best bjj skills I have ever seen

that was terrific stuff... if someone ties your hand together you can possibly defend yourself...

Awesome! I think we need to work this at our school - rolling sans hands would really help us work on utilizing our hips more efficiently and not relying on grips and upper body strength as much.

Wow! Amazing! Good stuff. 👍

I love this bike. I flew from Texas to Seattle to get mine, and drove it back down the west coast, and then east. Beautiful bike. :)

Proud and honored to say that, that is one of my instructors!!!

Impressive!!! Definitely a sign of true skill.

Your a boss man. Through your Gracie breakdown videos, you've shows me bjj, the one thing I love doing in life. Before this it was just college, home, high. Not knowing what I want to do in life but this is it!! It's changed me in many ways, I've stopped smoking, started exercising, landed a job and going to join a bjj/ mma centre once I can afford it. Thank you Rener and Ryron for showing me what I now love!!

Seriously Amazing!!

Beautiful first sweep roll into mount

Beautiful setup!

that was sick...loved it can't wait to be at that level no hands, now i know there is no excuse for not moving forward in training.

As the purple belt in the video (Vinnie), all I can say is Dang!! Hahaha. Anytime Rener calls you to spar, just walk the other way. This drill was really fun. It was good for me too, because it made me realize how hard it is to control someone else's body when you don't have any under hooks. There is no way to grip around their arms, no arm or shoulder attacks, and no threat of being repeatedly attacked. Easy to get bucked off the top position. Thought I'd get him with that belt loop choke.

I bet you'd get him if you guys went again.. if you have been studying leg locks that is.

Brilliant use of what BJJ is all about man!!

the hook sweeps are very impressive

Now this really is awesome.

Much respect! Now thats talent!

Come down to the academy and challenge them fellas. I want to watch

I also wanted to point out, when the roll was all said and done, he didn't just let me walk away defeated, he stopped and shared other foot attacks I was missing, and since the video was made, he's helped me make adjustments to my game to conserve energy and operate more efficiently.

Magnificent thanks for sharing. Does it really enhance BJJ skills ? If so, in what way exactly ?

Would be fun to have a try, very nice video.

Amazing technique

awesome!

this was beautiful

That is awesome. Wow.

Beautiful Gracie Jiu Jitsu

Pure skills.

i have never trained bjj so help me out here. with his hands behind his back does that not take away some of the setups submissions available to the purple belt or does rener not being able to use his hands heavily outweigh the purple belt not being able to attack them use them for leverage etc ?

Rad footage!

this guy is so good...

5:05 "come on, vinnie, keep it real" lol

Wow! And to think I didn't go to class this week because of a dislocated finger. I will go to class and try this.

What Rener did takes a lot of skill and the demo was brilliant. Buy the purple belt its at a disadvantage in that while Rener's hand are tied, he cannot attack the arms or user them for leverage etc. Still a very useful exercise. Oss!

most people whos gyms have both train both i would as well but mine doesnt have judo so i only know a 3 throws. i mainly fight from my guard and havent seen any wrestler or judo guy who has as complex a guard game as bjj. maybe back then they did but now the two sports have gone to different paths, i dont know about judo but bjj is constantly being improved and innovated, its informality in that way is something i love, anyone can bring something to the game and everyones game is different

Awesome

What are the main issues to have in mind when doing this?, I mean, if no hands, what are the goals when countering the other attacks, like controlling his hips, or keeping the less distance between, etc.... thanks for any help : )

Como demonstração, é válido...realmente se ve muita técnica por parte do Rener, mas o roxa tbm tem pouco nível, mas o que vale mesmo é o Jiu jitsu, parabéns!

I like your style

I'm glad the video will bring the blue belt out of you... I've had a couple of knee surgeries and as a result, I limit the use of my left leg *you may see some of that in this video. Also check out Jean Jacques Machado. He is a black/red belt who was born without a few fingers on his left hand. He is a champion in BJJ and an amazing teacher and practitioner.

which ways are there to submit him without your arms? The only thing I can think of is the triangle you showed,

Thats pretty epic

thanks.

wow.. that was just AMAZING O_O

This is really the first time I've ever seen Rener use terminology from sport jiujitsu. I figured he knew advanced techniques of course, but it was a shocker to hear him talking about the reverse de la rivas.

that last triangle was slick

Sick!

laughing at these fools disrespecting the gracies. i agree that any belts earned on line are not the same as dojo earned belts but dont let yourself be fooled into believing that a purple belt from any gym is going to tap out a gracie brother. it is never going to happen. it takes a master to beat a master. dont ever forget that.

Wowww!! 🤯

I'm curious, where do you train BJJ?

The problem with having both of his arms tied down your choice of submissions are limited. No arms to armbar or triangle or americana. So basically just coke him?

its cool to see that with BJJ you can still defend yourself some with hands tied

respeito pra caramba esse sobrenome, mas tá na hora de eles respeitarem nossa inteligência também

BEAST

Super tallented!

Rener Gracie is such a true tallent. I love GJJ

This kind of video type is kinda retro to me. It reminds me of the really old Gracie tapes they have on KZread where Rickson and Royce are challenged by fighters of other styles and Rickson is narrating the action.

As a past BJJ blue belt, there is a huge difference in belt rank. A few years ago when I was training, I could toy with new students that outweighed me nearly 100 pounds. I could easily beat all the white belts, and most of the blue belts. When I rolled with a purple belt though, they defeated me easily. On the occasion I rolled with a black belt, I felt like I had no clue what I was doing. Quality BJJ black belts can tell what you are about to do almost before you decide to do it.

that was cool

Where did that guy get a purple belt

i am questioning the quality of the game from this "purple" belt... Maybe this is just a demonstration, they seem to roll really smothly but I would like to try both the Rener's chalenge and that purple belt...

"Hi, I'm a purple belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and have yet to learn lapel chokes against someone that has their hands tied down."

Were leglocks not allowed?

Those who have actually practiced jiujitsu for any decent amount of time, know what they are seeing here. It is just basic excellent jiujitsu. Nothing flashy, just great timing and technique by Rener.

freakin awsome

Damn subbed by a no armed man ..... tough day at the office

That was amazing... Triangles with no hands... how...

doesnt that mean the purple belt cant armbar and stuff on rener? thanks for awesome video

How would Rener tap with no hands?

no collar chokes allowed? or just something he couldn't pull off?

i do not understand, i thought bjj is the sports oriented variation of gracie jj?

For all the keyboard warriors who say Vinnie is not a "real" purple belt, I would urge you to try this drill on a much larger black belt who knows your game before saying anything. It's much harder than it looks, since there is no underhook, no overhook, no armbar, no triangle, no omo plata, etc. Basically you have chokes and leg locks, and Rener didn't give him either thanks to his positioning and strong bridge.

@toyhutnm although the arm is a neccesity it can be applied without it. If you really trained GJJ/BJJ you would know that. They always do it with the arm in cause its the right way.

Esse moleque aqui no Brasil tá mais pra faixa branca do que roxa. Não rola nada, já o Rener Gracie é um monstro.

sorta, we do similar drill in our gym where you have to just maintain dominant top position on you're opponent. but i've never tapped anyone like that.

Doesn't having your hands tied up prevent you from being armlocked in any way?

Here from the Charlie and Ben Podcast

Even though the purple belt has an advantage it is very difficult for him to put gracie in a triangle or armbar because of the way his arms are tied, he has to do a collar choke, front choke, guillotine, or a leg or ankle lock but at the same time gracie is simply stuck with a triangle and thats pretty much it

The Gracie breakdowns is where I first saw him, but this is one BAD dude. And he seems cool, sort of bloke you could be chillin' out with in a bar with a brew.

you got a cold, rener? lol. AWESOME roll, btw

1:24 Turns his back...that's it *throws computer out of the window*

If you're talking about the purple belt's side control, I don't think it's a great idea to put pressure on someone larger than you (with a strong bridge) without an underhook. Just saying.

ok now I want a purple belt

Ryron and Rener Gracie are undoubtedly two of the best BJJ instructors, as well as grapplers, on the planet. So it sometimes baffles me that no world champions or even a great grappler has come out of their academy. I know self-defense is their niche, but they still roll and use sport moves. So are they holding back like their Grandfather did, or are they really not as good (at teaching) as everyone believes?

They obviously specialize a lot in the psychology of self defense, and that's a big part of their training. That psychology is great for self-defense and teaching people who are weak, scared and suffer from low self-esteem, but not necessarily the psychology you should be using to teach a 'baller', meaning someone who is a genius, has high self-esteem and are pushing the limits of physical conditioning. So, you said it yourself: self-defense is their niche :)

It actually has some advantages having your arms tucked in like that

i sum up this video with a quote Rener used in this video: "Oh wow, that was pretty freakin narly"

do it against someone who is not your student or friend and is taking it easy on you

Kneebar with the chin?

see the title=> add to favorite

Have you ever practiced BJJ?

I feel as if i'm going to catch a cold just by watching this video.......

i think so too, it seems like a way to promote gracie jujitsu

Rener is excellent it's alot harder than it looks. Purple belt is an advanced belt and that purple belt is Gracie academy trained and roughly in Rener's weight class. Rener's got some serious skill! There's a video of him buldozing over 30 cops of something, killed them all!

this is fucking awesome grappling. cheers

it looked like that pruple belt didnt want to control him for some reason. Looked like he was taking it easy on renner?
