My name is Roy Marsh and I am a Black Belt under Royce Gracie.
I am the owner and Head Instructor of Gracie Schwarzwald.
My focus in my training and Instruction is Self-Defense centered.
What I try to do with my teaching is provide a conceptual understanding of the art with a deep exploration of details.
My goal is to teach the "Why" as much as the "What" and "How."

I've been doing martial arts for 30 years. I promise the one constant is frustration. There is always someone better, always another goal, always a new technique. Embrace it.
I got frustrated today. Embarrassed that i got frustrated.
Thanks for sharing that!
teacher and when they returned to the self-defense channel, they will be missed
Excelente video!!!
This dude is a beast. His instructions are so precise effective and official.
Thank you for this
I really needed this today. I've been so discouraged and frustrated past month I really want to quit. It has been eight months and I'm one stripe white belt, and I feel everyday I'm on the mat im getting worst and worst. Everyone is kicking my behind, and every time i get a mount or side control I immediately lose it. I hope it get's better.
The bad news is there will be many periods like this in your journey. The good news is that there will many periods where you will feel invincible. The real battle is just always moving forward. It's going to be hard but at those times where nothing seems to be working just start working on something new. If you're going to lose then lose while learning. Embrace the suck
I've been training for a year and just got tapped by a guy on his first day about same weight and height same age, yet i couldn't tap him.
Thanks a lot for this amazing video. I follow a lot rickson's philosophy and I feel that there is a lot of this. But I don't get the part of trying to make the guy not aligned ? Could yiu develop it? Thanks a lot
Thanks
I needed to hear this. Thanks
is this legal?
I've had several police who train with me watch me do it and not arrested me, so I guess so.
This is the greatest video i have ever seen
I’ve seen Rob Kahn teach that
We come from the same lineage and the same mindset
1:11 they finally do the technique
Saved and adding to routine!!! LOVE IT!!!
That’s nice!! I use the lapel a lot in that bottom side position - often as a distraction or bait because where I train not a lot do lapel stuff, so I’m DEFINITELY adding this gem to my game. THANK YOU for HYPOTHETICALLY getting together in the garage. 😂
good god do i have a lot to learn
I was 17 when I wrestled another guy who was clearly on steroids. His thighs were the only thing I could see when we were tied up while standing. He chose bottom to start the 2nd round. He stood up the first time like I wasn’t even there but I was able to return him to the mat. Before we hit the mat I arm chopped and I explosively drove my patella into the o-ring. I was not driving him forward by pushing on his rear section with my body weight transferred through my thigh In an efficient manner. I connected with just the patella and maybe 30% of my mass as it relates to Force=mass*acceleration The arm I chopped suddenly became an easy chicken wing. A month later we were at the league tournament and he chose top to start the 2nd. I won the match 2-0 due to 2 escape points earned by starting rounds 2 & 3 from the bottom position. After the match I asked him why he gave me the point. He said he knew what happened last time and he didn’t want to knowingly sign up for it. 2 morals: A) This technique works. B) You will be remembered as ‘that guy.’ Our coach had us drill this move. He had us drill breaking opponents down with maximum transfer of (mass)*(acceleration) and (shock)*(awe). (Shock)*(awe) wasn’t a regular drill, but it was a tool in the tool belt. We also drilled a cross face to the same region that’s stated intention was to get your arm between your opponents legs. I swear we were just using the thumbs side of a stereotypical karate chop hand to punch our teammates taint.
Very interesting !
Real Jiu-Jitsu
Hi Roy. Are you going to continue the Gracie Schwarzwald full course? The course is exceptional and it’s a real shame it finishes without moving onto ground work. Your breakdowns of positions are brilliant with real insight into how and why your in the position and what you need to look for. I’d love to see the rest but it seems it’s finished now?
One of the best videos on Jiu-Jitsu I've seen. These are the things I have been saying for years.
16:00 I've had two "competition" blue belts come to my school from a very well known school in California. The both left almost in tears because they were tapping from pressure. Everyone was actually being pretty nice to them but they had never experienced that before because its apparently no longer taught. This is a base level skill that any blue belt should be able to deal with. In my school blue belts don't get to tap from pressure. I've been training for over 23 years and its incredibly refreshing to see you teach this.
I don’t know how I missed this video. One of the best I’ve seen in a while. Thanks !
Thank you!
This Is literally the exact kind of instructor I'd want to come train with. Too bad I'm so far away
Where can I watch more of your fights?
This happened on Thursday, 30th November 2023. I just got out of the rolling session. Left it half way I was really frustrated and angry with myself I have given close to a year to BJJ and a junior who started a couple of days after me got me like I am nothing. I am not angry on that guy. But I am ashamed of myself. I didn’t go back to the gym after this incident, I am feeling what they will think about me. I myself now can’t face myself in the mirror. I am feeling low, bad of myself and I feeling like a quitter. What shall I do ?
Friend you are probably not very good and I get the shame I'm a white belt who is honestly horrible but whats more shameful being the guy who quit after a year and staying horrible at the sport or the guy who stays and becomes amazing its your choice I can't make it for you.
@@WorldPOV-ce8ck I honestly don’t understand what to do?
@@AnandSingh-nr4ro Just keep going pussy. You'll eventually get better!
@@AnandSingh-nr4rojust go back and train, assuming you still want to get better. No one at the gym will give a shit about it as long as you don't act like a dick.
Some guys are more athletic and understand balance, weight distribution and are athletic, within one class they can pass guards and tap blue belts etc. i tapped blue belts within 3 months. However.. this doesn’t mean I am better than they are, I just done other stuff like judo and played rugby. Smaller, less stronger people will always struggle.. we have all thought about quitting!! My suggestion is keep going on think on where you started from, and where you are. A loss to a beginner means nothing. We all lose. It’s not the Olympic Games, it’s just small time BJJ. In 10 years you’ll be a purple belt at your rate. But by then you’ll have new abilities and be able to help those like yourself. Go back to class and thank me in 10 years
That cheater guy. There is always one or two like that
?
very nice, excatly what I was looking for
That’s a really interesting move to know. I can imagine being able to do this against someone bigger and stronger, with the advantage of surprise. Thanks for explaining that so clearly!
when is your pressure and control instructional coming out?
I should be starting very soon. I spent about 4 hours yesterday writing and Erkan's schedule has finally opened up so we can start shooting
3/4 mount is a far superior position to the typical mount. i love using the 3/4 far more than mount as it gives me a TON more control over the opponents hips and i can easily secure upper body controls and such as i wear out the opponent using minimal effort. i LOVE control positions- things like leg rides which 3/4 or side smash positions essentially are. though they don't score points, i can really secure my controls before advancing position.
I’d like to see it in no gee, side control has always been my hardest to break when going against larger opponents.
lil bro, I'm almost certain this is not a move to consider in No-Gi
So is this more ju jitsu and less Brazilian ju jitsu?
That's how u do it
Awesome. Just great fundamentals!
Be fearfull to "not make the agressor angry." Dont make any Sense. Its a fallacy. And iam a jiu jitsu brasileiro practioner. During years. Grappling its better for escape like you Said. Striking is better for offense. No body want to bem punched in the nose, or elbow in the mount. Even If dont ko.
Escalating a potentially violent situation into an actual violent situation makes more sense to you than trying to de-escalate?
@@roymarshjiujitsu yes, If the body attack just started. The desescalation Works at the early fase. When he grabs you, his next action Will bê a incognt. Unless you are the professor Xavier, and can read his mind. Futher more exactly How did you use the striking parte of Gracie Jiu-jitsu ?
@@JIUJITSUMAN22 It’s quite possible that you missed the main point of Mr. Marsh’s statement, in that for liability purposes, you are always better off de-escalating and avoiding contact with an aggressor, that the opposite could work against you in a civil or criminal suit. In short form: If you can humanely deal with an aggressor and ultimately escape, that should be the ultimate goal, is what I believe he was trying to say. But it sounds like you either missed that or that you’re upset that a skilled practitioner of jujitsu has given you advice that, in your mind, I’m guessing, would make a martial artist a wimp because he took the “easy” way out of dealing with an aggressor? I’m not sure I get your point even though it appears to be obvious.
Awesome 🙌
And if we are the person above, is it advisable to use this technique? I would like to make a video how to use this headlock technique when we are in the clinch and the explanation of what it is for. from a self defense point of view
This is fascinating. The last thing I expected this to end with would be a leg lock. "We are not doing the roll because we are too lazy for that." Awesome comment lol.
I really have to stop being a nice guy...
Would this only work for the arm-in guillotine, or can it be used for the regular (arm out) one as well?
Love your stuff. Keep coming back to this site. Is the "Pressure and Control" video made yet? If so, is it on Patreon?
My son is 11 and he trains NOGI only. Wrestling 5 hours a week, NOGI 2-3 hours a week, 1-2 NOGI privates a week. Since he won't get promoted we are angling him to be world champion white belt by 20. 😀
