I work on armbars, triangles, anaconda chokes, guillotines and rear-naked chokes. Basic, simple stuff. I just wanna go there and win the fight, I don't wanna invent too much and try doing fancy things.
I do a lot of crazy stuff. People that have watched me know my grappling game is of the regular map that you'd see in a jiu-jitsu class.
Really, the way to learn jiu-jitsu is to do it. If you do jiu-jitsu you get it and you learn it.
My jiu-jitsu is very simple and basic.
Nobody has seen my jiu-jitsu, but I have really good jiu-jitsu. I submit black belts.
When I grappled, I never even trained for a grappling match.
I was writing a scene where a guy was choking another guy to death. You can go online and type 'chokeholds' and watch scenes where martial artists choke each other out. You can hear what noises they make when they go unconscious, see how their bodies flop and everything. YouTube is amazing for the more detailed stuff.
I have a great jiu-jitsu game and I'm awesome at submissions.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a beautiful thing.
My style of fighting is to go down and trying to finish the guy and trying to end fights, not laying up because I'm winning the fight, just keep going after it.
I'm a catch wrestler, so I used catch wrestling in Mixed Martial Arts.
I've done jiujitsu a huge chunk of my life, and I try to spend a lot of time educating people on the nuances, the subtleness of the ground game. It's a big part of mixed martial arts.
The armlock is an armlock, a choke is a choke. How you set it up - is different. Everybody have their personal style.
I have a Gracie background and a Matt Serra background so I've always used jiu-jitsu but it takes a while to reach black belt level.
How do you fight when you're trying to pull somebody's arms off or twist their head off? That makes for a different kind of fight.
There are lots of jiu-jitsu fighters who finish fights and have good MMA jiu-jitsu, but I think I've applied techniques which I can teach other people.
My jiu-jitsu style is not a beautiful style. I have very simple submissions. It works, but it's not like Demian Maia or Nick Diaz's very exciting style.
Mixed Martial Arts is wonderful to watch, it is very practical but dangerous at the same time. You have to be very careful when doing something like that.
