VIDEO DESCRIPTION
A lazy night of narrated no-gi sparring.

[פוינטמחשבים]

I'm a 44 year old brown belt, drawing a lot of inspiration from your BJJ way
Trying to embrace as many tips as possible, big oss

[TheAlbiet]

Professor, you are a true ambassador of Jiujitsu and of men in general. I feel honored that you grace us with your videos.

[steveco.]

The narration of the techniques during video editing instead of during rolling is terrific.

[jagermeisterjager]

This is great to watch! I’m a white belt so I look forward to the days where I really develop some skill where I can cruise through rolls some days. Still at that “fight for my life” point lol

[tomanderson]

I love these narrated rolls. I learn so much. Thanks Rick

[Jknudsen]

Could watch these all day. Great footage and narration.

[rgrapplerinoc]

Excellent rolls with good narration and explanations. Keep up the Great work.

[rozycool]

these are making me very happy. One, one of the "old guys" at the gym has included me before "us old guys" (I'm a 28 year old female with an old soul). He's also one of my absolute favorite people to work with or around because he gives me an opportunity to work, like you mentioned. Also, loved seeing you work with a female and also giving me an idea of how I could use some of my own flexibility as part of my game in the future.

[rataluckens]

awesome Rick
50 yr old white belt 6 months into my bjj career started with my 16yr old both super stoked on it and I'm really happy to see that I could possibly keep rolling for a bit longer being careful with injuries. amazed at yr 8 rounds!! 👊

[duckyfrogdogkim]

this is exactly what i wanted to see and hear from you. thank you for this gift.

[Roll_Vids]

Excellent rolling. It is great to see you letting your students move, but at the same time, reminding them of the weaknesses in their game. Keep it up!

[edwinberroa]

Professor. These narrated rolls are awesome !!! A lot of info and jewels to take away. Anyway to do a video on building a BJJ game plan and thoughts for sequences for attacks ?

[BigChill]

Fantastic roll and narration. You give an insight to what your doing and looking for an what they are doing and trying to accomplish.
I see what to look out for and to prevent in my game.

[Polarzbek]

Always find these very enlightening! There's so much to learn! Thanks Rick

[GeneralSzadek]

I just discovered you after a very rough and a bit humiliating time in my Jiu Jitsu class. I was starting to questioning myself and how I train or in general approach my life, my job, my hobbies. And I have to say.... I just watched two videos of you and suddenly understand what the solution to everything is that was heavily residing on my shoulders. For the people who are curious...I watched "How to get better at BJJ faster" and this one. Many many thanks to you! Greetings from Germany

[OlivierTravers]

11:06 just as you were about to say it, you can see that guy has had wrestling exposure by the way he uses a C grip from the outside to grab your wrist.

[craigedwards]

Loving these! Us old guys have to mix and match things. Great concepts to play with next time at the gym!

[martialartsvocationalschoo]

Grip tap saved my fingers. And sanity. Tapeing my fingers three times a week was driving me insane. I love the type of rolls you show here. I usually only can have these with older purple belts up or some ladies. A lot of white belts just see my blue belt and try to get a tap...

[kadenweidner]

Please more narrated videos of rolling sessions. I soaked in information like a sponge, feeling improvement already!!

[matthewcrawford]

Loving this series, not just as 45 year old but the idea of reducing energy output with smaller/newer partners.

Going slower with less force allows opportunities to work on techniques. I like to try the new techniques with the greener guys who aren’t so dangerous. Oftentimes the jacked white belts put me in a very cautious defensive position. You never know what they are going to do.
