"Jiujitsu is simple, you just gotta do it right" - Roger Gracie

Yesterday's match between the two GOATs in the gi was one for the ages! Roger made it look easy and it just goes to show I have a long way to go before I'm "doing it right"! What did you think?

Thanks for reading. Keep training, and keep up the good fight!DQmfQQfJb3ELZK9RxZkJ9KYQGf8AGvxB6R1wa68A4HoA9eP.gif

You ain't lying! Impressive way to end his competitive career.

I can imagine the wave of emotions for those watching it in person.
It reminded me of the video of the excitement in the crowd at the Royler Gracie Vs Eddie Bravo match at Metamoris.

Old school is still the best school haha. Tried out Roger's guard pull a few times, quite effective.

@feedroh, it is, isn't it! Love how Roger Gracie demonstrated that you can beat a world-class opponent using one of those "BJJ 101" techniques that one learns within the first month or so. Just goes to show the effectiveness of basic moves when honed to perfection and combined with a great understanding of control and position.

Roger's grip strength is amazing -- cannot believe he was able to defend the takedowns and pull guard in such a favorable way.

Man, that sleeve control was everything. Loving that guard pull setup, tried right after I saw the match.

big ballin'! I wrote an article about bjj. you might want to check that out. OSS!
