All of my California jiu-Jitsu people can relate to this feeling. SoCal to NorCal drive. #I5 #bjjproblems #jitsproblems #arewethereyet

Marcelo Garcia Rolling with Marcos “Yemaso” Torregrosa

By Ruben Avila  · September 14, 2013  · @RubenEAvila

Marcos provides, an in depth analysis and breakdown of a roll between two great black belt competitors at the request of some fans via social media.

My instructor, Marcos, asked me to help him narrate this video since he had some requests the last time he posted a video of himself rolling with Marcelo Garcia. I helped him and this was the result. There is a lot of value in this for you all, but it was so cool helping him create this and watching him break the roll down in his mind and share interesting tid bits about training with Marcelo. Cool stuff indeed! For those of you working up to your black belt, I highly suggest you watch this. As a purple belt, myself, I found this very helpful and will be working some of this against training partners who like the X-Guard game.

The Jiu-Jitsu Weekend Roundup

By Ruben Avila  · September 2, 2013  · @RubenEAvila

Hello Fellow Jits peeps.  This week was a little slow on the written content, and while there was a lot of random techniques posted.  As far as this week goes, this is what I believe you shouldn’t miss.  So, take a moment this Labor Day to get your daily dose of Jiu-Jitsu.  I suggest you drink some tea or coffee (iced if necessary) for maximum enjoyment.

For the previous weeks round ups, check out the links below (the first roundup explains the entire premise for these posts).
