Team Lloyd Irvin rape cases

I don't know how many people active on here aren't also regular readers of other mma/bjj websites but I figured it would be worth posting this here as it's probably something people in the bjj community should be aware of.

The BJJ Kumite is a crazy blood sport-esque tournament where lloyd irvin has recruited the top brown belts from the world to fight keenan cornelius in gi and no-gi no time limit matches. The action in this video is awesome.

Darragh O"conaill is an underdog in the tournament. I think he posts on these forums and uses a lot of MG techniques so I will be rooting for him. He gets some MG [url=http://www.mginaction.com/Search.aspx?Mode=Search&Category2=BOTH&Level_Fundamental=True&Level_Intermediate=True&Level_Advanced=True&q=%22guillotine%22][b]"guillotines"[/b][/url] in the gi in the first vid.

Why Marcelo Garcia Wins

[h2]Why Marcelo Garcia Wins.[/h2]
Source: [url=http://thebjjmind.com/2012/09/01/why-marcelo-garcia-wins/]thebjjmind.com[/url] on Saturday, September 1, 2012 — [url=http://thebjjmind.com/about/]TheBJJMind.com[/url][hr]
[quote][img]http://bjjmind.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/300px-marcelo_garcia.jpg[/img]

The legendary grappler says it has to do with love.

“Why do I beat a lot of people? Because I love it so much, that’s why. Everything about Jiu Jitsu, I love it – the school, the mat, the ring. I always believe that. Maybe I am not better than my opponent, but I know for sure I love my training more.” –Marcelo Garcia

Love has a warming effect that heightens our senses, and increases our aliveness. It enables us to act and move with greater strength. With it we can increase our chances of winning, be more creative, and most importantly, we can help others.

When we love something we find it pleasing; it imparts a sense of joy and produces happiness from within. This not only gets to the core of our Jiu Jitsu training, but to the real essence of our being.

When an activity has some sort of outside payoff – in Jiu Jitsu it is usually belts, medals, cash, etc — it’s known as an “extrinsic reward.” When there’s no payoff except for the joy or the love of it, it’s known as an “intrinsic reward.”

Experts are now seeing intrinsic reward as the silver bullet of motivation and a principal key to high performance.

This is because humans are motivated by happiness – and the love and joy that originates from inside us will always bring greater happiness than the rewards that come from the outside.

It is normal to feel most effective when we are simply doing what we love. Of course we can’t just be a seeker of joy. We need to work hard to perfect our craft, and we definitely need to be challenged.

However, in order to get the best from ourselves, we should feel that our craft is never actually work.

If we naturally feel this love of Jiu Jitsu, we are lucky. Like the communist-era Sambo players hand wringing their gi jackets – we need to wring as much joy out of our BJJ practice as possible.

Even if you feel the love is not in you, you might need to delude yourself that it is – because it is the people who love their craft the most that also work the hardest.

“I wasn’t a good student, and even now I never say that I am better than anybody, but I know I love Jiu Jitsu more than anybody. I love the energy and that it gets deeper the more you study.” – Marcelo Garcia

[quote]Grapplers, you're just going to have to file this one in the "Should I and/or Do I Really Care?" file. It's a choice you're going to have to make for yourself, after some deep contemplative thought. Do I really care to watch a 3 minute video of Marcelo Garcia, arguably one of the best (if not the best) submission grapplers to ever compete with or without a gi, tooling around with his students at skate park? Does that say something about me as a person? If so, what? When you arrive at the answer, I'm sure it will be profound and you'll be a better person for it.

Now, in the meantime, watch the video and waste a few minutes you won't get back ... ever. Still, we're pretty certain you'll minimally be mildly entertained.

Side note: I'm no expert, but it appears Marcelo is a bit tentative on his skateboard. At the same time, he's showing some basic, staying on the board-type skills. You'd know better than I. I'm just a simple grappler with no skating skills to speak of. [/quote]

[quote]There are few competitors as accomplished as Marcelo Garcia. He is is a competitor that is recognized as much for his accomplishments as he is his particular style. We took a closer look at what makes Marcelo so successful in this weeks episode of “It’s Science”. The video above is a quick overview of the larger study conducted below.

We did a micro-evaluation, similar to what we provide for competitors, that broke down 10 of Marcelo’s matches over the past 8 years. We have only included techniques and information below that WAS recorded. That means that anything that did not occur isn’t featured below (to save us all time).

The trends you see in the numbers are his game. Notice how simple his actual competition game is, and how it all flows together. Obviously, his game is very different than what we saw in the averages from the 2012 World Bjj Study, this is what makes him unique. The goal of every competitor should be to develop a set of techniques that you can practice efficiently and effectively that flow together flawlessly. Marcelo may be the best example of this due to his strict adherence to a specific strategy.

Enjoy the data collected below.

I miss the old Marcelo

BJJKEV — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 17:29:07 GMT

i'm such a massive fan of Marcelo I feel I really need to vent about how dissapionted I was he didn't fight the absolute. Marcelo would have cleaned up in that division. The thing that has always impressed me is how well he does against big guys. Then of late he no longer fights Gi absolute and now No-Gi. Most of his most legendary battles were against the big guys. Come on Marcelo no one cares if you loose we just want to see you take on the big boy again.

ADCC 2011 Results: Is Marcelo Garcia the Greatest of All Time?

Jordan_MGInAction — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:35:07 GMT

[i]This is a guest post by T.P. Grant, part of the Bloody Elbow Grappling Coverage Team.[/i]
[quote]Marcelo Garcia is one of the most popular fighters in the BJJ community. Known as 'Marcelinho', he is a member of the trinity of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, along with Roger Gracie and Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza. This past Sunday Marcelo may have set himself apart by winning his fourth ADCC championship.

An accomplished BJJ middleweight ([b]169 lbs*[/b]), Marcelo is a five-time world champion at the black belt level in Gi Jiu Jitsu. He entered the ADCCs fresh off of wining an IBJJF championship and in the first two rounds Marcelo dispatched Davis Heart and Vitor Estima in less than two minutes combined with his patented guillotine from mount.

In the semi-finals, Marcelo faced the young and hungry up and comer Kron Gracie, son of legend Rickson Gracie. Kron, a black belt since 2009 and still seeking his first World Championship, was trapped in a stacked division with veteran competitors. In his semi-final match with Marcelo, Kron locked on a guillotine choke that appeared very tight. Marcelo admitted he thought about tapping, but resolved to fight until he passed out and managed to escape.

Marcelo won the match on points, but it was the sternest test he had faced in years. In the finals Marcelo faced Leo Vieira - a 2x ADCC champion who once fought an almost 100lbs heavier Mark Kerr to a stand-still. Marcelo quickly defeated Vieira with a triangle from mount. Marcelo finished the two biggest grappling competitions of 2011 not only as the champion, [b]but without a single point being scored against him.[/b]*

With this victory Marcelo Garcia moves into a class of his own as the most decorated ADCC competitor. Roger Gracie's greatness stems from domination with fundamentals, Jacare Souza's from physical brilliance, while Marcelo's stems from technical brilliance. Marcelo's creativity and innovation has lead him to create amazingly effective, deviously simple and detail heavy sweeps.

Marcelo realized as he was progressing towards black belt that at the highest levels of BJJ, submissions from the back had become the exception instead of the rule and focused his guard game on sweeping rather than submitting. Marcelo mastered the butterfly guard and then adapted it to the super technical X-Guard and tinkered with both positions with and without the gi.

Marcelo is still a young man, in his late twenties, and has a long grappling career still ahead of him. While Roger Gracie's accomplishments are well-documented and his ability to pass the guard and submit seemingly anyone will always earn him a spot among the all-time greats, Marcelo Garcia stands alone as the pound-for-pound greatest living grappler. Nine of the most prestigious gold medals in submission grappling hang in Marcelo's closet and the technical innovations make him a once in a generation type talent, akin to Carlos and Helio Gracie the original innovators of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.[/quote]

Marcelo wins both matches!

rkesslerjj — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 13:00:38 GMT

Marcelo cleans the mat in his firs two matches with Guillotine and finishes Victor Estima in like less than 30 sec.. Congrats Marcelo. Now he faces Kron Gracie again in the semi-finals tomorrow then on to the
Championship ;)

Hi Guys, Christian from http://www.bjjglobetrotter.com/ is in NY, you guys have to get him in for a roll. He's training absolutely everywhere and the reception has be excellent! It'd be a damn shame if he couldn't roll with the MG crew. Unfortunately he's on a shoestring budget and the mat fee is an obstacle :(

Can somebody throw him a bone?

Cheers,

Patrick Te Tau
