As the title says....Have you heard of Marcelo?....Some people haven't, and that's a huge shocker to me..This guy's level of Jiu Jitsu is incredible!

He has what most people refer to as the Marcelo Guillotine (Which is just a guillotine, but Marcelo's variation is in a way where you'll get the tap WAY quicker than your standard Guillotine), and INSANE back control.

A sweep from Butterfly Guard, and how he does his guillotine

The Elbow goes on the shoulder to prevent your opponent from passing, and combine with the leg on the back, gives it devastating leverage to squeeze to get the tap. Its pretty much your standard Guillotine on steroids.

Than an example of his insane back control against Renzo Gracie (Credit to Renzo for not getting tapped)

I mean I first saw him through these videos, it just blew my mind, because I was a fan of most of these guys he tapped so easily

(And my favorite for those who don't quite like Eddie Bravo)
Marcelo sparring with Eddie Bravo I think they went easy on each other, but they are pretty great friends.

I know I just posted a bunch of random videos of one person, but you could learn a lot just from watching high level people like him, by paying attention to the technique you know? I hope you guys learn a bit from this other wise I just wasted loads of your time, and if I did I apologize in advance lol.

...Oh yeah...In case I did sort of waste your time. Than here's a link to his website's training videos, a huge chunk of them are free, so have at your goodies guys. =P

Haha, its amazing someone can be that skilled, and so ego free if you saw the vid on him Rolling with Eddie.

After I saw him, I started trying to improve my north south, and guillotine, the Marcelo way. (Huge fan of Aoki too btw, I'm a user of the Japanese necktie, and I love that Aoki does the Gogo, from the mount, and has a rubber guard game after Eddie taught in Japan)
