Royce Gracie Advanced Jiu Jitsu Gi Armbar and Choke Drills
Rorion Gracie opens this advanced gi series with a direct message: if the basics and intermediate moves aren't second nature yet, stop. Come back when they are. Then Royce Gracie steps in and the instruction begins, starting with fast armbar setups from standing, sit-down entries, collar grips, and leg hooks that snap shut before the opponent knows what hit them.
The techniques stack up quickly. Rorion and Royce work through collar chokes from the guard, hip throw counters, knee-on-stomach transitions, and foot lock setups. Each one is broken down step by step, then run again at full speed so you can see what it actually looks like when everything connects.
Then the format shifts. Rorion calls it a chess game. He mounts Royce and both of them narrate out loud, in real time, exactly what they're thinking, what they're planning, and what they're countering. Every grip change, every weight shift, every fake. It's one of the clearest looks at live BJJ decision-making you'll find.
Can you follow Royce's thinking fast enough to absorb what's happening?
