Demian MaiaFiled Under: Instruction, Uncategorized
One guy I’ve been watching recently is Demian Maia. He’s an A+ grappler and has started to come into MMA. Personally, I like the guy from what I know of him. He’s got some videos out called “The Science of Jujitsu” which are very good, each taking the time to be technical about important minor stuff. Aside from the usual homo-erotic subtleties (remember, it’s not gay if you don’t make eye contact) it’s actually really good stuff. Admittedly, if you’re not into jujitsu, it might not excite you.
Anyway, here’s a highlight video I think you’ll enjoy. It’s always nice to see how pros get the job done.
Watch how Maia and other high class jujitsu players use their hips. Lateral hip movement is key in jujitsu. Also, you need to use your hips to control your opponent, as Maia explains in this vid about back control.
