 The Rolles v Marius clip thread - first posted seven years ago in 2018


shirotoratiger.proboards.com/thread/1561/rolles-gracie-first-round-power


My notes from the thread

Rolles is a Gracie family member and a 4th degree Black belt, the same grade as Royce was at when he won the first UFCs

Marius is a World Class strength athlete - for his cage prep he has focussed on Boxing and Kyokushin Karate, so has learnt how to functionalise his strength for combat

The breakdown in slo mo shows the perfect use of distance, timing, feint, jab, trap, and a big OH one punch KO



The First Rule is still, and always will be, LEARN TO HIT FUCKING HARD - even if you are fighting a GRACIE






As we have been working on this for a couple of weeks and will continue this week it becomes relevant


The KENDO One Cut Kill

which becomes the JUDO One Throw Kill


becomes the KARATE One Punch Kill
