RE:@ Rastajohnny2: Hey bro trust me you didnt get smashed by Marcelo. Smashed is what he did when he rolled with me LOL, he tapped me like every second. I felt like I was tapping more than I was moving. At the end of the day just realize you are rolling with the best in world, and it puts everything in perspective. Rolling with Marcelo is the equivalent of playing basketball with Michael Jordan, there is no doubt your gonna get done, so your might as well enjoy the game :)

hey guys, i'm the guy getting smashed in this particular video,,, as mentioned at the crucifix position Marcello had not begun to apply choking pressure at the point where i tapped. He would have been able to choke me with one arm or he could have extended his hip and arm barred me, I tapped because I knew that a few seconds on from there I wouldn't have had any hands to tap as he had my other wrist trapped too.$0$0$0Amazing to roll with, I recommend anyone who can get there to beg steal or borrow to do it. Marcello is an amazing guy, humble, and gifted, I feel honored to have been able to take this beating,,, ha ha. (black belt from Australia, even though you wouldn't know it!) Also has some great guys in his club... VISIT IF YOU CAN!$0$0

Re: JMONEY @ 2:35 into the roll its called a Crucifix choke, because his hands are trapped (like being strapped to a cross) and he can't defend his neck, he is opened up to the choke. Notice that once the arm is trapped Marcelo gets his choking arm in so deep that his elbow is under the guys chin, and once the choke is in Marcelo stretches back slightly tightening the choke and potenialy dislocating the arm. If you look through the database for Cruxifix choke you can find a step by step instructional on how to do it.

At 2:35, is that a choke or armbar? If it's a choke, how is Marcelo applying pressure?
