Georges St-Pierre Breaks Down MMA Scenes From Movies | GQ Sports

that particular sequence happened to me in in in one of my fight against dan ardy the guy went for an ambar and his opponent was able to escape and came back on top so what we've seen it was pretty real hi gq i'm georges saint-pierre and this is the breakdown [Music] first stop warrior really nice colin strong's life and not backing down the goal in brazilian jiu-jitsu is to control our opponent without hurting him however what is good about it if or or opponent refused to comply while we have control over him we can we have the the power to hurt him really bad we can hurt him in brazil jitsu with a submission all like breaking a limb or strangulation as well so he can pass out and so it's a very soft martial art but it could be also very violent and the the jujitsu means the art of softness a little bit like bruce lee used to say like be like water my friend like go with the flow and that's the mentality of jiu jitsu [Applause] you hear the corner screaming shoot shoot when they say shoot they they mean it it's a move when you have uh the fighter going low attacking the leg of his opponent to throw him down this is called a double leg takedown this is a technique that is mostly used in wrestling it's actually one of my favorite techniques that i use a lot during my career the idea is if you want to bring your opponent down it's a little bit like you when you want to bring a tree down you cut it from the bottom and it fall down it's same thing so when you want to bring your opponent down you attack the bottom part of his body you attack the leg because you need the leg to stand up so you attack the legs and it's it's easy to make him fall down is going for a submission that we call the kimura the kimura is it's a lock that is made to to break the rotator cuff of a person if the person don't tap obviously [Applause] turn your hips in the reason why is corner is screaming at him use your hips it's because they want him to use all his body not only his arm to to to execute the camera because all the power of of the the body come from the hips you don't want to only use your arm you want to use your entire body to create the the pressure it's actually a great advice hips up turn your hands in turn your hands in in an actual mma fight your coach or the coach are allowed to scream advice so you hear your coach and you also hear your opponents coach so you know what kind of advice your opponent is receiving as well and the advantage for me is that i speak french and when i compete in ufc i speak a little bit of portuguese and spanish as well so i could i was always able to understand the advice of the my opponent coaches but they were not able to understand the advice that i was that was given to me so it wasn't an advantage for me now we see that he's holding the the lock for a very long time normally that will not happen if it's well executed it takes about maybe a second for the person to tap otherwise it will have his arm broken but of course for i guess for the purpose of the movie they stretch it out a little bit the key to apply a submission hold is to isolate the limb of your opponent so your opponent is immobilized and he cannot move and you have full control over his limb if the technique is well executed you will be able to break somebody's limb however it already happened to me in a fight that i had someone in a kimura but i was not able to immobilize and pin my opponent well so the position was loose he was able to move in a way that he was taking more uh more range of motion but in the position that we've seen now it's very well executed actually the choreography is is perfect so it would be impossible for his opponent to try to get out normally in fighting and mixed martial art there is a non-written rule in between the fighter that if they get an ambar they will normally leave a split second to their opponent to tap they will not immediately try to break it on the spot i mean not everybody respect that rule but i do because we're all competitor and we just want to win we don't want our opponent to get an injury that can leave him out of competition for more than maybe more than a year or sometime let's skip ahead until later in the movie [Music] so now we have our hero is on the bottom in a position called the guard in mixed martial art it doesn't mean if you're on the bottom that you're losing the fight sometimes yes you can lose the fight because if you're in the guard that's mean you have your legs wrapped around your opponent your opponent on top have the gravity to his to his advantage we can land strike however from the bottom in that position you have the possibility of of of doing many submission old and that's what we're about to see now he went to a jujigatami from the bottom then he switched to what we call an omoplata and he used the homoplata to uh get back on on top position oh my god that's a deep reply there he's got the seat belt [Applause] when they say the seat belt it means to wrap his arm around his opponent's waist in order to immobilize him to pin him better so when he apply pressure his opponent cannot go with the pressure and have a bigger range of motion you want to uh make sure you pin the body before you apply a submission hold his opponent refused to tap so he broke his broke his shoulder normally in a fight when a limb break the referee will stop the fight for the safety of the fighter so the other guy will normally be declared the winner but that's his fault unfortunately that's the the hard truth of combat sport ladies and gentlemen [Applause] if you keep fighting after the bell ring or after the referee stop the fight you will normally be automatically disqualified you won't be disqualified if you dislocate someone's shoulder if your opponent refused to tap because that's his fault you know my last fight had a guy in a strangle old and you refused to tap so what happened is he passed out and the referee stopped the fight and and i win the fight but if he would have tapped and i would have keep the lock on and made him passed out now i would probably have my victory taken away from me and be banned on top of it with many uh other kinds of problems i don't think there is any movie especially in combat sport that are a hundred percent accurate they always need to make it more spectacular and more flamboyant so but it's actually a good movie i've watched it many times and i'm a big fan of tom rd and yeah it's a great movie pretty accurate next up john wick chapter two i am a huge fan of canary and i think kenny riven is fantastic in his movie and i don't know him personally but i'm sure he does mix martial art or jiu jitsu because when i see him doing the move it indicates me that he has experience in it it's not everybody that can perform those moves what happened there it's called a flying jujigatami it's a flying on bar it's a very spectacular move with this move the guy voluntarily threw himself in the air and fall on the bottom by positioning himself with the ambar if it's well executed it's a technique that you can break your opponent's arm and umbar there's different kinds of ambar is when you use your entire body like a leverage and you put pressure on a joint it immobilizes your body so you cannot move and with your hand you apply a pressure that goes beyond the range of motion that you can go however to do it in the concrete it's a very risky move because when you do this if you miss you your head will hit the floor and you can knock yourself out but it's it's actually a real move and some guys have actually performed this in in an actual competition [Music] in movies like john wicks often we see guys fighting each other to the death but they have a gun they should they should simply use their gun before using all this uh fighting stuff there's two components in fighting there's the striking component and the grappling component grappling is more synonymous of wrestling brazilian jiu jitsu it's a form of martial art that starts standing up but it's specialized and control in the way you control your opponent it's either by pinning him using a arm bars leg locks submission holds or strangulation as well you can control him or you can also hurt him very bad if you want to it's a beautiful choreography it's a it's very spectacular it's fun to watch and what i like about martial arts is it's a very global thing you can be in competition in terms of fighting in terms of philosophy but also in terms of choreography and that that was a very beautiful artistic piece of choreography i really loved it i love john wick john wick's movies it's amazing next up flashpoint this is a troll so he blocked a kick and he sweep the leg and throw his opponent to the floor that that's an actual takedown but then after he went he went on what we call side control he's in side control that's mean he's in like a crucifix on top of his opponent and he tried to knee his opponent and the head but his opponent block with his arm and by blocking that helped him set up a jujigatami which is a number that particular sequence it was something that that really resembled what happened during one of my fight against dan hardy the guy went for an umber and his opponent was able to escape and came back on top so what we seen it was pretty it was pretty real the way you escaped it's it's roughly the way you would escape a number there's many ways of escaping a number and there's many ways of doing an um a number a triangle is a submission all that you you strangle someone but the problem is the angle which you get your legs wrapped around the head and the arm sometimes that that let your opponent breathe a little bit more but when it's well executed it takes about three to five seconds for your opponent to pass out and his opponent lift him up and uh it's one of the way you can escape you lift the opponent up and slam him on the floor hoping that he hit his head on the concrete or on the canvas and he knocked himself out but what happened is he basically threw him off board and fall on the ground with him this is so far the most realistic movie we've done today so far i love him he's a he's a true martial artist you see sometimes some movie that where guys don't have any experience in martial art but now you see the guy is a professional you can see the way he moves he's a real real martial artist he's been doing this for a very long time next up red belt take him to court taking him to court good got him down fight's over that's it fight's over finish it here it's over when i train in brazilian jiu jitsu i train hard but i train smart and in a safe environment it's a sport that can be very dangerous if it's not well done in training we do not hit each other with no gloves like be because we would hurt each other if we hurt each other maybe we perhaps we cannot compete and make money so when you're uh you're training if you allowed strike you have gloves and to protect yourself you have a helmet when you train in wrestling you don't really hit on the same time and if you do hit in the same time you have gloves so now we see that they train but they train with no protection so it would be very risky to do that i don't say that it's never been done but most professional uh guys they they don't do it that way so you have to train hard it's true because the fight it could be hard but train smart it's much more important good good hit okay breathe breathe so when you get caught in a in a submission hold you need to respect your limit put your ego outside of the dojo and be ready to tap and if you're not ready to do that you you might get hurt and you will not have a long career in in this your journey will be very short you know the escape breathe is always an escape passing out all right in martial art especially in brazilian jiu jitsu before becoming an expert becoming a good you need to learn how to lose it is impossible to be good right away in the beginning because you need to acquire the knowledge first so there is nobody that show up in in the in in class and are good are the best right right off the bat it doesn't work like that you can have you can have certain aptitude that will make you better than others but you have to grow to go through that grinding process so you tap when you get caught and you know that your limb is about to break so you have to accept defeated in order to improve gain knowledge and get better you know the escape you know the escape show it to me show it to me show me the escape yeah there is always an escape when you get caught in a certain situation no matter how bad it is uh however it's like a funnel the the deeper you get yourself locked in that particular submission the harder it is to escape it's like when you're drowning if you drown a lot it's harder for you to to come back on top the same thing in in in submission so if you get cut in the number and it's in the beginning of the setup of the umber it's easier to make the escape than if you would wait until the end and your your limb is completely extended which is almost impossible because it's too late so it's always possible to escape any situation but you have to do it in the beginning before you get yourself completely jammed in so to speak thank you very much for watching these clips these are all movie that really influence me and inspire me in my career as a mixed martial artist i hope you guys enjoyed

I love GSP. Talking about breaking somebody's shoulder with that big smile almost makes me want to get omoplata-ed
