Saulo or Marcello

[crashingcraig15]

I cant decide between Saulos freestyle revolution or Marcello Garcia 3. I have heard great things about both of them but i was wondering which one you guys think is better.

 

[krellik]

Start with Saulo, unless you are a huuuge marcello fan that want to mimick marcellos game to the point you will get more out of saulos tapes.


Marcellos is great though.

 

[GuardGame]

I heard Saulo's is the best...

 

[Foolkiller]

I consider Marcello's efforts to be the main course and sets like Telles and Marcellos to be good desserts. You want something you can really sink your teeth into and enjoy so you can look forward to having something sweet once you are already satisfied with what you've consumed already. I like food metaphors.

Freestyle revolution is a great series. Don't expect a submission library his sub tape is mainly focused on ways to guilotine somone from various spots. You will get a ton of great sweeps, escapes and other positional type stuff. Plus he has a good way of presenting it.

Man, now that he joined Chute Boxe their JJ game is gonna be sicker than it is already.

Allegedly next spring/summer in a Brazilian MMA event I can't name because I promised not to.

I heard that the Mario Sperry set is pretty good. How does this one rate in regards to Saulo's?

BTW I also heard that Saulo's is the best.

Mario is old school. Saulo is new school. Both are good and have their merits, but the Saulo set is arguably more developed and explanatory for the basics.

 

[Commissar]

I'd go with Saulo's. Sperry's is great, but it's old school (as was already mentioned), and Marcelo's teaches some great moves, but I believe you should understand the basics very well before leaping into Marcelo's moves.

 

[Gsoares2***]

Get saulo's tape for the good solid stuff. Marcelos game is good.. but without some basic understandings it will just lead to lost positions.

Then again it is just a Instructional.. it isnt going to do much to your game anyways.. w/out some serious effort from you.

Did you mean for Saulo's DVDs to be the main course? Anyways, Saulo is fighting Nate Quarry in December I believe. Source is the newest Gracie mag.

 

[Soid]

Saulo's freestyle revolution is ok. I would go with Marcelo's tapes.

 

[Nova Uniao]

Saulo

I have both sets and I'd have to agree to go with Saulo's first if your new the game. It covers real good basic positioning and sweeps. Its a little light on subs but I think a lot of people start out backwards. You can't set up a sub until you understand how to get into and maintian the position first. Saulo's does a better job in my opinion of teaching the fundamentals first.

But both sets are excellent.

I've got a Sperry set also and this is gonna sound real trivial but it gets on my nerves. I have the dvd set and there are no chapter markers. Its like the just converted the the VHS copy to a dvd and shipped it. I like be able to jump to a specific section and watch it couple of times to try and really take it in before heading off the train sometimes and I can't do that with the Sperry set. You have to fast forward through the entire thing and scan to find somthing.
