I found myself vacillating between thinking, "I can't believe Renzo is bothering to show us a basic hip throw!" and "Hey that’s a great move." Too many of the moves on this tape set are old news retreads.
Anyone who doubts this, I challenge you to watch Renzo 1 and then watch Renzo 2 and tell me that you don’t see a radical difference in the way the moves are taught and performed.
Renzo also does some knee on chest stuff on this tape, most of which is on other tape sets.

For a start surely its elementary that Renzo and Royler could have worn different colour Gi's, as it can be hard to see the detail amidst a sea of white clad limbs.
Yea, i see your point, but if you notice...one is wearing a gi with a gracie logo on it's back and the other isn't (a little detail if nothing else).
Royler Gracie passes the guard like this all the time against people that certainly know to apply the triangle and they never seem to get him....so I guess you just have to do it right.
