Lach i love your work but with respect, i think this type of leg framing really didn’t work against Gordon Ryan in your ADCC match.

I personally feel that Gordon Ryan’s dvds are far superior to Danaher’s.

100%. Only after years of grappling did I learn that there were actually concepts to prioritise in BJJ. At white and the initial blue belt stage, I was simply copying moves I learnt without understanding the context in which they should be applied. I started doing a ton of video study over the...

LOL not sure how you managed to connect anything to do with the dvd fiasco with a superfight, but whatever you say buddy.

I dunno about that. it’s easy to learn. I learnt it as a white belt.

Is Hulk stocky? He beat Lovato yesterday(?) with pretty basic passing. Lovato also defended well with very basic defence. Lovato’s MMA grappling is also very basic.

Not gonna reply to the rest of your speculation. Not worth my time. I say this because I’m pretty sure Mo wasn’t defending JT publicly when Gordon was attacking him online. In fact Mo was trying to take as much blame as possible so that it’s seem like it was only his fault, when in fact Gordon...

I think this was such a key part of the agreement (if indeed it was) it’s a little unbelievable how Mo never thought to emphasise it to anyone. He should have been warning them to perform well because anyone in that camp who “wins” at rolls may potentially put your “losing” rounds on the...

I’ve seen that argument raised before and I don’t think it’s a good one. Ignoring Mo’s contract for a second, if I’m appearing in Gordon’s DVD which I know Gordon is profiting from, I should have a cut of the sale proceeds since I’m contributing to it’s creation by being an uke. It’s even...

So... does anyone know of anybody at all who caught covid through BJJ?

I stand corrected Now that I think about it, I don’t understand how Danaher can be considered a better coach than Fabio Gurgel, who produced Marcelo, Terere, Maia, Telles, Vieira Bros etc

Correct me if i’m wrong but Marcelo doesn’t cross grip (straightjacket) the way Danaher teaches it? Not saying that’s a groundbreaking invention but I think we should give Danaher his fair due. The idea of isolating an arm certainly isn’t a DDS original though. Danaher also has never claimed to...

100% this. The way i look at it, it’s a lot easier for a guy who’s passing chest to chest in half guard to make decisions when his opponent has very little space to make big movements. He has all the time in the world to think about his next move so long as the right controls are active...

My 2 cts is that this probably contributed most to your “regression”. I often underestimate how the lack of mental involvement esp over a prolonged period can really kill your abilities. BJJ is such a cerebral sport that requires so much decision making. Not applying your mind consistently to...

Out of curiosity, how much bjj related activity did you participate in when everything was closed? In terms of workouts, instructionals etc

While the article is kinda dumb, I think many many folks have overlooked Shinya Aoki’s MMA game over the past few years. He’s ditched the 10P wannabe tactics and opted for the old school takedown-pass-and-mount. People tend to hype Maia’s tripod passing but IMO Aoki’s right up there as well. One...

The grappling exchanges were pretty great. Maia’s MMA strategy is mostly flawless but I think Burns’ escaped beautifully. Burns is halfway decent at striking these days and it was smarter for him to strike

Personally, i think this whole thing gave the BJJ world a lot of perspective. Life is a lot bigger than BJJ or any other sport/activity/hobby. We get really caught up in this "journey" of ours but truth be told, everyone in the world has his/her own journey and sometimes sacrificing our own for...

Hey... some gyms in Asia are still running classes like nothing’s happening. These are potential ticking time bombs. Do NOT train. Even world champs are off the mats now.

It will go away eventually. SARS, H1N1 and MERS are not threats anymore, and this won’t be - with time. But for now EVERYONE STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE MATS.
