It is tough to get a good system. The first idea makes me think of Antonio Inoki seeing an awful pro wrestling match in Japan, walking out and ordering it to be stopped. Maybe we need a Gordon Ramsay-esque promoter to come out and call off any boring match, then berate both competitors for their inactivity. - Ross

If guys are given the chance to do it right but the consequences are too severe to the opponent if they do it wrong, I think it should be banned. Blame the guys who do it wrong for ruining it for everyone else… - Ross

I reckon rather than the specific rules CJI had a better mat space and a better roster of guys to put on exciting matches. Although as we said on the pod the one scoring thing that we both disagree with is delaying the awarding of points. - Ross

That’s an interesting match and I’d like to see William’s awesome top game v Levi’s awesome guard. But for storyline I’d go Andrew v Levi first seeing as they never met at CJI. William v Kade makes sense as Kade beat Andrew. Or could do an Andrew v Kade rematch with Tye v William also on the show. - Ross

Also Kynan V Gordon will never happen IMO. Gordon isn't gonna be healthy enough.

Guess which one of us rates Rog higher???

Thanks

Thanks

Ha!

My thoughts hopefully came through during the video - but, to reaffirm, I think ecological training is part of practice and not the whole. I study coaching and training in professional football / soccer, NFL and other elite sports. They all have coaches giving specific instructions. There are walk-throughs, which is basically low or no resistance drilling. Anyway, there's a far deeper discussion to be had on this, but I applaud your open-mindedness and I like to think that's something I have as well. - Ross

I think those who don't drill, or don't like to drill, use the strawman of saying it's basically like training with a grappling dummy. It could be that, but I don't think it is. - Ross

I think that viewpoint is a positive!

He did really well and we’re excited to see him compete again. It’s nice to have a new name in the mix.

Myself, him and our head BJJ coach Nerijus used to drill all the time when SBG was in the last Gym. He is the forefront of some really good grapplers coming out of there thanks to Nerijus

Thanks

I think most will favour Fellipe to win, but we'll see...

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks a lot

Calum's always on! I've never encountered him not completely locked-in. - Ross

@@JiuJitsuOracle-lz9yf No disrespect intended at all. I just mean that you're always the high energy one and Calum is more of the staunch straight man. To be fair I think that dynamic is part of what makes your content so entertaining to watch.

@@Shaka_Garami Thanks. Glad you like the double act.

Calum had something else to do. He'll be back on the next episode.

Hi. We're going to look at guard in a future META analysis.

Thanks. We're going to do a chat on the guard META next.

Hi. I've been looking at Dima's vids as well. It's definitely an interesting time for wrestling in submission grappling because improvements are being made in that area.

kade was using overhooks/whizzers to counter tackets constant underhooks, his throws uchi mata, harai goshi + mir lock submission attempts he landed multiple uchi mata off tacket driving into him with underhooks.. one point he used double overs counter a bodylock/double underhook which is pretty impressive. Underhooks are generally a slightly favourable position but kades uchi mata is to deadily

I've never watch those, do you recommend it?

I think Levi did incredible and I agree that guard players could begin to become the meta, but I personally believe that at the highest level being on top is always better. Ever since leg-locks were introduced, the bottom player no longer had to play the counter-attacker looking for openings to sweep or reverse. But I still think that the top player has the advantage because its easier for them to engage and disengage, and they can use their body weight against their opponent, which the bottom player has to constantly be fighting against. They essentially dictate when the fight starts and can exit (most of the time) whenever they want.

@@carloscortes1577the first 3 seasons I’d definitely recommend

@@Danieltbntagree with this. I’m a skinny guy but a top player myself. Using guard to be on top when I have to. Just interesting to know what the best passes would be against this new era of guard. Personally I like reverse underhook passing and JRod style knee cuts to chase the back. Would love to know what you or the podcast hosts like to use. Livi is amassing btw, it’s not my style but really appreciate seeing it because I know how hard that would be to do.

Good shout - we'll do a guard passing META. Our next one will look at the guard. The passing instructionals etc Wiltse has out are really good.

I’ve been doing jiu jitsu a few years now, open bounty on me in the gym for foot sweeps. Too much of a specialist move.

We don't wear shoes so any difference isn't really relevant to our sport.

We have him in A-tier.

Hi Dingleberry. We have him in A-tier.

That's a fair list. Hopefully we get matches with all these guys facing each other in the near future. The Big Boy division is really interesting just now. - Ross

You make a good point. But he's high A for us right now along with guys like Levi and Andrew Tackett who are yet to win a big one - IBJJF gi Worlds or ADCC / CJI no gi. - Ross

Out of the thousands, or millions, of grapplers in the world, these guys are all 10s right now. Everyone else would be A-D tier, but it would be too big a list to do on one podcast (or perhaps in one lifetime) and the unproven tier in particular would be absolutely massive. - Ross

@@JiuJitsuOracle-lz9yf Well if you put it that way then yes, every single ADCC / CJI competitor is "S" tier compared to all the grapplers in the world some of which are 70 year old hobbyists, or your average competitor going to NAGA's every couple of months. You just removed all meaning of your list!! Take this as positive criticism, if you want to make a tier list, and stack everyone in "S" and then put a few in "A" that's not just lazy, but also boring. It literally means everyone is the same to you, in which case why even make a list. To make it exciting try reserving S-Tier for only one or two people.

We did reserve S-tier for the elite. That's the point. There's 11 of them. There's loads that didn't make it, across lots of divisions, in both the male and female categories. If you want to put 2 people in S-tier, fine. We chose 11.

Good points. Guys like Andrew, Dante and Levi are on the cusp, we're just waiting for them to win a big one like IBJJF Worlds in the gi or IBJJF / CJI. - Ross

Merci pour votre commentaire. Apologies if my high school French isn't S tier... - Ross

Not just Kade, but not a single person in the whole tournament. He’s starting to look like 2019 Levi again

He's really high A for us, along with guys like Dante and Andrew Tackett. We're just waiting for them to win a big one like ADCC/CJI or IBJJF gi Worlds.

S tier for sure
