It's amazing the level that you guys got to in such short period of time. It would be awesome if you could make a video elaborating on the way you practice on and off the mat. As someone who did bjj for a few months and feels like he knows basically nothing, it would be great a help.
I think age has a lot to do with it. I think kids who get into around 19-21 accel faster than any other demographic. They're physically built enough to be formidable, and their brains are malleable enough to still learn quickly.
Like the above commenter said, young athletic dudes learn pretty quick, especially if they’re putting in crazy hours and watching videos in their spare time. Also he had some experience from rolling in a jiu Jitsu club so he wasn’t starting with 0 Jitsu experience.
@@Cornbreadddd For sure it has to do with it.. but still, I'm sure that their learning method is very systematic in order to get to this level so quickly. I can testify as a 24 year old in a great shape, that the bjj gyms I've been to did not provide any systematic method or enough guidance for beginners to in order to advance quickly or even be good in 1 aspect of the game (pin escapes, maintaining guard etc..). One class we learn arm bar and the next we learn way more advanced moves that no chance I can use while rolling. So given that the gyms around me are not as good as 10th planet (and not even close), I'm tying to figure out how could I get better quickly and effectively on my own.
It's amazing what kind of friendship you two have. A lot of people in this world walk in life without having a friend like you. One of a kind. Kudos to you for training him and congrats to Nick
Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand! Believe and ask for forgiveness of your sins! Christ died on the Cross for our SINS and rose from the dead 3 days later by being resurrected by God the Father, Repent and be saved by Christ! Be led by the Holy Spirit! Ask God to fill and guide you with the Holy spirit! Christ died in for our sins! Believe that He died on the cross for our sins and resurrected from the tomb 3 days later, He is the Son of God and Messiah, the only way to God, the only path. He is the way, the truth and the life, nobody comes unto the Father except through Him! Christ will wash away your sins and make you clean as snow! Believe and Repent!
Such a great trainer/coach. This is also a testament to how badly most bjj gyms are being run if someone can become champion with a great strat and just 30 days of focused training and coaching.
It depends on your definition of being run bad... I had a really good Pedro Sauer black belt teaching us.. yet he can't keep a school open to save his life, and most of his guys lose in tournaments, because he doesn't support tournaments.
Not necessarily. Focusing on one strategy to win a white belt tournament, including cutting weight is cool….but not every gym really cares about winning white belt tournaments. It’s like winning the battle but not the war. You can be taught a strong all round game without the nonsense of cutting weight etc and not win tournaments early on in your training but become a really strong competitor later on. Not sure anyone really remembers who wins the white belt tournaments lol

I literally trained 8 newbies for an hour for four Saturdays (4 hours of training). 8 got gold and with 1 getting silver and 1 bronze. At the beginner level it's all about what you teach.
Absolutely fantastic from both of you. Nick, what a student and athlete. Obviously a bright and gifted kid, helped by a tremendous teacher. Great work, very inspirational.
People can honestly accomplish a lot in any topic in thirty days, But what is most important with short term goal goals, is time efficiency and a good strict schedule. Not a single day can be wasted, and everything needs to be properly pre planned.
Impressive! Very smart strategy. This shows how focusing intensely on a few principles is a stronger starting point, than trying to master the whole game from the beginning.
Listening to coaches is the only real consistent path to being a champion, in almost anything. Innovation and listening/following real game plan. The two cornerstones.
It's definitely possible to get pretty good at a martial art in a month if you do exactly what Nick did in the video. Non-stop practice, reflection, off mat work, and coming in with a basic understanding of BJJ definitely helps

@@montanaroathletics4480 I was listening to a podcast with John Danaher and somebody said that in higher levels of competition, its very rare to tap out someone with a straight ankle because competitors are used to this pain. This is one of my first tournaments competing in BJJ and I didn't want to tap to something that I heard wasn't dangerous.

Nick was already a grappler, so the only thing to do with him was conditioning and flo-grappling. And learned the best thing to do when in combat, DO NOT PANIC! I hope Nick takes up Catch more wrestling as well.
Wish I could be trained by you. I'm a green belt judoka and haven't been on the mat for years. I love me waza and that has made me wanna have good basics from bjj but I always find it handy and no idea how to start. Great job bro.

This feels like a video game with abilities, where you only upgraded kick, and left every other upgrade untouched, where you can just spam and win every fight.
Are you a Gordon/DDS fan? See a lot of similarities, I personally use a butterfly/slx game. I’m a new blue belt and have been diving deep into leg locks. Funny enough 411 has served as great place to pass from.

It was super smart to focus a game plan and is way better. I hated in the beginning when so many classes felt almost entirely detached from the last class, and the one before that, and this place only had class twice a week. Way easier to understand when things are focused and tailored to what you seem to be understanding. I also think though that this would have been much harder in a gi tournament. So if you've been doing bjj for 30 days in gi and still get caught in a bow and arrow and don't know what happened, its ok.
Nice work. One on one training with a great couch who knows how to put his thoughts to words really well. Making it easier to understand helps an unbelievable amount. I brang a yellow belt to a red belt level in only a month. And only seeing eachouther in class. I made myself a great training partner. Hard to find a partner that doesn't give up when losing over and over again.
Amazing how someone can get so good in such a short time with just the right trainer and the right mindset, respect👍
Sun Tzu said that he could make soldier out of anyone. More of a testament to the trainer.
... And years of experience
Would've been a awkward tournament if he got opponents that had trained only their guard too xd
The guy clearly has years of grappling. He looks like at a minimum a very good blue belt by the end, and a rusty one in the beginning.
This isn’t a person with zero experience; the premise is deceiving.

And of course natural athletic ability and being in decent shape helps a lot st that level too.
What did you emphasize if you don’t mind asking?
@@Will_Reyes4 quick take downs and basic submissions.
I was kinda hoping you'd say "slams and heel hooks"
@@TehCube lol. Most tournaments don't allow slams and most leave heel hooks and legs submissions to the intermediate and advanced belts.

Getting back into BJJ for the first time in a couple years and this is super impressive! Really like the editing style too!

Very cool - thanks for documenting
I know nothing about BJJ but for some reason I was super into it ! Good video man 👍🏽
All due respect, he definitely had some background and had a few years of on-n-off training in some sort of grappling arts. Good on him tho regardless
Nick literally sweeping the competition
Your a great friend👍👍
This editing and visual teaching is truly superb
i could watch these all day--once again,GREAT JOB!!!!!!
Nice video, well put together. great work on the training and comp too.
Most amazing part of this is that you guys are even out of high school. If you would have told me you were a freshman I would’ve believed it
I loved this vid, riveting stuff. Great coaching, I’m happy Nick took gold.
So dope a month of training did him well I'd love to see what a full year would do for nick
Congratulations, Nick!

I’m watching this before my third class 😏
Well technically 4th but that first lesson was 5 years ago haha
That was great! Great video!

Splendid…great job nick
Nice gameplan, goodjob Nick!
I watch your videos before rolling in my class..and let me tell you I learned a lot thank you.
This is wild! Nice job Nick and Josh!

Great vid. And it’s amazing how good he got a short amount of time.
Awsome! Well done guys🤙
My first major tourney I got 3 ankle locks from single leg x so I agree with your analysis of beginner tourneys
I’ve run through beginner with ankle locks. I have like 10 subs and 8 of them are ankle locks haha
