My first Online Instructional Course is here! limibjj.mykajabi.com/course I have spent the past few months focused on passing half guard and am happy to announce that I have compiled all of my findings to create my first instructional course! My goal is to give you a clear game plan and training methods to transform your guard passing
ADCC 2022 was so refreshing. I don't have the stats, but it feels like we're back to a meta where Jiujitsu works. I endured a decade worth of ADCCs where, outside of a few exceptional competitors, takedown & stall was the norm. My perspective is that we have Danaher to thank for this. His biggest contribution was introducing gripping sequences into the NoGi game. If you guys remember the 2003-2015 era of ADCC, the majority of the Gi based competitors would always complain about how slippery NoGi and just accepted that getting submissions at that level was unrealistic. Submissions became seen as secondary and something that you'd use opportunistically or against low-tier opponents. The meta evolved into "get 2 takedown points, don't engage in the guard". Only the very top of the food chain guys could beat this strategy and over time, guys like Sperry, Arona, Galvao and others countless adopted that style. Once everyone started playing that game, we started seeing the "aggressive collar-tie, stalemate, make the crowd suffer, win by advantage" meta. Thankfully, we saw the peak of that strategy in Sperry vs Liborio at ADCC 2015. Danaher's emphasis on grip fighting sequences from Butterfly, Leg-Entanglements and the Back, brought the "Jiu-Jitsu" or Submission game back. Gordon's calculated, methodical and submission based approach is considered top-tier and people are emulating him. The strong guys like Kaynan are guard passing and winning definitively rather than stalling and winning by advantage like they did in yesteryear, and yet the scrappy opportunistic guys like the Ruotolos are finding success. It's the healthiest meta yet.
@@LIMIBJJ would love a video about the gripping techniques / meta since it's so a curical part of the game and in my eyes rarely covered in depth... So far I only seen snippets as well from Gordon's Instructionals
Yes. Not much longer until Danaher finishes evolving BJJ into Catch wrestling. First leg locks, and now emphasis on wrestling for takedowns and maintaining top position.
@@kaniran1 Danaher's DVD's put a huge emphasis on 2-on-1 gripping from guard. "He goes to pull away. It's shockingly difficult." I remember on Reddit some people were screeching that Danaher's Back System DVD's were just "$200 for a grip fighting sequence". Eddie Cummings is the best to study for their grip fighting sequences from Butterfly because he was so rigid and single minded with trying to get into the legs.
You sir, are the Gordon Ryan of breaking down techniques. Amazing video and I loved it. The part about how he uses the far side arm drag to set up either sumi gaeshis, inside sankaku or the back take was my favorite. I'm going to try to add this to my game since I love butterfly guard and arm drags too from seated guard. Keep up the great content!
Awesome! I am working on my next video about Choi bars. I think it works very well with that arm drag sequence so keep an eye out for that. Appreciate your support 🙌🏼
@@yourenotwrong3511 I've been training since 2007 but with long periods of off time here and there so I'm still a blue belt but I have my four stripes.
@@yourenotwrong3511 thanks and welcome to the family. I'm glad you are enjoying it. It gets addictive quickly. I know, for me, i got addicted and couldn't sleep when I first started because all I could think about was techniques and wanting to try them all night. That still happens to me sometimes even now. I still have my times when I don't feel like training for whatever reason but overall, I'm still addicted to it and I feel so much better when I am on the mats. I also really enjoy teaching and helping others learn it too.
I keep seeing more of a consistency of backtracking: putting yourself back in half guard (opponent flattened out) and passing again. Not only will it add points, but it’s so freaking exhausting for the bottom guy to resist the pass from there. It’s much easier to win an underhook on a tight opponent by backtracking to half. I was originally taught “Always move forward, never give up a good position you worked so hard for!” But the more I watch your videos and New Wave instructionals, the more I realize the importance of giving a little to take back a lot more. Great breakdown dude, I’ve patiently waited so long for this.
Damn i really love your vids and the fact you've made a database blows my mind and it's on the level of big sports analytics, which even wrestling doesn't have
I recently was at a seminar with Shawn Williams and we went over that Gordon Ryan vs Victor Hugo match. He said that yes the knee wasn't high enough, but also his hip angle was not correct. he was caught on his own leg because of this and wasnt able to pin Hugo's shoulder that was closest to him. If he wanted to correct this he needed to grab hugos close side leg and pull himself back into perpendicular allignment. Hard to do against a beast like Victor, but he might have gotten it if he did.
A quick word on terminology: at our school we use "tactics" to specifically describe the expression of your active intention. When you pass the guard you are not mentally tbinking of every minute movement, you focus on the big stuff. Drilling specific techniques an nauseam will make more and more of the movement subconscious, which allows you to focus on the big pieces and make the right macro tactical decisuons. I think Gordon is super good, but also has drilled more than everyone else so that he can make extremely calculated on the fly decisions because the details were worked out beforehand. Super cool to watch.
I think it is this more "traditional" mindset that Danaher brings to his training methodologies that has resulted in so many high level competitors coming from under his tutelage. It's evidenced by a number of things, such of his use of traditional Japanese terminology, as well as the focus on drilling in combination with live rolling. I think this approach is going to become more widespread as time goes on. It is skill development that makes the best competitors, not just competition.
I think going to what Gordon calls a seated head and arm (sort of a gift wrap with both legs free). That way you can remain on top. This also gives you two unweighted legs to fight their defensive arm and trap it with your legs. This gives you rear triangles or arm trapped rear naked chokes. Hopefully less impressed can shed some more light on what he meant! Great video again
Your Videos are really cool, You break down Jiu-Jitsu really good, You clearly known your Jits and you add in an element of Comedy which I love, I'm really looking forward to your next upload...✌
I believed Gordon would win, but I didn’t think he’d do it the way he did with a submission that took 8 seconds against one guy, pretty easily running through Nicky Rod, and smashing Andre Galvao. I figured Nicky Rod and Galvao would be squirrelly and that they’d have been stalling type of matches.
Some other trends I noticed at this ADCC were Choi Bar entries, De Ashi Harai, countering standing body locks with Uchi Matas, power half when attacking turtle and countering leg entanglements with unconventional leg locks (corkscrew lock, Estima Lock, Aoki Lock). High level stuff and can’t wait for the next breakdown 👍🏻
Just got back from the gym and haven't even watched the video yet but I can already tell this is going to be a great one. I'm going to make some breakfast take a nice seat and really treat myself to some good BJJ content. BTW idk if you know the MMA writer/podcaster Jack Slack, but he shouted out your work on his latest patron exclusive podcast when he discussed adcc.
This kind of thing is exactly what I need. I don't train bjj but love to watch it, becoming a bigger fan every day and I'm sure I'm missing out on appreciating what I'm seeing. You asked us to comment if we're interested in something, well I assure you I will greedily take all the breakdown in as much lengthy, painstaking detail as you're prepared to give. Fascinating stuff.
@@LIMIBJJ UFC. The more I watched the more intrigued I became of this deep and technical area, and the more I wanted to understand the subtleties, skill and tactics. A few RUclips suggestion wormholes later, watching instructionals to recognise chokes, Joe Rogan speaking of it religiously, then came across the Gordon, John and GSP interview and here we are :) Think GR's having a 'McGregor' effect of pulling nearby people in so I won't be a rare breed much longer, get ready for a boatload of us cos bjj is blowing up, you can see just from a clip of 2017 ADCC to this year, they're all rockstars now xD
@@erenjaegerbomb8653 haha oh the rabbit holes we go down. That is awesome to hear and I hope you are right. ADCC this year was amazing and I hope more people who don’t train find it enjoyable
Good lord BJJ has gotten so complicated. I remember back in the early 2000s when I got into MMA and started paying attention to JJ, basic armbars, sweeps and triangles were mystifying people. The evolution of the sport has been absolutely insane.
Wow, thanks. These are great dude, really appreciate it and hope this blows up. Every analysis is super easy to understand and actually take concepts from.
She is awesome! I really enjoyed watching her at ADCC. So far I am planning on just sprinkling clips of her in videos but maybe in the future we can do a full video on her!
First thing that back control that Gordon caught Andre and was some of the best I've ever seen he control this whole body with his body second Sam McNeelly, Cicneros, and o'flanagan were my breakout stars of the event I'm going to watch all their fights from now on I hope you do breakdowns on them
I think Bodoni was the biggest surprise. The Ruotolo brothers were awesome to watch, too! Tye in the Absolute Finals would have been super interesting! Just subscribed....your detailed breakdowns of Ryan's ADCC matches were excellent.
Before I watch the video. I think it boils down to the fact Gordon is just steps ahead of his opponents at all times. Then you factor in the physical aspects and nobody has a chance. Like the fact his two heel hooks once he sunk them in his opponents didn’t even try to escape they just accepted it.
I have spoken with many of the top grapplers ,past and present . Seen them teach as well , Gordon is a freak. His ability to breakdown grappling so easily is something I have never seen.
My takeaways were how well Gordon prevented the turn & run tactics when playing seated inside guard. You see Nicky Rod kicks free the first couple of times, but then the third time, Nicky tries to make a big jump out of the leg entanglement and Gordon anchors his knee to the floor with his free hand -- he placed a wedge above Nicky's knee to use Danaher's parlance. The second time, Nicky tries to leap vertically out of the rear DLR position, but Gordon anchors his ankle to the floor and he goes no where. Getting stifled when trying to make explosive movements is mentally and physically draining, and N-Rod looks defeated afterwards and hardly even fights the Inside Ashi.
Dude god dammit this is like a vitamin-fortified cereal with marshmallows: great details (e.g., what JT tells Galvao), slick analysis, engaging narrative, and hilarious! IT'S GOT EVERYTHING!
@@LIMIBJJ dude...super helpful, Jordan and I both agree that your channel is our person favorite, not only for the breakdowns but your ability to predict the next trend with success. I remember watching your video about false reap, than boom everyone is using the false reap. Including me lol

You see Nicky Rod kicks free the first couple of times, but then the third time, Nicky tries to make a big jump out of the leg entanglement and Gordon anchors his knee to the floor with his free hand -- he placed a wedge above Nicky's knee to use Danaher's parlance.
The second time, Nicky tries to leap vertically out of the rear DLR position, but Gordon anchors his ankle to the floor and he goes no where. Getting stifled when trying to make explosive movements is mentally and physically draining, and N-Rod looks defeated afterwards and hardly even fights the Inside Ashi.
I will have to go back and rewatch this. Thank you for the comment!
