The dumbest shit I have ever heard is that the benefit of ADCC is “exposure,” but that exposure is locked behind a predatory year long $100 pay wall from flograppling.
Index funds are way more powerful than most people realize. Putting 6K per year into a 10% return rate for 40 years means you'll have close to 3 million dollars by the age of 60. If you start with a million dollars, put it into a 10% return for 40 years, and don't touch it, you'll have over 45 million dollars.
1 million dollars is life changing. It won’t allow you to live like a millionaire everyday but rather a middle class dude with zero bills and complete and total freedom.
10,000 dollar prize pool for ADCC is so criminal it makes me never want to watch it again. I don’t know how I could be so into the matches that I didn’t realize there is essentially no reward for winning for years now
Honestly the athletes probably rely on ADCC performance for exposure. They do well get recognized and start doing seminars and selling instructionals. However you have to have a personality for that rather than just be good at jiu jitsu. You should be rewarded for that. They can afford more than 10k prize. In summary fuck adcc
Mo Jassim must be crazy to think that drums, fireworks etc is going to attract more spectators. The only thing that draws the spectators is the athletes and that's all that matters.
It's obviously a scam for mo to keep the money instead of paying athletes. allot of big business do it. They lie about expenses and split the extra money.
Karate Combat production > ADCC production and something tells me Craig has taken more inspiration from Karate Combat than just the pit. I love that goofy shit.
Nicky Ryan is the only person I've seen succinctly encapsulate the competing and divergent motivations behind the two events - and why they both have validity. (I see Danaher's influence on his sharp analytical mind.)
Nicky, if you can guarantee to get me to that elusive 2nd stripe on my white belt, I’ll definitely think about considering buying 1 instructional. Assuming you give me a discount.
@@crewie94 then how would I be helping him towards his goals? And yes, I’m well aware I can find them for free. Thank you for not getting the joke. Smh
I love the fact that CJI will have a stage/arena similar to Karate Combat. Jiu Jitsu, just like boxing and MMA, should have barriers so that people can't run away or get reset when they reach out of bounds. It's actually so stupid because it should have been implemented since the beginning.
Future Nicky Ryan instructional topic that I want: All in one, no nonsense no gi tool box instructional for beginners (basic escapes, basic passing, basic subs), call it a "white belt toolbox" or "no gi blue belt basics", etc. As a newbie, it's hard for me to watch 10 long instructionals on many different topics... Many have done this all-in-one instructional for for the gi, but not yet for no gi.
Just do open mat. You'll notice you keep getting caught in specific traps. Go on youtube and learn how to counter it. Once you do that, you'll find yourself getting caught in new traps. Rise and repeat. That's how I've been improving lately. helps you develop your own style better than a one size fits all instructional.
Anyone who is an elite level grappler should not pass on this opportunity. This will truly change someone's life, or more fully fund their gear and party budget.
everything that came out of his mouth is crap he heard from other youtube gurus and this is most likely his first time around the block. Same with Nicky Rod and his "real estate" investments.
People overthink this stuff. These doomer RUclips channels have people invest in meme coins over the s&p. This gen has real difficulties but good lord some of them are hopelessly stupid financially
The problem is the misunderstanding of average growth, it's the average, it doesn't always skew left. If nikki thinks he is getting 70k each year of growth that's where he's wrong, take for example Jan 2022 S&p @ $4477 - Jan 2023 $3853 -23% loss he still wants to take 70k out that year now y/y average growth is now down to only 46k not $70k
Nah I mean ADCC champ vs CJI champ. Spreads the matches out gives super fight potential within weight classes. Because of we just saw Meragali vs Nicky Rod at ADCC no one wants to see it at WNO for a while.
The winners of ADCC this year aren’t going to held in as high regard as any other year bc the fans will know that the best athletes are at CJI so ADCC was significantly easier to win this year
The real winners in life figure out how to make a living doing what they love. There are many of us out here and we never needed a gold medal put around our neck to feel validated. Craig is the man and a true leader.
Shows you how theses events really just bank on the prestige, like prestige pays the fuck bills. You gotta pay to watch ADCC, constant resets out of bounds, getting paid shit to win, probably not getting anything just to show? CJI: Free on RUclips, 10K to show, 1 Mill to win, rectangle with angled walls so theres no resets, arguably better rule set. Not even close.
craziest twist is if Gordon decides to skip ADCC and win the CJI out of principle and threaten to simply go over and take the USD1M prize every year lol. Wonder if Craig will ban him out of principle as well.
Nicky Ryan is a legit wizard and best instructor I’ve ever seen. His teaching style is extremely methodical and concise. I’m a dumb ass for not training at B-team more because I live 5mins from there but I like cheeseburgers too much.
Nicky, definitely do your next instructional on leg locks with a focus on that ankle locks with the shotgun grip, gottta make ankle locks great again 🦾🔥😎
Mo, if Nicky Ryan's testimony doesn't break your heart, I don't know what will. You HAVE to give 1 million to your champions to keep ADCC's prestige intact.
Craig is both petty and a saint. I think he is doing it just for the growth of the sport,but he needed to make it also a dick move so people wouldnt start taking him so seriously. Quite the complicated character. Love the guy
Nicky for your next instructional could you add like 45 minutes of rolling? just like flow rolls where you showcase the techniques in action so we can get an idea of what its supposed to look like live
collective bargaining, so you all need to get behind this if you want change. i think this is a great idea! should push this to all grappling not just focus on ajj. get some samoist, judoka, wrestlers branch out the interest.
It's a pity that these guys don't seem to surround themselves with the kinds of people who understand how to set themselves up with a solid pathway to financial independence. 401K - Roth IRA - optimal tax structures - a small property portfolio (not including the house we live in - 'not an asset') and some stocks and BTC for liquidity - plus income streams (school/seminars/instructionals) ... all basic stuff which they could all chip in a little and construct a 'pot' to hire someone to take care of them with this education. More people in the 'professional athlete/martial artist' space should do this. They do decades of hard work - it takes a toll on the body - and any compensation we get, is often well-earned. The B-team could all agree to dump a couple of K each, into a financial education fund - that they can all benefit from as time goes by. A simple strategy that could pay huge dividends for them as time goes by. if anyone reads this ... please consider ... for your long-term benefit.
I think the CJI is amazing, participants have a chance to win life changing money, $10,001 to just participate and it's helping charities. All around win. Going against ADCC, hope they wake up and fairly compensate participants going forward. Plus it's free advertising for the CJI, people are talking about it. Hope we see fighters getting more money in MMA very soon, too.
CONTENT IDEA: I love that you guys put out instructional and respect this is your main income, but SO many new athletes (White - Purple) do not know how to effectively use an instructional. A new video on how you would utilise your own instructional if you were a new white or blue belt would be awesome and would likely give people the confidence to spend $$ on your instructional knowing that they know how to utilise them. Big questions I have as a Blue belt is - how to balance instructionals with in class syllabus - what do good notes look like for a dvd - how do I build a month long training program out of your DVD - What does a top level athletes study program look like I can honestly say that with a clear understanding of how to use a DVD to its full and then reaping the benefits in a months time - I would be much more likely to buy further instructionals
If you win the million and the CJI becomes an annual thing like Craig was hoping, would you go back to ADCC for the gold medal or do you think the CJI will overtake in terms of solidifying who the best is?
If anyone with a connection to Craig Jones, a sincere suggestion for the event production staff: PLEASE do not copy ADCC / FLO with their strobe-light effects and flickering digital display boards for fighter entrances. Many of us are sensitive to flickering light and it doesn't add to the event, it detracts. Even UFC is using these effects and there is no ethics. Thank you!
If you find the nickies talking about CJI a bit chaotic, check out craigs appearance on the joe rogan experience. He goes into more detail right from the start and is much more coherent.
Im so amazed witht his CJI....my question is how long can this kind of event could run with that amount of money,hence, it's a nonprofit stuff as craig had said.
Ideally both, but if I had to pick, I'd say Wrestling. There's already a ton of Leg Lock instructionals on the market. Not many people are doing ADCC specific stand up instructionals.
Would you have done adcc if all the good athletes left to cji? How does that make you feel? You could win a tournament and have your life long dream. But is that how you want to do it?
Nicky Ryan: "If I won a million dollars, I wouldn't spend too much of it on dumb stuff, I'm not like Jay Rod, he'd just buy cars". 10 seconds later: "I'd buy a car and a lifetime supply of ZYNs" 🤣

Financial advice "I know a lot about crypto"...i would take Jay rod's McLaren instead of that

Honestly, investing in a S&P 500 is really solid advice.

Especially considering the fact that they increased production over the years and not athlete pay
true
its fcking insane
Someone said athletes have to buy their own tickets as well? Entry to ADCC / flights to Vegas / accommodation whilst staying etc.
That’s madness
Honestly the athletes probably rely on ADCC performance for exposure. They do well get recognized and start doing seminars and selling instructionals. However you have to have a personality for that rather than just be good at jiu jitsu. You should be rewarded for that. They can afford more than 10k prize. In summary fuck adcc
You take care of you, not ADCC's image. Much respect to the decision, guys.
