Craig made a lot of sense talking about the karate combat infrastructure being perfect for grappling. A big flat space with lines is amateur bullshit compared to a physical boundary. The slanted padded wall opens up interesting options. So many grappling competitions are on raised areas surrounded by dangerous shit, that's just stupid.
@@GettingBetter26 Right?! Bad designs drive me crazy. Grappling companies like ADCC are being super cheap and lazy about their infrastructure design. People watching the fight should never have to worry about being smashed. The fighters should never have to worry about breaking a limb on some media equipment table. I love the rule-set, but the ADCC needs to get their shit together. They are the big dog in grappling, winning ADCC is the pinnacle achievement for those atheletes. There is no excuse for amateur shit like this. I hope more pro grapplers follow Craig over there and talk about how much better it is on social media so the ADCC people get a nice little wave of shame that forces them to improve.
@@HoboGardenerBenwell, I wouldn’t go that far. Its not easy to run events on such a big scale and a lot goes into it. I only agree with the statement that the pit is a better format than flat mat with no barriers, platform, cage, or ring. That said, I think ADCC is doing a really good job and its only the beginning.
@@GettingBetter26 I certainly appreciate the way they incentivize the ongoing rise in skill. But the first event was in 1998, it is well past time that they handle basic infrastructure in a better way. I have seen many videos where the fighters go off into the crowd, that is simply unexceptable for a professional sport. If they had just started 4-5 years ago I would agree with you, but since that isn't the case, I stand by my initial comment. They are being lazy about that, and risking potentially expensive lawsuits, it's dumb.
That's the ruleset. People make a habit of running to the sidelines to get a reset & allowing the grappling to continue off the mats discourages that running away. How many matches ended up going off the mats last adcc?
@@SwordFighterPKN might be dangerous but I'd be curious to see where most of the adcc injuries occur, off the mats during a run away attempt or on the mats during grappling or a sub attempt. I would guess most of the injuries happen during the actual grappling while on the mats
@@constablekohler - categorizing injuries? The out of bounds take downs are unneeded risk, UNLESS the mats extend all the way to the walls. There is at least one throw in the video that almost went into a table like professional wrestling.
@@SwordFighterPKN yes categorize injuries if that's how you want to see it. It's a grappling sport where injuries are unfortunately inevitable. Since off the mat action is permitted and there's a claim that it's risky to allow that it would be useful to see how many injuries total vs how many on the mat space vs how many off the mats. Also worth throwing into the discussion is that all of the adcc competitors go into these competitions knowing the rules & risks associated with those rules (including the possibility of almost getting thrown into a table like WWE)
Wow getting a little carried away now. Why not just do mma? You get paid to do that. Jui jitsu fighting is more about control and submission if it’s there. This seems like you’re trying to hurt your opponent or end their career.

agree 100%

boom
wrestling with submission
like the video
Grappling outside the mat is a revolution , thank you for all the content . I love adcc
I am pumped for West Coast Trials. So many fire matches in all of the other trials. West Coast always seems to bring out the best though.
wow, that was some awesome action!
This is fire 🔥
this is so cool
2:14 this turned into an wwe match 😤
Who’s guy in the white 6:39?
I love how referees don't stop the action. There are no boundaries :)
Grappling outside the mat makes this look so unprofessional.

@@constablekohler - I get why they allow it but it does get dangerous being out of bounds and still going like that.

When did Weird Al start reffing?
Can’t imagine getting excited about winning on points
allowing to keep rolling off the mat needs to be stopped. Dumb and dangerous.

Dont like it. Dont watch it
Then don't watch it
We are, in fact, going for the kill. It’s mutually understood. You should try it!!😂
Average bjj butscooter is scared of takedowns
short Russian anyone?
