Also props to B-Team for sticking to their philosophy of going for 2nd place

​@@bjarneschmalbach1524 True dedication 😂

Yeah and Cole also handled hinself well

High frame rate and high shutter speed. Plus they move incredibly smooth

Gross. I mean technically he's 18 now, but still.

Ok. Well, if you’re referring to his physical condition, that’s not the perception or paradigm I am speaking of. I am proud of his developing skills. Are you aware I trained with him and his dad pre-Covid at RPBJJ?

@@mattgoodwin6177 ohhh gotcha. Then why put the "busting a nut" emoji? Really changes the tone

@@ferguwat24 say what? I’m sorry, I have never heard or known that a celebratory image was related to busting a nut. Man, how things, words, and images change.

Such as?

Be like chess and make matches like this drawa

Weird to say that in a sport where many old school champions would often win tournaments by taking an advantage or at best a 2-point sweep and then stall…

Legit thought my playback speed was at 1.5x

@@gonzalorocha same same man XD

There is always a difference in pace and style between the higher and lower weight classes. Gordon competes against the big boys at heavy, these guys compete at 154-168. Heavyweight athletes have less range of motion/flexibility, but a lot of isometric strength (and size) so a top-heavy game is often the winning strategy, which requires some patience. The lower weight classes are highly flexible, and fast, and guard retention is so much better, so often the "path" to victory is a mix of top/bottom play & taking more aggressive risks to get a submission. Gordon said himself he could not easily pass Mikey M. His style is suited for beating other big guys like him, get on top, cook them, and break them if you can't get a fast tap. At the lighter classes, float passing and stand passing (instead of tight pressure) seems to be the preferred passing style against the guards of those divisions.

@@chrisalfar I just watched some matches from your channel and you seem more methodical and similar to Gordon in your matches. What weight are you competing at?

@@markbowen8461 I don't know how much BJJ experience you have, but IMO Gordon is technically way ahead of everyone is just about every division, regardless of his strength or roid ability. Keep in mind there is such thing as an absolute division. So if there is someone who is more technical than Gordon, he might try muscling, but the person who is technically and startegically superior to him, will beat is pure strength. He will be beaten, but right now I can't see it happening. Maybe the new generation will be the ones to do that.

Bro its that or frame rate

Check the clock at 6:43 its moving way too fast, its sped up.

@@crankskinatra6038 what’s frame rate ?

Different digital cameras record at different qualities or FPS (frames per second) any time you are looking at a video you are actually looking at still images but they can take so many still images that our brain can’t tell that is what’s really happening. Sometimes when you upload you lose some of that quality and its causes a glitchy look to the video because the quality of the FPS to degrade with the upload due to software or the camera. The glitchy look is the FPS getting slow enough we can actually notice them.

Also Cole has been training since he was 3 or 4. Pretty sure Damien only started when he was 18/19 plus came in on short notice. Good competitive match either way.

Damien also does MMA so he's not only a nogi guy

Really???

@@lukeciliberto3687 no bro hes a world class level black belt

I think he's been training like 7 years

id assume its some thing along the lines of most sub attempts and how effect they are and if thats even probably control

WNO prioritizes aggression first, I think. Then sub attempts, then positional dominance. I think.

Horse meat

It is weird to win when you are mostly playing defense.

Bottom is a losing position no matter how good you are.

​@@berzerkfury1459That sentence makes no sense. 😂 All players has a favourite game and that is either from the bottom or the top. Are you saying that Gordon Ryan cant win from the bottom because it is the loosing position? I bet he can create more threats (and actual submissions) from bottom than any other player can create threats from top. Crazy thought right?

Only way to watch is with no volume

It’s cool to see them take so many last minute matches. Props to them

He learned how to speak it

15 minutes match time coincides with 15 minutes YT time, and 15 minutes on my timer, so I don't see where you're seeing that this was 'sped up'

Your first sentence actually describes the current major problem in the Gi Competitions 😂
