I started jiu-jitsu this year so it was big for me

It was a freak accident, literally could have happened to anyone. I feel bad for the coach and for the student.

man that was a great summary! you should do this monthly or so

I disagree with the mixed classes. They beginners should learn the basics first before getting into sparring. The biggest pain I got was from beginners. In Muay Thai and also in BJJ.

They actually tested Cyborg after worlds at his academy on his BIRTHDAY hahaha

I remember hearing about that and I was shocked but thank god he’s doing ok now

Couch winning trials was unexpected to me and not just winning but dominating every match

Great video! Love your videos and commentary! Learned a lot from you.

This video is awesome man, really entertaining!!

Started back bjj this year after SIX YEARS no training. Competed in my first comp & lost - it was awesome 😆 Big year this year!!🎉

Great summary. Thanks!

Our Boi Gorden's body comparison lookin like the McDonalds ad vs what you actually get lol. All jokes aside hope he gets well fast and we see him compete again soon.

I'm ignorant about this: how is Gordon accusing someone of taking steroids, while admitting taking them? I'm genuinely asking

great vid!

What about Quintet? That was the highlight for me this year. :D

Wild that my 4th stripe wasn't in this video. I guess it needs it's own vid though

Awesome recap

I fucked up my neck really bad. Safety needs to be the number 1 priority an must be regulated. Also certain neck manipulation isn't talked about enough

you should do these monthly.

Love ur videos josh, is there a possibility of u talking about instructionals again? Like maybe the ones you've been studying and how you personally study and practice them. Keep it up👍🏾

I would not call J-Rod a “high level” wrestler. I don’t think even think he wrestled all the way through high school.

But at least he hit a sick armbar this year xD

Awesome video 🔥

A wild year for the sport for sure

Mixed level classes are not "common" at the gym I trained at, at all. White belts would never be allowed to do that move, especially with a coach. WTF are you talking about.

aint no way you didnt mention demetrious johnson

Got the picture of Vagner Rocha wrong!! 👀👀😂😂

Nice

“B team” really is a fitting name for them. It was a joke but it’s actually true.

@1:58 whats the story on this incident

This year you became my absolute favorite BJJ KZfaqr bro

Nice job escaping my sponsor block

👌👌

If Gordon Ryan is getting recurring "stomach issues" its because he's probably "stacking steroids" and it's catching up to him. Ask Brock Lesner who had to have a part of his colon removed. These stomach side effects along with the counterintuitive "baby testicles" "bitch tits" and "feminine ways" and "bitchiness" of these dudes are all well documented side effects. If your're young you simply don't need them you have enough Test naturally. Older guys maybe tested for HRT but the stacking stuff you will pay for one way or another look at any old wrestler or football player post stacking multiple roids. None of them look real good they all mainly looked prematurely aged. Hope you are well Josh and always enjoy your content!

in the thumbnail ryan looks like a 1980`s cocaine wizard whos magic spell has worn off

Did anyone see Pat Sabatini’s submission at Fury 8? He’s a teammate of mine and the guys jiu jitsu is so underrated

"What are Josh Rich's plans for 2024? 🤔"

There's no way that she didn't pop that knee on purpose.

Regarding the law suit, it's the responsibility of the coach to spar with the lower belts. And it wasn't an aggressive roll.

Juice jitsu

Everyone banned was Brazilian. HOLY funny. Those unscrupulous cheaters are all the same.

TO be fair trials in US was wrestling dominated but not in European trials. A lot more technical BJJ imo. US trials for ADCC was kinda boring to watch, 6 min collar ties is boring.

Roids roids roids! Best thing to ever happen to fighting sports!!!

Instructionals do not work… Work is what works.

Shaved or not, Gordon does not look 27. 37 yes, 27 no.

Hey guys can anyone direct me to where i can find the instructionals that were used by joseph Chen.

yo ngl i heard after the fact that the knee bar at bteam was legit... after watching that i feel like that chick prolly shoulda backed off on that well before she broke it... his knee was obviously in a fucked up position and she was like fuck it, lets take this further.

Wow some crazy stuff happened this year! Including that guy getting paralyzed! Hey Josh, I’ve been getting taken down with the double leg a lot and sometimes I’m too late to sprawl, is there any other advice you have?

jacked vegan Mica Galvao's needs an award for the best worst excuse for using PEDs

injury rate is high in jiujitsu. a lot of moves are risky. what that coach did was a bit much but it was an accident. i guess it sets the example if you are going to run classes and coach you can't do anything beyond the basics with beginners even if they are a hard roll as a beginner. there is pressure on the coach that once he rolls he has to tap his students in some places or he will lose students long term. i personally never cared because its about knowledge and most coaches are older. I hates the big dude who would come in thinking if he taps the old past prime retired from competition 145 lb coach it means anything. I personally think injury rate is so high this should be made very clear in the contract signed for the membership that if you get injured in class you can not sue and you have to be aware the sport even in casual practice comes with a high risk for serious injury or potentially injuring others seriously and that even if you do everything right in terms of injury prevention accidents happen. most jiujitsu athletes do no end up paralyzed but similar things have happened to high profile athletes in the sport so its not just at the beginner level where there is risk. Most jiujitsu athletes do end up with damaged nerves and disc issues in their spine and neck that lead to lots of issues. its not being paralyzed but for many over a life time of training the accumulation of damage is debilitating and ultimately crippling in old age for many. this is just the spine too. many end up with very serious joint injuries as well that sometimes even prevent walking/ running normal. Jiujitsu is an extreme sport that is terrible for the body. Many class structures have shifted away from even stopping up to blue belts from doing anything but drilling. many give you just a couple 5 min rolls a week and thats it. Student retention is very hard long term. Most end up with an accumulation of injuries by blue belt and dont see the point of pushing it further. its an effective martial art but its ultimately a stupid practice for the average person. if you got bank like joe rogan and access to whatever you need as you age then yolo, go for it. do whatever you want. if you dont then dont bother. that guy talks like everyone needs to train but ignores all the surgeries and procedures he has done, hes on trt hgh and other peptides, he just has access to it all for recovery and injury prevention and his body is still a bit fucked despite all that. if the situation is really life or death you need to learn to use a weapon and learn to distance and escape. jiujitsu will always be stupid in practice for average people. even the athletes if you aren't the top 1% there is no money in it. there is middle aged disability.

Why the rashguard?

Damn no Mikey Musumeci love

I think anyone who defends that coach is pretty wild mate. He’s a “coach” meaning he knew what he was doing correct? If not then why perform something you don’t know how to properly with a much lesser belt?

Jay Rod is not a high level wrestler. Dude never placed at state in highschool. Dorian is high level, he has won prestigious tournaments like Preseason nationals and had a great runs at super 32 and won the middle school division before. He can go wrestle in college if he wanted. No college wanted Jay.

That back take is a dinosaur in bjj that needs to go extinct. It's fake news, and it breaks necks

Pretty sure Musk pulled out

B team comes off as a bunch of douchey bullies.

#steroids!

Nice
