Any time he explains anything you need to “ De-DANAHER” the explanation. What the normal professional could explain in 1 minute, multiply x 100. So for every 1 minute, Danaher uses 100 minutes of time. I will say he’s wasting his time with martial arts. He ls the 21st century Leonard Nimoy. He should be on Nat-Geo or Discovery channel narrating for a pack of wild wolves living in the Canadian border, or tracking a lions pride in the Serengeti. Your voice is your superpower. Never mind Gordon fish sticks. Go for the real bucks in narrative

From what I see, at the heavier weight divisions a lot of the competitors seem to be getting away with depending more on their size than their skill. Gordon increased both his size and skill, equalizing the former attribute and gaining advantage in the latter. When size is equalized, skill takes over. Thus, Gordon monopolizes the division.

In Gordon’s first match in the turtle position when his opponent stands and Gordon still has the hook in with the power half there’s a back sweep in wrestling that allows you to maintain the back without losing the hook. Jayden Eirman currently from Iowa University does it best if you’re interested in the position.

Lex was off about Gordon's expressions. He's not showing fear. For all of Gordon's Chad-like qualities, he seems to be genuinely an eccentric guy, which comes out in his mannerisms and expressions. You can see it in the interviews. Even just listening to his voice: it doesn't match his look. He sounds like a professor or a guy with OCD even though he looks like a Chad. It's kinda funny actually, and endearing. Had he got into the sciences or the arts, with his intensity, I think his quirks would make more sense for what they are.

It would not surprise me if these best strikers and grapplers has adhd or ocd. Something to give them that extra push over other athletes. - Gordon Ryan and John Danaher are both very systematic similar to ocd people. - Mike Tyson probably has adhd, for all that explosive power and anger all the time. He had loads more energy for the first 3-6 rounds, than most knockout artists.

I remember hearing a quote that applies to what Lex brings up around the 23:00 mark. I don't know who said it first (all of my searches find conflicting evidence), but I think it might've been someone in the military: "you never rise to the occasion, you fall to the level of your preparation." Sure, the context and stage upon which you compete can have physiological and psychological impacts on you (adrenaline, hearing your name chanted gives you come confidence, etc), but generally guys in those situations are so dialed in that their instincts just take over. They execute things they've done thousands of times specifically for the moment, and if all goes well, they usually come out victorious.

I agree with John in other combat sports being more forgiving! I wrestled from he age of 5 until the age of 26. I was a successful wrestler but not technically sound. I liked to create scrambles and was able to develop a style around that. When I started training BJJ, my wrestling style didn't translate well against brown and black belts in BJJ. It took me 3 or 4 years to figure out how to wrestle in BJJ without getting caught because BJJ is not as forgiving as wrestling. It's also hard to unlearn or slow down things that had become 2nd from wrestling while doing BJJ.

@stamandthegreat Жыл бұрын

Because partway into the match, I believe 5 minutes in this case, the judges begin awarding and deducting points, which is not the case during the early portion of the match. If Gordon’s opponent was able to return to his feet, Gordon would have been forced into a wrestling battle with his opponent because he would have been penalized for sitting down or allowing his opponent to take him down.
