I mean Fr what was going through his head, dude had to spend valuable time learning it, knowing the risks, and does it on some rando visiting his gym. Wtf

Thanks for watching mate

I’d like to do a “best of Seattle” when I do those videos and “best of La” after those

@@TylerSpangler Dig it! As a Midwesterner, I’d also love to hear your take on some of the gyms out here. There are some outstanding gyms in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin.

​@@james.randorffPSF4L lol

Have nyc on my list! Tackling Seattle and LA next, then nyc should be the next metro

@@TylerSpangler i can't wait! What nyc gyms are you considering?

@@woozskee I’ll go to dang near allll of them that allow recording. Usually when I go on a trip I’m doing 2-3 gyms a day. No rest

@@TylerSpangler come to San Diego!

Your South Texas league is closer to the blue belt rec league vs the black belt NBA. "Not all black belts are the same" would be more like Steph Curry vs Jalen Green.

@accain1314 nah, not every NBA player is a black belt. Just like NBA white belts often can't survive and quit or get cut.

@@trooperjoe73 you have a stroke or something? Tf are you talking about? Lol

​@trooperjoe73 then how are you comparing your basketball league to the nba being the same as back belt against black belt? 💀

@@trooperjoe73bro how is every nba player not a black belt in basketball, literally millions of people play basketball and 450 in the nba. Top 1% don’t even describe it.

Concepts will go further, but will take longer to teach. Anyone can do X technique, but understanding the system to get to it is more important

@@TylerSpangler that makes sense, the coaches at my gym have decided to refocus on the concept side of things rather than technique, I'm sure it'll pay dividends in the long run.... But I do miss the technique stuff.

I'm still a new white belt, but I'd like to add that for any skill that involves a practical/physical aspect, you need a combination of both. I'd not really understand the concept of things like levers, wedges, weight distribution, etc until I get on the mat and drill it with a training partner. I can watch hundreds of hours of John Danaher's instruction where he properly lays out the concepts, but I need it in my muscle memory more than my "brain memory", to actually be able to use it in practice. At the same time, if I understand the concepts, it will be easier to apply a technique without stressing too much about different variations of it, since if I know the concepts, it will be easier to make adjustments and somewhat automatically end up with a different variation.

I’m focusing on body lock passing for the next few months but may be competing next month so I’ll need to spam guillotines for that

@@TylerSpangler good man 💗 yeah I think blocks of different techniques would be very interesting and relatable to audience. You clearly have the skill and experience to make new things work against most opponents

Most people like m theory for competition or alliance. I like a little bit more laid back for filming, so I pick akagi or The Cellar. Akagi is great for their open mats every Sunday

@@TylerSpanglerthanks so much for the insight

That makes sense. I guess it could be costly to attend different gyms, but it boils down to 'how badly do you want to quickly improve?'

It really is!

80% of the time I do indeed

I hope so because I want to go to them!

It will at first for sure. When she’s older she will be easier to bring at gyms and I want her to be good at BJJ so I’ll have her living on the mats

@@TylerSpanglerGood idea. My first gym was a pro mma gym and a number of the pros would bring their kids and let them sit on the bleachers while they trained. Kind of funny really.

​@@SM-ey3pzWhat gym was that?

On the way with the website 😁

Oss mate

Who does?

Hey is Bteam beginner friendly? I see they have a white belt program. Does that mean anyone can join without experience? How safe is it for beginners?
