Ouch that sounds horrible

What i learned in newaza judo is pins like north south, and kesa gatami (scarf hold) are not popular in BJJ. Bjj people usually dont know what to do when you get them in pins like that especially north south.

Osoto gari and uchi mata are underrated

Good interview. One of the 1st bjj books I bough years ago when bjj was stil new in this country was Jiu-Jitsu University from Saulo. Still using it 👍🏼👍🏼

Leg locks are scary as hell and they are very crippling plus ignoring 50% of the human body is straight up stupidity

How do you grade your students?

It’s nice to see some of these grapplers reflect on their experiences. I’ve been saying this for years judo is your base, train it young, train wrestling with some judo at 13 to 18 - might get a scholarship. Bjj is just cherries you can train it anytime in your martial art career after your an adult. If you walk into a BJJ gym with 10y experience in judo and wrestling you are going to make blue belt pretty quickly, or your gonna make a lot of whit belts quit, and no gym owner wants that.

By definition adcc is not treating the athletes correctly if the top prize winner gets 10,000 and they pay 2 million for an arena, and they pay the bongo drum players more than 10k. I like xande, but that makes no sense. They don't pay the athletes enough, they insult the athletes with the amount they pay them, the athletes put their lives on the line and most of them make no money. Craig Jones is basically right and I don't mind if he makes adcc suffer. ADCC will become better based on the CJI's competition. Xande is an established bjj icon, so he has forgotten what it is like for the young bjj star who can beat everybody but has to deliver pizzas to keep a roof over his head.

Turns out that the promoter is Kim Jong Un!!!

Xande's take on CJI was atrocious. This man is talking in circles. Virtue signaling hard over here. And him saying wrestling isn't a rich industry sealed it for me. He doesn't know what he thinks he knows (i.e., the Dunning-Kruger effect).

Instead of attending school and trying to have a better life, they scam and steal. Awful culture.

Hope he wins CJI and gets the million!

Xande, if you were still a competitive top-level grappler, you and your brother would be singing a very different tune.

😅 I'll make sure never to go to your seminars... I think CTE has got you mate... was cool till about halfway through the podcast...

Nice therapy session with Dale 😂

My old ass hasn't banged a comment section up like this in a long time. When Malachi said it doesn't have to be dynamic, it just needs to be efficient. I almost jumped up because at 53, starting my BJJ at 26(12 years GM Ricardo Murgel as uke, now Rodrigo Artiheiro), with efficiency comes dynamism. Lot of people would call it old age and treachery though.❤😂🎉

To the host, first of all thank you for this podcast. It's probably the best Jiu-Jitsu podcast I've watched and I don't know how long. Malachi is a beast,. I'm 53 I started Jiu-Jitsu at 26. Whoever told you your body defenerates needs to be choked. I've just come through, and I'm coming through a little bit, stage 4 cancer. My body has basically gotten a reboot, thanks to nutrition, a heck of a support group, and jiu jitsu. Not only am I recovering faster than average by far, according to my doctor; my body is regenerating. I'm also an Army infantry veteran, I'm as good a shape now as I was as a mid-twenties army infantryman. I've never stopped eating right, or stretching or moving. This is no flex on my part. It's just simple and what has worked. Anyone can do it, I'm a nobody that's just been loving martial arts since 1980 in total. You're not going to degenerate, man. You're going to regenerate.

Legend, but he does not get it He is not from this new wave era of grapplers. Respect Xande, but you are not from this generation. Where there are promotional fights, UFC etc etc. Why would you do four superfight, earn nothing from it, and possible lose the interest to do those fight in any other promotion that actually pay you. Respect for the legend, but hes wrong about CJI.

Fully agree

Hidden ego. 1:29:29 Upset black belts visit his gym 😂 Then smashes his students based on being overweight 😂😂😂

After taking numerous strikes round after round things become a lot harder to pull off!

most negative man in jiu jitsu

Friedman is a beast i follow him on fb quality jiu jitsu.

This guy has serious delusional mental issues 😂 Islam would darce this wack job on repeat if he was fresh. Let alone after 20 min of fighting

Thanks. This is a powerfully refreshing view.

Wonder how hard he’d be to d’arce after a few rounds fighting at full pace against the p4p best fighter on earth? (Bar JJ)

Old man yells at cloud.

The more i listened to this, the more contradicting / hypocritical it sounded. We all have these problems... but this went on for 2 hours.

imo add Heal Hooks in a Combat Division, that is similar to Combat Sambo, Punches, Elbows, Hammer Fists, Palm Heel Strikes, Knees

Pure Grappling has no strikes, that changes a lot, its HUGE

Judo came from JIUJITSU not the other way around. So if any art lost it's luster, it's JUDO.

The gi lover talking about how boring it is when you have to play with someone’s “system”. The delusion is strong. Im out

Khabib…the combat sambo world champion doesn’t know leg locks? If you leg lock khamzat then you took the easy way out? If khamzat wrestles a striker he’s taking the easy way out. Isn’t that the point of combat competition? To take the least dangerous path to victory?

Massively off the mark on this

"I'm feeling hurt because I'm in the Hall of Fame of the ADCC" -- sums up everything.

Xande coming across as salty and contradicts himself a bunch of times. What he's upset about was he competed his whole life for the achievements alone and barely got paid, now the scene is undermining the organizations he built his legacy in (IBJJF and ADCC) and pay is going to go way up across the board. This is probably just the start of his bitter feelings.

Somebody go educate Xande.....SMH.....I'm one minute in and I'm done listenting to this nonsense.

Love this guy but damn, the shit that is coming out of his mouth is toxic. Rich sport? Then why haven’t they taken care of all the athletes? People have life’s to live after competition and in between.

Regardless of what ADCC has done for the sport, it does not make what they’re not doing right. It’s fucken sad that it’s takes Craig to get them to try and make changes when they have been around for a long time. So there is no better time since they had so much time to do something and Craig is all about taking care of the athletes while they aren’t.

The woman are literally making double because of Craig. He’s already increased how much ADCC pay people. Everyone is a winner here. More matches for fans, more pay for ADCC athletes, even more pay to show up and win for CJI Athletes.

A stunningly bad take 🤦‍♂️

This guy is a bit stupid.

What i took away from this was. He didnt get paid well coming up and now he doesnt want others to benefit like he didnt.....aaaaaand The CJI is raining on his hall of fame speech 😂

Craig is making the landscape better for all Bjj athletes, ADCC has started to bring more money to the athletes only after CJI picked up speed so the proof is already available. And Craig is saying athletes don’t have the leverage to negotiate for money when all the stats are hidden, the TH-cam thing is just helpful for people to know

Initially, as a fan (consumer), I didn't like it. But I realized that the grapplers ("workers") need to do a strike, disrupt the business of ADCC ("of the capitalists") to squeeze out major beneficial concessions. And setting CJI on the same date as ADCC's already produced results, like increasing women's pay.

I can see Xand's view but it only 100% valid if ADCC had been run in a fair and transparent manner but it seems it hasn't, some fighters have been getting under the table appearance payments.

Holy fuck thats a stupid take

#1 this is business, nobody owes nobody. #2, how are athletes ever gonna really get paid without something like this. Alot of fighters will make nothing but will dedicate their whole lives to training. The fact a hot dog eating champ can make more than an ADCC champ is bad. What Craig is doing is possibly changing the future of the sport for the athletes for the better. ADCC will die possibly if they dont start really paying their athletes. These guys are the best in the world, a medal is great but wont help you in the real world when you need to take care of your family.

If you believe in business the you believe in the free market. Right?.....right????
