Good to see 2 of the best in the world sharing the mats. Id be sick for Meregali to bring Gordon up to speed with the Gi and Gordon can do the same in Nogi. With Danaher at the helm? FUGGET ABOUT IT
Love body lock passing. I feel like I discovered a cheat code for bjj, I’m passing people I never passed before. Gordon’s got an instructional that’s like 12 hours long on just body locking that’s incredible.
@@ivyu0438 Gordon Ryan has an instructional on body locks. The instructional is 12 hours long. It covers any and every way to pass, to get around frames, and dealing with any possible thing they can do to defend against a body lock pass. It’s a 10 part instructional with 8 on instruction and 2 live rolls which 1 of is narrated by Gordon.
I miss being able to train like my mind wants to. I’m 61 and can relate to John when he said he can’t grip a certain way because he has arthritic wrists. I’m 61 and I have a laundry list of chronic injuries. Wait until these guys are my age.
He is a monster in the Gi but still his match with Kaynan was super close. He should be grateful that he got through from that one with judges decission.
@@tra1in1 that is true. But also Kaynan is an ATOS competitor, where winning is more important than submitting. It looked to me like Kaynan tried to game points and Meregali beat him to the punch.
@@GenoGenovTihoonen Meregali wants to win on points as much as anyone else. High level Gi competition is hard game. The biggest myth is 'I lost because I am a submission hunter'! Well, then you might want to change your game if you want to be worldchamp. Kaynan won his own weight final with submission. All big teams are trying to win by any way possible.
@@tra1in1 oh yes, all of this is true. And this of course is why BJJ as a spectator sport is not as big. You need to practice it and be pretty high level to be able to appreciate some of what's going on. What I am saying is that Meregali is very aggressive and submission oriented. And if his opponent also tries to actually ay jiu jitsu the match becomes pleasure to watch.
It's wild how gi and no-gi is so different -- two totally different martial arts / sports. Crazy how guys used to just show up to ADCC after doing no-gi for a few weeks inbetween gi seasons. He will pick it up fast
Exactly, nowadays you must choose between one of them because they are completely different games. Back in the old days Gi guys trained for the ADCC for couple of months and thats was fine, now if you want be top in no gi you must do only no gi.
@@piotrek3580 people still do that one month camp for nogi training for adcc. And there were lots of champions on it that arent dedicated only to nogi (Pena for example).
It's only different if you're following competition rules sets like Gordon said, "you shouldn't lose your super powers because you took off your Gi." It's like saying boxing is completely different if you're fighting someone outside the ring. Not really, you just don't have your hands wrapped and covered and there's no rules telling you what is and isn't illegal to do. That's the difference between training MA for sport and training MA for life.
yes! i'm so stoked that he's trying no gi. looking forward to see what meregali can do given time, and just how even more dangerous he'll get when he ups his leglock game. hope he sticks with it
hopefully nic will pick up some tips on how to flip a bird, with proper form & function. note the volume of birds flipped by gordon ryan: to different people, at various distances, and with NO negative consequences; he's flipped off entire audiences with both hands & been applauded for it. by that golden standard, nic's foray into competitive bird flipping seems sophmoric (at best.)
The secret is being humble and teachable and that’s more important than anything and that’s rare to see a black belt Brazilian trying to learn from a non Brazilian… And that’s a mark of intelligence .
To think about how world class Nicholas is and to then hear Coach John say, “he still needs to learn the whole leg lock game,” just reenforces what an ocean of learning BJJ is
@@Dillon_Ditch Not true. There is a whole lineage of BJJ dedicated to foot, wrist and knee locks, under Master Oswaldo Fadda, going back to the 1940's. Several of today's big schools go back to that source, like GFTeam. These locks were frowned upon back then because were found to be aesthetically displeasing when compared to other techiniques. Like most things in life, the development of BJJ and grappling overall was not conducted only by one agent (i.e the Gracie family), however the impact that the Gracie family had in jiu-jitsu and the creation of vale-tudo is incomparable.
@@sly.al.6404 exactly. It's great to notice that cradle option there as well. From that dump you go right into side and/or chokes/cranks :D works like a charm
@@keystothetruth Were you not listening to Danaher and reading the response? "If you lose the head". No wonder you are a no name keyboard warrior. Your warped ego stops you from listening. Stop it with your worthless input.
I had the pleasure of rolling with Meregali about a month ago. Such a great dude; he was kind enough to let me survive the experience too 😂
Hearing John coaching and Gordon giving that 30 second instructional. Make me wanna move to Texas
4:16 awesome adjustment Gordon! thanks

We know it's you, Gordon. Stop trying to sell us your shit.
and Gordon doesnt use bodylock passing as his main lol
@@John2corner what does he use?

4:05 just changed my life.
Meregali is such an inspiration. He really goes out there and gets what he wants. I envy his willpower and drive to achieve greatness.
cool to see Rory! Anyone remember when he had the match with JT Torres at metamoris?
Meregali is a BEAST, so sad to see him disqualified from Worlds, bc he was on his track to winning it, EASY.
E-A-S-Y mate, Meregali is a monster in the Gi!

Leg locks are gay never unstable why ppl wanna touch dude feet
the world needs a john danaher MMA/striking instructional
The best BJJ athletes in the world under one roof..
Gordon and Meregali bromance, love it! Love him or hate him, Gordon is the beast. Game recognizes game.
1:53 is that Jake Shields in the background
Yes
1:40 Wisdom
2:54 foot instead of knee
Esse ADCC vai pegar fogo 🔥🔥🔥
The host of this show LOOKS like Meregali! It fucks with my mind!
Pound 4 pound Gary is the best, what athlete
yah he's the first no gi leglock specialist that i ever watched. successful mma career too
Meregali straight up savage
@5:42 the dude looked so surprised watching Nicholas Meregali's technique that he opened his mouth widely..
😅😅😅

Muito bom!!
Before watching this video i have to say, please don’t be clickbait i want to see them roll!
Nicolas é brabo no jiu jtsu
So algumas adequações com o no gi e ninguém segura ele mais
I’m getting rocky training music vibes from this background track lol
Vai ficar monstro quero velo no adcc já luta pra frente e treinando com Gordon lascou show pra cima alemão
cant wait to see Meregali spanking that Pena Playboy on ADCC
pena is competing at +99 nicholas at -99.
Eles obviamente são de categorias diferentes, SUA ANTA kkk
Get that belt Garry Tonon
Rory mcdonals in the house
Is that Rory Mcdonald I saw?
how much do they pay to train there?
Meregali training with Gordon and Danaher was the right choice!
"...and he was always a guard puller - anyways..."
I love Danaher, he needs a mic tho, I can never hear
When Danaher speaks everyone listens, it's like Clint Eastwood he doesn't raise his voice makes people quiet down to hear.
@@openmike2941 Lol exactly
john danaher has the best job in the world i swear.

Is that Rory Macdonald??
Yes

That’s more the luta livre and catch wrestling side of wrestling/ sumission grappling but the Gracies hide that part of history / grappling

Post more content. We already saw this on Instagram
This was never on Instagram.
meregali reminds me of buchecha, big ass brazilian dude lol
he's got those long ass limbs like slender man lol
6:30
Where is Gordon training these days ?
Austin, Texas at New Wave JJ
Hype
❤
It is a laboratory .here they practice and invent the science of martial art
Oss TMJ 👊🏻💪🏻
legend has it John danaher wore a rash guard to matt seara's wedding 🤔 always wondered if that was a joke or if it's really true ?
Bom dia, gurizes!!!
The one opponent you cannot submit is Age.
Só no whey de morango 🍓
Awesome!
Minute 1:50 there's absolutely no need to let go of the head.
Keep it, drop the guy on side and cradle that baby 'till it sleeps :D
But he said, "if you lose it" then demonstrated what to do if you do lose it. Both sound good.

John “Athletic Wrists” Danaher
He said "arthritic"
@@ogtreyrobinson Oh shit, now I feel like an asshole!
They don’t actually train with each in the video…
a lot of times athletes dont want training footage released of them training with each other because it could show who is better
@@dumbnerd747 exactly plus w/ ADCC coming up they don't want anyone analyzing their latest game and using it against them
@@dumbnerd747 that's why gordon didn't shake meregali's hand after the session, he senses his potential haha
Man, Gordon with that nasty diaphragm compression choke
HOW DARE GORDON DO THAT TO THE SULTAN.
Just bc you take off the gi doesn’t mean you lose your power😂😂😂🤦♂️
FAKE NEWS: RYAN AND MEREGALI DID NOT TRAIN TOGETHER IN THIS VIDEO..CLICKBAIT BS
They did train together. Training doesn't equal rolling/sparring which I'm sure they also did but flograppling ain't showing that for free 😁
Que se lasque
That moment when you wish you were the girl under Gordon Ryan 😏😍
...you can do better.
Preguiça is gonna beat your team and when happened don't forget the gracies
I heard a neck crack
Why’s Gordon always rolling with a smoking hot female ?
Gordon was away for long time???? Steroids??? This dudes didn't went to the right process,..
Cowardly move from Meregali. Instead of trying to beat the guy, you side with him just to not losing face. This is sad.
