I think it's mainly that they're just flow rolling or in any case sparring very lightly. Not sure he would necessarily have gone harder if the guy was his size.
I think his social media presence is great. Refreshing indeed to see someone in the public eye who isn't afraid to call out the insanity of the society we live in. Instead of most others who are too afraid of the ever present woke mob

Rolling without ego is the best way to tell the quality and level of the gym. This video speaks for itself, no one learns if no one is allowed to work. Wonderful session by everyone on the mats. Thank you for letting us see it.
Yes. You are right. Our training partners are on a journey too, so allowing them to be creative during rolls helps them tremendously which in turn helps us and the entire grappling community. It’s how we grow as an art form.
you can see the moments gordon is letting his partner figure out what to do and using only technique to counter..imagine having the best grappler of all time as your partner and he isn't humiliating you every three seconds..good stuff
@blackbeltpanda8522 my bjj iq is low but as an athlete I feel like he has lost 30lbs of lean tissue. At his level that will add up in the later minutes. Wish him well.
@@taylormichael2313 that’s fair. I think he’s going to a lower weight class for ADCC so the rest of the New Wave guys won’t have to compete against each other.
Gordon on the mat is an absolute gentleman, in training and in competition. I find it interesting that it almost doesn't match his social media persona
Thanks Flo for dropping a great example of how a more knowledgeable jiu jitsu player doesn’t have to head pull or do jerk moves (Bully Jits) to lower belts while they roll with them. A good roll with a higher belt doesn’t have to be a fight for your life and limbs. OSS
It's really mesmerizing to see a behemoth of a man who's a master of the art just lightly and nicely control and dominate his partner while still letting him work. Gordan Ryan is unreal.
He’s a good training partner, cares about his team and promotes the sport and himself better than anyone out there. Guys & gals wouldn’t be making the money they currently are without him.
Gordon rolling, or even fighting, is very interesting because he doesn't look to be using strenght... it seems he uses it just on specific moments but most of the time he is using some leverage and relaxing... it is very impressive how he mastered jiu jitsu. I'm impressed with him.
guys like Gordon and Craig Jones are so good its ridiculous. I was watching Craig submit ADCC qualifiers and black belt UFC fighters like they were white belts. Its really amazing to watch guys that good.
Gordon is awesome as always his game is rich annd complex with moves you wouldn't even think of while never forgetting the basics but I was surprised by his sparring partner damn that kid got some moves and he's stunningly elusive in his game too I couldn't escape half of the attacks he flew by in a few seconds, that was an awesome training fight thanks !
This gym is SMOOOOOTH. No ego. Just all there to work methodically, intentionally on the craft. Whole aura if this camp is just smooth as silk. ...I'd love to roll here.
Falando sério agora! Baita “soltinho” como chamamos aqui no Brasil! Gordon fazendo excelente trabalho de sparring… pela diferença de tamanho e força trocando movimentos suaves com seu parceiro de treino! Parabéns Gordon! Apesar da rivalidade Brasil também te ama 🇧🇷🥋Oss!
I would rather watch this then 9 out of 10 other BJJ matches. You understand the art a lot more by watching flow rolling. Plus, it's just so satisfying to watch them enter and escape positions!
every one is commenting re: gordon but the man he's training with has extremely crisp movement. very light and yes uses some of that speed in certain transitions but moving very precise and technically. i'm sure he's a complete hammer against the guys in his division.
I didn’t see it that way. The smaller guy was going too fast all the time and had only one guard pass from standing position. Every pass he got came because Gordon let him do it. His straight ankle locks weren’t working even though Gordon just sat there doing nothing, letting the guy tighten the locks.
Gordon has to talk to build hype around matches. But he looks like a great training partner. Literally being loose and letting his partner have advantages, passes and sweeps. And not just being a huge guy.
@Enigma_Vids I think Gordon is more well versed in every single area, from passing to leglocks. Would have been interesting to see Gordon without the steroids, would have been just as good.
This looks to me like a great white shark lazily playing with a barracuda. One has all the maneuverabilty and shiftiness but at the end of the day, the other one is a great white.
Gordon was being so nice to him because of the size difference. Excellent work.
I think it's mainly that they're just flow rolling or in any case sparring very lightly. Not sure he would necessarily have gone harder if the guy was his size.
They're flow rolling. One of the best ways to practise transitions.
But you gotta have good partners - it's not about submitting.
Gordon has never went crazy on training partners....even during competition he knows when he has the sub locked in but he would never crank it
They're real nice to the juniors.
This is frequently how Danaher has his students spar, not flow rolling but about 50% muscle. Its pure tech.
His social media aside, Gordon looks like a fantastic training partner.

Yes I agree. This Was a quality roll with trial and error. I would love to have more of these
Huuuuuh

Amen to that bro

I mean, that's what Rolling is for. You let the other guy move and figure things out while you maintain your composure and try to sort things out
@@MythicalTurki yes but we all know that's not how it always goes
@@JASNSOUNDS 😂😂
Yep for sure, at around 2:35 you can see Gordon kind of give the Omaplata freely.
Roger Gracie wasn't where
This kid is very lucky to have Gordon to roll with. What an amazing experience
No kidding & Gordon must really trust him
hes the 2nd best 135er in the world. and hes only 16
Gordon's skill is amazing. So refreshing to see him roll lightly but on point. Nice flow roll from him 😊
I'm a fan but he does not look like the same man. Not even close. 2 weeks is not much time....
@@taylormichael2313He looks better. His high step passing and flanking look very clean.

truth
Appreciated Gordon rolling like that. His training partners looks tough young man.
Yeah Gordon’s partner here looks good for sure
I assume anyonje allowed to train at Roka is decent lol
Yeah blue shorts guy has great JJ.

Gordon looks like an off-season Santa Claus
I think thats the most in shape on season santa clause Ive ever seen 😂
That being said he’s still the GOAT
@@elliot4639he looks more like Santa, than a farm animal.
You know how many people say that?
@@camaranpayne5355 927 people say that.
This is how big guys can still get work from smaller guys. Nice to see flow and skill.
It’s funny how universal the “letting him work” flo looks. This is how my buddy rolls with me when he’s being nice. 😂
guys like Gordon and Craig Jones are so good its ridiculous. I was watching Craig submit ADCC qualifiers and black belt UFC fighters like they were white belts. Its really amazing to watch guys that good.
Yeah and as good as Craig Jones is, Gordon is even better than that. He really is in a league of his own.
@joebeast15 not better, light-years better
10:04 Dude even looks if there's someone rolling behind them before the sweep. Nice
This is why Gordon is better than everyone. He trains to get better at jiu-jitsu.
I love videos like this how we see how the gym is structured. It shows philosophical differences between gyms
That was so awesome watching a true expert execute with precision and skill. Truly the best there is.
I know Gordon is going like 20% but that series of transitions at 7:39 was amazing by the smaller dude.
Super sharp. Only to get bench-pressed off of mount 😅
I was thinking of how hard Gordon was going and I was like from full REM sleep to ADCC finals this is about 5-15%
This is more like 5% lol
Watching rolls of this quality in perfect silence is mesmerizing
Super respectful . What a great roll . I wish guys rolled like that more often . There’s a time and a place to go beast mode
Gordon moves are amazing. This is art.
Gordon is awesome as always his game is rich annd complex with moves you wouldn't even think of while never forgetting the basics but I was surprised by his sparring partner damn that kid got some moves and he's stunningly elusive in his game too I couldn't escape half of the attacks he flew by in a few seconds, that was an awesome training fight thanks !
Such amazing stuff to watch. Gordon emphasizing his technique vs. raw power. The other guy is absolutely using everything to stay alive. Great roll
Fascinating. The smaller guy is really good, but so is Gordon. Great stuff!!
Man is so calm and smooth and fluid. Ultimate confidence. Truly great .
It’s incredible how precise Gordon’s movements are. It’s that saying, slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
So effortless... just mind blowing..
Gordon's jiu jitsu processer is so far ahead of everyone's it awesome! Plus all the sound techniques.
Bom ver o Gordon voltando a treinar
this video almost make me sleep
The constant flow is unreal
This gym is SMOOOOOTH. No ego. Just all there to work methodically, intentionally on the craft. Whole aura if this camp is just smooth as silk. ...I'd love to roll here.
No spaz just smooth and controlled!! Its incredible how SILENT it is in tjere 😮😮

These rounds are GOLD!
This flow was so mesmerizing I had to watch it twice. Unbelievable intuitive movement
Right? I kept rewinding as well.
Super Saiyan Gordon. Calm an methodical pace. Looking forward to seeing you win brother.
This was really refreshing to watch!

I love that because of the size difference gordon is only using technique and not power, huge respect for the training here.
The way that kid kicked his foot out to get rid of knee on belly was super interesting. 8:43
Classic story of the student becoming the teacher. Respect!!👍💪
Gordon introducing himself to his training partner at the start is a nice display of humility.
Its crazy how gordon never seems to be worried at just works his way out of positions with ease
The dude just straight up understands grappling to an insane degree.
Gordon has to talk to build hype around matches. But he looks like a great training partner. Literally being loose and letting his partner have advantages, passes and sweeps. And not just being a huge guy.
this really is some BEAUTIFUL jiu jitsu
Every time I watch Gordon rolling it feels like a free private class.
so cool to see them roll and gordan be nice the guy
Who is that guy rolling with Gordon?! Smooth. Also Gordon training with massive control. Awesome.

Thats why you should never give up
This old man is a beast
He's like 28
Genuinely Gordon is the most technical grappler ever

@Enigma_Vidshe would destroy him
@@gsp3428 The steroid comments are so stupid.
This sport is literally full of juice heads.
They’re on a level playing field.
@Enigma_Vids Gordon would kill Marcelo 😂😂😂
Beautiful to watch
Light work!!
that leg sweep where he kicked his feet out and he did the splits almost was slick
Love this guy. When you roll with a light guy and.put bjj on display , beautful. 🙏
he has an answer to everything
Gordon with great attitude.
The kid is really good! Who is he?
Andrew DeGraff
Love the Homeless Ryan look
Greatness as per the norm!!!!
Man Nick Nolte can roll!!!
In all seriousness now good grappling.
i have nothing to say about the "goat".. but the little guy did a great roll
His off balances against standing opponents are just sensational. Constant kuzushi
KUzushi
@@universaljiujitsu6816 Ku-zussy
jesus; they look so chill. i would've been huffing and puffing by the 15 second mark
That Yeti is really good at BJJ he should compete.
Probs to the kid. He looks great.
Having my coffee in the garden and watching this ❤
it's like that guy in cast away got stuck on the island but instead of survival practiced jujitsu for 8 years
Gordon could have tapped him multiple times. Nice to see him allowing the smaller guy to work
That little guy is lethal
Gordon’s skill is crazy.
Wish all practice rolls could be like this...
His partner downloaded so much new knowledge from that one roll
The Tonon vs. Bodoni match on the background loos way more interesting
What a legend what a fucking experience it would be to roll with this man ❤
Say what you like, he’s just too good!
It's so harmonious
I wanna see the Giancarlo and Gary roll!
Gentle Giant Gordon good guy
7:00 that straight ankle almost got the tap lol
I cant wait to see Gordan put on the gi and dominate as well.
Great joke
😂😂😂 ....this ☝️
Meregalli
He has reached his final Evolution. Hobo Ryan is here
BJJ ASMR is differentttt
Nice flow roll.
It's like John thinks his soul will get stolen if he looks towards the camera at all 😂
The King
privilege to train with GR, homie is high level himself 🤙🏽
I love to see this dude roll with musemeci
Poetry in motion
Maybe the first time I’ve ever seen Gordon knee cut at 8:53.
The training partner is also showcasing his brilliant skillset. I recognise that he studies the technique of Gordon/Danaher diligently.
Nice entry to Berimbolo at the start there!
It’s like I would like to see him go into mma but then again if he just sticks with jiu jitsu and help it grow and become more mainstream
This looks to me like a great white shark lazily playing with a barracuda. One has all the maneuverabilty and shiftiness but at the end of the day, the other one is a great white.
Am I the only one that would enjoy watching one of these goats rolling/sparring with an untrained fan?
Super training partner!! 😊
You can tell Gordon is just working with him.
