GSP, John Danaher & Gordon Ryan on Fridman Podcast #260
I listened to Georges St-Pierre, John Danaher & Gordon Ryan on the Lex Fridman Podcast #260 yesterday and there is some very good theory in there. I always encourage you guys to listen to stuff about the theory of BJJ, especially from top guys in their fields, that’s why I’m always frustrated when I bring people in for a seminar and you don’t ask questions at the end. There’s a lot of good stuff in this video, even stuff you’ve heard me say in class . In particular when George talks about the Connor McGregor-Jose Aldo fight. There was another great part when John talks about trends in BJJ, and the undervaluing and overvalue of certain things, and talks about how he thinks leglocks are overvalued right now, another thing I’ve been saying. And Gordon says some good things too and I wish all the followers of Gordon would listen to his genius mind in BJJ and not the trolling stuff he does to make more money. But he has a great mindset for being a champion which could definitely be learned from. I have benefited greatly from watching video, I have had students in the past who benefitted as well, Professor Chris is one who uses video a lot. So even though sometimes these things are long, they’re worth the time, especially people who would listen to a bullshit podcast about aliens for an hour, this is much more beneficial. Watch the interview here :
