Well, in 15 years, I have broken an ulna and radius in same arm, broken all toes on right foot, broken both thumbs, torn meniscus, loose bodies in elbow, dislocated S.C. joint, pierced lip from tooth after kick to mouth, popped ribs, kicked in between eyes broke bridge of nose and orbital had raccoon eyes, staph twice, hurt feelings, and a couple concussions…. I forgot what point I was trying to make

This brought back memories..!! Back when I was active I would end up behind my opponent almost at will..!! Somehow I managed to always get a 2 on 1 body lock from behind while standing..!! I then used my right knee to turk there left knee down to the deck..!! The whole time I'm still locked in on the 2 on 1..!! Once on deck I would use the locked in 2 on 1 to tip the opponent up for near fall points..!! The method worked like a charm against some very high level opponents..!!

As someone who was just a spectator and just genuinely wondering, do you think you should've controlled Felipe's feet/legs more in order to pass? Or was there like a "feeling" where you couldn't? I noticed you were hand fighting a lot but did grab his ankles a couple times but dropped them. Just wasn't sure if you didn't feel like you could actually control his legs/feet to pass. Not trying to discredit at all, genuinely curious what your thoughts are about controlling his legs while you're trying to get into NS or just pass his guard in general. It was awesome seeing you on the big stage! Excited to watch you at Pans and No Gi worlds!

As an ex high school wrestler that just started bjj at 46 it was awesome watching you get down. I always root for the wrestlers! Your channel is helping me use my wrestling skills in bjj. Blessings.

Bro I have the same problem as well. IBJJF unfortunately doesnt allow me to wear it for the coming toronto open. Hopefully get to train with you sometime soon as i just moved to riv-sud Montreal.

Brandon, do you offer any kind of online coaching, where you would review takedown footage and give pointers, future goals? I started BJJ as an adult, so no official wrestling experience. I love takedowns, but as you know very few jiu jitsu gyms teach takedowns well, and I feel like my progress has been extremely slow.

Did you say you are a BJJ purple belt ? Nooooooo. I thought you were an early black belt. There is definitely a problem with BJJ and a need for an official standardize belt system,. Guys like you who get invited at adcc, ought to be black belt. Even simply from your skill set level, its black belt-ish.

New BJJ fear unlocked. Also have you tried a defogger spray? Try one for motorcycle visors

TBH is kinda fitting with googles given how sweaty these training rooms get.

Losing an eye grappling is the coolest id rather that then anything

Hey Brandon. Have you ever tried wearing rugby headgear along with the goggles? I scratched my cornea and found that goggles alone would always slide off but when I added the rugby headgear they would stay in place. Plus I think it looks pretty cool together.

AMBALANZ LOL

I have been spamming this question.

I accidentally scratched someone's eye during bjj. I felt really bad about it. luckily they walked it off and felt fine the next day And I've had 2 eye infections when I first started bjj from not being used to the dirty mats and not washing out my eye as soon as I felt something get in it. Now as soon as I feel like there's anything whatsoever in my eye even if it might just be an eyelash or tiny bit of dust I'll tap and say I need to wash my eye and go to the bathroom to wash it it out. My gyms mats only get swept like twice a day.

Would love to have you do a breakdown of Tye vs Nolf and Tackett vs Kade

That wrestler did really good 💪 :)

What goggles brand/model do you wear? I also had an eye injury a while ago and have been wearing racquetball goggles.

I like that you actually show set ups to the takedown. Much more useful than just showing the take down

You did a great job in the ADCC. You went toe to toe with Felipe Pena, the only guy who's ever beaten Gordon Ryan. When you slammed him down to the ground that was freaking AWESOME!!!

nice kipping escape to wrestle up from the bottom! that was a win in itself after being mounted with both elbows elevated above your head, a bad spot!

Love your stuff man. Congrats at ADCC. You surely fot Felipes attention with that double leg.

I understand why you were a little scared to completely engage 😂 i would have done the same thing

Damn 3 and a half years and you went to ADCC? Youre doing great and something to aspire to for sure

what kind of goggles do you use? do you have a video about them?

First of all, you did what you could given your exp vs his, but you tried your best. He played 'his game' and didn't want to wrestle with you at all. He prob did a quick google search and saw you were a wrestler so already your game is null from the start. Try to pace yourself as well. Outside passing is good vs city and maybe state level bjj guys, but at highest (regionals, aka those who place top 1/2 at trials), this wont work. Many has already built a style against explosive people and scrable heavy. Also each power move you did got you tired, which Pena exposed and results were points. So once he got you in mount, he's just making you tired. It's ADCC but this tourny does not favor wrestlers anymore, which is a shame. Would love to see you dunk him on his head, like Roger vs Chim chim (something for you to research). Try to work on grips and hand positions. YOu got the power to match him and he def wont submit you early. He waited for you to move and capitalize on each time you lowered your stamina. Try to bring your knee to his butt when he does open guard, stops his hips from moving and also a good way to him to crunch and feel his movement. Meaning if he moves you can back away and regain position again (similar way to fight against spider guard players). You were trying to jump north south without pressuring his hips or legs, hard against a dymanic guard like his. Keep up the good work, find big training partners with a good guard! As you said Pena vs Ryan, he pressured Pena from the start and stayed away from danger (which he drilled) against the bear trap. Always learn.

It was fun following your journey Brandon. Congrats

You did a good job bro

Brandon, you interested in coming on the Primal MMA podcast to talk about your recent exploration of Eco Approach?

Looks like a Sasae in Judo.

🔥

I wasn't going to watch adcc... now I am

Very cool, love these man, and was Just wondering about the shirt!

Great cues!

Thanks.

Beautiful, Just in time!

Hey your doing it know

I had my first tournament at Tap Cancer Out. My takedowns were pretty bad since I usually roll from the ground in class. That’s why I’m watching videos like this-to learn more about the beginning of a jiu-jitsu competition and everything on my feet. Man, I was bad. Ha. One loss, two wins, and a bronze-hey, I’ll take it. I can pull off the takedown drilling stuff in class when my partner is going with the flow, but when I’m up against a resisting opponent, everything falls apart. EVERYTHING. I recently started talking to my coach and training partners about this, and now I’ve got people willing to start on their feet with me. They’re giving me some solid resistance without trying to kill me. Videos like this are interesting because I had no idea this was even an option for preventing injury. I also just bought Danaher’s stand up instructional, for now that is TMI for me, but at least I have it. Thanks for making videos, your technique looks pretty solid!

Stance is key, never get out of stance! Thanks for the vids, I'm trying to develop standing grappling just as much as my ground game.

Thank you 🙏

Pure gold over here 👈

Hi Brandon, thanks for your content. Appreciate it

Here before you blow up.

Thank you Brandon. When you address front head locks in standing, could you talk about how to prevent your partner from coming forward? I've been double legged from time to time and don't know why. Thanks in advance.

Fantastic video as always, super interested on your take on the 4th line of defense. It hasn't been covered before and might be a great idea for a video, could help get more views in as well! Showing a couple options against the different shots would be wonderful.

No audio 😢

First things first is you need glasses otherwise you can't see your opponent. If you can't see your opponent then you must extend your hand and feel for them.

would you ever recommend purchasing a grappling dummy for solo drills and practice as a bjj white belt?

Just what Ive been looking for - body dynamics aren't demonstrated enough! Thanks coach.
