- In this video a 260lb wrestler wanted to challenge some of our instructors (some of which he out weighs by 100lbs) Do we have what it takes or are we a McDojo about to be exposed?!?! Watch the video to find out!
"But I'm 260." Where else have we heard this?
but im 260 tho
but im 250 tho
@@johnfinn4178 That's not 260 bro.
I was a "high level" wrestler myself... and, just like this guy, I completely overestimated how much that would translate into BJJ. Fortunately I kept my mouth shut about it, and hence, there are no videos of me getting smashed/humbled on the internet! 🙂
Every person with a solid wrestling background I’ve encountered on the BJJ mats have been awesome. Difficult roles even with minimal jits experience…you can feel that body awareness and base…wish I had a wrestling background before I started BJJ.
I can't imagine the mindset that it takes to believe that only 8k in the entire world can out-roll you
If you've competed and proved something its easy to imagine. With this guys skillset it's delusional.
For real. I'm a bigger dude than him, been training for a long time, and even I know that there are way more than 8k dudes in the world who can beat me hahaha
And coincidentally 3 of them happened to be that gym. Talk about your bad luck. Lol
Maybe if he’s talking about specifically white belts
Even then tho… 😂😂
“155 and I just started”
Wrestled at a high level for 9 years and stopped before highschool. So he wrestled from age 5-14?
If you pause the video and read the messages he actually said he stopped in high-school. Unless there are other messages he didn't show I don't know why he said he quit before high-school
He's a wrestler so most likely he repeated the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade 2-3 times
@@James-xk8dy😂😂😂
It’s not uncommon for kids to be encouraged by their parents to wrestle from a young age and when they get to high school and have more independence quit. I’ve seen some very skilled wrestlers quit around 15-16years old.
@@andrewwightman7206 similar to me I quit my junior year too much pressure and I didn't enjoy wrestling as much as I used to now I am happing training muay thai.
This was handled incredibly well by everyone here. Even the guy admiting he was wrong before, and you guys not showing his face and not trying to hurt him.
The last roll was a classic Black belt rolling with White belt leaving tons of space but punishing mistakes, I just hope this guy understands that there are levels to this.
I don't know, I appreciate this sort of thing. He was honest with his experience, weight, and size... and honest about what he believed he was capable of. You guys humbled him, and he took it in stride, and his feedback wasn't negative or defeated -- he merely said, "I need to get better."
Kudos to you guys for everything, of course, but kudos to the guy for actually showing up.
Yes I agree. I can't imagine things going better than this. And I think it's cool, the "old school" way people would show up to challenge a gym. So long as egos are in check and waivers are signed...why not have some fun? Cool experience all around.
Bro was doing too much. Just come in and try some classes big dog
right
Preach
But he CBA to do fundamental or novice classes he's not a novice. He's trying to teleport to purple belt to skip warmups.
That sequence at 2:11 was as smooth as glass.
I can’t recount the number of people over the years that told me about their high level wrestling skills when they were 12 😂
He was 259 lbs that day. You got lucky. 😂
High level pre school wrestler. I love guys like this. Fortunately, these guys come in all flavors, boxing included, and always get tuned up.
1:30 That smile is pure evil lmao great vid
On behalf of... everyone, thank you for putting that man and his ego in place.
he has an ego, but seems pretty chill. and also acknowledged that he needs to get better, ie, he has a mindset for growth.
Thanks for acknowledging that this guy isnt actually high level. You even beat him even in the typical wrestling exchanges. This proves that your ego is solid and you have no need to try and shame the sport of wrestling itself. You are great guys and good athletes.
Well maybe, but he pulled guard almost everytime
This was PERFECT. I'm sick of gyms using this kind of thing as an excuse to humiliate and injure these guys. You just sparred the guy at a regular pace and kept it respectful. Respect 🙏
Great job setting this up as a demonstration for your gym, I think everyone learned a little something that day.
@@anti_Hype_334 how did he nerf his opposition? Also, early days the gracies were fighting people with literally no rules in their dinky Brazil gyms.
I'm assuming he didn't become a member
"wrestled at a high level and stopped before highschool" bruv what? 😂 i mean when someone says theyre a high level wrestler youd assume theyre d1 or d2 at the very least, but bro wasnt even a varsity high school wrestler for 4 years?
You can see the skill set difference between student and coach at 2:12.. how flawlessly got the butterfly hook in swept him and immediately took the back.. just beautiful transition
to be fair, the butterfly was nice but the guy just gave him the back trying to escape mount, typical first time rolling mistake. Wrestlers hate having their back to the mat and it can cause them problems when they first switch to bjj.
@@james-m3k agreed.. seen lot of wrestlers even judokas turning their backs in jiu jitsu flat on the ground.. it’s just an instinct and rule set of their sport
Big dude has an ego the size of mt everest lolol that mustve been humbling.
This was very wholesome.
I've always wanted to see something like this in real time. Had something close but not like this.
for sure he wrestled. idk at a very high level. buddy, aint got the explosive muscle fibers that wrestlers build up. That shit stays with you for life.
also, rolling to give up the back instead of bridging and bumps. Not very high level mindset.
wait a high level wrestler that showed no wrestling hahahah
he def wrestled but it was not high level
Coach Gannon famous now!!
@2:26 tackle and grapple 🤼 🥋
White-Belt here.
1:00 what is that move called and what is the proper technique for that?
Shoulder crunch to arm bar
Shoulder Crunch/Ude Gatame, the finishing mechanics require you either extend your opponent using your lower body or use your legs to control the shoulder and press them against the mat while you extend your body. But the guy couldn't control the 'high level' wrestler so he just transitioned to an armbar from bottom/guard.
I'm a BJJ purple belt so I once submitted the owner of a dojo (we were both no gi). Then I got kicked out and told i wasnt welcome there anymore. However, a few of his pupils left right afterwards coz they couldn't take their coach's defeat well.
He was a super white belt
The best part was when he was slowly being consumed and instructor turns to everyone else and starting saying "So my friends, this is the difference when-"... that had to be demoralizing to hear.
I don’t know much about wrestling and I’ve only been doing JiuJitsu for a year… But that big guy does not know much about either
guess they must be 2 of the only 8k people that can "beat him in a roll"
He wrestled at a high level BEFORE high school? 😂
All he had to do was just go to your gym and sign up for classes. He didn’t need to have an attitude like that.
100%. Would’ve been welcomed with open arms
Anyone that size and that “experience” even if not jits just wrestling…that engages that way online and brings that kind of energy when they are a newcomer to a place has likely got some sort of personality disorder…I’d be steering clear of that dude on the mat and in life
“High level wrestling” before high school hahahahahahhahahahah I was a fucking hammer in 5th grade stopped in 8th grade now I’m 25 looking to snap necks and cash checks
same dude messaged me i told him basically the same thing you did and we basically set the same time! what a weird guy! i wished he picked us
It's a humbling sport
He said only 8k people in the world could out roll him… so 0.0001%?
I’ve wrestled and this guy doesn’t look very high level at all, how can he claim to be high level if he didn’t wrestle in high school 🤦
My C-Tier guys would handled this dude. He needs ALL the classes.
This guy's ego must of been insane lmao i wonder what echo chamber he has been in all his life. I don't want to 'waste my time as a white belt', literally said 'no ego only 8k people can beat me'. hahaha
This was amazing 😂
To the unexperienced...they don't understand the phrase 'there are levels to this game' until they actually roll against a black belt in BJJ. Just gotta watch out who he goes against his first year cause he will spaz on the smaller guys and actually injure someone as he gets better but his ego hasn't improved.
9 years before high school is experienced but I wouldn't call it high level.
Did he sign up?
He tried. We told him no
Wrestling is in my opinion a lot better than Jiu Jitsu. BJJ school are mostly very lazy and laid-back, whilst wrestling team are pushed like theres no tomorrow, for seemingly no reason. That builds mindset.
Of course pure BJJ would win in a fight with pure wrestler. But if we're talk about learning, a wrestler would learn BJJ way faster than BJJ practician learn wrestling. That's why modern MMA ruled by wrestler.
I guess my point is, you acting like BJJ is superior than wrestling, maybe you're right. But if Sambo was easy, it would be called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Nobody said Jiu Jitsu is better than Wrestling. We train wrestling and judo as well as Jiu Jitsu.
We only posted this as an example of how not to approach a Jiu Jitsu academy. We have a lot of respect for Wrestlers and Judoka
I don't think he deserved the statment: HIGH LEVEL honestly... He wrestled couple of years in young age...So please give the right infos...Thanks
That was from him not us
@@NexusAJJ excuse me; you did title the video... So you wrote that
it is in quotes, because he messaged us saying that. You're excused Chris
@@NexusAJJ No worries, appreciate that
So he hasnt really wrestled before lol
Damn, I love wrestling, but at least be humble in trying something new, even if you think it’s stupid.
I knew how this was going to go when I saw his face blurred lol.
So did he sign up? Lmao
@@anti_Hype_334 you’re trolling right
We didn’t let him sign up anyways. Not the attitude we are looking for
@@NexusAJJ why not let him sign up and then just explain what the correct attitude is? He didn't look like he rolled unsafe but you may have seen something i didnt. I like that he just asked to roll and see if it's worth his time. Why learn from a place that's techniques won't work in application. It's unusual but i don't think his thought process is completely illogical.
High level wrestling is Division 1 in college or olympic. Ive wrestled for 40 years at every level. You should be ashamed. He didnt even compete in high school.
imagine what old school Gracie Gyms did 😭. Would have been way worse. This was nice compared to back then.
This dude doesn’t seem like that good of a wrestler based on what we get to see in this lol
I think it’s us when someone says they’re been wrestling at a very high level for 9 years and then stop in High School? Is grade school high level wrestling these days?
Wrestlers 😂
Did the same thing a year ago to a ‘high level’ wrestler
"Insanely good at wrestling"
Eddie bravo's skills are very good for high skilled wrestlers who does not know BJJ well.
@@anti_Hype_334 Brock Lesnar understand Bjj after he tapped out by Frank Mir.
@@anti_Hype_334 Of course Brock Lesnar employed phonomenal BJJ coach ,after his first loss And then He became monster. This is BJJ match but you still talk about MMA. MMA and BJJ is very different. Who don't you mention about Gordon Ryan vs Brock Lesnar. What do you think about it?
Everyone is welcome in my practice room. Its not a competition in practice. Jui Jitsu has no class. Of coarse you beat someone who hasnt competed since he was 13, High level wrestling my ass.
😂😂😂
Damn, way to tame a spazzy wreslter.
yikes
Nothing better than seeing an overweening ego disintegrate just like that.
Hahahaha amazing
im 260 tho
There is no such thing as a “high level” wrestler before hogh school.😂😂😂😂😂 what a clown.
Get humbled wrestler now see if he actually joins and sticks with Jiu Jitsu getting submitted every practice
Yeah, how dare I defend myself in the comments 😂😂😂
You may also keep your comments to yourself ❤️
We didn’t let him sign up. Not the vibe we are looking for tbh 👍
@@anti_Hype_334 You’re right. The massive positive community reaction is wrong and you are right. Soak it all in
You're not supposed to get submitted in practice? I must be worse than I thought then
high level lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 coaches said light work
😂😂😂
