This was cool but honestly I appreciated his openness of "performance enhancers" the audio was trash but I wanted that content too! Their are options. Run it through AI! 🎉😂
This is legit one of the best Craig jones interviews. You can tell he really respects Derek and is a bit more direct about things instead of making everything a joke, but it’s still super entertaining. 👌🤝
derek you asked the best questions out of anyone ive ever seen interview craig. You got him to be serious for a bit and thats very hard to get him to do
I can barely keep up with the amount of podcasts that Craig has been on lately. You come home from work and he’s been on another multi hour podcast. He’s been working hard lately.
Did you guys even watch the interview? he's literally quoting Craig. Bro was describing how they wouldn't pull guard. Tbf though I love jits but guard pulling is single handedly the most embarrassing thing about the sport If adcc did one thing right it's limiting guard pulling
What Craig said about finding the right training partners, avoiding injuries and not overtraining at 32.0 minutes. This is especially true for older people. I am 53 Brown Belt and train with mostly guys half my age at a very competitive dojo. My professor is a high level competitor and we train high level and we make great effort train safe but injuries happen. I have a 70/30 rule.....70% roll with people who are at my level or lower and 30% with people above my skills. This works for me for longevity in this sport.
Thanks for having Craig on. Us Aussies love him. He’s like a soldier on a Covert Ops mission fighting for what we all believe in over here in Australia - fairness and transparency no matter what. We don’t see Craig as a pioneer of anything, we just see him doing things the way we would expect. I hope this sets a precedent in the BJJ space.
as it should be in any sport, Craig seems like a good egg and he's trying to push things forward in a positive, light-hearted motion. Need more of it everywhere
Never heard of Craig Jones until UA-cam recommended some CJI content and I clicked to watch. Glad I did. Craig is such a smart and intelligent guy who puts on his larrikin persona to enjoy himself and entertain everyone. This was a super intelligent, candid and entertaining sit down chat. CJI was really cool and I've been watching the replays that they've put on UA-cam. I hope they run it again and keep calling it the CJI because of all the hard work Craig did to get it to become reality. UA-cam has been recommending all these Craig videos and it's literally the man going to every big UA-camr to promote the event in a humorous and interesting way. Well done Craig and it was seriously fun watching him realising this event and have a ball with interacting and grappling with Gabi. 👏👏
Craig has a hilarious sense of humor… it’s almost like he realizing the BS and weirdness in BJJ and just rolls along with it all because he’s so damn good 🤣 when they were talking about the black belt and then Derek asks well what’s the pinnacle and he says “oh the red belt, but that’s like the highest level of Scientology” 💀
I like the questions you came up with, really interesting to know these things and im thankful for your work, giving some spotlight to bjj for your viewers.
I love Jiujitsu, but mostly stopped because it’s just too hard on my body as a 39 year old dude. I’d like to still be healthy enough to enjoy exercise if I make it to my 50/60/70’s
@@sus425 So to fall for this misconception, you need to take it at face value when people off-handedly call a combat discipline, a martial art with lethal potential, "gentle". And then not only that, you also need to assume it's not "gentle" on its target because it lacks striking, but rather "gentle" over the long term for the bodies of practitioners? Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm not worried about this huge misconception.
This was very different coming from Derek, but I enjoyed it and would love to see more of this transition in the future . Also Derek is looking more fit and healthy

Hey both microphones work
Only time this has ever happened in a video with Craig involved
@@colepatrick5433yeah, because it's on the mpmd channel
derek you asked the best questions out of anyone ive ever seen interview craig. You got him to be serious for a bit and thats very hard to get him to do
Exactly what I was thinking! Then again MPMD is a sponsor

Yeah this dude is legit 🤌🏻💪🏻

"Bro come over. My dad's a lawyer and lets us use his room to record."
😂😂
My Dad's a lawyer (and judge). He would never allow Craig within 100ft of his offices (or an elementary school for that matter). 😂😂
@@ThomasMartin-j6tthat show the lack of judgement your dad have
@madzkev3100 well, he sits in "judgement" of other people daily for his job. He's probs good with his life without Craig in it.
His dad is a lawyer?

ADCC pays the champions $10,000….the best woman gets $5,000. Craig Jones invitational is $1,000,000 for winner and $10,000 for everyone who shows.
Craig jones is hero of the people
*$10,001
That's why the organizer of adcc threatened to murder Craig.
Unexpected but very welcome collaboration
Craig needs as much reach and exposure as possible, this could be much better than adcc
Always a treat to see a notification from Derek
I can barely keep up with the amount of podcasts that Craig has been on lately. You come home from work and he’s been on another multi hour podcast. He’s been working hard lately.
Extremely deserved tho
Craig made getting a 🥈cool before the Turkish shooter

Well done! The first ever interview where CJ is serious and more importantly, stays on point.
Bro is gone for a month and comes back with some heat. I listened to Craig’s interview on Rogan and absolutely loved it!
thank you Derek, we can hear both of you
also brilliant questions
@@thelastchimp Agred. Derek and Craig go well together. Nice dynamic

Two of the most genuinely entertaining dudes. Glad they linked, a lot of cool shit could come of this
Love Craig been a member of the B-Team UA-cam page ever since he started it.. really really looking forward to this weekend
Dereks dropping the best podcasts of the decade
Agreed, flows well right?
The collab we never expected but the collab we needed
Derek’s audio quality is superb
Never thought about it but u rite
Love how simple and honest this guy is .

As soon as he said “do you know who Larry Wheels is” I thought of all the brave fallen soldiers who succumbed to his workouts
Bro I'm watching this the day after cji. Bro is fucking legend congrats what a show.
I hope this event goes really well. I hope people watch this year because I want to see volk and ghiles next year.
Audio on point. Thanks Derek

Two of my favorite dudes from different worlds on a podcast together... Small world.
Craig is the GOAT
Such a legend isn’t he
Love these dudes, real renaissance men of the 21st century.
I was impressed with Derek’s ability to interview a guest! Great questions
Fantastic interview
So awesome to have Craig on
This was an amazing interview. Thank you Derek for everything!
Absolutely incredible interview. Thank you both for this.
Hastings street is the best place to train for Bjj
Dope interview!!
I like the questions you came up with, really interesting to know these things and im thankful for your work, giving some spotlight to bjj for your viewers.
Really enjoyed this! 😊
Craig is really humble about how good he actually is. Makes high level black belts who are killers, look like people who have never done it before.
His game is fucking insane
@@IronAthleteCore Smooth as fuck
1:07:00 you can work a 8hr day on positivity but you can work a 12 hour day on pettiness 😂 that's perfect
Great interview!
He’s funny as hell I love this dude glad u are doing everything u do
The minoxidil is slowly turning Derek into a werewolf 😂.
Craig is a national jiujitsu treasure!
Best guest!
Amazing podcast, i feel for the people in the conflic and Craigs approach to being an ambassador to somthing like BJJ.
Thank you for supporting the BJJ community both monetarily and exposure-ally Derek 🙏🏻
thx Craig for the advice on training!
Gotta love the Hastings tweakers
Very informative podcast
I just learned that theres an mpmd spotify. What a fuckin treat
This is not the notification I was expecting but definitely one I wanted

Hey ! Derek’s mic works
One of the misconceptions of BJJ is that it’s very gentle on the body.
How is there a misconception that strangling and putting limbs under tension to breaking point, is gentle on the body?
@@7stringSkyline stick to video games

Babe wake up, Derek is alive
Was just in Toronto had no issue with accessing non Canadian news. They just blocked news on facebook
