This is an amazing series, I loved how you’ve kinda made a team out of everyone here with the videos. It feels like I watched them train and now I’m literally in the tournament arc with y’all and rooting for you so hard! When Mike got the armbar I audibly yelled fuck yeah 😆
Totally agree with the scoring comments. Only getting two points for passing into side/mount from standing should give more than doing it from sitting in their guard. The point system tends to force people into pulling guard which is pretty BLEH.
you get points specifically for passing opponent's guard, which you typically don't do from standup, even if you land in side control (a.k.a. "pass the guard in the air" in Tyler's rant, which perhaps we should all agree should be interpreted as no more than a joke). Honestly it's a bit like suggesting that in basketball if you score a free throw it should count for 3 points because you managed not only to score but also you're so good that nobody even tried to stop you, and "evidently" 2 points is a minimum a free throw should be worth, because the ball passed through the hoop, and in every other situation when ball passes through the hoop you score at least 2.
Yeah, I like the idea of scoring positions more than actions. Not sure how to work that with takedowns though because landing a throw into someone's guard would be no points under that format. 🤷♂
No not at all actually.. if you read the rules you would know that. 3 points for passing no points for sode control. You can even be in bottom side roll the other person over end up in top side control and you get zero points...
@@morganfrazer158 yup and If you manage to land in knee on belly giess what you get 4 all together. Sp annoying when coaches argue when they dont even bother to read the rules
I was on his @ss saying he can’t play old man BJJ at a tournament. Too short of rounds and these guys will score 2 then stall. I’m glad he broke out the bath salts
Mike did amazing especially against a brown belt. I agree with your rant about points. should be 2 for takedown and 3 for the guardpass. So basically, he should have won on points. You should also take a side job for drawing out tournament brackets. No more need for computer produced ones when your hand-drawn ones are superior. Question about Mike's takedown in the last one. Is he using a duck under single? (not sure if that's the name of it)
He just got his blue belt about a month ago, so we can’t give him anything else for at least two years 😅 he’s a good blue belt, but he needs to do better with some other blue belts at our gym.
I find scoring comments weird and too close to "but in a real fight it would actually..." Come on, it's just a rule set which is the same for everybody which is what counts. Changes would definitely open other questions (what if it's take down to side control and then immediate sweep? According to your logic surely the guy who's on top is "better off", so give him 6 points for that?) and I can't see how it would make this hobby substantially more fun than it is now. In any case give Mike his purple belt already!

Ah the classic shonen tournament arc 💀
4:04 mans couldn't hold in the laughter xD
Mate, you really have the "to be continued..." down pat. Love ❤️
Im ashamed to admit that i had seen you guys competing at this tournament and didnt come up to say how much i appreciate ur videos
Ahhh no worries mate. It would have been cool if you said hi, but I’m just glad you enjoy the videos!
Haha you ARE a damn artist in terms of BJJ, video-editing and dark humor, so you are good mate !
The point system screwed Mikey. Straight discrimination
Straight Asian hate

NUMBA ONE BOOLSHEETW

Hopefully Mike and I get a shot at each other at the next one!
Really digging this series. I’m just shy of a year into BJJ but this makes me think about competing
You should give it a shot!
Loving this video series. Cool to see people in a competition environment and love the commentary :)
I really like the tournament videos
Glad you do! Wish they got more traction
Matt won the gold with the most fake move of all🤣🤣
Jay would be so proud
I did not realize how far I had his shoulder
Mike went super Saiyan at the end
Keep them coming these help a lot with my training just started this week watched all your break downs. Feel great in the gym.
Would love to see a video of Matt giving white belts some of his tips on growth as a white belt 😊
"Learn how to get out of bad positions with the people that are better than you and get offensive reps in on those you are better than "
congrats on 15k
Thanks mate!
Great series looking forward to next video
I'm hooked to this series, and yeah that's bs that Mike only got 2 points for the takedown and not the extra 3 for holding side control.
No not at all actually.. if you read the rules you would know that. 3 points for passing no points for sode control. You can even be in bottom side roll the other person over end up in top side control and you get zero points...

Great technical rolling from mike
Love the final fantasy victory music 😂
Mike is a beast 😣 what background does he have ? wrestling?
No prior wrestling just jits
The wait is OVA!!
This was the same ref I was telling you about that DQ'd me in the finals for talking.
I knew it was a bad day when he was using ibjjf terms
Keep em coming bud. Start the next one with a who's that Pokémon!? It's bathsalt ben!!
had a pretty shitty day in bjj today watching this so i can improve great content
Thank you! Hope your next day is better!
@Greg Lurik I prefer xerath
I love this series but I hate that I have to wait. I’m so into it. I’m competing today and it’s so good to watch
"That's bool shit"
cliffhanger is killing me!
Eventually they will be over 😉
Nah, you can't lose from 9-0
Can’t wait for next video
Mike has really good takedowns. Surprised in your older video you refer to him as old man jujitsu in tournament he does play old man jujitsu
I was on his @ss saying he can’t play old man BJJ at a tournament. Too short of rounds and these guys will score 2 then stall. I’m glad he broke out the bath salts
This is the kind of content that was missing in the bjj community
mike is dope too. asian persuasion ftw.
Find out what happens. Next time On Dragon Ball GT 🐉
Throwbacks everywhere
Mikey hit the armbar i showed him a while back if you are in a Kimora you can always armbar baby good work boys! Jujitsu still fake 😒
The ol Matt Hughes
omg. that was so fun!!!!
Oh man the good ol IBJJF stall treatment
More illustrations please. lol

Bath salts Ben did not enter ?
He wanted to, but was too late for registration:(
Seems like Matt is a sandbagger. Is Matt a purple belt? Ha Ha what’s your opinion?
He just got his blue belt about a month ago, so we can’t give him anything else for at least two years 😅 he’s a good blue belt, but he needs to do better with some other blue belts at our gym.
