Only thing I’m confused by is why they didn’t have jay rod and Nicky rod’s opponents switch? 230lb Vs 183lb jay and 230lb nicky vs 175lb guy from 10th that’s a huge weight difference match them up with weight
What's hilarious is Eddie made a secret format back in the day so The opponents in competitions wouldn't know what their referencing. He must have forgot his own strategy.
Seeing someone with special needs being included in a sport like this warms my heart. Also everyone let the victory go to the special boy. Craig is such an inspiration! 17 minutes without air when he was born only, knows 600 words in the Australian-English dictionary and still is able to compete,.. what a hero. Craig you are a pillar of the special needs community. We are proud!
Jay Rod is really impressive. His skills don’t seem to shine on the B Team channel vids, but his escapes were really on point. Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how lucky we are to have Craig Jones.
He has tons of cardio and explosiveness, but it seems to be physicality more than anything. Got into a lot of submission while attempting none. The Rod brothers are more about power than technique. The other members are super technical though. Josef Chen was great
@@TC-bv4on bro almost got submitted by someone twice his age, more than once. C’mon now. He’s super explosive and mobile, but that goes away sooner rather than later. He’s great to watch, but he’s far from Nicky Ryan, Craig or even Jozef.
I had never seen Amir but that was super fun to watch and great defenses into back and mount takes by Jay Rod. That may have been my favorite of the matches today. Amir just seemed so smooth def a fan now
@@EverythingisFire I hope you do take some classes with him! We trained together at 10P HQ many years ago -- he's a very intelligent guy...and absolutely HILARIOUS! I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun & learn a lot from him.
I don't watch grappling too much, but this format is definitly fun and they bring good names here. Would love to see Craig take on Gordon again some day, but he does need that natty strength that Nicky Rod has.
This is the first time I’ve ever sat down and actually watched jiu jitsu for more than a few minutes. Was very entertaining even though I have no idea what is going on which is good for the sport 👍
Super impressed with Amir's game.. was a very entertaining match. Both Martinez brothers going into leg entanglements with Craig just baffles me... Super interested in the gameplan there..
You can see a pretty decent shot of Craig Jones' under the leg toe hold and why it's so effective against Martinez's single leg x at 19:14. By reaching back and under his own left leg, he can use his hamstring to put more breaking pressure on Martinez's ankle. He extends his left leg, and in doing so, amplifies the pressure on the ankle much more than would be possible with arms only. The guy's a genius.
Isn't 10th for MMA? Idk shit about jiu jitsu but how much does size play a part. From my untrained eye I see the red dudes keeping it tight and muscling their way in
wow awesome strategy B team! looks like they defend leg locks w back attacks! theyre not afraid of leg attacks so they focus in passing, subs from top or back attacks
With heel hooks illegal, the whole leg lock game becomes odd ( the game these guys would normally go for against bigger opponents) When you know they can't heel hook, you can defend most leg locks by exposing your own heel and kind of hanging out in positions that normally wouldn't be safe (Craig's last match showcased this really well). So for Jay Rod, he did really well but the types of attacks he could do from mount/technical mount just aren't easy against a big guy shoving you off.
@@tjgadner8896nobody in BJJ will ever want to teach things to someone that doesn't pay any attention at all. If you listened to this video then you had the answer before your mouth farted.

Thats pretty solid advice. Ive been training for about 4 years and still break a couple of these Like today i re used some wraps without washing them. Dont do it 😅 i did it because ive had a recent change in living situation and i feel guilty about it Oh and it your say 6 months in or just skirting that line between brand new and starting to get to grips with it, learn to train with the new guys I was training today and theres a 14 year old lad couple months in getting frustrated with another new beginer because they were holding pads with eachother and the newer lad wasnt doing it "correct" In this specific scenario okay you cant work that perfect boxing combo the coach is telling you but instead of getting frustrated throw as much of the combo you can and move, make an angle let the guy move and reset and go again You get to practice your footwork and without knowing it so does your training partner practices his Because the better the lads your training with get the better you get aswell
Craig is awesome. Even though there is still Gordon, the god of this field, Craig is awesome. It seems like he released regardless of the tap cause he knew it has already ended way before his opponent did.
i absolutely love the fact that craig jones constantly talks about how he sucks at jiujitsu and has garbage cardio and never trains, and then he competes and fucking wrecks shop like it aint no thing
This format is amazing. It could potentially work in MMA too, but obviously very risky. So we’ll only see it happen in Russia.

I see what you did there
By far the most exciting format for Jiu Jitsu
This is great entertainment for free, exactly what this sport needs.
Did he really just call Craig the “master of edging “
The other commentator kind of chuckled at him for saying that lol
Lol what did he say "indeed"?
yes hilarious lol
im the master of edging too when im on crystal meth
It's amazing how quickly Craig acknowledges the tap and immediately lets go of the submission.
You know when you've got it.
Dude, this guy craig is pretty good. He should definitely compete competitively, i could definitely see him ranked 2nd maybe even 1st worldwide....
I could definitely see him taking 2nd but idk, 1st is pushing it
1st if not for Gordon being giant form steroids. Although Gordon is amazing even without steroids so its not certain.

it's borrowed from the Kosen Judo tournament style team elimination..
Awesome stuff to watch, and the gamesmanship between Eddie n Craig “That’s illegal Craig!!” 🤣🤙🏾
I was most surprised with Amir’s movements and flexibility being a bigger dude. He was chaining different attacks although he couldn’t get the sub.
Not only big, he's 39. Impressive.

This is the first time I’ve ever sat down and actually watched jiu jitsu for more than a few minutes. Was very entertaining even though I have no idea what is going on which is good for the sport 👍
Craig Jones is an absolute legend. Not quite as good as Gordon on the mat but 1000 times better personality 👊🏼
Thats because Craig exists firmly outside of the goldilocks zone as far as autism and BJJ skills are concerned lol😊
Jay Rod is getting so good. He's starting to be my favorite B-Team member!
Quintet deserves way more attention than the combat sports world gives it.

That limb defense is something else
And choosing the 8 min duration for the match despite it
They were talking about Allam’s combination of strength and flexibility as if Jay isn’t rolling with Nicky Rod every day lmao
Plus that guy was fresh when Jay Rod already had a full match
Ya'll realize that dude is like 39 right?
Wow congrats to Jay on his new silver medal. Rewatching this, Jay is gonna be best in the world for decades to come

Interesting that the Original 10th planet techniques like electric chair, lockdown, twister etc. not survived at that level
at 1 point Craig had twister setup against Kyle but used it as a transition if im nor mistaken
You're ignoring the fact that Eddie also invented the Rubber Guard, which was constantly and effectively employed throughout the competition.

Thumbs up all day to flo for posting these
Craig Jones is such a showman 😂
Jay rods passing and pace are insane I just wonder why he didn't try for a single submission for most of the match
Amir has like 50lbs on him. J Rod was just struggle to maintain any positions.
With heel hooks illegal, the whole leg lock game becomes odd ( the game these guys would normally go for against bigger opponents) When you know they can't heel hook, you can defend most leg locks by exposing your own heel and kind of hanging out in positions that normally wouldn't be safe (Craig's last match showcased this really well).

Dig this format. Strategic thinking in the line setup.
Incredible show by both 🙏👏
The stamina and intensity on Jacob rod is WILD. If you’ve sparred hard for 2 mins you’ll know how wild that 8 mins intensity was
When u wrestle 6 minutes consistently 8 minutes of jiujitsu is nothing
The first match is fire.
Can someone fill me in why heel hooks were not allowed in this?
I think Sakuraba made that demand to not have heel hooks.
