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.
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.
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!
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.
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 👍
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.
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.
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..
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
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
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.
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.
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
It’s so wild how all these guys are literally some of the best in the world and Craig Jones is just in a league of his own.
Man, he really is, without a doubt the second best grappler of all time
2nd place is lonely up there
He isn't tho Is he😂😂😂
@@gavingg4761 You must be from New Autism in Autist Texass huh

This format is amazing. It could potentially work in MMA too, but obviously very risky. So we’ll only see it happen in Russia.

It's amazing how quickly Craig acknowledges the tap and immediately lets go of the submission.
You know when you've got it.
Releasing the match so quick is legit. May subscribe for next quintet. Appreciate the brains at Flo.
I see what you did there
Craig breaking Boogie's leg is a ritual of Quintet every year 😂

facts
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.
@@vids595they are both, confirmed, on roids. Gordon just has better genetics
@@awerawer0708Craig is not on roids, he just likes to joke about it
@@awerawer0708 Craig needs to 4x his dose.
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
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.
it's borrowed from the Kosen Judo tournament style team elimination..
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.

20:40 Craig Jones vs Geo Martinez
Jay Rod is getting so good. He's starting to be my favorite B-Team member!
Wow congrats to Jay on his new silver medal. Rewatching this, Jay is gonna be best in the world for decades to come

Great performance in a really appealing quintet format.
Jay Rod is good at escapes but he does get caught a lot. Amir looked dangerous
“The master of edging himself Craig jones”😂
SICK legs-toehold mate. hoooollllly. Speedy recovery Richie! Both amazing teams.
Thanks for releasing the video. Earned a subscription.
JRod is taking on a dude 50 lbs heavier than him! Respect!
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?
Love you guys, for uploading this for free!
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😊
Great opening match. Amazing skills!
They need to make this series more often.
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
Jay is awesome, i just hope he still has use of his arms by the age of 30 😂😂
Craig is the best big brother and team leader.
Just lol at Eddie calling for rubber guard trash when his guys were in body locks. 😂😂😂
Thank you for posting these Flo!
Craig Jones showing off his Catch wrestling again: takedowns, top control and leg locks.
Looking like a world beater.
Can someone fill me in why heel hooks were not allowed in this?
I think Sakuraba made that demand to not have heel hooks.
I’m trying to figure out if Eddie is helping or hurting them
I really like Quintet. It's a fun format.
Craig Jones is such a showman 😂
22:00 Nice aerial shot Flo! Glad the ref did not block Craig riding Geo. Superb!
Hi level stuff is just amazing to watch. Thanks FloGrappling
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.
@@theKashConnoisseurit didn't look like it was effective here at all to me. What am I missing?
@@卡西学中文 You must have skipped the first two matches, or perhaps you just don't know what rubber guard looks like.

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
