Hey Tony 👋 I just have a question for you. And I sincerely request an honest answer from your side. Do you think Lee Morrison from UC can beat Andrew Tate in a Street fight? Your answer would be sincerely appreciated 🙏
Hiya Tony, I've trained martial arts since I was 11 years old. Started in karate, a bit of boxing. Switched to jujitsu aged 16. Reached 4th dan. Not BJJ but have dabbled in that too. Love your channel. I'm a fellow northerner from Carlisle! Would love you to try out kenpo or JKD when you're back in LA too. Keep up the good work mi amigo.
@@Tony_Jeffries Hey Tony 👋 I just have a question for you. And I sincerely request an honest answer from your side. Do you think Lee Morrison from UC can beat Andrew Tate in a Street fight? Your answer would be sincerely appreciated 🙏
love to see how Tony went from a top level boxer to a well rounded martial artist, keep exploring new things so we can keep learning from you and getting inspired.
I have boxed for years, and started bjj when you did last march, but missed boxing and went back. I realised ive had my time boxing.and will be starting my bjj journey next week at the age 35 and be commited. I love following your journey champ. Your inspiring 🤝
The way Tony is so open minded he tries out jiu jitsu and Muay Thai. What a legend, not scared to look like a noob in something he doesn’t have experience in
Lmao at the end it looked like he was gonna give you a sub, then you got him in an armbar and..... slipped. Made me laugh at loud. You're a great content creator!
As a BJJ black belt, I recommend the opposite approach. I found my beginning in the sport, which was a no-gi to gi path, very advantages. I started jiu jitsu so that I could fight in mma but after a few fights I gravitated more towards jiu jitsu and felt that almost everything you can do in no-go translates well into gi smoother than the reverse. In other words, people who start in a gi are at a disadvantage to those who take the reverse approach, and in my humble opinion, it comes down to grips and pace.
I would have to disagree, simply because I can do everything wearing a gi that you can do in nogi but not the other way around so usually when a nogi guy puts a gi on he drowns quicker than the other way around
I have been fighting in mma, training and competing in BJJ since 2005 and my experience is the opposite, gi guys hit the wall when the gi comes off because they are so dependent on it. I can admit that when I made the switch to gi I found it frustrating how slow it was and how easy it was for my opponents to hinder my pace but again all my no gi attacks worked but when the gi came off gi guys have more difficulty dealing with the pace and lack of grips. All that said I think there is a benefit to training both but personally I would focus on no gi.
BJJ and MMA legend Ryan Hall agrees with you @mullm5375 He claims that starting in gi will tend to make people very "grippy" so they don't learn proper weight distribution and body mechanics to control their opponent.
@LeWafelaar Yeah, I know that a lot of guys who were introduced to the sport in a gi don't like that bitter reality, but it's just how I and many other successful grapplers see it. The gi is holding people back as far as I'm concerned.
But in real life most people are wearing clothes to do collar chokes or pull over their head. Ive choked out wrestlers using the shoulder straps on their unitard.
8 submissions from a former world champion in 6 minutes isn't actually that bad to be honest lol The thing I found interesting was that you could see the old boxer in Tony pivot himself into good striking positions using his incredible footwork. I think in a real fight situation, he would be very useful as he has got all the balance for good short sharp punches that would still drop people.
@@croatianwarmaster7872 of course he went easy, as any good trainer should. I'd rather get tapped 8 times in a row than take 8 hooks in a row from Tony to be honest!
@@michelhadid Really well! I'm still not 100%. Quad muscle is at about half of what my good leg can do. But, the progress is going much faster now. I'd guess I'll be back at BJJ in 2-3 more months.
Just reached my two stripe white belt in BJJ and man it’s been an insane journey man!! Hope you’re enjoying it too!! (Me and a few of the guys do some low key boxing after a few rolls too! Thanks for the tips; it always throws them for a loop!)
Ellis's dad has just sent me this video Tony, hats of to you for learning a new sport. Unbelievable what Ellis has achieved and it's great to see my friends boy accomplish what he has 👏
If you continue with no gi, I recommend picking closed guard as your guard of choice, 1 loose pass and 1 smash pass technique and the head and arm choke from side control/mount and triangle from closed guard. Closed guard is easy to enter into and the triangle is the easiest submission to land from closed guard. Then once you're passed i find the head and arm choke to be a good beginner submission as it teaches you to separate the arms from the body.
Great part about Jiu Jitsu its very safe to continue to improve even at an older age. Striking styles still can help out but you can still be pretty deadly or just improve health wise in Jiu Jitsu.
you are a inspiration. You stepped out of your comfort zone and you don't mind being exposed. I am a bjj brown belt (nogi) and I also fight boxing. i love your channel greetings from Spain
My grandfather was a capable and somewhat known wrestler during the third Reich in Germany. They used to pit wrestlers like him against boxers. He always used to say that wrestlers would wipe the floor with boxers if they didn't knock them out before the takedown. A point worth noting is that boxers had a different stance back then which helped them react somewhat better against takedowns.
Yes this is true. At one point throwing and certain other techniques were allowed so old school boxers would have their hands lower to defend throws etc.
Hey Tony, this is a great move. A great master piece of a move to learn a different Fighting System/ Skill. You see, people respect & listen, when an exponent is good at more different styles of fighting. Best Wishes. And you have many fans in India, including me. ❤❤
That's the mindset of a successful person! Being brave and willing enough to put on a white belt again and tame one's ego! Well done sir. And no, I never thought you'd be able to submit him, no more than I, someone who's never put on boxing gloves could knock you out in a boxing match! I've done BJJ 5 years, it's a beautiful art but tough going.
You’ve got a skilled athlete with proven ability to learn, move, adapt and think under pressure, in Tony Jeffries. And we have the privilege of watching him learn something completely new, and for me, I reminisce about when I started bjj, how I felt, and what the process is like. It’s very cool
@@kykise1395 yeah that’s the point. BJJ guys have no issue “proving” that they can beat everyone else when they make others fight their BJJ game. So now we need to remind them that there’s more to fighting than grappling on the floor.
Good job mate! Getting used to being uncomfortable is all part of martial arts. I started a second one recently to compliment taekwondo. I took up Wing Chun; very different from what I'm used to.
your Physic is lookin good tony! I started jiujitsu around the same time last years as u, and I like following your journey. Im really liking this diversified content!
30 days of Taekwondo soon mate? 😉 Great mix of fitness, flexibility and training. It consists of 3 main forms: Patterns: which help with mental focus and coordination. Sparring: semi-contact depending on organisation. Pad work. Its a very rewarding martial art and one hell of a workout. Finally, if you find an ITF or TAGB school, your boxing will come in handy.
It is great to know different martial arts. I have tried many and boxing suits me most. You can use them in different situations. I don't regret learnig any. It's a great video
Loving the BJJ content, and to be fair, Ellis is probably good enough to submit most people several times in a round. Even though you're a white belt, you looked solid! I reckon blue belt isn't too far around the corner.
Ive done 6 yrs boxing 1 yr muay thai 6 months grappling some time back ,i think jujitsui completes a lot of technical knowledge its very clever , knife attack through a wing chun instructors in kevin chan down portsmouth could be an idea
Ellis fed you kimuras several times in mount, you should try to go for more arm kimuras and americanas from the bottom if you can sit up, they're almost an instant tap because let's face it, nobody wants their arm snapped and kimuras are so effective. I'm the opposite of you, I have been training for less time but I have only done no-gi, and I'm waiting to expand into Gi training, However, I do feel that Gi is harder to get submission so I feel I should have done it the other way around, thoughts on this ? Also, when ellis had a kimura on you at around 13:10 that roll technique you did of untangling your own arm from him by rolling over into it, Is an extremely effective way of avoiding the kimura in no-gi. Also, how was your swim ? Loved the video though, and I do fully recommend learning both gi, and no-gi within the space of BJJ, even only 1 session of no-gi a week is enough if you're also doing Gi most of the time. You can learn more from sparring I feel than the actual training once you know enough, so maybe try and do open mat session with no gi.
Haha that was an awesome fun roll. I prefer no gi. The gi feels like I'm sparring in a bathrobe, it's so heavy and thick. It's also hot as hell when you roll with it in the summer.
Do you think I could submit Ellis, a World Champion in NO GI?

Sorry Tony there is levels and that dude is a savage. I was rooting for you tho!
@@cheyennestone2739 Well we all know what happened to grapplers who tried to box.But fair play to both
No. But, more reps will get you closer and closer!

Hows the knee going?

Was going to skip training tonight but saw this video and went anyway. Got my second stripe! Cheers
Never ever skip training unless you really have to, you will regret it later on in life if you skip training like that

Hell yeah Tony 😎👏. Jiu-jitsu is a different type of cardio.
11:28 the emotion of being uncomfortable took over, gaining him the position.. a straight man if ever i've seen one.

@@johnabrossimow Wilhelm Klein. He tried out for the national team at the time and wrestled until the second world war and for a little afterwards.

Let’s gooooo I love to see it, thanks man for the content.
Coming from a striker/grappler
great club, great bunch of lads, i have been out of it for a few years , first session back rolling this week and i was hanging out
Great to hear mate, you mean u train there?
Nothing to be embarrassed about getting tapped that many times in no gi. It’s a whole different game and much faster paced.
Great video!
Love your channel. Respect for putting yourself out there and having so much fun with experimenting. 👊
You are a great man Tony - always willing to go learn new stuff - open to new different ideas
you looking at the clock with 17 seconds to go saying "i still got time" makes you the real winner!
@9:24 Tony, as AMAZING as Ellis is, his initial preference to SIT and pull guard is YOUR advantage...if you add striking into the "mix".
That was fun! Great video Tony 🙌👍
True bravery man, luv yer channel. Ever learning, the spirit of a champion there, cheers
Everything you do in No Gi you can do in the Gi, so really learning both is beneficial.
Tony, I love your Jiu jitsu videos! Keep them coming 👊👊👊
For the next one do BJJ vs Boxer (standup only, strikes allowed).
What? Standing up the boxer is obviously going to win. Jiu Jitsu is only effective on the ground.

You did great champ. You have come far in a year.

awesome that you're trying it out. it's a blast.
Uh oh!! Love this journey for you bro! I just got my blue belt last week! Keep going!

This is what I've been waiting for
love to hear u still trainin bjj :) awesome keep it up
Tony thinking he had a chance at that bet is hilarious (writing this before seeing the end cos I don’t have to) 😂
Those are some lovely shrimps from the mount and I like the way you bump before you set it up mate
had to skip a few session cus of school so this was just the content i needed.
I still remember my first BJJ class 4 years ago, you feel like you're uncontrollably drowning haha. Been training BJJ and MMA since 👌
Great job! Would love to see you coach Ellis up in the ring. Fair play!
plunge recovery gonna be insane
Well done Tony, you knew you had no chance against a black belt. Good effort though mate 👍🏼
A closer bet might be you get one sweep or guard pass on him. Rolling with black belts as a white belt is like fighting a waterfall.
I am so glad you did not stop with BJJ. Champ mindset.
This video is awesome. Definitely a silly bet but much respect to you for making it lol. Good stuff Tony!!
Hey I love your videos I've been getting better because of your videos. Keep it up ❤
What a development my friend, the Arabic, English, French and Hindi dubbing is really great. Well done
You are a man of your word 😊

he was taking his time so much too... stud
arm triangle is my favorite submission
It’s the same, the grips are just different and the gi gives you extra submissions with the lapels and sleeves
Great content 🙏

Well done Tony put it on. Soon champ of bjj
The way that guy moves makes the video look sped up - crazy
Yeah mate, he is great at this
You got to get back to Rener and Ryron’s Tony! Be great to have you on the mat there
excellent round! 💪💪
Mad that you actually thought you would submit the blackbelt.
Tony would have obliterated him if he wanted to, he showed mercy. Top bloke Tony.
What a legend not afraid to get out of his comfort zone and give it ago 👊😎
Expanding you arsenal, yessir💪
Absolutely mate, wanna learn more

Great vid!
You inspired me to try bjj. Cheers Tony!
Grandes palabras al final del BJJ hacia el boxeador
Great video
That’s cool
Haha that was an awesome fun roll. I prefer no gi. The gi feels like I'm sparring in a bathrobe, it's so heavy and thick. It's also hot as hell when you roll with it in the summer.
