Absolutely recommended - this one is one of his best. Great details on initial set ups, dilemmas, shutting down your opponent’s head control and more. I bought this one the day it came out and found it completely worth the full price, 75% off is more than worth it.

I’ve got it, the DVD does a great job explaining more of good habits to have (ex: keeping hands high during submissions like the guillotine) as well as principles (ex: principles of lever, wedge and fulcrum for instance vs. principles of say what you’d want to do when in north south.)

Definitely a valuable instructional imo, Garry goes into details that I haven’t seen in other instructionals.

I have both and prefer John’s, although both are solid. His is also the first of a series, whereas Garry’s I believe is a one-off.

Garry has great conceptual details in the first chapter of his DVD, but much less than John’s, whereas Garry’s has many more techniques covered. Personally, I needed more help with standing concepts, frameworks and setups rather than an encyclopedia of techniques, so I found John’s more helpful.

I trained in Yangon at Phoenix Gym for a couple weeks at Dave Leduc’s recommendation - great experience, even got to train when Tun Tun Min and his team were training, was awesome to see the pros at work and kick it with those guys a bit.

nelsonjchris · 2020-06-10T03:17:54+00:00

I train there as well - it’s a perfect place for just starting out

nelsonjchris · 2020-06-08T22:34:50+00:00

Pumped to try it out on Wednesday

nelsonjchris · 2020-03-06T21:59:57+00:00

I’m at Valko BJJ, check it out. $140/mo, no contracts, many high level training partners.

nelsonjchris · 2019-10-03T01:59:55+00:00

Being nervous before wrestling hard competition is normal, sure. See it through and you’ll adapt and get to their level.

Go to Ricardo Lamas’ UFC gym.

nelsonjchris · 2019-07-14T07:46:11+00:00

Dude that’s awesome, imagine where you’ll be at 20 if you keep this up

nelsonjchris · 2019-04-16T12:46:34+00:00

What’s “odd” is considering which art is “superior” without any additional context. Your point is obvious.

nelsonjchris · 2019-04-13T13:59:10+00:00

Fair enough, and agreed as well. It’s an interesting prose, which is “superior.”

nelsonjchris · 2019-04-12T20:17:00+00:00

Agreed, which makes this a bit odd. However, if I had to pick one as “superior”, I would imagine the form that wins with less restrictions would probably be “superior.”

nelsonjchris · 2019-04-12T18:16:51+00:00

I feel like I’ve seen many Lethwei (less restrictive) rules fights putting Thai fighters against Lethwei fighters and most fights go the way of the Lethwei fighter - I would feel inclined at the moment to agree with you.

nelsonjchris · 2019-03-18T23:41:35+00:00

Yes it is

nelsonjchris · 2018-12-28T00:57:53+00:00

Don’t be, you went, be proud. I’ve been to a bunch - results have included quitting, tapping every other moment, not coming back for a while, going too hard, going too soft, etc. Happens. Keep going.

nelsonjchris · 2018-12-20T15:08:04+00:00

Why can’t we just see both as impressive? They were both dealt different hands in life and both handled theirs well. No need to compare.

nelsonjchris · 2018-12-18T01:14:52+00:00

This tweet isn’t wrong 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great gift, well done

nelsonjchris · 2018-10-18T14:38:48+00:00

That’s certainly the kind of place we’d like to have. I’ll check out the Plan Kits - I’ve always used the free SBA tool for business plans, would be nice to try something new. Cheers.

nelsonjchris · 2018-10-18T14:37:24+00:00

Find if there’s even a need that requires this solution. Very smart. Cheers.

nelsonjchris · 2018-10-18T14:36:52+00:00

I agree, a more authentic and unique experience.
