This is the last thing a corndog hears before Craig goes to town

[@drsssssssss]

Great stuff! As a 51-year-old black belt, I started at 41, doing inversions and guard and leg locks. It kept me competitive all the way until today, even against the younger guys. But I’ve noticed over the last year or so, the introduction of wrestling, wrestling up, etc… has really made things far more difficult for my game. I simply can’t wrestle up fast enough or win scrambles against the younger guys. Even blue belts give me a lot of trouble now. I’m glad to hear you guys talk about the transition of the game and the art. I can definitely see two streams developing between those that do the wrestle/jj game and the guard /pass players. And it may have everything to do with the age and ability, and those who compete and those who are doing this for a hobby.

[@drsssssssss]

@@JC-wj5os it's because of competing...I jumped right in the first day and won quite a bit at each belt. My professor didn't want me sandbagging so promoted me. The sport is passing me by now though.

[@uncircumcisedcircus]

@garrett tringale in 2023 people are buying New Wave and B Team instructionals. But if you listen to his instructionals, he is the guy 2nd to John in terms of knowledge. He was a world champion in a gi, an ADCC medalist, and currently competes in the UFC. The whole point to Jiu Jitsu is to be viable in MMA. Honorable mentions: Rafael Lovato Jr, Gilbert Burns, Damien Maia, Fabricio Werdum, Nogueira, Jacare etc etc. If people think butt scooting is a great idea then they will disagree with my statement.

In premiere effects, there is an audio effect where you can make an audio track that only recorded to one side into a stereo track. depending on the side, it'll either be "Fill right with left" or "Fill left with right".

[@RepublicDave]

Nice that you managed to have the authentic BJJ Fanatics breathing in the video!

[@Patrick33456]

Great points towards the end about learning specific techniques vs letting your body learn through trial and error while rolling. As a newish purple belt, I struggle to find an interest in 95% of classes taught at my gym. I feel awful about it but it feels like most people I train with are much better than me and learning reactions and reflecting on what worked/didn't work after is the only way to really learn. I'm a hobbyist, I'd probably want more specific training if I was competing but it doesn't seem necessary. Ideal world would be unlimited open mats followed by reflection/note taking and then privates to to discuss any roadblocks. I don't want to learn the details for finishing a triangle when I never even try for it.

[@rangdog01]

I'm also a purple belt hobbyist (3 years purple) and I feel the same. Although we have one class at our gym that is only for more experienced people, taught by a new-ish black belt that is where I get most of my new techniques. Nicky Rod said something similar in a pod cast a year or so ago about how that is how he learned the most was talking to people in the blue basement after live rolling. Makes sense. But at my gym, it's just non-stop shit-talk after training. Which is also fun I suppose.

[@vonfitbjj-podcast-clips]

Man I'm wrestling kids and 20 year olds at almost 40. I don't think it's the wrestling itself I definitely agree it's the training partners. Just being able to standup effectively is great for self-defense. Great interview 👏🏿

[@RudyWarman]

Great chat. Think the audio could be EQ'd better though.

[@SpiralBJJ]

I know you mentioned the task / constraints oriented style a little here and on Lex’s podcast, but I’d love to hear more of your opinion on Greg Souders’ purely using the Ecological Approach.

[@duckpk10]

Somthjng that's happing with the audio is that dynamic range compression being applied to both mics means that when one person talk the other person's microphone turn up the background ambient noise. You can hear this when the brief moments they are both making sound the background noise ducks. Using a gate appropriately would treat this issue.

[@Krambo19]

Please for the love of God, get a better mic setup. I was not prepared for ASMR

[@ithappenedbychance]

Yo guys, these mics record 2 audio sources but they record into the Left and Right channels. When you edit the audio you need to convert it to be "dual mono", that way when you wont be hearing Craig's audio in your left ear and Lachlan in your right. Great interview though.

[@AntoineHorns]

The sound is perfectly bad. Bad enough to notice that it's bad, but not bad enough to hinder understanding. And the stereo is mixed up. It feels like it was done exactly this bad on purpose, and if so it was masterful.

[@TheKlane94]

I was doing 2 a days and ice bath and sauna in between a couple of days per week. I think the ice bath and sauna is a fairly straining thing to do when training a lot. Especially sweating and heat exposure side of things. I felt like I literally burnt out from training a lot and trying to get the sauna and ice bath in. Idk.

[@paulilicious94]

Probably gotta get more electrolytes and potentially calories into you maybe mate. Sweating that much every day is tough on the body, BJJ on top of that as well is next level, so if your training often and supplementing your training with hot/cold therapy regularly, look after yourself.

[@TheKlane94]

@@paulilicious94 for sure, I drink hydralite and would mix some sea salt in my water. I think it was mostly the eating though that I would struggle with the most, as you said. I've gone to just 2 a day once per week for now. Thanks for response 🙏

I’m 39 and I can still go fully inverted no problem…it depends on how you train your flexibility and recovery. I’ve rolled with 45 year old black belts who spent most of the match upside down…. Genetics and luck might help as well.

[@TheOddStranger]

Heyy!!!!!!!! You should record all those rolls (Nicky vs Lachlan) and maybe someday when some algorithm will search the youtube to delete content that should not be there, you would release those rolls with paywall, some time in the future when you won't be relevant and those would be some awesome vintage rolls.
