Craig Jones Talks ADCC, DDS Split, Steroids, Radical Diet Changes | TFD Performance Podcast E63

Hahaha!! That was me!! I was driving past taking my son to his bjj class and couldn't believe my eyes! I didn't disclose the location 📍

That’s so fucking creepy.

[@Stumpasm123]

I got a free one-on-one PT session with Craig when I signed up at Absolute MMA in early 2016. He was a brown belt and taught me a couple of basic mount escapes. Really nice guy!

[@thefilmpoets]

Fixed the audio for you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioCYpouwr52WgpY Thanks for this interview Jordan. I edit videos for a living - something I learned: If your audio levels are ever this unbalanced and it was recorded onto one track, apply an audio compressor with these settings and it'll level things out: Ratio 4:1 attack: 0ms release 65ms Threshold (this is key) : reduce the gain until it's 6db - 8db reduction from the lower mic. This will balance the volume quickly without you having to spend a few hours manually doing it.

[@mistermxyzptlk7841]

Thanks for doing this. Too many BJJ podcasts lately are dropping the ball on the audio to the point I just have to skip them. Good audio is imperative for a podcast with people talking.

[@CynicEidolon]

Just automate the track volume.

[@10pmmemes88]

Thanks. I just wish the initial video was mixed correctly.

[@eli_escoto_]

Legend thx

[@-CrampedStyle-]

Brilliant, thanks for doing this.

[@tylerbranch6082]

Craig reps BJJ so well. Big respect.

[@bblack2015ab]

This is one of the best interviews I've seen a grappler give. Craig is the man!

[@lobsterairsoft499]

Probably 2nd best

[@kmolnardaniel]

This is the second best interview with the second best bjj guy out there!

[@sp6990]

Always great to listen to Craig. Mad positive vibes from this dude.

[@bine35]

Only for Craig would I sit through this audio difference lmao. Please add timestamps on the video also, helps a lot.

[@lemanakmelo]

same lol. I also skipped but saw the timestamps and ended up powering through most of it.

[@kevinobrien9241]

Man Craig is super likeable. I like his approach way better than MMA guys forcing shit talk or trying to hard to fit a character

[@808BJJ_Black_Belt]

Craig is the best silver medalist ever 👍don’t give up bro next one ☝🏼 will be GOLD🙌🏻💯

[@davidwatts8281]

His team is called B-team for a reason 😅

Wait who beat him? Craig is literally the best

Always love when the host asks the exact questions I’d ask the guest myself. Very fun video!

[@mrdbourke]

Epic interview fellas! Loved the chat on the relationship between recovery and injury! Big props to Craig on ADCC and love your work Sull

[@TapOutTurf]

Such a good interview. Craigs a natural in front of the lens

[@eclipsez0r]

Can someone give me the basic day of full eating and what supplements are used?

[@jiujitsuismyoutlet]

This was such a good interview. Thank you for this! I love the range of questions

[@JR-bw3tr]

Thank you very much first time finding your channel I am now a subscriber and because Craig Jones is there I had to listen in Craig Jones is one of the if not the best personalities in the Jiu-Jitsu community as well as down to earth and humble person so much appreciated and much respect from the Monterey California area 🌊🤝🏻

[@stephenmcdaniel5140]

Craig Jones is making silver medals now my favorite medals!! 🔥🔥🥈🥈

[@sumlife3744]

At what time does he discuss the DDS split ?

[@IoanSaid]

Very, VERY good interview. Really insightful. Crap audio editing. But if you don't mind pressing + and - on the volume all the time, it's great content.

[@jamesleon2770]

Glad I wasn't the only one

[@adamwalksaustralia4427]

Great interview thank you. It was hard to follow along due to the large difference in volume between you and Craig. This can be fixed by using an audio equalizing program.

[@eli_escoto_]

Had to ride the volume button as Craigs mic was so quiet compared to the host… but an incredible conversation nonetheless!

[@jeffreystefanick124]

Great interview. New drinking game, every time Craig says obviously you drink. I have not made it past 5 mins.

[@ars-almadel_salomonis9680]

CRAIG, write the damn book. The dry quips guarantee a NYT bestseller. Adam Jones needs to write the foreward. Do it for the people.

[@WildCardMMA]

Great interview. Nutrition is the key to performance.

[@Recroil]

I remember when I met Craig in Vegas. He looked sleep deprived and was a bit awkward. Youre the man though Craig!

[@Whiskydanger]

Dude. Are you special? Why wouldnt he be awkward with some internet weirdo coming up to him and acting like he knows him?

[@Hex-downunder]

Nice episode. Where the courses at ?

[@RickBisch]

Good chat. I would love to hear more for Craig Jones. He is great for the growth of jujitsu

[@brysonz]

Craig is just a great human being. He isn’t full of himself.

[@simo-dv5xk]

What time stamp is the "steroids" bit?

[@TomassoTrekks]

This a great interview. The interviewer has a great chill vibe.

[@FelixFrost]

I hope this gets re uploaded with a much better audio.. Could hardly hear Craig :/

[@modofatak]

Weird in American English we use the expression “piece of cake” when something is easy. Definitely switching to pie to sound more cultured ;-)

[@dylanb.1496]

How would this work with wrestling? Yes we have multiple day weigh-ins but we do it every week (ex. Dual Tuesday then Two Day Tournament Friday and Saturday). Would the BJJ Performance help? And how would we be able to get our caloric needs but still make weight ever week? I believe I have a good grasp but I also believe it could be easier then I tend to make it.

[@cdb0816]

If you’re weighing in that often, don’t cut weight. It’s not worth it

[@billalasif]

Great interview, sort the sound differences please.

[@breakdancerQ]

Genuinely a good dude. Always good vibes with him

[@billr8316]

Great interview! Check your mic levels though, can barely hear Craig :D

[@craigskelly2812]

Great interview! Only criticism is we now need another one for Craig to outline his S&C’s 💪💪👊👊

[@kingwavy6860]

Man I wonder how this convo would’ve gone if they had recorded after Craig heard Danaher go into the split on Lex’s podcast. He seemed like he wanted to but pulled back. After his comments on Reddit tho I think we’ll hear his side soon

[@Sage_6reen]

Intravenous. After cutting weight by losing water, rehydration in the short term is hard to achieve without IV fluids.

A rare Craig Jones Pod - was wicked!!

[@TheArtofSelfActivation]

Can you hear can you hear the thunder? You better run you better run for cover! I love his leopard shorts and his z guard and heel hooks.

[@tatecomedy]

Talk about weight cutting led me to remember how when I was eating full keto diet (no ketone supplements, basic cheap stuff), I felt quite good overall, but my heart rate would go up faster and higher if compared to a diet with carbs. Anyone thriving with Keto and combat sports?

[@zezuntxiduntxi]

Great interview! Craig's audio track is a bit too low in comparison.

[@triujitsu7942]

Craig is legit hilarious

[@lpgrepeat2006]

Awesome to see this interview

We might forget Craig Jones, but we will never forget jean-shorts !

Craig is so humble he definitely smokes Ortega in a jiujitsu match

If only microphones were on the same level

[@billywalendom]

29.30 star nutrition connection ?

[@darrellmcclain5697]

Craig is a real one

[@Seegie16]

I know Craig says the dds breakup doesnt involve him as much as some of the other guys. But according to Danaher on Lex he insinuated that Craig bought the gym that John had his eyes on leaving new wave homeless. Probably why John didnt talk to him much and probably had his sharpest knife collection in his fanny pack

[@buddhastl7120]

That would have to have been after they broke up

[@margaretpritchet]

@@buddhastl7120 it was. they broke up before moving to Austin and Craig bought the place John set up.

[@margaretpritchet]

you're 100% correct

[@buddhastl7120]

@@margaretpritchet you miss my point entirely. And what you say is according to Danaher. He also said in that interview that he got along with B Team like a house on fire at ADCC while Craig says Danaher hardly said two words to him. This point being there is conflicting stories.

[@chantifer8402]

Aesome interview. Sound on Creg's mic is really low though.

[@AdPower21]

Need to work on the sound. I have volume up full and can hear you but can barely hear Craig.

[@jodrizzly1766]

Man the audio is sooo back and forth on this.

[@donlean2164]

Can someone breakdown the reason for the 5,000 calorie a day ? Was it to compete better or have more energy and train more?

[@gustavopedreira2519]

His goal was to move from 88kg category up to under 99kg at ADCC

[@cdb0816]

To move up weight classes. But also in general, BJJ athletes aren’t eating enough. The sport burns a lot of calories. If you don’t replenish those calories and operate in a caloric deficit over time, you will not recover well, your body will break down, and you will become prone to injury

[@JohnSmith-un1zj]

The only reason I’m here is for DDS split and steroids

It’s wild to hear the words of dannaher though him. His explosion came from memes. And the memes came from raw talent

[@ogmiki666]

Great podcast but volume levels could be more even next time

[@fightefx]

BJJ Guys skip Cardio and that is one of their biggest mistakes. Specific workcapacity is usually great - general cardio is very often underdeveloped.

[@seeitsmediego]

Definitely never have the interviewers mic louder than the guest😂

[@streetwiseguitar5113]

giving Craig a microphone that big with such low output… Gotta get that together guys

[@marcusa.swanson]

I love how they were saying "where are guys gonna access this nutrition info? They dont have access to that. They cant go to Uni for 4 years." Like, bro, you plan on posting this video to the internet right? Well theres a good place to start lmao

Awesome podcast 🔥 Craig is the man!

[@SkurgeBeatz]

Great podcast

[@Joelalfred]

The sound, man

[@TheJahool]

The nutrition part is what I see the most. It's amazing how most of society has no idea what macros are and how to adjust them for their body type and/or goals. The chicken and rice diet is the fastest way to fall off of your diet and live in misery!

[@raygarcia2540]

"Craig Jones tells all" Also Craig Jones: "Is not up to me to discuss that since I wasn't directly involved" 😐

80/20 is the most sustainable type of nutrition

Clearly one of the main reasons Craig is such a classic bloke is cause he’s an Aussie

[@gingjok]

Awesome pod but terrible audio levels, tap out your producer lol

[@phillspearsfish]

To clarify the host input level is way over Craig's, I'm not sure which software you use to process your audio but initial channel adjustments and then a final channel volume rider wold work a treat!, Happy to do it for yo for free for such an awesome channel!

granted I'm just a few minutes in so far but with TWO mics, I would hope I could hear Craig's a bit more lol. Gonna watch regardless, but whomever is in charge of audio gotta make sure the guest's levels are good even before the host's. Not trying to be a d!ck, ijs.
