"she was crying tears of joy" .... Craig cannot even get through a serious explination without sarcasm lol

[@fuckmyego]

He's such a good foil to Gordon Ryan's inability to take a joke. It's also hilarious because he looks so scrawny in comparison and yet he is still #2 without the "if i die i will kill myself" mentality. He's the troll that we all need.

[@aaronevans7956]

That's Australian humour!

[@maafa21MustSee]

@@aaronevans7956 very entertaining! but I could also see it being exhausting if around it 24x7

[@spazzywhitebelt]

​@@maafa21MustSee yeah I've had a few people tell me to stop kidding around all the time, overall though I think it's a benefit

[@JuicyG_]

​@@maafa21MustSee this idea of getting exhausted has the be an exclusively American experience. Craig is a nice guy and I think if people are uncomfortable he knows how to tone it down. As someone whose been at one of his seminars I rly can't see how you react negatively to it unless you have a crazy amount of "martial artist" ego

[@4m4z1n-grace8]

Craig, I really appreciate you addressing the battle of the sexes leg break and how that video was structured. Even as a viewer knowing your personality on here, it was extremely difficult to identify what was a joke versus you being serious in the situation. I'm glad Liam's doing alright.

[@tairapeace]

Wishing him a speedy recovery too though

[@hectorv6700]

I stayed a night at Austin not too long ago and the Airbnb was literally 15 minutes aways from B team Bjj. Honestly it would be a privilege to meet Craig jones and the other team members. I learn so much from these videos it would be awesome to watch them in real life

All that I ever got from any dojo for my broken bones were condolences and a pat on the back! In the end this isn't walking your dog in the park and the liability is on your own shoulders. Thats what the waivers for. So to accept financial responsibility of the situation even after legally not being liable shows that peoples accusations of B Team not caring about their students wellbeing and progress are all lies. Haters will always hate, thats a certainty!

Craig seems like a pretty bright guy, so it might turn out he's as good at running a business as he is at Jiu Jitsu,. In that case, I don't fault him at all for training less and putting more into being a gym owner and content creator.

Craig is the best. Great content per usual.

[@TopLevelJiuJitsu]

Team moves are extremely common place among professional athletes. People aren't used to seeing Jiu-jitsu teams in the same light as soccer teams or baseball teams. It's a leftover of the culty nature martial artists can have.

This is what makes Gordon Ryan so phenomenal. He can stay in camp pretty much year round because he’s not hindered by financial constraints. It’s like a force multiplier. More competitions, more victories, my purses and DVD sales. Jiu Jitsu now becoming a game of leverage where business acumen + talent can thrive.

[@bryceclark8985]

@@app369 You're delusional if you think Nicky Rod and them are not using some form of performance enhancement. I am just guessing, like every other aspect of this game, they are just not as dialed in as Gordon. As much as people dislike the guy, you cannot deny he is effective and thorough.

a 2nd dan sparred against a 1st dan in tkd, after some feeler kicks and punches, the 1st dan threw a fast turning kick for the head with his lead foot which the 2nd dan countered with a reverse leg sweep continuing the motion in a 360 degree spin, the 2nd dan brought his leg up for a finishing heel stomp to the 1st dan's head which was stopped inches from contact by the master instructor who caught the foot and threw the 2nd dan down on the mat. He promptly started yelling at the 2nd dan in Korean while holding him by his gi. That is expert supervision.

Wow, what a great BJJ owner you are! You really care about your students and their safety. It's not your fault at all that a guy got his leg broken by a more experienced girl in your gym. You were just following the rules of the sport, right? You can't be expected to supervise every match or intervene when someone is in danger. That would be too much work for you.. He should have known better than to challenge a girl who is clearly superior to him. You did nothing wrong. You're such a role model for the BJJ community. Bravo! 👏
