I Survived The Highest Rated Jiu Jitsu Gyms In Las Vegas

[@reyes4103]

Walter cascao is a very decent human being. He is a really good instructor and his students are very successful. He was very generous to me during my time in Vegas by letting me workout with the team while I was super broke.

[@TylerSpangler]

That’s awesome!!

[@nisbenyricardo533]

I trained under Walter he is awesome he is by far the best instructor and friend I have had in the mats. If you join his school you will be family. I have nothing but great things to say about Walter . If your in vegas go check him out

[@dapras]

good on you redeeming your gym lol

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

But bro, you need bright lighting. Otherwise you can't see the fancy clothes this channel sells!!!!!

[@JojoBusta]

I always found hilarious that there's a dojo out there called Cobra Kai

[@TylerSpangler]

and they’re pretty good!

im curious if you told the gym owners you would be comparing two places? kinda made the one look bad and the other really good. I feel like the one that looks bad may not appreciate?

[@javibjj123]

He didn’t. Just asked the guys if he record. Never mentioned it was for KZbin.

[@chrisadmaley]

@@javibjj123 I think posting on youtube is OK...but he should make both gyms look good...not put one down so much i think. Gonna piss people off i feel like.

[@curraja14]

Agreed

[@ryanscottnix]

His critiques and praises seemed accurate and honest. And in the end, I don't think that he made the other one look particularly bad, it just wasn't his preference.

[@chrisadmaley]

@@ryanscottnix Sure but they are also competing gyms potentially in the same city....he definitely made one look much worse. I would not be happy letting someone film and then getting dumped on.

[@EPATZ]

Loving the content at new gyms every week. Favorite sub lately has been the ankle guillotine, otherwise the classic rear naked strangle is my tried and true favorite (assuming I can actually get to the back).

[@robirhodes7411]

[@TylerSpangler]

Ankle guillotine is such a goodie for me lately. I’ve entered you in the contest

[@00RV00]

There's something about the baseball bat choke that just attracts me idk why, all of the variants I've seen are super cool to me. I've let too many guard passes because of this and it wouldn't be my go to in competition, but it is for sure my favorite sub.

[@TylerSpangler]

I think I’ve hit this submission less than 5 times in my whole life lol. I have entered you for the contest

[@lordbaltamore1527]

It’s cool to see people going to gyms around where I live!

[@th3bigred21]

I think your break downs of the rolls are the best, looking forward to what you do in Texas

[@eddy3011]

I was only at sim go for 6 months when I was in Vegas for work but it was really influential. Sim would tell me xyz moves would be good for me. I wasn't good enough to execute them at the time but years later he was right. I'm currently working on the DLR ankle lock he showed me years ago! I don't know if things have changed, they would do gi and no gi classes right after each other. They were good at both but if I had to pick I'd say they were better no gi. They had real no gi plans versus just trying to force fit a gi game, which was rarer back then.

[@shyebjj]

we still have no gi 😄

[@davewhite756]

I trained at cobra Kai in March when I was on vacation. When I got back, the guy who would tap me 10 times in a 5 minute round need 2 rounds to tap me. Looking forward to training with them again this June.

[@TylerSpangler]

You’ll have a blast! Very talented people

[@ehreng6707]

Great video! You're like the Anthony Bourdain of Jiu-Jitsu lol. Favorite submission is the guillotine. Hope you can make it out to 10th Planet Sacramento in the future.

[@theenviproject8272]

Rolling with Sim, several black belts and his top competitors isn’t a fair comparison to going to a random empty nogi class full of white belts vs a roll with Walter. Or at least compare Chris Engle Jiu Jitsu (Cascao affiliate) and roll with our black, brown, and purple belts ❤️

[@robertmcbride1597]

I train at Sims and I agree with your comment. Wasn't a fair comparison.

[@TylerSpangler]

It may not have been the best day, but I only had select time frames for fitting all these gyms in. These were both morning classes however!

[@trainerdylan]

I agree with you as well @theenviproject8272. I was a student of Chris and Mylene and CEBJJ is such a staple to the Cascao family here in Vegas as well as all the Cascao Affiliates. This was a very unfair comparison. I get the whole time slot and scheduling thing, but for the sake of Cobra Kai vs Cascao, I would have waited to make time with Walter.

[@Hawaiian_Blues2024]

@@TylerSpangler then go back at a better time before you do this kind of review at a gym. I've never been to cascao but this left a really bitter taste in my mouth, and not about them, but about you.
