These guys competed at the oceania adcc trials they were nuts. Kenta hits a throw gets him a clutch 2 points to win the match. Absolute beast.

[@keredchang]

Need to start watching these more. Such a goldmine for technique. Thanks B-Team! The headlock to one-arm guillotine was so slick and yet so simple. Definitely will need to test that out.

[@richarddangler7596]

The control on the second leg from side control, as they retain their guard I just noticed. Seems obvious, it’s the grip he took I just noticed.

[@omaewamoushindeiru6581]

Amazingly shot, even in 4k and great techniques, what could you ask more. Keep up the good work, won't be surprised if this Chanel hits a million next year.

[@picojujutsu]

damn as soon as you're even thinking about the arm bar jozef is already 90% through a turning escape, both chaps looking very handsome out there 🙏

[@MadshGrappling]

Sick roll. It's so great to see people have competitive rolls, and then go on to compliment and learn from each other. Wholesome AF!

[@Nvlutey27]

So evenly matched, pleasure to watch.

[@sharlah4057]

The guillotine is my new favourite submission even though I'm not finishing it often yet because I find the grip alone often buys me some time against people bigger than me - 1 more second before I get flattened - nice to see it done well against someone who also defends it well!

[@Silduril]

Daaamn that guillotine was nice, gotta try that! Awesome roll, thanks for sharing!

i love it !!!

What's the trip takedown at the end called? I can't understand what Jozef is calling it? That's really cool and I want to remember it.

[@goku-pops7918]

Great roll

[@christianfairfaxpk]

What was the grip on that guillotine? 6:10

[@MadshGrappling]

It's called a high wrist position/guillotine. The arm around the neck is basically elbow deep, with the thump almost touching the back of the neck. The other arm is overhooking, typically either pushing up on the bottom of the forearm, or with the hand grabbing the opposite elbow. For about a split second, you can see Josef almost touching his own elbow. I hope this helps 😃

[@Nick-wp8qy]

how are they in the same weight class lOl

[@jasonraubjj89]

Nice match men

[@alexkpai]

@9:25 how soon before craig turns this into a meme lol

[@binyaming7921]

Around 4:20 it seemed that Jozef could have gone for a kimura but deliberately avoided it a number of times. I wonder what his thinking was.

They are not training 100% . Maybe 65%

Can someone do a voice over?

[@froggy3496]

6:10 what is that guillotine? seems like an arm in guillotine but with the choking arm all the way through. Does anyone know?

[@Ryan-th5sf]

its called a high wrist guilotine, danaher and craig both have stuff on it i beleive

[@froggy3496]

[@dersatansschuh4426]

Can someone explain why the heel hook at 1:10 didn't injure kenta?

[@Grandroborox]

His leg and hips are free to move because chen's knees aren't pinching, and kenta is posting on the inside of chen's knee to prevent his leg getting trapped.

[@dersatansschuh4426]

@@Grandroborox thanks

[@LOLLYPOPPE]

Because he was nice to him

[@prandz420]

it probably would have injured me

[@ninobach7456]

Also worth noting that it was an outside heelhook, which has weaker breaking mechanics
