[@simonbourguigne9988]

Lmao

[@Subfightr]

They kinda are, I think it's a result of his turrets. Maybe.

[@carpmma5132]

@@Subfightr I did wonder whether he had a tick , when he blinks and that , didn’t know he had Tourette’s

Ryan Hall is amazing.

[@TakeItToTheGround]

Had me when you spoke in glowing terms about Flavio Canto. My favourite Judoka.

[@lampleather2574]

Waiting for lex to just get some mats for when he has Ryan hall on the podcast🙃

[@123JumpingJacks]

What instructional is lex referring to when discussing the back control

[@maximilianohernandez8462]

judo ne waza witch is...jiu jitsu, and some techniques that some Gracies took came from Daito Ryu aiki..jiu jitsu.

[@natureiscrazy]

Know what dvd/video his talking about?

[@lampleather2574]

You guys think Ryan hall takes alpha-brain or adderall? 😂 I play it at .75x playback speed. It makes Ryan sound normal and Lex sound slow 🤣

[@jtcarroll1800]

His blinking is making me so conscious of my blinking

[@narong1204]

Did these guys just wake up right before doing this lol, it actually makes it quirky and enjoyable.

4k UHD disc movies are a thing.

[@grimscribe6454]

Kyushu mifune in Judo was said by many to have invented the triangle choke, or sangaku jime. This was probably around the 20s or 30s. It’s pretty unbelievable, but he was a true genius in the art of Judo

[@bighands69]

Kyuzo Mifune may have popularised it but I doubt he invented it. Strangulations are as old as the hills. Pankration had probably has many versions of strangulation as there is today.

[@satosan24]

The speed at which Judo moves is not based on the rules of competition. It is based on the rules of ending a fight as fast as possible and using maximum efficiency with minimal effort. That’s what the Ippon represents. The knockout. The sword slice. That’s one of the things that make Judo so exciting. Even if your winning with 6 seconds to go you better stay sharp and not relax because you still get caught and lose. That’s why also judo has points for cowardice. You are forced into an extremely intense millisecond battle.

[@urbansamurai261]

I see where you're coming from but the speed of ne waza is a direct consequence of the limited time you get to grapple on the floor

[@6laka.]

U said it’s not based on the rules then say the rules force u into an intense millisecond battle

[@satosan24]

@@urbansamurai261 True but it could also been seen that the rule set is designed to mimic the need for expedient finish hence the rules being designed specifically to mimic battle and the need to finish ASAP. With the most minimal exertion of energy.The rules come after the arts initial use of the technique.

[@hattorihaso2579]

Also judo sucks major balls now a days and modern judokas stand no chance against real grapplers

[@AroundElvesWatchUrselves96]

@@hattorihaso2579 Many world class Judokas are also BJJ black belts so I disagree.

Ryan Hall is an incredible individual. Empowering short white dudes everywhere😂

I love dvds (Ryan's alone I have like $300 worth and this guy makes light.) Ha

Lex 'Stoned' Friedman 😄

[@Juan-ws9sy]

I'm a white belt lol but I feel like the anti-shrimping bit was bullshit lol. You're not trying to get away, you're just clearing space to retain your guard. What is Ryan meaning here?

[@ThaSilentOne420]

Jiujitsu comes from japan . So does Brazilian Jiujitsu . Both are modified NEWAZA JUDO . #JiujitsuLife

[@kvnboudreaux]

Judo is a development of jiu jitsu, it was the sport version of the traditional japanese martial art....at the time of the development of BJJ, Judo was still being called kano jiu jitsu, which is why its referred to brazilian jiu jitsu instead of brazilian Judo

[@Eli13ification]

Did Jesus say that?

Is the dude in the suit high?
