The IRONMAN Challenge - Fight 50+ Grapplers With NO REST NO WATER First to Tap or Score

[@feili7567]

I love these types of videos, that way we can just see lots of rolls with different belts, lots of techniques etc. I really enjoy watching that :)

[@jasonprobst]

Keenan was nice enough to give people a little time to roll with him before ending them.

[@damabjjfloramax9498]

it 's normal , they are his students , he can't come in there and kill them all

[@joeyzig]

Keenan, thanks again for the rolls! The fact that you put yourself out there and roll with everyone in your seminars is f*ing amazing. Very humbling. Thanks, the "Jojoplata" guy (20:30).

[@ayasugihada]

So you telling me people at Keenan's seminars aren't hired actors to make Keenan look good, but real people?

[@joeyzig]

@@ayasugihada Hahaha. You caught me, I'm not really a brown belt either (I bought mine at Wal-Mart)

[@GrapplingwithPhysics]

You were the only one I saw that didn’t just immediately give Keenan grips by reaching into his open guard

[@joeyzig]

@@GrapplingwithPhysics Keenan doesn't realize it, but he tough me that. I was watching one or his videos, I believe about "layers of an onion" (or something like that). He kept saying not to just step into someones guard! I have been watching him since he was a brown belt and can easily say that he has made my game better. Thank you so much Keenan, such a class act!

[@joeyzig]

Oh, and they didn't get the whole video. There was maybe 10 minutes in the beginning of the video that was cut off. And he was still the last one on the mat!

[@ampark09]

Lol the blue belt technically scored two points off the failed seioi nagi. Back of the line, Cornelius.

[@matheusgarcia2766]

Seoi nage

[@sirpibble]

How so 🤔

[@leodunaev3446]

@@sirpibble Failed takedown to guard is treated as if the person that defended the takedown actually got a takedown. I.E. failed double leg to sitting guard would net 2 points to the person that got shot on.

[@williammichaelloushin3727]

They actually never disconnected so it’s still a sweep attempt…They have to release grips before it becomes a TD attempt…..If we are going by IBJJF rules.

[@ljguy300]

15:08 holy flexibility white belt

[@lightningmunk]

I think more instructors should take after his example of rolling with students after, I can't tell you the amount of instructors I've reached out to have for seminars and basically none of them roll afterwards. I'm not saying you have to go full hour and go to war with anyone and risk getting hurt potentially, but just like what he does rolling 30 seconds to a minute or something like that with each student is pretty priceless for a student's attendance and experience. They should be experienced enough to control the pace of the match, because these students most likely don't or have never rolled a top level competitor, so give them an experience of what it's like to spar with someone who really knows their stuff and probably will motivate them to keep continuing their path to achieve that same thing.

[@headshota1989]

Might be wrong, but I believe Keenan was going for de la riva x sweep then but the guy got swept earlier.

[@liamdaniels2381]

The basic deep de la X sweep foward, I like to take them backwards because then leg locks and bolos open up

This is what we do at My school for every belt test. They have as many people as they can come in. 1 min with EVERYONE. I’ve seen 100 people grapple 1 guy. My blue belt test was 63 people a minute each. It was brutal but the feeling after was incredible. After that I did No-Gi for 6yrs before going for my purple belt. Lol BJJ brings out your best. Remember this saying-“Exhaustion makes cowards of us all.” So train hard. But also smart. God bless my martial arts brothers and sisters EVERYWHERE 🙏🏻.

This is a bad take. The fact that a world class grappler can exploit a big hole in a person's fundamentals is not much of a dig on that person. Also the fact that you seem to think there aren't holes in the fundamentals of people all the way through black belt makes me think your game is probably full of holes that you can't see.
