I knew these guys were serious but dropping out of school as a freshman for jiu jitsu that's insane.

@Synthetic-Rabbit Год назад

To most people, yes it seems insane but they must have known something others don't because look where are all at now... That's the type of drive and purpose most people don't have IMO (including myself).

@@Nixcb2 he's dedicated to a fault. Nicky is highly developed in the grappling IQ, but not so much in the longevity aspect. That or he's flat broke and actually doesn't have the money to pay for the surgery (which has to be at least 4-5k)

@healthwealth651 Год назад

@@Synthetic-Rabbit That’s irrelevant. No matter who you are education is important. He still needs to develop reading and writing skills, and you can’t do that as a dropout. Let’s say Nicky wants to write his own Jiu-Jitsu book, he can’t do that with less than a 9th grade writing ability. Learning is a lifelong endeavor, that’s why people like Kevin Garnett took college classes after signing a $126 million contract.

When Nicky Ryan started talking about everything you can really tell just by the way Craig and Nicky Rod was looking at Nicky Ryan that they really look upon him as a younger brother. Getting the sense that Nicky Ryan has more then just 1 older brother here, which is beautiful.

He goes on his own war, but his tribe doesn’t really side with the U.S. military or Vietcong. Basically he’s a nutcase broken by the evil actions made by the U.S. military and Vietcong respectively and decides himself to go on a rampage killing and torturing people against his tribe. Despite what I’m telling you; the film isn’t actually really about the Vietnam war at all and is more to do with good vs evil, genius vs insanity, it’s really worth a watch. Loosely based on Joseph Conrad’s heart of darkness but sent during the Vietnam war.

John alone could be a lot to blame for not being able to adapt his management style for different personalities.

Rumors had it that one of the key issues for the split was due to splitting of the rent when big gord passed away.

You kind of have to read in-between the lines. Craig says he left *with* Nicky/backed him. That plus some other interviews definitely makes it seems like it was something between him and Gordon.

@Kodiak Combat Collective are saying that B Team has increased Danaher’s rate of innovation? Maybe that was a typo in your comment. Either way, Danaher’s innovation is to leapfrog people’s training to reach a goal. Case in point, Bodoni and Meregali. Their quick improvement is in direct correlation to the way Danaher teaches. That is something I’m not seeing from the B team guys. Danaher said it himself that B team is still using his system so they don’t really need him, BUT they aren’t getting any new information from him, coaching, tactics, etc. So, I disagree with your opinion of my comment being myopic. And Danaher isn’t an infallible god…but currently he is the best Jiujitsu coach of this era. I doubt that can be disputed.

@Luxapricityarchives 7 месяцев назад

I’m late to the party, but here’s my guess about what happened. If Gordon is even half as cocky on the training mats as he his on social media, he probably couldn’t handle Nicky Ryan getting good and stealing some of his thunder. He was so desperate to be the best that he was willing to shit on his own brother in the process. It’s cool that he won ADCC 3x in a row, but it’s truly unfortunate that his own brother wasn’t there to cheer him on. My brother and I are the same age gap as Nicky and Gordon, and I’d be devastated if my brother wasn’t in my corner. Gordon Ryan strikes me as someone who is financially successful, but it ends there.

The fact that Gordon's cocky persona has hurt your fragile ego to the point where you have to come up with these kinda bizzare explanations in order to attack his character is honestly pathetic. Multiple people who are close to Gordon and have trained with him have already come out and said that just like Danaher, his online person is nothing like he's in real life. He seems to actually be a pretty chill and humble dude behind the cameras.

Someone must bloody know! It's so annoying. It's got to involve a woman or big gord in some way. The split of the rent and alike isn't big enough to hate your brother. I know they're cooling now but there was hate present.

Ok Jiu jitsu streets what’s the rumoured reason they broke up ?

@brianevans4975 5 месяцев назад

The actual rumor is Gordan made Nicky fuck his girl. I’m not joking. Also withholding steroids for petty reasons, abusive language, Gordan being the only one JD cared about, disagreements about the move to PR. If you search around the BJJ subreddit you can find more. All rumors though. No one has talked.

Craig left because he’s jealous of Gordon winning all the time

@sharkparty1027 Год назад

They broke up because Gordo and John pushed Nicky too hard. The pressure and criticism got to Nicky and broke the camel's back. Nicky started losing and Gordo and John weren't happy at his sloppy mistakes in matches.

Dropped out of high school as a freshman, what a moronic move.

Flawed analysis. Show me a high schooler that can open up his own academy that would easily draw 50-100 students daily. At $200 a head that's $10-20k a month - rent + mats.
