In this video a 260lb wrestler wanted to challenge some of our instructors (some of which he out weighs by 100lbs) Do we have what it takes or are we a McDojo about to be exposed?!?! Watch the video to find out!
For real. I'm a bigger dude than him, been training for a long time, and even I know that there are way more than 8k dudes in the world who can beat me hahaha
I was a "high level" wrestler myself... and, just like this guy, I completely overestimated how much that would translate into BJJ. Fortunately I kept my mouth shut about it, and hence, there are no videos of me getting smashed/humbled on the internet! 🙂
If you pause the video and read the messages he actually said he stopped in high-school. Unless there are other messages he didn't show I don't know why he said he quit before high-school
It’s not uncommon for kids to be encouraged by their parents to wrestle from a young age and when they get to high school and have more independence quit. I’ve seen some very skilled wrestlers quit around 15-16years old.
@@andrewwightman7206 similar to me I quit my junior year too much pressure and I didn't enjoy wrestling as much as I used to now I am happing training muay thai.
This was handled incredibly well by everyone here. Even the guy admiting he was wrong before, and you guys not showing his face and not trying to hurt him. The last roll was a classic Black belt rolling with White belt leaving tons of space but punishing mistakes, I just hope this guy understands that there are levels to this.
I don't know, I appreciate this sort of thing. He was honest with his experience, weight, and size... and honest about what he believed he was capable of. You guys humbled him, and he took it in stride, and his feedback wasn't negative or defeated -- he merely said, "I need to get better." Kudos to you guys for everything, of course, but kudos to the guy for actually showing up.
Yes I agree. I can't imagine things going better than this. And I think it's cool, the "old school" way people would show up to challenge a gym. So long as egos are in check and waivers are signed...why not have some fun? Cool experience all around.
This was PERFECT. I'm sick of gyms using this kind of thing as an excuse to humiliate and injure these guys. You just sparred the guy at a regular pace and kept it respectful. Respect 🙏
Thanks for acknowledging that this guy isnt actually high level. You even beat him even in the typical wrestling exchanges. This proves that your ego is solid and you have no need to try and shame the sport of wrestling itself. You are great guys and good athletes.
I'm a BJJ purple belt so I once submitted the owner of a dojo (we were both no gi). Then I got kicked out and told i wasnt welcome there anymore. However, a few of his pupils left right afterwards coz they couldn't take their coach's defeat well.
This guy's ego must of been insane lmao i wonder what echo chamber he has been in all his life. I don't want to 'waste my time as a white belt', literally said 'no ego only 8k people can beat me'. hahaha
Shoulder Crunch/Ude Gatame, the finishing mechanics require you either extend your opponent using your lower body or use your legs to control the shoulder and press them against the mat while you extend your body. But the guy couldn't control the 'high level' wrestler so he just transitioned to an armbar from bottom/guard.
You can see the skill set difference between student and coach at 2:12.. how flawlessly got the butterfly hook in swept him and immediately took the back.. just beautiful transition
to be fair, the butterfly was nice but the guy just gave him the back trying to escape mount, typical first time rolling mistake. Wrestlers hate having their back to the mat and it can cause them problems when they first switch to bjj.
@@james-m3k agreed.. seen lot of wrestlers even judokas turning their backs in jiu jitsu flat on the ground.. it’s just an instinct and rule set of their sport
"wrestled at a high level and stopped before highschool" bruv what? 😂 i mean when someone says theyre a high level wrestler youd assume theyre d1 or d2 at the very least, but bro wasnt even a varsity high school wrestler for 4 years?
To the unexperienced...they don't understand the phrase 'there are levels to this game' until they actually roll against a black belt in BJJ. Just gotta watch out who he goes against his first year cause he will spaz on the smaller guys and actually injure someone as he gets better but his ego hasn't improved.
@@NexusAJJ why not let him sign up and then just explain what the correct attitude is? He didn't look like he rolled unsafe but you may have seen something i didnt. I like that he just asked to roll and see if it's worth his time. Why learn from a place that's techniques won't work in application. It's unusual but i don't think his thought process is completely illogical.
High level wrestling is Division 1 in college or olympic. Ive wrestled for 40 years at every level. You should be ashamed. He didnt even compete in high school.
I think it’s us when someone says they’re been wrestling at a very high level for 9 years and then stop in High School? Is grade school high level wrestling these days?
@@anti_Hype_334 Of course Brock Lesnar employed phonomenal BJJ coach ,after his first loss And then He became monster. This is BJJ match but you still talk about MMA. MMA and BJJ is very different. Who don't you mention about Gordon Ryan vs Brock Lesnar. What do you think about it?
Everyone is welcome in my practice room. Its not a competition in practice. Jui Jitsu has no class. Of coarse you beat someone who hasnt competed since he was 13, High level wrestling my ass.
