Nicholas Meregali Trains No-Gi with Gordon Ryan and John Danaher | WNO Vlog 

Exactly, nowadays you must choose between one of them because they are completely different games. Back in the old days Gi guys trained for the ADCC for couple of months and thats was fine, now if you want be top in no gi you must do only no gi.

@@piotrek3580 people still do that one month camp for nogi training for adcc. And there were lots of champions on it that arent dedicated only to nogi (Pena for example).

It's only different if you're following competition rules sets like Gordon said, "you shouldn't lose your super powers because you took off your Gi." It's like saying boxing is completely different if you're fighting someone outside the ring. Not really, you just don't have your hands wrapped and covered and there's no rules telling you what is and isn't illegal to do. That's the difference between training MA for sport and training MA for life.

12 hours ? What are you talking about

@@ivyu0438 Gordon Ryan has an instructional on body locks. The instructional is 12 hours long. It covers any and every way to pass, to get around frames, and dealing with any possible thing they can do to defend against a body lock pass. It’s a 10 part instructional with 8 on instruction and 2 live rolls which 1 of is narrated by Gordon.

We know it's you, Gordon. Stop trying to sell us your shit.

and Gordon doesnt use bodylock passing as his main lol

@@John2corner what does he use?

Leg locks are gay never unstable why ppl wanna touch dude feet

E-A-S-Y mate, Meregali is a monster in the Gi!

He is a monster in the Gi but still his match with Kaynan was super close. He should be grateful that he got through from that one with judges decission.

@@tra1in1 that is true. But also Kaynan is an ATOS competitor, where winning is more important than submitting. It looked to me like Kaynan tried to game points and Meregali beat him to the punch.

@@GenoGenovTihoonen Meregali wants to win on points as much as anyone else. High level Gi competition is hard game. The biggest myth is 'I lost because I am a submission hunter'! Well, then you might want to change your game if you want to be worldchamp. Kaynan won his own weight final with submission. All big teams are trying to win by any way possible.

@@tra1in1 oh yes, all of this is true. And this of course is why BJJ as a spectator sport is not as big. You need to practice it and be pretty high level to be able to appreciate some of what's going on. What I am saying is that Meregali is very aggressive and submission oriented. And if his opponent also tries to actually ay jiu jitsu the match becomes pleasure to watch.

Yes

yah he's the first no gi leglock specialist that i ever watched. successful mma career too

😅😅😅

pena is competing at +99 nicholas at -99.

Eles obviamente são de categorias diferentes, SUA ANTA kkk

he's got those long ass limbs like slender man lol

That’s more the luta livre and catch wrestling side of wrestling/ sumission grappling but the Gracies hide that part of history / grappling

@@Dillon_Ditch Not true. There is a whole lineage of BJJ dedicated to foot, wrist and knee locks, under Master Oswaldo Fadda, going back to the 1940's. Several of today's big schools go back to that source, like GFTeam. These locks were frowned upon back then because were found to be aesthetically displeasing when compared to other techiniques. Like most things in life, the development of BJJ and grappling overall was not conducted only by one agent (i.e the Gracie family), however the impact that the Gracie family had in jiu-jitsu and the creation of vale-tudo is incomparable.

When Danaher speaks everyone listens, it's like Clint Eastwood he doesn't raise his voice makes people quiet down to hear.

@@openmike2941 Lol exactly

Yes

This was never on Instagram.

He said "arthritic"

@@ogtreyrobinson Oh shit, now I feel like an asshole!

But he said, "if you lose it" then demonstrated what to do if you do lose it. Both sound good.

@@sly.al.6404 exactly. It's great to notice that cradle option there as well. From that dump you go right into side and/or chokes/cranks :D works like a charm

@@keystothetruth Were you not listening to Danaher and reading the response? "If you lose the head". No wonder you are a no name keyboard warrior. Your warped ego stops you from listening. Stop it with your worthless input.

@@OnlyNattysatUSC44 jesus christ man. Chill. Lol go hug a teddy bear or something.

@@sly.al.6404 i was not talking to you Einstein, i was talking to your boyfriend

a lot of times athletes dont want training footage released of them training with each other because it could show who is better

@@dumbnerd747 exactly plus w/ ADCC coming up they don't want anyone analyzing their latest game and using it against them

@@dumbnerd747 that's why gordon didn't shake meregali's hand after the session, he senses his potential haha

Austin, Texas at New Wave JJ

They did train together. Training doesn't equal rolling/sparring which I'm sure they also did but flograppling ain't showing that for free 😁

...you can do better.
