Check out one of the best matches to take place at The Lighthouse in Poole. We can't wait to return there for Polaris 10, but in the mean time enjoy Garry Tonon Vs Gilbert Burns from Polaris 4.
Gilbert Burns is champion material. Acted like a champion in defeat too. I was stoked for Tonon’s win. Tonon is my favorite jiujitsu guy by far. I think it’d be murder if they met in the an MMA cage though.
Size matters in MMA even more so with rounds to recover. In a no time limit MMA match Tonor could have a chance. Gilbert is in a much higher level than Tonon when comes down to MMA
Man... what is Dilbert ?! Never heared of him. Who the fuck watch this kind of videos... it is looks like man & man love...( did we forgotten that we have porn for that ?)
Garry Tonon is one of the best I've seen so far. He had some competition during this match. He always seems to find a way to push through it. Great Work!..
@@Serbian1985 not sure if you specifically meant against Gilbert but tonon is 5-0 at one championship. Also they fight in different weight classes now technically, though each one has fought in the others current respective weight class
Aren't they a weight class apart in mma? Tonon fights at 155 at ONE and that's without weight cutting. So if he went to UFC they could possibly be 2 weight classes apart.
Underrated side control escape at the :30 sec mark. He made it look easy, but that was very calculated control of the near side arm. Which led to the escape and prevented the follow up pass attempt by Burns. Edit: Jeez He did it like 3 times in a row. Love it.
Heragoth That’s not how it works, the precaution is six months but if he’s medically cleared by doctors then he can return before that date. It’s always been that way fighters are ruled out
I don’t know if depth of game is the right way to put it. He has a depth of heel hooks for sure. But it’s not like he had a ton of different moves outside of heel hooks.
Garry's style is so unusual, he has done so much for BJJ to educate everyone on this level of efficiency and flow at the highest level (along with his coach).
If he had normal joints, he would have had a worry... that one heel hook, a little over half way through, had his foot like 200* around the wrong way... 8:12 ish
@@prybarknives Nah, it is just garry's style to take risks; garry knows what his doing when it comes to leglocks. Gilbert is crafty but his leg game is levels below DDS's
That final transition to heel hook reminds me of the transitions Eddie Bravo did vs that last Gracie bout. He did the same thing a million times to grab Gracie's leg. AMAZING match!!!!!! So entertaining
Big fan of Tonon, not so much of this top-down view they're trying this Polaris. I feel like you can't really see what's happening in some of these positions from this view.
When I started to see jiu jitsu I got impressed by the high level of skills, First with the Gracies, then I discover the Master of Leg-locks Mazakasu Imanari and I went WOW, then I discover Shinya Aoki, and It was like HELL NO, later I checked Eddy Bravo and I was SHIIIT, later I saw videos from Marcelo García and it was like, Another World! Now I started to see Tonon and my expression is, Another Dimension!
Really fun to watch Burns catch wrestling style against such an amazing BJJ opponent. And it's so entertaining that Tonon used a catch wrestling hold against Burns for the win. What a great match.
Amazing display by both competitors! In a few of those scrambles I thought I saw some reaping. Am I mistaken, or is reaping allowed in this competition?
He should have knew that was coming. That position just obviously favored Gary and his rolls. Unless he thought he would get out of it easily . Still good match up. Two great competitors. 🤙🏽
Trains more in mma and unlike in mma and wrestling takedowns aren’t as big of a deal so guys don’t put too much emphasis on defending takedowns I’m obviously generalizing pretty hard but if I wanted to go in to a detail I would have to go in to detail with pretty much every bjj player and wrestler’s style
Tonon is my 2nd favorite jiu jitsu guy of all time, behind only big Dean Lister! Dean has an account on RU-vid and he's down to earth he'll chit chat back and forth with anybody. He came to my former school at 10th planet Springfield to do a seminar, I had to fng work grrrrr!
@Kirk Landau Well, if you look at old Jiu-jitsu wrestlers at grappling competitions, or even not that old, say, in 1990s, you'd see mostly slow progression between positions from Guard to Sidemount to Mount etc. Establishing and, especially, holding position were top priorities. Not to mention, leg locks were considered "a dirty trick", and often criticized. Also, people spent very little or no time learning any kind of takedowns, let alone elevated throws. Stand-up wrestling was mostly bodylock based, if even that. Pulling guard was modus operandi in most competitions. Finally, to catch a submission: you would work slowly, in incremental steps towards your final submission hold. Movement was slow, very meticulously slow. Catch wrestlers on the other hand were known for their fluent transitions between positions, not giving too much prominence to any one position (expect Backmount/Back Riding). The goal was fluency of transitions, not to keep any one position. I.e. if the opponent were to struggle, the main counter was to transition to another position, instead of trying to wrestle to keep the current one. Thus you'd see a lot more "scrambles" taking place in old CACC matches than in BJJ matches. Guard passing was of low priority, because for most Catch wrestlers being in the Guard (or Body-Scissors as they call it) was just another opportunity to go for leg locks. It was like the opponent was 'giving a free leg to the slaughter'. Catch wrestlers were also as versatile in their stand-up attacks (takedowns/throws/stand-up submissions) as Jiu-jitsu wrestlers were in their Guard work. The only time Catch wrestlers fell on their butt voluntarily was to go for leg locks; not for the Guard work itself. Finally, to catch a submission: chain wrestling was the name of the game. You would chain your attacks in sequence (sometimes referred to as "Lock Flow", although not all the steps in the sequence were locks per se; often also included controlling dominance), and move with speed; hoping to out-speed the opponent's defensive maneuvers. Non of the attacks were thought to be match finishers by themselves, but the point was to out-speed your opponent, so that with each successive attack, you are a few milliseconds further ahead of your opponent, until it was too late for him to defend a fully secured submission hold.
Here after Gilbert big brothered woodley. Both of these guys operating a level or twelve above most of their opponents. I’m glad this video came up in my recommended. Sick.
If this was points, Gilbert had 180 points. Yet Tonin never disappoints. Got in Gilbert’s head early on. Once I saw that the match was over. Great match by superb student athletes.
