his pure enjoyment of the art is clear. he actually suppresses his smile and laughter at one point. i would not want to be the one that has to face him in a bar brawl
Always amazed at guys that stayed with their martial arts from childhood to manhood. It is def true dedication to do it and most people won't understand.
Yep! So much. Lotta shadow behaviors with him. Martyr complex number one, only me attitude number two, paranoia number three. But is the best ever and cant take our eyes off of him. Hardest worker ever driven by fear of injury and poverty. I love leos so much!!!!
Nick Diaz is mostly known for his striking, so seeing him here talking wrestling set-ups and finishes really an eye-opener on the depths of his MMA knowledge.
@@umutyldrm9696 how is he not known for his striking? hes literally known for peppering people up and making them wilt from his striking and cardio. dont say anything when you dont know shit.
@@vladiinsky true dat. It was just a savage, memorable fight moment. I love machida. I always feel bad when fighters get brutally finished, especially if they're great human beings.
@@matthewdavies1776 I know right all those people ODing on weed everyday and all. If weed had such horrible effects all those woodstock hippies would be dead not running the fucking country into the ground
i watched this years ago and remembered it. i catch white belts in my class all the time with this shit. im new in bjj and two weeks in it was working. i feint the ankle pic then rise up. super easy
It’s crazy to see how shy he is. His speech in everyday life or interviews is very shaky and he’s always struggling for word. But he’s so confident when he fights, just shows how much of a fighter he is at heart.
I couldn't agree more, I was thinking about the reasoning behind the snap vs. the tap. In that environment it's easy to hear a snap. Plus it takes less energy to snap your fingers than it does to tap (especially with your oxygen being restricted by Nick Diaz)
This tactic works! my son is a white belt and used it 2 consecutive times on the best kid in his class who was a green belt...trip move worked both times..
as far as self defence goes. from the guillotine, if you really need to finish up then and there without waiting you can kick just above his knee on the support leg and dead weight your whole body you can bring him down on top of you which in turn will slam his face to the ground, very useful trick, they don't like to carry on after they get a face full of floor. and hey if they still want to keep going, just hold them a little longer till they pass out.
@Str8OuttaKashville Acctuly he did the same move when he submitted Ryan Bader except he did it on the ground and after he said that he saw GSP do it during a sparring session a few days before the fight.
@ataqueencontra love sleeved rash guard and rash pants. Most MMA guys where a guard and shorts, but some prefer a full covering, some guys even wear them under BJJ GI's due to friction.
Once you have your arms wrapped around your opponent, should you stand/pull just straight upwards or should you sort of cradle/rock with your arms to the side a bit as well while your straighten your back?
Would love to start learning this stuff just in case i ever get into a fight (which could happen) or just to build confidence, but being 43 it seems a little too late to start. I'm sure it's rare to see an older guy going to a MA school as a beginner.
It's never too late to start. Every day you don't train you're just getting older. Start now! In just 6 months you'll be amazed at how far you can come.
Do you NEED to have the wall/ropes/etc to do that non-standard guillotine? What happens if you go for it (standing + modified with the pushing-up grip rather than the traditional grip) and you are just in the center of the mats?
