I trained at Gabe's gym for a little over two years - this guy is a monster. I came in as a fresh black belt, and maybe once in 2+ years of rolling with him did I threaten an actual submission. Don't feel bad about getting ragrolled by him, he's the real deal.
Braa I love it. The fact that you challenge yourself The fact that you're willing to travel and put yourself out there losing. That's what makes you a black belt. The white belt that never gave up.
Your roll with Kody Steele was incredibly entertaining! Shows how good of a black belt you really are, despite getting your ass handed to you by that first guy
So i know him as the ref on WNO, and hes a fantastic ref. Pretty awesome to see him roll and i love this series your doing tyler. U got me hooked watching it all!
I have so much respect for you bro you don’t just show all the times you win you show one of the few times you lose. And that’s the name of the game. Let the best athlete win total respect that you showed how good this guy was, and if he can handle you like that, he’s top of the food chain
I just recently discovered your videos and I have to say that although I enjoy seeing you test your skills in all these different gyms it’s the witty and often time’s hilarious commentary that keeps me coming back to watch, keep the up the good work and keep those elbows close.😉
Nice ankle pic on that blue belt! He was a lot stronger before his leukemia diagnosis but he’s fighting it like a champ and is definitely still a handful. 😅
Really nice of you to go so easy on Gabriel :D Really though, it messes with you when you go into a roll expecting one thing and quickly realize the person is way way better than you thought. You feel a step or two behind the whole roll.
Yeah dude, I immediately recognized that first guy. Ain't no shame in that! Talk about a back take expert. 😂 And fun roll with Kody Steele dude, that was really good to watch. I'll have to take notes on that crucifix escape he did.
I trained at gabes for 1.5 year, got by bluebelt from him. Don't feel bad at all mate, I am 6'5 200 pounds and he ankle picked me and arm-barr'ed me all day. He had a D1 guy teach there for awhile so the wrestling level there is high. Gabe is the man,
I know there are a million different variables on any given day, but Gabriel looked to be the most impressive fighter in your (relative) weight class we've seen you against.
Yeah he was way better than I thought lol. I had no info going into it, but I have a lot of new knowledge on his experience thanks to editing and whatnot.
Great content man. You getting dogged by that guy reminded me of what happened today…I learned a guy who tapped me 2-3 times and dominated the roll is a 3 year black belt. I was thinking he was purple and was messing me up. I was getting discouraged and then I happened upon his FB profile today and whatdayouknow? Haha no wonder he wrecked me
I respect you and your going with so many. This guy had a quiet look and very calm but….it seemed like absolutely nothing worked. The boss was a true master, no doubt. Just a complete domination and I say that respectfully. The guy was just crazy good.
gym owner had great control looked like fun lol I'm a big chrisbrennan guy, kimura and guilotine as well but when you run into one of those old school position before submission blackbelts they really make you have to go an extra step
To me a good evening is finishing training after setting up people in my buggy choke traps then go home have a nice shower then have dinner while watching Tyler Spangler get flipped like a tortilla 😂😂 jk Tyler I love your videos man and huge fan of you
@@TylerSpangler for real. I train bjj myself(somehow a purple belt) and I find these videos so helpful with my own rolls. I try similar moves and with your commentary I see small details that I do wrong when rolling, so thank you dude.
OMG- watched it a second time with audio. flash back when our local world class guy pops into our gym to beat us up like a teen rolling in the 5-7 year old class. On the plus side- he did not knee on belly you into tapping for being gassed.
He is one of the main refs for FloGrapplings WNO and other superfights and grappling events. Like Ruotolo vs Galvao! Hes an insanely good ref. Had no idea he was such a talented grappler. And give yourself some credit Tyler youre amazing!
