Yes, I'm the person who promulgates this idea that there's two broad ways you can go in judo.
So you can either focus on...
promoting your own movement to create opportunity or by restricting the other person's movement.
If you're a slower, less athletic opponent, then you should definitely focus on the idea of restricting the other fellow's movement.
That's how slow, unathletic people win in jiu-jitsu.
If you're quick with the ability to change direction, stand up quickly, go down quickly, and move like a leopard, then you're almost always better off generating movement in order to create opportunity.
So one is based more on movement as the source of opportunity.
One is based more upon pressure as the source of opportunity.
So you'll get someone like Gary Tonin or the Ruatolo brothers.
Their game is based around the idea of promoting their own movement to create opportunity.
Whereas someone like Gordon Ryan or Hodri Gracie is about restricting movement and using that pressure
to create reactive opportunity.
Those are the two paths you can take in jiu-jitsu.
Because our team now has become mostly associated with people over 200 pounds, and because most of them were beginners, I took the more high percentage approach of, okay, let's focus primarily on controlling the other fellow's movement.
But Gary's a unique individual, and I feel like I let him down by not giving him special attention in regards to what he does.
Let's go to the part where Gary actually loses the match.
Okay, so the match is pretty innocuous at this point.
The guy does a good job of turning into the arm.
And...
Gary gets caught reaching from the knees.
