that good footwork they cross their leg that good footwork they cross their leg they go all over the place so when you they go all over the place so when you they go all over the place so when you move it's important when if I go left I move it's important when if I go left I move it's important when if I go left I push off with my right push off with my right push off with my right how much left if I go right we should how much left if I go right we should how much left if I go right we should put my left I go back I push with my put my left I go back I push with my put my left I go back I push with my lead lead lead I go forward I push with my back this is I go forward I push with my back this is I go forward I push with my back this is the basic thereafter the basic thereafter the basic thereafter you can use different illusion so if I'm you can use different illusion so if I'm you can use different illusion so if I'm here I look and like I'm more of a here I look and like I'm more of a here I look and like I'm more of a threat to you that if I'm here but I threat to you that if I'm here but I threat to you that if I'm here but I mean I'm at the same distance mean I'm at the same distance mean I'm at the same distance so one of my favorite which setup I take so one of my favorite which setup I take so one of my favorite which setup I take down a single or double I use my jab down a single or double I use my jab down a single or double I use my jab which is one of my longest weapon of which is one of my longest weapon of which is one of my longest weapon of course my legs are longer but I like the course my legs are longer but I like the course my legs are longer but I like the jab to create the distraction so if I'm jab to create the distraction so if I'm jab to create the distraction so if I'm here you see me coming so I use a here you see me coming so I use a here you see me coming so I use a distraction I'm here and like a cobra distraction I'm here and like a cobra distraction I'm here and like a cobra like a snake will launch itself on its like a snake will launch itself on its like a snake will launch itself on its brain I'm using my body to Boom so brain I'm using my body to Boom so brain I'm using my body to Boom so you're you have a false spelling of you're you have a false spelling of you're you have a false spelling of security now because you think I can security now because you think I can security now because you think I can touch you but because of my leg and my job start outside of your field and my job start outside of your field of vision so I'm not doing this of vision so I'm not doing this of vision so I'm not doing this I'm doing purposely I'm putting it down I'm doing purposely I'm putting it down I'm doing purposely I'm putting it down and I'm here and I'm attracting your and I'm here and I'm attracting your and I'm here and I'm attracting your attention here because I'm moving my attention here because I'm moving my attention here because I'm moving my hand hand hand boom once I tag you once or twice boom once I tag you once or twice boom once I tag you once or twice now I have a perfect setup because now I have a perfect setup because now I have a perfect setup because you've not been fighting you have a you've not been fighting you have a you've not been fighting you have a short-term memory short-term memory short-term memory you you always remember what hurts you you you always remember what hurts you you you always remember what hurts you the less and it's my job then I can very the less and it's my job then I can very the less and it's my job then I can very I plant a seed in your mind and I can go I plant a seed in your mind and I can go I plant a seed in your mind and I can go hop and get in easier you finish how you hop and get in easier you finish how you hop and get in easier you finish how you drop there's many ways the best

drop there's many ways the best drop there's many ways the best highest per second move is the elbow highest per second move is the elbow highest per second move is the elbow deep double leg so when I get him deep double leg so when I get him deep double leg so when I get him I try to look across when I step across I try to look across when I step across I try to look across when I step across so again then I go elbow deep the reason so again then I go elbow deep the reason so again then I go elbow deep the reason why I don't only go with my legs is why I don't only go with my legs is why I don't only go with my legs is because if I if you're stronger and because if I if you're stronger and because if I if you're stronger and bigger than me and you sprawl from there bigger than me and you sprawl from there bigger than me and you sprawl from there I can have a hard time but if I go elbow I can have a hard time but if I go elbow I can have a hard time but if I go elbow deep deep deep because of the leverage you can't Sprout because of the leverage you can't Sprout because of the leverage you can't Sprout once I mean I look across and I drive once I mean I look across and I drive once I mean I look across and I drive across across across to put you down sometimes you'll fight a to put you down sometimes you'll fight a to put you down sometimes you'll fight a guy guy guy like for example best pain was very like for example best pain was very like for example best pain was very strong and I couldn't drive across and strong and I couldn't drive across and strong and I couldn't drive across and so when that happened so when that happened so when that happened if you can't drive across you turn the if you can't drive across you turn the if you can't drive across you turn the corner corner corner guys it that's they open up on the other guys it that's they open up on the other guys it that's they open up on the other side would you like to try sure yeah side would you like to try sure yeah side would you like to try sure yeah here here here yes what your yes what your yes what your elbow deep here and now you're gonna dry elbow deep here and now you're gonna dry elbow deep here and now you're gonna dry my Frost my Frost my Frost yes step across with you yes yes step across with you yes yes step across with you yes if you do it again set it up John now go ahead go for it set it up John now go ahead go for it hot hot hot yes yes yes yes yes yes exactly and if I give you resistance exactly and if I give you resistance exactly and if I give you resistance once you get in I'm strong and I'm I'm once you get in I'm strong and I'm I'm once you get in I'm strong and I'm I'm strong I'm spraying my leg you can throw strong I'm spraying my leg you can throw strong I'm spraying my leg you can throw in the corner so yeah I've set it up a in the corner so yeah I've set it up a in the corner so yeah I've set it up a few times yeah I'm sprawling yes I'm sprawling yes very nice you feel you feel the very nice you feel you feel the very nice you feel you feel the difference yeah so if if he's too strong

difference yeah so if if he's too strong difference yeah so if if he's too strong you go on the other side don't force you go on the other side don't force you go on the other side don't force order don't waste your energy for order don't waste your energy for order don't waste your energy for another another another try to be as economic as you can as try to be as economic as you can as try to be as economic as you can as possible you could be whatever on the possible you could be whatever on the possible you could be whatever on the ground what's the difference in ground what's the difference in ground what's the difference in suggestion for you and uh well there's a suggestion for you and uh well there's a suggestion for you and uh well there's a lot of difference yeah lot of difference yeah lot of difference yeah I believe in I believe in I believe in Jiu Jitsu especially in the guard you Jiu Jitsu especially in the guard you Jiu Jitsu especially in the guard you can't stay in mid-range yeah I don't can't stay in mid-range yeah I don't can't stay in mid-range yeah I don't want to cover it I guess like if I'm in want to cover it I guess like if I'm in want to cover it I guess like if I'm in the standing position the standing position the standing position I want to cover like this my head is off I want to cover like this my head is off I want to cover like this my head is off the ground my muscle in my abdomen all the ground my muscle in my abdomen all the ground my muscle in my abdomen all are contracted so it's possible for you are contracted so it's possible for you are contracted so it's possible for you to damage here but because I'm to damage here but because I'm to damage here but because I'm contracted contracted contracted it's less likely so I want to focus all it's less likely so I want to focus all it's less likely so I want to focus all the protection on my head you're okay the protection on my head you're okay the protection on my head you're okay with this yeah it's okay it's okay but I with this yeah it's okay it's okay but I with this yeah it's okay it's okay but I want to be here so there's a gap where I want to be here so there's a gap where I want to be here so there's a gap where I can see you here if I'm here it's not as can see you here if I'm here it's not as can see you here if I'm here it's not as efficient because you can go on the side efficient because you can go on the side efficient because you can go on the side and it's easy for you to grab grab my and it's easy for you to grab grab my and it's easy for you to grab grab my wrist put it down and hit yeah if I'm wrist put it down and hit yeah if I'm wrist put it down and hit yeah if I'm here it's harder for you to control my here it's harder for you to control my here it's harder for you to control my arm if you want to grab it it's hard for arm if you want to grab it it's hard for arm if you want to grab it it's hard for you to grab so that's the first thing you to grab so that's the first thing you to grab so that's the first thing another thing if your handers are here another thing if your handers are here another thing if your handers are here I want to take away your hand on me I I want to take away your hand on me I I want to take away your hand on me I want to fool you fool you want to fool you fool you want to fool you fool you to me I want to control your head and to me I want to control your head and to me I want to control your head and your arm and from there there's many your arm and from there there's many your arm and from there there's many options I like to take that clamp options I like to take that clamp options I like to take that clamp because it controls your elevation and because it controls your elevation and because it controls your elevation and you can't hit me it's either I'm very you can't hit me it's either I'm very you can't hit me it's either I'm very close to you or I'm very far are you trying to get up I'm very far are you trying to get up I'm very far yeah if I can't get up no I'm very far yeah if I can't get up no I'm very far yeah if I can't get up no problem I'm using my leg to push you problem I'm using my leg to push you problem I'm using my leg to push you away or I can use the tip of my feet to away or I can use the tip of my feet to away or I can use the tip of my feet to create distance so you need to be aware

um but I also believe that he's um but I also believe that he's probably one of the busiest human beings probably one of the busiest human beings probably one of the busiest human beings on the planet that said these guys doing on the planet that said these guys doing on the planet that said these guys doing martial arts training martial arts martial arts training martial arts martial arts training martial arts because it's pretty Heavens yeah I think because it's pretty Heavens yeah I think because it's pretty Heavens yeah I think ultimately the deepest distance I think I think there's two people who there's two people who there's two people who have put themselves in a position where have put themselves in a position where have put themselves in a position where they can create they can create they can create greater benefits official management greater benefits official management greater benefits official management than almost anyone else than almost anyone else than almost anyone else and so there's a sense in which I wish and so there's a sense in which I wish and so there's a sense in which I wish they would focus more on that than they would focus more on that than they would focus more on that than fighting each other all right so one fighting each other all right so one fighting each other all right so one more round this is for everything it's a more round this is for everything it's a more round this is for everything it's a submission yes sir submission yes sir submission yes sir for the greatest fighter of all time
