This is just a reminder that looking at the winners from last weekend, I can almost guarantee that most of them came up and trained under your usual method of teaching that many people on reddit scoff at- warm up, technique, drilling, and training.

Heck, I would even bet that their academies probably doesnt even have a set curriculum either.

I will die on this hill that training methods really doesn't matter (as long as you aren't taught the wrong technique). What really matters is training frequency, athletic ability, training partners, mental attitude, and probably some steroids.

Roosterweight: Lucas Pinheiro (Atos)

Light-Featherweight: Diego Oliveira (AOJ)

Featherweight: Sam Nagai (CheckMat)

Lightweight: Johnatha Alves (AOJ)

Middleweight: Jansen Gomes (CheckMat)

Medium-Heavyweight: Gustavo Batista (Atos)

Technique

What are common submissions you’ve never ever hit?

I’ve never once in 6 years of training hit a guillotine.

EDIT: Some of you guys have inspired me. I will focus on trying to hit my first guillotine.
