I’m asking this question because I’m not really sure what the answer is? Is Gordon Ryan bullshido? He has a muscle building program that he’s selling for a hundred dollars. But he’s obviously on PEDs. That’s not martial art related so I’m wondering if it’s bullshido. I honestly think it’s bullshit whether it’s bullshido or not.
He’s also selling instructionals for $250. Which seems like bullshido behavior to me. You guys are the experts so you tell me.
I never used instructionals myself but a friend did lend me a Bas Rutten during my early days of grapplery.
Was entertaining, could watch Bas for hours.
Didnt learn much though .
We have a group of guys that always get youtube vids up during open mat and try things out, its fun and a nice part of training but has to be seen in context IMO, if your basics as sloppy then you dont want to take too much focus away from those onto flying berimbolo hip chokes from turtle.
As much as I want to kick the shit out of people who claim to be hand to hand virtuosos and post mean faces online in a lame attempt at intimidating others, John Danaher is a real life Dalton so consider what you’re actually getting for. . . $100 down from $137 is like a spiritual distillation, Gordon is just a vessel.
The answer is absolutely nothing without actually working out, something I have a hard time believing anyone here does regularly.
Let’s face it, these BJJ bros don’t have real jobs and need your money more than you do, and you need to do more pushups. Truth.
That’s fine. I wasn’t attempting to be contrary to your point. My point is that there is quality instruction available for free. Paying for pretty videos is not the same thing as finding good instruction.
I wouldn’t go that far. You can learn a lot by reading and watching vids, but at the end of the day, if you are not able to put into practice, then all you are is a nerd.
You should never sacrifice practical experience, and you shouldn’t put blind faith into what you consume from the internet as being useful.
The reason I said Gordon Ryan is bullshit in my first point is that he’s on PEDs and he’s telling natural lifters how to get big. No matter how much you lift or follow the advice Gordon Ryan is giving you’ll never get as big or anywhere near as big as him. He’s selling this program mostly to martial artist so maybe that makes him bullshido? I’m really not sure.
He’s also cheating. His coaches are sending death threats to his opponents and interfering with training camps. If I were doing all that shit and taking steroids like coranivirus booster shots, I could do the same thing. It just never occurred to me to be an absolute piece of shit cheater.
His team has been running around threatening people THIS ENTIRE FUCKING TIME:
And everyone at the time loved it because their weak asses could hide behind him and threaten me too. Fucking pathetic on everyone’s part, especially bullshido, since y’all had the scoop on this bullshit first. They didnt even try uniformed guards, like with hoodies and shit, they legit went with plainclothes sp you get suddenly jumped when Deblass runs up like a lunatic.
