Well ADCC 2015 was nothing short of incredibly fun
to watch. Not every match was amazing but there were some excellent
match-ups. I applaud ADCC for setting up the brackets such that
a lot of teammates where pitted against each other in the opening rounds.
In case you didn't know the gentleman's handshake "close-out"
is not allowed at ADCC. So maybe we didn't get the ideal #1 vs #2 in
the finals but I feel that is really exciting to set it up in that manner.
To me I felt like every match was very competitive and it made the
competitors step up their A game early on in the competition.
I feel like ADCC is really exciting in nogi competition
as the competitors are allowed to use heel hooks, "reaps" on the
knees, and even slam out of submissions. It forces grapplers to
wrestle and punishes those who choose to pull guard.
I honestly didn't get to watch every match but I made a few
quick HL's of some that stood out to me.
I selected certain matches
where I felt there was an exciting submission or at the very least an excellent
opportunity that may have ended up in a crazy transition of sorts. There
are some very high level entries to leg locks in a lot of these videos so pay
close attention and see if you can work it into your game.
Hoping to put something more substantial together in the
future. Hopefully they don't get taken down but enjoy while they are up. In no particular order...
