I am still going to check out Barnett's DVD's there is probably some useful stuff. Was Ryron's attempt at RG more legit than the Dummy in the DVD? I still haven't seen M6 or the DVD's.

I just saw this recently, was pretty cool

I would like to see what Vinny, Amir, or Big Red could do in that posish. A flying Kung fu during transition could compromise him, but taking through the path would be ruff!

I completely believe in the rg. But damn. It's the friggin Warmaster.

I was actually very impressed that Ryron was able to have the success that he did in that position. Josh generally smashes my rubber guard. I've only been to New York maybe 5 times, and I had a gogo deep enough once to make him roll to his back to escape. He promptly re-swept me afterwards.

I think I've said this before, but in my opinion, Josh Barnett is the best grappler alive today. Meaning, I would favor him in any possible match. I think he beats Galvao, Keenan, Vinny, Xande; I've trained with all of them. Cyborg and Buchecha are the only interesting matches... but after watching them both struggle mightily against Dean at the 2013 ADCC, I expect that Josh beats them.

I'm interested in hearing more, Amir. Perhaps it's an age and BJJ bias, but I don't see Barnett beating Buchecha or Bernando Faria, maybe someone like Lo, even who is smaller. Just curious. :)
