How much nogi is Royler training?
Training no gi in the gi
Dont you know to perform well no gi you have to train the gi?
I have no idea. I wonder if he will actually take Eddie lightly. He tries to sound confident, but he has to realize this match will be part of his legacy. He should be training 100% nogi at this point. But I doubt he is. And against crazy half guard omoplata guys. Impossible to replicate Eddie. Impossible. Huge advantage.
I'm guessing he's training both. As Metamoris 3 gets closer I'm sure he'll focus more and more without the gi on. Royler has never had a big online presence or lots of training/rolling footage out there so it's mostly guess work. The guy won 3 ADCCs back to back without a point scored on him, was one of the first of the old-school BJJers to go heavy on the foot locks, and he was the first to write a no-gi instructional book on submission wrestling. A lot of the shit in that book isn't basic either.
Royler is more no-gi friendly than a lot of people assume.
He better be working in the gi. Everyone knows the gi makes you better at no gi.
he wont have any grip strength if he only trains no gi so I hope he is focusing on pistol grips to tighten his game
eddie should be doing the same
I'm training mad gi so my nogi game gets tight. Every second I spend playing tug-o-war with the collar and sleeves my rubber guard gets stronger. I don't think I'll train nogi at all, this match means too much :-)
I voted 100% :)
Since Royler really is the only one to has anything really to lose I would assume he is taking Eddie lightly. That being said I doubt he is training 100% no gi.
Come on now, you know Royler is gonna be training nogi for at least 2 months b4 the match. He has everything to lose why would he be training with the gi ?
Zog voted 25% ? Elaborate on that couch, I'm surprised.
He better be doing no gi between 75%-100% of the time, or Eddie is going to have a strong advantage always training no gi.
Well if you say so Eddie.... I know you say so and lots of peeps think that way and so should I , but I hate the Gi any use of it. Maybe when I`m more advance I`ll understand better.. No disrespect from me... Just a Gi hater..
This match isn't in the gi? What a rip off! lol
Is Eddie going to wear his gi pants? If not, will that change a bit of his game? Should a lot of stock be put into replicating the conditions of the match as far as lower body type grip aids like knee sleeves and such? I would guess so.
Rules say gi is optional, grabbing shirt or t-shirt is illegal. Kinda vague. I think you are allowed to wear them and they can't grip them, but I have seen a trend of allowing your opponent to grab your pants if you choose to wear them and you can't grab them. However you are allowed to grab your own shirts, just not his.
I was wondering about this as well. I don't know if Eddie wants to leak this info yet. Along with rash guard. I'm pretty sure he'll go rashie, board shorts, knee and ankle sleeves. We'll see.
Shorts. Grab your own shorts.
Royler's time is better spent studying Eddie's Rubber Guard and Twister DVD's so he can learn how to counter. He's watching wearing the Gi, of course. ;)
