Gordon is simply an incredible training partner; Intentionally exposing himself enough to encourage his partner to develop attacks,and then defending with a mirrored amount of intensity and strength. This challenges his partner at a level that is exactly equal to his partner’s ability. Gordon ends up in better positions because he is mentally/technically working out the problems faster than his partner. Each time Gordon establishes a dominant position, he repeats the intentional exposure. Gordon benefits too because he is working the technical solutions to each position in real-time -lessons he can utilize later when facing more equal opponents. It’s just very rare to see someone who is this adept at getting AND giving the most out of a roll with any ability-level partner. This says as much or more about his true skill than any competition win.

Those throw bys to foot sweeps were excellent.

3:10 I laughed so hard here. Every inch of this throwby and foot sweep was perfection. When Gordon locked up that undehook I knew he was no longer playing around. Long live the goat

9:19 For some reason every time I do a private lesson, this is the position he wants to start in. And instead of helping me learn to escape, he says stuff like "Yeah. That's right. Take it." I don't know. I'm wondering if there's a better way to spend $1,000 a month...

I love how Gordon looks very stiff but moves very fluidly between positions. His knowledge of every position is probably second to only Danaher because it seems like he's never caught off guard.

9:22 Hold up 😳😳😳

That foot sweep was so clean

As much as I like seeing Gordon, watching Helena put in live work was dope.

Gordon seems uniquely strong in certain positions. People try to single leg him and by simply planting his foot, removes the single. If they hit a double, he just grabs a body lock and rolls to a top position. Even his foot sweeps seem to be perfectly timed or immensely forceful to take the carpet from under people the way he does. Very cool stuff.

there are two kinds of footsweeps: harai and gari. The first takes out the post right as the weight is shifting onto it, and is a true "sweep". The second loads up all the weight onto a post, and then reaps that post away like a scythe cutting grass. The first tends to be a surprise and a timing based move, the second tends to be a control and leverage based move.

Muay Thai guy here. Definitely take what Judo individuals say seriously, but Muay Thai has phenomenal sweeps/dumps/trips, including foot sweeps. From a Muay Thai perspective, 95% of sweeps will have 3 characteristics: (1) Push (2) Pull (3) Bridge. Try analyzing sweeps from that perspective. Over time, they become more natural. For example, lets say I have a single collar tie with my left arm and inside control with my right. I would PULL with left arm, almost like you are performing a bent-over-row exercise. At the same time, I am pushing with the right arm. This forces the person to turn. As they lose their balance, they are PULLED by the left collar tie toward you. Sometimes that is enough to sweep them. However, for safe measure that is when we add the BRIDGE. Which is the leg that bridges out and performs the foot sweep. It gets complicated, but push, pull, bridge is the gist.

Hope Gordon can figure out his health, rib injury aside, and give us some sweet performances this next year because that will be a sweet Christmas present 😁

When I get close to a comp, a week or two out, I only go live with people my size or smaller. Reason being I can go harder for longer, build confidence in my game and minimize my chances of injuries. All it takes is one hard round with a bigger training partner and you can either get something tweaked that could force you to miss training or the comp altogether, or gas you out to the point that the rest of your live rounds will suffer. Those harder, "shark tank" type of training sessions should be reserved for earlier in the camp, imo obviously. Well that was a long winded answer, but it's either that, or it's just easier for him to highlight reel smaller guys for the cameras. Got to be a showman.
