Okay, so I’ve been messing around with some grappling stuff lately, specifically looking into Gordon Ryan and Dillon Danis. These two are pretty big names in the grappling world, you know? I wanted to see what the big deal was about them and how their styles are different.
Start My Training
I started by watching a bunch of their matches online. You can find tons of videos. Gordon Ryan, man, that guy is a beast. He’s like, super strong and just crushes his opponents with pressure. First I watched 5 videos of Gordon Ryan’s match. He mostly used his strength to control the opponent, and when he found the opportunity, he could always use some crazy submissions to win.
Then I moved on to Dillon Danis. I watched some videos of Dillon Danis’s match at the same time. This guy is more about technique, you know? He’s like, slipping and sliding, always looking for an opening. He’s also strong, but it seems like he relies more on his technique, which made his match more fun to watch.
Compare Them During Training
After watching their videos, I tried to copy some of their moves in my own training. Let me tell you, it’s way harder than it looks. With my training partner, I tried to do some moves from both of them. It was tough, man! I tried to use my strength like Gordon Ryan first, but my training partner said I just looked like I was getting tired, haha. And then I tried some moves from Dillon Danis, but my training partner said it was pretty good, but it needs more practice.
- Gordon Ryan’s style: It’s all about being strong and applying constant pressure. When I tried this, I got tired pretty fast. But I can see how it works for him, he’s way stronger than me. And the moment you get a hold on an opponent, try to use different kinds of submissions to win. It felt like I could get the upper hand if I could do it right.
- Dillon Danis’s style: This is more about being slick and technical. I actually enjoyed this more. I mean it is hard, but I think I got some potential in there. It needs more practice though. It’s like, you have to be really precise with your movements. When I got it right, it felt pretty cool, but when I messed up, I ended up in some weird positions.
Final Thoughts
In the end, I realized that both styles have their own strengths. It really depends on what you’re good at. I’m not as strong as Gordon Ryan, so his style was tough for me. But I found Dillon Danis’s technical approach more interesting, and I think I can get better at it with practice. Trying to learn their moves really gave me a new perspective on grappling. It’s not just about strength, but also about how you use your body and your brain. It was a fun experiment, and I’m definitely going to keep practicing. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be as good as those guys… Well, probably not, but it’s fun to dream, right?
