Barnett used a Shin lock to escape Craig's back attack. Not Toehold. Also, Barnett could've finished the Toehold by cranking it, but was holding it steady to allow Craig to tap (which never happened). He was just being a good sport. Then he showed Craig how to tap, but casually tapping on the Heel Hook, even though it wasn't very secured yet.

@@storm5276 What do you think American, or Danaherian, jiu jitsu is, if not a modality that borrowed the foot and leg locks from catch wrestling? Remember: Root bjj did not have leg locks. Furthermore, as it is the karate of our time, jiu jitsu has a bazillion practitioners for every catch athlete. Ultimately, the ADCC rules are exclusively geared towards favoring American sport jiu jitsu. It's more or less like having a boxer and a Muay Thai fighter face each other, but the latter won't be able to use elbows, knees, takedowns, etc., etc. Obviously the boxer will get the knockout. The moment the wrestler performed a knee ride on his opponent's face, the ADCC would collapse in tears of protest. But always remember the scourge that Billy Robinson's pupil, Sakuraba, imposed on the Gracie family (including a broken arm), Conan Silveira, Carlos Newton, etc., all black belts.

this just shows how good catch wrestlers are compared to good bjj guys., barnett was gassed and beat in every exchange, craig was coasting and beating josh at his best game.
@@timothycarey3883 Craig is a beast, but Josh wasn’t using Catch rules either. If you’ve never trained CACC….Josh was being very nice lol. Playing with a reduced tool set. Craig is a monster in BJJ though….very cool.
@@xxFairestxx what are catch rules.
@@timothycarey3883 A lot of what BJJ considers “dick moves” etc. Pain compliance is a huge emphasis in breaking position and structure.
@@xxFairestxx its considered dick moves cause they dont work against good guys, you cant substitute good transitions and set ups with digging your elbows into the thighs and putting your forearms in there face. These moves are not illegal in bjj or sub grappling yet you never see them cause the catch guys dont make it past the first round of the tournament.
So beautiful to watch! They were never trying to overcome the other just with pressure or explosive moves, just with technique. JB always looks gassed out but he is relentless untill the end, always aware of every detail and with clear plans in his mind, not taking advantage of his weight. Craig Jones has a clear cardio/speed advantage, but focuses instead on technical sparring. It would take hours to examine all the small details, wow!
Not really
Wow, Great to see! Josh is a legend! Awesome with egos in check . Bravo Craig Jones. .
Wow. Both are beasts. I am more Impressed with Craig Jones every time. Seems so effortless.
I'm 42, and I completely understand the kind of tired Josh Barnett is in this video. This is great. I'm glad they did this.
Love Josh. Love Craig. Love the smiles. Please post more of this!
This is so fun thanks for sharing. B team Best team.
Now that was a quality roll right there. All the subs that they just respectfully rolled thru was awesome. Wish I’d have started this when I was a kid!
Great roll and great to see ! Thanks for sharing
Legends! Just what I needed today 👍🏽
Great round to learn from...both moving really well, I will have to watch a few times before the ebi trials.
Josh is such a great grappler, and of course Craig 💪💪that was awesome to watch
Josh Barnett is the most intimidating dad imaginable
Awesome balls. Josh making us old geezers proud.
Yeah, I was like "whoa, Josh is an old man, big credit to him !" (and then I googled his age, and realized that I'm older).
He's only in his early 40s, a lot of miles though
Yeah he’s not that old man, could have still been in mma
What balls theyre rolling on the ground .
He’s only 44
Watching craig jones roll is like listening to classical symphonies
I hope more high level guys post rolling videos like this...thank you.
Awesome matches to watch with them!!! I liked how Barnett used toe holds to facilitate escapes from Craig's back attacks. Loved how Craig countered one toehold attack by sliding into Saddle. Was that Ben Eddy in the background? Was he visiting or making a move?
That’s definitely Ben eddy he’s just visiting
Yea Ben's at 10p Austin I believe
You are one educated viewer !
Barnett used a Shin lock to escape Craig's back attack. Not Toehold. Also, Barnett could've finished the Toehold by cranking it, but was holding it steady to allow Craig to tap (which never happened). He was just being a good sport. Then he showed Craig how to tap, but casually tapping on the Heel Hook, even though it wasn't very secured yet.
Some people have flexible ankles/feet. I would have tapped to Josh's toe hold fairly quickly. When I get a toe hold (or other submissions) and my training partner refuses to tap, I just let go and keep going.
What I learned watching this: Josh can attack your feet from anywhere, also that Craig has rubber feet. 😅
He was attacking from a position where he had no control of the knee. So the toe hold was inefficient and Craig was able to counter.
What a pleasant surprise seeing you here mate 😂 good to see you’re into grappling as well 👍🏻
@Water Gun true, Josh wasn’t cranking and being very respectful. But Craig legit has rubber feet. Almost like a ballerina.
Always nice to see the Warmaster staying active! Even got his own rolling shoes lol
That was amazing to watch
Awesome sweep by Craig! Also my two favourite guys Josh the baby assassin Barnett and Craig
The composure is unreal
Dude the man himself!! I love Barnett
They were being very courteous and having fun good energy at that gym
Josh Barnett is the Gordon Ramsay of submission wrestling.
this is really cool to watch!
Craig is one of the smoothest grapplers have ever seen.
Craig was a gentleman this roll 🤙
XD he is and forever will be a legend, not a hard roll for the moder purole belt really
You mean Craig was Craig this roll
I think it went both ways, Josh only did one big guy move during the roll and was on his knees the whole time not really using the pressure passing he is known for. I still think it would be fucking scary seeing Josh pissed off.
Wow amazing how he just gets swept effortless
Josh comes up from the roll and say who's next. Everyone partners up immediately and starts rolling.
That sweep 🙏🙏
Thanks for content.
Legends having fun.
I’ve heard a lot of negatives in the past on how josh Barnett rolls with people but he seemed sensible here, both were allowed to work in spite of different weight and styles.
@Water Gun yup
@Water Gun the focus on being rough and making everything uncomfortable is the reason catch is inferior, smooth efficient transitions is much more important the higher the competition gets, its the reason most catch guys look so slow and akward when rolling against guys like craig.
@Water Gun not in any high level org. Josh barnett or sakuraba is the most accomplished catch guys in fighting, name all the catch guys winning adcc. Take the top catch guy in the world and the purple belts at most gyms will own them.
@Water Gun catch has limited high level instructor because it was inferior to bjj and submission wrestling, guys like eric paulson didnt thrive cause their fighters were getting subbed by everyone, guys like ken shamrock did ok when others didnt know any grappling but got killed by lower bjj belts.
@Water Gun name a single catch guy in history that could beat gordon ryan, gary tonon, or guys like craig jones, roberto jimenez, cole abate... you dont know what you are talking about a washed up brown belt UFC fighter jason miller subbed sakuraba easily. I would really love to hear about a catch guy you think could beat craig jones, i will wait.
Josh is a giant legend!!

Josh Barnett Legend !!!
Thank you Josh and Craig for this Gem 🙏
Awesome to see the Warmaster doing some MGK with Craig Jones! Legends both of 'em!
Legendary!
This is just all kinds of awesome
Bravo 👏. Thank you thank you. Oos!
World Class!
Appreciate the leg placement and timing - 2:36 to 2:46. Exquisite.
Using the elbow to feed joshes leg to get to mount and avoid the half guard was too smooth
B-Team is becoming the hub of all grapplers. That is good.
That toe hold looked super nasty but I think Craig is just immune to that shit by now 😅 That ankle crank to escape the back take was crafty too. Josh is still a beast in his 40's but this new generation of no gi guys are something else
Josh was playing bjj, not his own sport, catch. He wasn't jabbing Craig in the shins or ankles to climb him, or putting his knee in his face, or doing neck cranks. Josh was just playing with the boy. The real catch leaves the air heavy. It's almost traumatic, almost like a round of boxing. It's another reality.
@@benjamimc5x67lol, if anyone was taking it easy it was Craig.
@@storm5276 Lol, like Sakuraba, another catch wrestler, and Renzo Gracie, right? 🤣
@@benjamimc5x67 where are all the catch wrestlers on the ADCC podium ?
@@storm5276 What do you think American, or Danaherian, jiu jitsu is, if not a modality that borrowed the foot and leg locks from catch wrestling? Remember: Root bjj did not have leg locks. Furthermore, as it is the karate of our time, jiu jitsu has a bazillion practitioners for every catch athlete. Ultimately, the ADCC rules are exclusively geared towards favoring American sport jiu jitsu. It's more or less like having a boxer and a Muay Thai fighter face each other, but the latter won't be able to use elbows, knees, takedowns, etc., etc. Obviously the boxer will get the knockout. The moment the wrestler performed a knee ride on his opponent's face, the ADCC would collapse in tears of protest. But always remember the scourge that Billy Robinson's pupil, Sakuraba, imposed on the Gracie family (including a broken arm), Conan Silveira, Carlos Newton, etc., all black belts.
Such a great technique diversity from Craig, really brings such a joy to watch his game. At the same time, we can see how great a difference in level of set ups & control mechanisms (no offence to Josh). Difference between establishing the control & then breaking in leg submissions is enormous
the little sequence in the back at 1:27 was nice
Good to see josh at it.. Not sure if has been but i havent seen him in while lol ..
1. Holy Shit, Josh Barnett can still roll like a monster 2. Holy Shit, Craig hit the same goddamn sweep twice on him and it was a basic scissor sweep
This comment is confusing.
the two sweeps he hit were actually butterfly sweeps, his scissor sweep attempt almost, but didn't work. but yes, sweeping josh barnett would be very very hard.
Josh is such a fucken legend. Still going strong.
legends
Barnett going hard since forever
I've been doing bjj for over 20 years and it still blows my mind to see a 170lb guy do that, it's still amazing ..
Holy shit. Craig is really friggin good. I hadn't been very aware of him outside of his funny Gabi Garcia thing.
Nice!
Pure awesomeness
Interesting roll 🤩👍🏻
Sweet 🕺🏼💯
Josh whispering that's the one.... chilled me to the bone
Absolutely fucking awesome! Much love from Colorado.
nobody has any business sweeping the warmaster like that 2:29 jesus that was smooth
Amazing
Barney’s got some Viking genes for sure 😀
super interesting techniques from josh that bjj guys arent familiar with. bjj can definitely learn a lot from catch wrestling
@Big Bad punisher def some good leg locks and entries in catch you don’t know what your talking about for the most part it’s mixed but check out csw and Erick Paulson where josh Barnett got his black belt super interesting shooo techniques from Japan. If you look up combat wrestling in Japan it’s pretty much all modern leg locks and leg lock entries used in bjj today.
@Big Bad punisher what a kiddo
@Big Bad punisher wow
@Big Bad punisher Lol, kid clearly just got his blue belt.
@Big Bad punisher whoa there kiddo! Thats some serious edge ya got there.
3:02 interesting grips by Craig. It’s almost like he’s gonna do an arm drag but instead he’s using it to sweep.
Craigs jits is so fucking smooth
Wow amazing
At the 1:50 mark I started laughing because I understand, when Craig Jones and josh Barnett roll into your grappling space you just gotta take that L and get up and relocate to another side of the mat lol
He spamming that nice butterfly sweep like a cheat code.
Wow, these are two world class guys and Craig is amazing to do so well against The Warmaster ! Awesome stuff and how in the hell does Craig not tap when his foot is being bent to hell ????
Barnet is a old mma guy way more impressive how well he does actually. Craig is world level at the very top in no gi
0:45 Is that Eddy from 10th Planet!? I see you, B-Team.
Wow I enjoyed that
Peep Ben Eddy in the back with the hindu control😂
Craig: “Ooooo, heal hooks with shoes on? I’m in.”
The moment of genius is the front headlock escape starting at 2:23!
I didn't realize how good Craig is...😯
good roll
Legendary roll, not many people can out leg lock Barnett. Maybe just Gordon and Craig.
"Nice sumi geishi Craig Jones" -in John Danaher voice"
04:20 Craig's knee popping. If you care about your sparring partners, try to avoid these kinds of move, that's an LCL sprain/tear waiting to happen.
I would agree,I really hurt someone with that when I was a novice,takes no skill and very narrow window to tap and serious injury.
Seems like it, I was thinking that when it happened, maybe it's that or something that happened at the same time. Feels like a thing you should do very slowly in training
Is a knee popp a injury
He did it carefully tho. Couldve used alot of force but didnt
@@D9Wx If he did it carefully, there would have been no knee pop that you clearly can audibly hear.
ben eddy casually in the background
great work. im curious as to weight difference here?
Lmao around 1 minute in Josh gives Craig his arm and when Craig takes is he goes “that’s the pass I wanted” and then just casually rips his arm out to pass. Insane
1:48 Niiiiice
Great sweep at 1:48.
Josh is the man! Using technique at 275! At anytime I expected him to grab his ankles and swing him like a sack of rice against the wall!
Looking at Barnett, it's funny to see how wrestlers never sweep you, but they somehow always end up on top nevertheless. 🤷♂
This Craig Jones guy is pretty good.
This shows how good Craig is. Sweeping Someone like Josh is not an easy task.
Craig in the Bloodspot please
Please don't put infocards in the video. There's still 15-16 seconds left and it hides the last bit of sparring.
Karacaaa tem que respeitar o oncinha kkkkk o barnet é bem mais pesado kkk brincou com o cara 👊🏻💪🏻🥋
