Garry Tonon is the most exciting grappler at ONE Fc. The bjj prodigy has been a part of a bjj revolution that made everyone realize that the old way of doing things can’t really fly any more.
In n exclusive interview with BJPenn.com he explained:
“There was a huge revolution when it came to leg locks,” Tonon said. “Due to the work of John Danaher passing on his knowledge to myself, Gordon Ryan, Eddie Cummings, Nicky Ryan, all these guys coming out of our school and really applying it has developed at a high level.”
So I call Garry Tonon and introduce myself with @bjpenndotcom, he jokingly and hilariously says, “it’s not called https://t.co/8NZ1Qb7C9S?!” That’s some funny shit @Garry_Tonon @ryanhall5050

“Stemming from that a lot of other guys were trying to catch on. Just trying to keep up. This is not to say that John created leg locks. A lot of people have done it before him. But it was just kind of sprinkled throughout jiu-jitsu and MMA. I think the work that we did and the work that John did changed the game and really forced everyone else to work on leg locks or get it broken.”
And this is undoubtedly true – just look what happened to BJ Penn against Ryan Hall – it’s impossible to just go old school ignore everything else and still be triumphant.
