JRE MMA Show #41 with TJ Dillashaw & Duane Ludwig

you let me know oh cool and so yes sir okay yeah all right and then we leave it
there i think you'd
be too nervous yeah like you said no boom and we're live ufc badaway champion tj
dillashaw
and dwayne ludwig how you doing master splinter what's up buddy good to see you
man good to see
you got golf shirts now too look at you you respectable i'm 40 now oh you gotta
step up my
game yeah people walk through the dojo and he's got to look dressed to the nines
you know looking
like it's uh the job but there's a warning sign on the wall it says explicit
language oh so you you
let people know people are going to be swearing up in this yes sir line up
motherfuckers let's go
down on the mat first though you say that when you teach classes do you so i
get into it yeah i'm
passionate yeah no you are yeah you get fired up yes that's why i don't teach
the kids we have a
separate room for the kids classes yeah that's so you have a children's program
yes sir yeah nice dude
i love the fact that you take regular classes i watch you on the instagram yeah
bantamweight champion
of the world oh yeah regular regular classes with regular people see them in
there with you like
holy yeah all starstruck and weirded out going through drills i love it i love
i mean obviously
none of his classes are regular though you know even if you're an average joe
coming off the street
like duane's teaching you the same that i'm doing right you know but yeah
working out with a guy that's
never had a real fight before you know i mean he'll always remember that you
know he'll always get to work out
with me so it's it's uh it's cool man i like doing it and especially at duane's
gym too it kind of shows
like the true love that i have for the system and being in there yeah i mean
what kind of sport other
than mma is that even possible good point yeah right if it's control yeah jiu-jitsu
you could do that
but the people that most people don't know who the jiu-jitsu guys are i mean
you're fighting on
television all the time yeah and it's almost it's almost too easy to have that
happen in this oh yeah
you know to where like you there's people you should you shouldn't be smart
with that it happens
you know that's why a controlled environment is awesome that's why like i feel
like the small kind
of training camps and teams have been so beneficial because you know exactly
who you're working out
with and who you're getting better with but there are times to work out with
the average guys you know
not when i'm getting ready for a fight or um don't want to get hurt you know
kind of thing and then
this is a very controlled system when we're doing dutch drills that uh it's it's
uh you're not going to go crazy
you know there's so many different approaches to training fighters yes sir and
you obviously have
hit when you guys have like the best fighter trainer relationship that i know
about because you guys
are so tight it's like you guys are really a team whereas there's always some
weird animosity with
fighters and trainers and the the blow-ups are just like men and women like
when when men and women
break up and you fucking bitch you know you're fucking you're fucking fucking
oh yeah that happens with
fight that makes me so sad when i see like fighter trainer blowouts when they
separate and talk
shit about each other like god that's so that's such a bummer i think it's both
of them have too
big of an ego one wants to be like the coach maybe coaching the fighter wants
to be more popular or
whatever it may be you know um and it just uh i don't know whenever whenever dwayne
came into the gym
and as soon as he was there from the first practice i knew we were going to get
along he's a crazy
motherfucker he likes to go hard um competitive and that's kind of like
everything i do you know but
you're also you have a very very well thought out system yes sir like i've been
i was very impressed
with like just your documentation of your system how you have all these
different things worked out
like these aren't like just half i mean there's obviously creating creativity
involved when an actual
fight is happening but your system is so well thought out and and so
comprehensive i feel that's that's what i'm
supposed to be doing is organizing the chaos of a fight so that the regular
person can understand
what's happening when i was fighting and training fighting was scary and uh i
was very scared of
it so i wanted to make sure i understood what was going on so i just started
mapping it out and
a lot of that came from sensei rootin because he had the number system of you
know three was job
cross hook rather than three just being the left hook so he sparked the initial
interest to just
start categorizing everything put things into a system and it helped out and
yeah but you don't be
successful he thinks about it non-stop he doesn't sleep there's only one way to
be great i'll get a
text message in the middle of the night we're coming up to a fight and like it'd
be like 12
one o'clock and even if he's in colorado it's two o'clock for him and uh
getting a random text
message or what i should be doing for this fight or what like he's watching sparring
tapes of what
i was doing when he changed this and he changed that i mean this guy cares
about my career just as
much as i do and that's why it works you know it's true i want him i want him
so his system changes i mean
it's it's a great thought out system but like i've never had the same training
camp you know i don't
ever have the same common we have like your system base is the same but it
always veers off like
i don't even know what the tj combo is anymore i think it's changed i always
gotta change things
like eight times you know so it's always like an add-on or a change so well i
remember the first
time you fought hannon borrell when you won the title and dwayne and i had
lunch together and there
was a bunch of people at the table but dwayne didn't even know they were alive
he wasn't even paying
attention he was just telling me exactly how it was going to go down and he was
just talking about
all the things i've been his hands are moving and his shoulders are twitching
trying to be his eyes
moving around back and forth and he was going a hundred miles an hour with his
voice i was like
wow dude you're geared up and he goes he's gonna him up he's gonna him for sure
i mean you see the
emotion that he shows inside doctor on after fights you know so uh that's how
much he cares going into
that's how nervous he is you know um and like i said if you have a coach that
cares that much about
you and your career then you don't let it go yeah when you were when you were
in sacramento and then
you moved to colorado you have basically kind of had to start from scratch you
a lot of people
obviously know who you are you're a well sought out trainer but you were
opening up your own place
from scratch and now that place is fucking mobbed and you're expanding yeah yes
sir yep it's we're
expanding and uh just continuing to grow and have a good positive outlet for
people to explore their soul
right uh that's why i'm here is to teach martial arts so it's uh i'm glad
everyone else is realizing
that as well and i can cross paths with the ninjas like tj dillashaw and help
them become better martial
artists and it's just the good i'm you know 100 living living vicariously
through tj and all my
athletes and everybody under the bmt umbrella and it's a good way to give back
and basically relive another
career for the most part right so and that's what we should be doing anyways
paying the positive lessons
forward and on to the next generation and that's uh that's the definition of
sensei actually meaning
history teacher teacher you know from those who've come before you so and to
have somebody like tj as
dedicated as he is it's it's a true blessing and uh that's why i'm all in he's
all in i'm all in let's go
yeah well it's it's just rare that you find all in coach and all in fighter and
they get together
and you guys have such unique working i'm i'm more than all in same with you
like i'm like addicted
you know like i can't like if i'm not completely like full blown into it i
mentally am when i get
home you know now coming off of the second victory over cody and then being
able to stop him even quicker
this time and the and just all the crazy talking that led up to that fight and
the results of the
first fight i mean that's got to be very satisfying to you that everything is
going according to plan
absolutely man um it is especially with the whole build up you know it was like
two years of just
having to deal with that and that's not the kind of person i am you know i'd
really be in the mountains
you'd not be able to get a hold of me hunting or just camping and like if i if
i could disappear i'd
take advantage to do it you know so that crazy attention and just like the talk
and the tv show
them accusing me of everything like yeah that took a lot you know and so for
all that to be like
taken off my shoulders feels great for you though there's got that's got to be
a real feeling of
like retribution too like no matter what they said like you you had the right
idea they might not
have been happy that you decided to do it for yourself and the right move for
yourself was to go
and go to colorado and be with duane but obviously you were right yeah oh
a hundred percent i was right i mean that's why i made the decision i'm
definitely
you know you got to be selfish in this this sport you got to do what's best for
yourself in some ways
without people over you have to be selfish of course i mean we have to know
what's best for you
and then so the ultimate decision for me was when i got an ultimatum you know
like uriah knew how much
i like training with duane he knew how great it was for my mentality and we
just vibed right away you
know and they didn't and so when he gave me the ultimatum like look man you're
either doing your camp
with duane you're doing with us i was like well then you don't have my best
interest in heart i'm
out of here you know like i sold my house bought uh when it moved out to colorado
like i dropped
everything it went dude that was tough and it was a tough situation to go
through and uh i i yeah i made
the right choice well your your decision the way you approached it was very
similar to what you were
doing too because when i talked to you you're like i'm gonna open up my own gym
in colorado and i remember
thinking whenever someone thinks they're going to start from scratch with a new
gym by themselves i'm
like oh i mean i wish you well but damn that's a lot of work you know as well
as anybody yes sir i've
i've known since i was a kid i was gonna be a world champion and have my own
academy in colorado
check check wow darting a gym is tough man we're doing it now we're we've been
going through it for the
last year year and a half down here in southern california so yeah and the the
new place is called uh the
training lab the training lab it's spelled funny it's got rei n yeah rain yeah
because mark munoz
had rain down in lake forest and sam calvita the guy that i moved down for for
strength conditioning
just his is crazy mind he's beyond smart like he'll everything he talks about
like i have to be at his
house for hours pretty much doing a podcast with him to figure out what he's
talking about and usually
always goes over your head you know i've gone like i said i'm always full-blown
i'm in a hundred percent
and so as soon as he started showing me the science behind what my body needs
to do if it were for my
diet my recovery um the days i'm working out my the way i'm doing my strength
conditioning what if i'm
going to go bigger or how far i am from camp like everything has a rhyme and
reason like every calorie
i eat every macronutrients i eat he's got it down written down he's like this
guy stays up late and
works and he doesn't do it for the money or the pride like he doesn't want
anything like we do it out of
hi
