I dont know alot about this so im interested in what the community thinks.
Tenth planet ju-jitsu with that rubber guard eddie bravo created was pretty awesome
And the body twister sub he created.

By far the worst ever is the guy who ruined rhonda rousey's career
Edmund tarvaryan or some **** like that. Cant remember the name of
His gym but who really cares. Thats whare fighters careers went to die.

10th Planet is pretty awesome, but Eddie didn't create the twister. He learned it in high school wrestling, where the move is called a "guillotine." He did popularize the move by hitting it in BJJ tournaments though. Since there is already a move called "guillotine" in BJJ, people started calling it "the twister."

I think there are a few camps and trainers that are among the best out there. 

Some trainers that come to mind are Firas Zihabi, John Danaher, Ray Longo, Mark Henry, Mike Thomas Brown... just to name a few.

Edmond 'count ****ula Tarverydan is atrocious, yes. Pretty much ruined Brown and did nothing to help Rousey when she started facing girls who could outstrike her.

The Best? Hard to say.Hume,  Ludwig, Cordiero etc. I don't like what he has been doing lately but it's hard to deny Greg Jackson's success. The coconut creek guys seem to coming into their own more and more recently.Owen Roddy is very underrated IMO. Not because of what he has done with Mcgregor who is a natural talent but for what he has done with Lobov, which sounds weird but I genuinely believe without Roddy's tutelage nobody would even know he exists and he would have been utterly obliterated by Swanson. He is clearly able to a lot more with a little than most guys out there.

It's harder again to say, because we tend to measure the success of trainers by the stars they produce, and who they attract. By those metrics, then Jackson's would be the best Gym ever, really--either that or AKA. But a lot of it depends on the clientèle; Demetrius Johnson or Jones would have been good even if they had trained out of their home basements in all probability. 

Fans probably aren't the ones to ask, you'd have to ask the fighters themselves. And no doubt all of them will tell you that their guy is the best guy. Even Rousey and Brown won't admit to Tarverdyan being a charlatan despite the fact he essentially destroyed their careers.

Referencing the tag line from that old Hertz commercial, when it comes to MMA gyms, camps etc., there's JacksonWink, and there's "Not Exactly."

@fishrat

Yep you hit the nail on the head. For the top line, fighter paired with coach matters. For example, Ludwig works perfectly for tj, yet he was run out of tam. DJ and Hume are a perfect fit. But for overall success and having top tier fighters on a ton of shows, I would say Jackson-wink, aka, att, and roufus sports.
