In today’s video me, and one of my students @brandonreed3x are going to go over some of our favorite Knee-Friendly Takedown options in BJJ and Wrestling.

Both Brandon and I were Wrestlers, both have also worked with lots of older grapplers in Jiu-Jitsu.

These 2 takedown options are great as they’re low risk and high reward wrestling for BJJ options.

Not only are you saving your knees, but they don’t put you at much risk for counter submissions, or at least not to the same degree as a Single Leg or Double Leg Takedown.

Hopefully, you guys found these takedown techniques useful.

Thanks for watching.

Today’s video comes from a guy who has a match coming up against someone with better takedowns than him who has beaten him once before.

He’s looking on some ideas on how to get the win against the competitor in their upcoming BJJ superfight.

In the video I’ll talk about the challenge he faces, which many big people in BJJ face. Which is, he likes playing top game but has bad takedowns. His gym also doesn’t do much standing work either.

The video will outline one of the best competition styles for Jiu-jitsu for someone with these sorts of issues.

Below are the resources talked about in the video.

Free Video Resources:
Sacrifice Throw w/ Comp Footage

Sacrifice Throw Video #2

Half Guard Pull to Single Leg or Sweep

Today’s video is going to be a breakdown of Mighty Mouse’s takedown that he hit at the recent Pan Am Championships in the Open Weight division.

If you guys don’t know, DJ, one of the greatest MMA fighters ever, is also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brown Belt who is pretty darn good too!

Ironically enough, he actually competes mostly in the Gi! He’s not your usual MMA fighter and I think that’s what makes him so good! Anyways,

Recently I made a video saying that you should usually practice takedowns with grapplers around your same weight class, for different reasons.

Now, that said, about a day later MM goes against a huge opponent in the Open Class at gi Pans, taking him down with a slick Single Leg, and this prompted quick responses back to my previous video.

So, do I think I was wrong?

I do not, and in this video, I’ll talk about that and even break down the epic takedown that Mighty Mouse hit at Pans.

I think this Single Leg is one of the best takedowns in the Gi, and hopefully, you find it useful too.

Thanks for watching.

Today I’m going to share with you one of the most common traditions we have in BJJ that will make you absolutely TERRIBLE at takedowns! (rolling with bigger partners on the feet)

No, kidding…

The reason I bring this up is because I got a question from a young, competitive, Blue Belt named Justin.

He says that he’s won a ton of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments by pulling guard and he’s loving BJJ. However, now he wants to start adding some takedowns to his game in order to be a bit more well-rounded.

The issue is this…

Most of the guys at his gym are much bigger, therefore he’s stuck trying to wrestle the big guys which is obviously problematic (risk of injury/unrealistic looks compared to competition/etc…)

As a result, he’s starting to develop a certain level of fear of takedowns.

In the end he asked me “how can I get over my fear of takedowns?”

In this video I’ll tackle the process of developing confidence in your takedowns for Jiu-Jitsu.

I’ll also talk about the importance of training in your own weight class, especially when doing takedowns, in order to stay as safe as possible and build some confidence with your techniques.

Lastly, I’ll address the way takedown rounds are often done in Wrestling and Judo and why I think BJJ could focus more on this philosophy when rolling on the feet.

Hopefully you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching!

These are the first four armdrags you should learn for BJJ and submission grappling. Once you learn them on your feet it’s easy to apply the same techniques on the ground from the butterfly guard and many other positions.

If you’re interested in making the armdrag one of your main attacks I can’t recommend The Armdrag and 2 on 1 Formula instructional enough. It features ADCC Open and No Gi Worlds black belt gold medalist Rob Biernacki, who is an armdrag genius. More info here: https://www.grapplearts.com/the-arm-drag-and-2-on-1-formula/

Today’s question comes from John, who says he’s having trouble doing the traditional Wrestling shot when he’s training at his BJJ gym.

He says what happens when he attempts a shot is that he essentially cannot get through the full range of motion without slamming his knee on the mats.

Obviously, this is a super painful thing, but he wants to get better at Wrestling, and he’s wondering if I’ve got any ideas on how to develop some more flexibility in order to start shooting takedowns in BJJ without so much pain.

With that being said, in this video I’ll answer John’s questions by giving you guys 2 stretches that will hopefully help you get a little more range of motion when shooting in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These stretches have helped improve my range of motion with lifting and training so I hope they work for you.

Today’s question comes from Jack, a former high school Wrestler, who recently got into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

He’s getting into BJJ but feels like he’s having a lot of issues with the grips in the Gi. He was wondering if I had any particular Gi specific grip set ups for Wrestling Based takedowns.

This is a pretty common issue for former Wrestlers who transition into Gi Jiu-Jitsu, so it’s a great question to answer.

In this video I show you my favorite “Wrestling Style” takedown and set up that I use in the Gi. It also works well in No-Gi.

Hopefully if you’re a former Wrestler in BJJ, or anyone else looking to improve their takedowns in the Gi, then you found this video helpful.
