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.

The post 2 Effective Takedowns for Older Grapplers that Actually Work in BJJ appeared first on jitseasy.

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!

The post This BJJ Tradition is a Death-Sentence for Your Takedowns appeared first on jitseasy.

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.

Easy takedowns are the best takedowns. The best part about this takedown for BJJ players is there is no risk. Even if you miss this basic takedown there is no way for your opponent to counter or for you to end up in a bad position.
