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’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.

Recently I got a question about whether you should drill 1 technique over and over again for thousands of reps or if you should do a sequence of techniques when it comes to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu

In this video I’ll share how I like to drill and I’ll also give the question asker some ideas to chew on regarding takedowns for BJJ using the cross collar grip in the gi.

If you’d like to go deeper into the ideas of the BJJ takedowns shown, use the links below.

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.
