Josh Cisneros is an ADCC medalist and one of the top no gi grapplers in the world. He is a former wrestler and has used those skills to become one of the most well-rounded competitors in the sport, beating some of the best there are. He is currently preparing for the inaugural Sapateiro world championship at under 160lbs, where there is a $100,000 grand prize.

Jits Magazine spoke to Josh about his transition from wrestling to BJJ, and how he thinks that has helped his career as a no gi grappler. He also looked back at his performances at ADCC 2022 and ADCC 2024, while having one eye on ADCC 2026 next year. Josh also spoke about the upcoming Sapateiro world championship, picking out his biggest opposition in the division and discussing his rivalry with Diego ‘Pato’ Oliveira.

In today’s video, me and my student @brandonreed3x talk about transitioning from Wrestling to BJJ.

We’ll discuss what Wrestlers need to let go of to excel in Jiu-Jitsu, how competition differs, and how Wrestlers can speed up their progress to have more success in the sport of grappling.

Brandon and I come from Wrestling backgrounds, so we thought it’d be a good topic of discussion.

This is only part 1 of this series. So be on the lookout for the second half.

Thanks for watching.

Today we have a question from Dan, a former high school and college Wrestler, who has recently got into Jiu-Jitsu, and so naturally he asks:

What advice would you give a Wrestler getting into Jiu-Jitsu?

The most important piece of advice I could give a Wrestler in Jiu-Jitsu is this:

Go to the place no Wrestler wants to be when they start Jiu-Jitsu…

Play off your BACK and learn how to play guard!

In the video, I’ll give you a few reasons WHY you need to this in order to progress as far as possible in Jiu-Jitsu.

I’ll also talk about abandoning the idea of being a “Wrestler” and how holding on to this will actually hurt you and not help you as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.

You’re not a Wrestler anymore. You have to be open minded and this self-identification as a “Wrestler” can be a very limiting factor for our Jiu-Jitsu.

You are now a Submission Grappler, a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, who needs to understand the ground game, submissions, etc.

Also, you’ll need to consider the fact that there are many great Wrestlers in Jiu-Jitsu, who you will probably never out wrestle. Therefore, you’re going to need to develop a game that allows you to beat those guys, even if there are only a few of them, when you meet in competition.

You want to have a well-rounded versatile game, so that no matter where you get put, whether you’re taken down or swept, you are as comfortable as you can possibly be.

Quiete often people come into the game with a Wrestling pedigree, and once put on bottom, they completely fold because of their once sided training methodology.

If you’re a Wrestler getting into Jiu-Jitsu, I hope you found the ideas in this video helpful. You’ll get far taking the initiative to get out of your comfort zone!

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 BJJ technique video is with my student and 3X NAIA national champ in wrestling, Brandon. In the video shows a beautiful takedown setup you can use in wrestling or Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. It’s also crazy simple. The trick is that you’re going to have to drill it because it requires good timing.

What I like about this setup for BJJ is that it’s perfect for countering some of those pushing and collar tie exchanges that happen in BJJ where someone ties up but never shoots.

I’m currently drilling this setup and adding it into the mix and I hope the technique finds it’s way into your game too.
