3X Wrestling Champ Shows 1 of his Best Takedowns That Works in BJJ Too

[@kallepikku4991]

Chewy doing a great job promoting wrestling skills for grapplers.

[@StevieJPN]

I use this and low singles a lot as a former college wrastler now newbie in BJJ

[@lolus8974]

Man I’d love to see one run through at full speed, the pauses at crucial movements always ruin my sense of timing. Maybe something to think about for us newbies :)

[@durstiespace2270]

I always think this same thing when my coach shows us every move.

[@sathingtonwilloughby3741]

Micro drill each step 1000 times then start blending them together.

[@JasonKifner]

@@sathingtonwilloughby3741 I think you got it. I usually start a new move consciously, slowly going through the steps (1...2...3...) then the speed just comes naturally after about ten or twelve reps. One of my professors always says, "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast." When you're going slow, it's easier to eliminate inefficient, unnecessary movements. So, you use less energy to get to the same place.

[@oleh5109]

There is a link in the description with a full-speed example

[@gordontaylor9601]

Here is an example of the technique at FULL speed, and I mean RIGHT now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH-QaHeKqLdlj7M

[@anthonygerber8261]

Glad to see wrestling getting the respect it deserves. Been saying since 2000: wrestling + jiujitsu = grappling supremacy

[@Wealthforthe99Percent]

I love using this takedown with a slight variation on the finish, but so effective 👌

[@steffonwhitaker295]

Appreciate the video. I go for single legs a lot but want to get more better at ankle picks.

[@KravMagaDesoto]

I wonder if the few people that disliked this video were hoping for a no touch dim mak. Great stuff always Nick.

[@damabjjfloramax9498]

get the clinch , pull back into rotation to make him step forward drop level, get the ankle ... simple still genius

[@oldcrow6752]

Love this for leg entries.

[@Jackthestripper]

I like how this guy showed the setup. I've been shown a ton of takedowns in BJJ but rarely how to set them up, I know this is a common problem and is why most of us suck at takedowns.

[@shadymilkman443]

Awesome. I'd like to see more single leg options. Like grips and how to finish. I get the leg sometimes and still can't get em down.

[@Duhejwfnfjgsjs]

I am not sure how much use this gets at heavyweight, but I would love to see some double leg set ups or any rides on top?

[@jlondon1441]

Maybe as a level change leg sweep, done with the hand. Heavys are alway pushing, wrapping up and falling to ground with a leg sweep or trip. Use this as a setup. Can fully commit and see if he bulls through or tries to pull away. If bulls through, his foot will move forward and his head will lower, you are already low and on your outside knee. Push from knee and toes, move forward and drive under arm and into his side, stepping through with inside leg and finishing takedown. Can wrap with stepping foot. If he raises head or foot shifts without upper body, he is moving backward. You can control his arm and shoulder you have tangled. Either push and yank to throw off balance and create an opening OR pull down on that arm as you shift from knee to toes, forcing him to plant a foot. Since one was moving, other probably plants. The one that is now his lead leg and closest to your free leg. Lunge and sweep or wrap that leg pulling self into opponent’s body as he either tries to turn and pivot off back leg or straightens up, allowing you belly2belly or your belly to his hip. To positions you can throw from. With a few options to figure out, it’s not a one and done setup, but how many moves are.

[@kythe7429]

If you can't bring his head down witb the collar tie, you can prob transition to double grip on his ankle as while pushing the guy's shin with your forehand instead.

[@atois408]

That dude was put on this planet for one thing. And he’s doing it

[@makanatubania9310]

Awesome! Please do a video about the Flying Triangle Choke!

[@saljitsu4698]

R u planning to come to nyc in the near future, u would love to meet u

[@KKSuited]

I learned a great ankle pick set up as easy as pie. From a right hand collar tie, step back with the right foot one big step then left foot one big step, pulling them with you. Then pick the left ankle when they step it forward and put it down (weight will be on it). It's always there unless you've done it to them before. Easy two. Won a couple of matches I probably shouldn't have with that.

[@therachaelandrade]

Hey Chewy! I just recently rewatched your video on BJJ Journals and wanted to implement it in my life when I return to BJJ and I stumbled on an app called Marune on the AppStore. I was wondering if you could go over it and share your thoughts on it :) all the best, take care and stay safe!!

[@adamswarbrick8791]

[@JablesMullet]

[@Cornbreadddd]

Cool!

[@Jamesbradley001]

Simple and effective

[@artemisgruis1528]

You guys need to add the concept of the clock as well. So when the rassler has the other guy and he's grabbing the opponent's foot and, in a sense, turning the opponent's foot into a fulcrum while forcing the opponent's head away from his own center line. Here is where I want to ask, when the wrestler is pushing the opponent's neck over his own foot, if we are to set the wrestler's head to be at 12:00 am, to what hour/direction is the wrestler's Force going towards as he secures the opponent's ankle by turning itto a fulcrum?

[@brandonreed3x]

you're overthinking it. the hand blocks the foot, the other hand pulls the head down and push the head directly over the foot. that's it. There are multiple different ankle picks though

[@highsoflyify]

I have a wrestling question: If you go for the russian tie, how do you get the initial control of his arm quick? I have the problem that his arm often slips me out in the first second, especially when we are very sweaty

[@cyraxsaibot7740]

Remain tight and close to your opponent, quads tightened, and utilize your grip on his upper tricep a bit more. Really clench the upper tricep. Hope that tip helped because sweat can mess up the grip strength sometimes.

[@leftlegtrumpcard8152]

Is there a way to hit a necktie variation from the cradle? I land the darce a fair bit but I feel like I'm missing a neck tie opportunity

[@anthonygerber8261]

Scary is right!!!

[@The_Guy707]

Hey Chewie, I'm a White belt that just started at my Gym about a month ago and I saw some of your videos about White belts and you said that when you were a White belt that you focused on techniques and not belts. I was wondering what kind of techniques and submissions that White belts can learn faster than others or maybe to focus on more than others?

[@royalrejects]

focus on escapes/defense

[@qwer0427]

Hi Chewy! I’m 16 I’ve been training BJJ for about a year now. I had a huge gap in my training becouse of corona. Today I went back and now my spine hurts, my neck hurts and my shoulder hurts really bad. The nech injury was my fault since I did not tap in time. But the shoulder and the spine injury just happened, I don’t remember when they happened. Is this normal? What should I change next time besides tapping in time? And how to roll safely? I want to do bjj as long as possible but with healthy joints.

[@reptilesgamers00]

Anything spine or neck related is serious. You should get that checked out. Go to the hospital if that's not an option maybe a chiropractor or muscular/physical therapist. You didn't tap in time? Was it a guillotine or a neck crank? Train with different people.

[@qwer0427]

@@reptilesgamers00 yeah it was a neck crank. But the pain is not that bad now and I think it will go away complitely in a few days. The spine is not hurting anymore at all. Next time I will be more careful and will tap in time that’s for sure.Anyways thanks for your consern and your answer.

[@kythe7429]

What a confident man in his tight wear.

[@YesitisDex]

🤢🤢🤢

[@jlondon1441]

I always liked an ankle pick. Liked it better than the arm drag or just shooting straight for a single or double leg. I would get yelled at by coach for always reaching for an ankle. Especially on ground I’d go for a wrist and opposite ankle, twisting till he’d turn. I even won a match, once. Lol.

[@cyraxsaibot7740]

Yeah those are very effective post sprawl. If an opponent sprawls against a takedown those ankle picks are a wonderful option due to gravity and momentum. Really good experienced wrestlers like that man can use them offensively with no problem though lol...

[@spiralinglight]

Not sure if its just me, but this video wont load. Its a black screen with the loading wheel. Tried other videos on other channels, and other videos on youre channel, they all load fine. Its only this exact one. Just a heads up in case its not "just me"

[@HeavyPower461]

Is this a face movement cause I always get people that just step up when grabbing the ankle

that was the guy, that you talked in one of your videos before, that you could not submit him, and he said, that he has done a little wrestling before, but in reality he was like an Divison A champion or something like that? and that you need to explode, because if you dont do the sweeps with power, you could not sweep him. the video was about people that may not have bjj experience, but they can submit you, like a wrestler an mma. is that him??? also you say that he could do takedowns better than you in that video

[@crazymonkeybjj4837]

Already tested, works 1 time out of 10 because the imbalance must be fast and the simple fact of pulling the ankle is not enough to unbalance and create the takedown. The position of the body (As on the demonstration ) does not leave enough power to the arm to create the thrust.
