[@bryanwagner8637]

@@firvantavan2793i was wondering the same thing lol

[@mamabearthrives7815]

I need all the refreshers, pointers and tips I can get right now coming back after this long break, Thank you so much!! 💪😎

[@Rafael202]

Just learned that takedown last week and it's been my favorite ever since. It's super easy to pull and just by yanking the lapel the other guy is already out of balance, and you end up in mount or half guard depending on which side the guy ends up falling. I suck at take downs and this one comes easy.

[@AntoineFabri]

Thanks! Would have loved to see you finish it a couple times. Since my gym doesn't teach takedowns at all I'm not sure what we do from there.

[@Chewjitsu]

We'll do a part 2.

[@AntoineFabri]

@@Chewjitsu awesome, thanks!

[@TrickyyRicky]

Find a new gym lol

[@Courtside411]

Great tip. Thank you

[@charliebunette]

I’ve got a comp today - thank you for the videos🙏

[@mastawin]

nice. this is similar to cary kolat's sweep single

[@Chewjitsu]

It’s a pretty standard wrestling move. By the way, Kolot is the man.

[@Uncharted_lol]

How do you get that ring on and off with the knuckles you have?

[@Chewjitsu]

It’s rubber 😂

[@muazzamzaman155]

The Problem is Chewjitsu is that the other guy always grabs you gi then you can never get your knee down as your tied to him. This is the issue with trying to do single leg. The guy grabs your lapel which prevents you from getting down safely to take his leg.

[@Chewjitsu]

You battle grips till you get the opening. I’m showing what you need, yes, but it could take you half a roll just to get the 1 second opening where you have your grips and they don’t.

[@ryansmith9138]

you in gi, why do wrestlers insist on grabbing the wrist instead of the sleeve when doing stand up, honestly if wrist control was better in gi stand up Judo players would do it, its totally allowed in Judo so if it was better thats what they would do... The lapel grip combo is good. guess this is fine if you a wrestler and wana shoe horn in shomething that can work in gi but its all very limiting

[@lirbic]

Great technique thanks! Can you do it without dropping to your knee?
