Standing Cutback by John Danaher

[@adrianemanuelgonzalesareas4835]

That's is great thanks for this video teacher

[@smasher1234]

Right maybe on a smaller opponent. But if I’m that deep just turn the corner

[@DustinLikesJiujitsu]

Yes sir! BJJ often ignores takedown but to me that's like ignoring leg locks, pretending they aren't there doesn't make them go away. BJJ needs takedown to be a martial art imo. Without takedowns and striking practice, it's a sport and not a martial art. Nothing wrong with that but for self defense you need to learn strikes and takedowns, I'm not pulling guard on the street fosho

@@DustinLikesJiujitsu true that. Greg Jackson told me the guy who gets the first take down win 80 percent of his matches

@@DustinLikesJiujitsu but isn't worth to bear in mind that traditional wresters don't pay attention as much to what their takedowns mean in a full combat setting. For example there are many wrestlers who shoot double legs but caught in guillotines because they never had to worry about submissions in wrestling. Or wrestlers who get explosive takedowns but don't do much with them when it goes to the ground. I think a good analogy is Chandler compared to Makhachev. Chandler is explosive but reckless and you wonder how effective his wrestling is whereas Makhachev is too slick. He's not just taking people down but doing so in a way where he's immediately in a dominant position on the ground

He teaches that in his instructional. He builds on techniques based on his opponents reactions

Unpopular opinion, Danaher BJJ is ace but there are a number of better wrestling instructors on YT. One thing that negates the cutback is smashing the head down and sprawling, legit sprawl not the mini sprawl in the video. Shoot reshoot Stay in your lane imo.

Unpopular op ? But very interesting though. Years ago, younger, when I wrestled (freestyle and greco), I knew we had the best takedowns among all other grappling sports, but even back then, we still had counters for our so called labeled best takedowns. In BJJ, like many other combat grappling sectors, you'll always have a counter, to the counter, to the counter. It may not be the best technical approach, I give you that. HOWEVER, I've seen grappler work 10 000 reps on their average easy to counter takedown, and make it a high % success move, cause they explored the entire repertoire of angles and detail of the move.

I think it's because he focuses on bjj competition takedowns. It's just an opinion but I think if the openente takes the hook to push the head, he'll take the back. But I'm horrible at takedowns so I can't give too many opinions, in my case if it were me there I'd pull half guard right away. I think it's because he focuses on bjj competition takedowns. It's just an opinion but I think if the openente takes the hook to push the head, he'll take the back. But I'm horrible at takedowns so I can't give much opinion, in my case if it were me there I'd already pull half guard right away, in fact I learned to do guard because I couldn't take down anyone and I kept getting takedowns.

@@alexcardoso4487 I'm the opposite. I work bottom guard because I'm rarely there. If I was taken down, I'd work back to standing. Bottom game is a large, gapping hole in my game, last few months I've focused exclusively on guard work. Still doesnt feel like home, probably never will.

@@DustinLikesJiujitsu I understand at the beginning I had a hard time Tb because I left a gym that started the rolls on my knees to one that started standing up and there were a lot of good judo people, I'm not going to lie it was a shock of reality and hell until I learned how to do guard. Today I train nogi and I also had to relearn how to play guard because I was already so used to playing from the bottom but none of my gi guards were good for Nogi it was another hell now I have confidence and I'm comfortable. Jhon Danaher teaches his students to play on the bottom first, I think it's a good strategy but here in Brazil the culture of bjj is very rigid and it's difficult to change the mindset of the instructors
