There's so much science in wrestling

[@krizo3]

Imagine the pressure on Austin's spine - beig crushed by he largest arms in West Lynn, Oregon...

[@charliemcdermott8823]

I was training this a few months ago in BJJ its great to go straight from a take down into the cradle such a strong position would be great for MMA and can be used to really dominantly pass guard without leaving any gaps to escape. Thanks for the vid :)

[@kallepikku4991]

You were essentially wrestling at your gym. It's good to add these tools to other grappling arts.

[@passionofthechip2255]

I dont understand why people don't use cradles in MMA? Cradles are some of the best ways to break your opponent's will and cardio! Nothing like being out if breath, then put in a uncomfortable position, where your body scrunched up and it makes even harder to breathe or recover.

[@lanceestes5980]

I think most would just rather finish the fight with ground and pound if someone turtles . Or just get the hooks in to secure the back take, or even better body triangle!

[@HOTRODRICO]

because they take alot of strength, they can blow you arms out, with a much taller guy it can be hard, how long can you hold it before you get stood up or wear out ?

[@nextlevel-hk9wo]

Because u can't strike while holding your opponent in a cradle and u can't submit your opponent in a cradle. Cradle in a fight is basically just a clinch on the ground its basically stalling

[@jeffreagan2001]

Thanks Chael. Always enjoyed watching you in the WEC and UFC.

The P stands for Tito Tapped.

[@allenalthaus9847]

a hodgetwins fan i see.

[@MackTrainingAcademy]

I dont wrestle in the sport but I use this for my Jiu Jitsu. Cradles are a game changer for jiu jitsu. I immobilize and smash guys all the time. Great video, lots of details. Big detail I got is I need to cross face from the turtle more and grab the tricep. Big lever of the spine.

[@juamplo13]

Now i can't stop imagining Neil degrasse tyson doing that in high school

[@dziuse]

Me too guys , i wanted to see how it looks , lol

[@ch0wned]

@Jason You can, just gotta be strong.

[@user-ti7up7hx2n]

@Jason break the grip, cross your legs and kick, and bridge

[@ramitospremium2292]

A good thing you could do for the outer leg 🦵 cradle is that after securing 🔒the grip, you could jump over , and from there, you bump with your hips , and you get him down on his back easier.

[@eitonaraoka6213]

This is my move right here

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

🤗🤙🏻

[@jacobferguson563]

He looks like Ray Liotta at times in this video

[@MC-rf8sx]

Post your hand behind his knee and walk his head to the knee as well

[@ClarenceBraxton72]

He speakin fax tho lol

[@alexhudson-]

I have cradled so many drunk idiots in my life. I just cradle them and say calm down buddy or were just gonna rock you like a little baby and embarrass you until you calm down. Easiest thing in the world to put someone in that doesn't know what their doing

[@MC-rf8sx]

Cross face..walk to his knee

[@hi-q2261]

BJJ says position before submission, I say (PP) "Position & Posture" if you get to the right position and break your opponents posture you have control you have Dominance 🤨

[@KadenDressel]

Lol why does that one guy in referees position look like Nate Diaz?

[@me-fe3gj]

It is him

[@KadenDressel]

@@me-fe3gj how did you know?
