Underhook Fundamentals by Chael Sonnen

[@stanshumer1726]

Chael should be a full-time wrestling instructor. He's got the gift of articulation, he's charismatic, and he's a damn good grappler. Thanks for the vid.

[@dontstopbelieving1]

When I saw this video I wasn't sure what to expect. I love Chael Sonnen but I don't think I am crossing any boundaries when I say he can get long winded at times (I do the same thing so nothing but love here). But he is actually a very effective teacher. He really explained this well while keeping it short and concise but also showing everything step by step instead of in one motion. Awesome job!

[@MrKalaka6]

Just saw his outfit in the thumbnail and came to browse trough the comments. Wasn’t disappointed.

[@kovenmaitreya7184]

As ridiculous as Chael talks sometimes, his wrestling actually looks really legit. I'm glad I bought his wrestling fundies instructional.

[@BriasRocks]

I think he was d1 That'll make anyone a stud

[@Mati303s]

Of course his wrestling is legit... why would you even doubt that? He was a wrestler to begin with and had a succesful MMA carreer.

[@chaosdweller]

I never really used a knee tap, but if done right u could probably take some strong opponents down with ease .

[@powerowl2120]

Yeah I never really used the knee tap either it never really occured to me. Very effective and safe move tho. Oddly enough, ever since I started playing fighting games I started understanding wrestling on a deeper fundamental level. You get punished for very unsafe and overcommital moves like double legs and single legs. But a lot of clinch stuff is pretty safe and you can chain stuff together while still remaining defensively responsible. Smh I wish I could go back into my freshman body with everything I know and start over

[@powerowl2120]

@@gladtownghost just cause I didnt use a move doesnt mean my understanding didnt evolve after I started competing. Lmao, how about you learn some basic level reading.

Sorry, I know it’s been a while since posting but my son loves underhooks and I was wondering if there is a preference for which side to go for an underhook based on leading leg side? My son is right side lead leg but has a preference to attacking with the right hand also.

@@fanaticwrestling3904 I used these techniques in training today

[@ericr2617]

If your opponent is strong, how do you prevent them from clamping down hard on your underhook to twist your elbow inwards?

[@ray.n_l]

I bring my elbow close to my body

[@ray.n_l]

Chael sonnen also said that you can circle into your underhook side while stuffing his head.

[@samturner8514]

Jack the underhook up and shoot your hips in. It's not a passive tie to hang out in. Use the underhook to control mat position

[@IHateHandleNames]

Is your undertook deep and high? Deeper and higher is harder to whizzer on.

[@zeaferjones1404]

In that situation I usually fake a high crotch and go single leg if they are clamping down on my left arm in an over hook. If they are clamping down on my right arm I'll fake a single leg and go bars gar(head on inside) double leg or if you are athletic cut the corner. Don't forget about body locks. There are only a few moves from the over hook mainly the fireman's series and the hip toss. If you have the under hook you are usually in better position.
