Not to be a downer but it’s gonna be very hard to borderline impossible to get better standup than someone who has been wrestling all their life that being said it’ll still be leagues ahead of people who never bother training it at all which is very common

[@stantoncochran536]

Really really appreciate this brother. So many coaches in wrestling kinda have this tough guy attitude of just show the minimal amount of technique and “put these guys to work.” The problem is, if you don’t understand what’s going on you’re never really gonna get that good anyway, so all the work doesn’t matter nearly as much. Simple things like explaining what hand fighting even is and what it entails is lost on so many coaches. “Just do a collar tie!” Again, thanks so much 🙏🏼

[@ironfaithwrestling]

I really appreciate that! If you ever have any videos you want me to make let me know!

[@stantoncochran536]

@@ironfaithwrestlingDefinitely, thanks!

This is great stuff. A lot of high school coaches don't know how to teach high fighting. Right now I'm trying to correct three high school wrestlers hand Fighting. Definitely, your best video.

[@ironfaithwrestling]

Thank you very much! Hope to continue to get better with these videos!

[@takedown6470]

@@ironfaithwrestling Quick question, do we really call this hand Fighting. I am old school with a little update on technique. One time a while back, I asked one of my students what he was learning in practice and he said hand Fighting. I had to have him explain to me what he was talking about. I told him , so you are talking about moving your opponent to create an opening to get to your takedown.

[@ironfaithwrestling]

@@takedown6470 I totally agree I think people say hand fighting and don’t really understand what it is. My definition is hand fighting is the techniques used to get to your tie up and clear your opponents tie up

[@goldenboy0121]

This video is a treasure, as a guy that has wrestled for two years, handfighting is still the most confusing part for me

[@ironfaithwrestling]

Thank you!

[@gabrieltupper1623]

It's so important, I'm really happy to see that you've put this out there so people can learn.protip, learning how your body reacts to different movements resembling this use of techniques is climbing funky shaped trees and simply mantling (while being cautious of injury causes) this helped me beat college state champs as a middle schooler. I point to wisdom not myself. This guy is doing awesome.

[@ironfaithwrestling]

Thank you!

[@confessedrock7358]

Oh my gosh thank you, you dont understand how many people can benefit from this video. There are almost no handfighting videos on youtube for some reason. So everything that took me and others years to learn through experience and loosely through coaching are right here in one well made clip. This may be a game changer to kids (and adults) all over the country to help improve their game.

[@ironfaithwrestling]

Thank you so much!

[@ChaelSonnenOfficial]

Ehh- East Coast concept. Nothing wrong here. There is a group out there insisting on calling moves really stupid names. “Hand fighting” is a term that came around 12 years ago to replace GET TO YOUR TIE. Ppl that say it will use terms like HEADLOCK in place of HEAD-N-ARM or GATOR BACCON in place of DEATH GRIP. It’s a TYPE a guy. Not MY type of guy, that I can tell you.

[@mreric5724]

Just downloaded your pdf and what I realized is how there are a minimal amount of ways to clear an underhook, which I assume is one of the reasons why you rave about them. Thanks for this, I'm going to practice my hand fighting day in and day out and the underhook really opens an eye.

Hey man this is an amazing breakdown. Could you explain foot placement for wrestling and what takedowns one should go for depending on you and your opponents stance?

I can defenintly do that, i'll put that on the list. I am filming one on double legs next week and I can explain the concept in that one

Great video! If you can find it, there's this one Russian wrestler who grabs your wrist and then shoots for a double/single leg. Once the guy sprawls (still controlling wrist), he would snap back up whilst jerking the opponents arm to the side to get on top.

[@pesticid100]

An amazing video of all hand fighting moves. I am an adult recreational grappler and I specialize in the Russian Tie but anyway don't take my word for it. The "wrong way" to grip the wrist from a Russian tie is not really wrong, it's just that wrestlers don't know how to position themselves when gripping the wrist like that. Check out Ismael Borrero who is an Olympic gold medalist that made a career of 2 on 1 and Russian ties and that's how he predominantly grips the wrist. I had the privilege to go to the same gym in Cuba where he used to train. He grabs your wrist and you will not be able to pull it out

[@ironfaithwrestling]

Thank you very much for the insight! I am going to make one specific for russian ties so definitely going to make sure to do my research!

[@anonym451]

Wow dude this video is amazing. I am new to wrestling and you are very good at teaching the basics without making it super complicated. (For a newbie wrestling at times can be quite overwhelming😂)❤

[@xTwistedFleshX]

Great video I'm curious though how would this apply against someone who has as Greco base and has a totally different stance and ridiculous discipline to never give up underhooks? Not to mention their hand fighting is insane. I've tried hand fighting a guy like this in BJJ and it's a whole different world it seems. Go for a collar tie and they immediately get an underhook on me and its game over from there. Or even just initial contact is impossible because they don't reach they bring their mass forward and initiate with ridiculous strength and arms glued to their sides.

[@ironfaithwrestling]

@@xTwistedFleshX when they spend as much time as they do hand fighting, it’s tough to compete

Hmm ok, very nice video but I think way way too much content for most guys. I guess you have a reason for making one long lesson but is it usable? You are teaching something that in some ways, cannot be taught in long lessons, because it is so dynamic, happens so fast and you have no time to think about it. I suggest separate lessons.
