How to Sprawl Hard and Stop the Takedown

[@Martial-Mat]

Stephan I realise this guy is impressive but would you make any changes at all for submission wrestling, or even more so for MMA given that the objectives of pure wrestling are different?

[@StephanKesting]

I actually asked Nick about this in our podcast and his answer was 'fundamentals are fundamentals' You can listen to that here: www.grapplearts.com/physical-conditioning-mental-training-for-combat-sport/

@@StephanKesting Thanks Stephan and Nick.

[@onerider808]

Don't lead with the head. Thats just ridiculous.

[@Martial-Mat]

@@onerider808 How would you do it?

[@bobjamaica9045]

@@Martial-Mat you’d be a bit more upright in MMA as you could get clocked in the dome

Imagine Mike Tyson learning this in his prime

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

NO!!! i cant. it is too scary

[@apollothemoonman632]

@Lxnkzi no shit sherlock

[@onerider808]

He'd get his freaking head knocked off.

[@justinyoung7786]

Bro thinks mike Tyson doesn’t know what a sprawl was 😐😐😐😐

[@tormohafighter3957]

@@issyeboi8538 Nah. He'd need to learn Muay Thai as well. He'd get his legs kicked off if he didn't.

[@ToniThomasP]

Lovely explanation! Didn't know that I should "twist" my legs. Thank you !

[@azschrreff]

ME TOO

I’ve seen this hip bump technique on DVD shown by Frank Shamrock ages ago. Really improves TDD.

[@lilosnitch3247]

When i did this in my bjj class my coach just smirked and told the class to huddle up and say my sprawl was wrong....Im sure it wasnt as perfect but my sprawl had the bounce off the matt that he was explaining...and i tighten my legs and he said it was wrong because i wouldnt have balance

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

Great guy to have on, you can see his training in the current fighters he helps.

[@norbertomilan1906]

If boxers learn how to sprawl there will almost be unstoppable

[@MarcusDhaMenace]

Norberto Milan but their legs wont be #muaythai

[@MarcusDhaMenace]

Kevin Nguyen they could, especially if theyre a boxer that stays moving. But 1. I also box 2. Clinch with elbows/knees/punches 3. Head kicks and teep kicks 4. I cam still complete the takedown even if they sprawl

[@NiQ514]

seemed like he had so much more to say...

[@pierrebridenne8870]

Very instructive thanks !

[@mrgrinch13]

Good stuff. I have a fellow Martial Arts practitioner who always goes for the shoot in randori (he was a HS wrestler). We usually fight to a draw, but I want to find ways to cancel his initial attack. This could be awesome.

[@hourglasssox]

Great advice. What does he say @ 0:45 though ? How did so & so get beat? Sorry I can't quite get it...

[@onerider808]

"The first line of defense is the head." Nothing a Striker likes to hear more.

[@savosnip3z]

Awesome, yes. Now we are seeing concepts that we take for granted being broken down. Like the sprawl position than is a easy turning point in a fight. I look forward to seeing for concepts similar to this.

[@Richchr2]

Great video, thank you 🙏🏽

[@hikki537]

What happend to this man's back neck?

[@richardlancelot3829]

This is so good. This guy can explain stuff sooo well.

[@shinseikiloquendoxxx4125]

Nick seems to be a nice guy. Excellent video!

[@anon2034]

Thank you for the video!

[@doubletapthat2183]

Nice

[@demianthebackpackmaia435]

Excellent

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Well yea, the bump don't work, that means you seen the shot way too early.

[@onerider808]

Active sprawl; I like it. Thanks!

[@togrultogrul1952]

What if they just dont fall on their knees, they stand on legs

[@juliorivera6732]

This guy is Genius....he knows what it takes.

[@FR-ty5vn]
