This was amazing, our coach always emphasised russian ties and this is great material to work on and improve with. Thanks so much!

[@morgancollins6358]

Never thought I’d see the day someone made Greco-Roman seem even remotely interesting well done Ryan

[@andrewferris1903]

Damn, that was impressive.

Excellent when is part 2 coming?

[@ikitaro4928]

Excellent video and site...But why my previous comment was erased ? Comment in wich i suggest,one "Film Study" with another Cuban and one of the greatest Greco-Roman wrestlers of all times ,Mijain Lopez,still active in search of his 4th Olympic Gold in the categoriy of 120-130 kg....(On top of his 5 Worlds Championships and 4 Panamericans Golds ?

[@rayzebbs6614]

Do a video on the finishers. I'm getting the tie thanks to this video. But I'm not 100% sure what to do afterwards lol

[@Coach-MG]

Awesome series. Can you cover some of the technical russian wrestlers like the Saitev Brothers after?

[@TheFightSite]

I'm working on an Arsen Fadzayev one right now!

[@Coach-MG]

@@TheFightSite 🔥🔥🔥 awesome. Looking forward to it

[@SauceMario]

Interesting. I've used the Russian tie often in jiujitsu and while there's differences, that hand fighting showed a lot I wasn't picking up on.

[@TheFightSite]

Russian ties are great for BJJ as well. Great way to isolate an arm for a butterfly sweep or set up an arm drag to the back

[@SauceMario]

The most common and effective defense used against me when I get this grip is for them to use their far hand to post on my chest/shoulder area. Sometimes with forearm across the throat. Any tips or video you can suggest for dealing with this effectively?

[@TheFightSite]

@@SauceMario If you mean on the feet, when they're reaching across to post you can pop the arm up and shoot a double to the far hip, or duck under to the back

[@ikitaro4928]

@@TheFightSite Hello,Hope my comment about Mijain Lopez will be posted

[@mubarkqardas46]

Hey guys, can this get the part two?

[@user-tv1tp2fr1u]

[@mlc808]
