Ismail Musukaev's Unique "Sprinter Shot": Full Breakdown

Ismail Musukaev is probably the most explosive wrestler competing right now

[@samuelgardner5939]

This is as good or better than every other technique breakdown out there. Multiple examples, you point out what is common among the holds as well as the slight differences, and you don't do too much slow motion. Good effort.

[@earnyourgold]

Thank you. I appreciate that a lot. Going to keep the videos coming.

[@MNaeem5]

@@earnyourgold I agree,most slow it down too often which does not really help when it gets sped up. Plus others stop the film for way too long IMO while they talk. You also show multiple examples which is on point.

[@counterkidnapping1737]

He's like a dog or wolf

[@frynfps93]

he covers so much distance with that shot

[@earnyourgold]

Yeah the dude is super quick and explosive. He has to be extremely fast-twitch dominant which will explain why he gasses out so fast.

Thanks a lot man. Trying my best to post consistently

[@GTL5427]

Good work on this one brother. Unique technique and great commentary/playback. Well done sir.

[@earnyourgold]

Thank you man. That means a lot. I have more videos coming soon. Going to be busy this year. Trying to grow the channel as much as I can

[@BissellMapleFarm]

How does this channel only have 721 subs? This is really good stuff.

We’re just getting started. 600 of those subscribers came in the last month. Thank you for the compliment man. Means a lot

I’d call it the bear shot, cause he does a quick bear crawl

[@SheriffofYouTube]

nice breakdown

[@NicholasBasile]

Wow... this just isn't fair. He'd probably be behind my 300 lb ass before I even sprawled. Great breakdown!

[@somebodywhocares9293]

He learned that from watching Chimps fighting/playing. That's what it reminds me of...

[@TheLochs]

Damn, his speed!

[@earnyourgold]

Yeah he's super quick

[@thedopesickshow]

I train judo/bjj twice daily (also box) and REGRET TERRIBLY that I did not wrestle. As an adult there aren’t many options to learn wrestling, I’ve looked for private training willing to pay $80+ an hour and can’t find it! Judo is Greco Roman with a gi basically, but to learn wrestling I’m having to use KZbin to learn. Btw, training keeps me clean but I was a heroin addict (off heroin since April 9th 2010) and did 5 years fed time. If you’re into prison stories and martial arts check my channel out, just started it.

[@rockygilpen7951]

I love the videos but the smacking of the lips was getting a little much LOL

[@hensen5309]

He got this from me gah

[@bloocifer]

i tell u what. We had a big boy in high school who had to cut weight to make heavyweight. He waS as round as a bowling ball but this boy was athletic. We spent years teaching him how to hit a low single (lmao) and i shit u not, when he was a senior we got him hittin low singles on other heavyweights. it was the greatest thing ive ever seen . (folkstyle wrestling)

[@clifton4566]

That's insane. You'd think going to all fours before the shot would be enough of a tell to avoid it, but obviously not.

[@srt8up4shot]

2:22 there’s this explosiveness the second he’s on all fours to his shot. I’ve never seen explosiveness like that generated from a all fours position. Very cool and primal/animalistic movement.

[@gratefulkev1]

animal crawls workouts? As someone who's never wrestled, I think I see parts of a monkey crawl, lizard or bear crawl in his movement.

[@VinylUnboxings]

I don't wrestle but good stuff

[@earnyourgold]

Thank you

[@Umtree]

Balls on balls. The only reason I can’t get into wrestling. Looks fun though. I’d get to hard, couldn’t hide it. Would be embarrassing.

[@emanuel6233]

[@trumplostlol3007]

Unlike BJJ which is very monotonic, wrestling is really multifaceted. BJJ moves are very predictable cause it is almost always trying to attack the opponent's center of gravity from the front. The lateral movements in wrestling are what killing BJJ easily. Not only can't BJJ attack the CG of a wrestler directly, the wrestler's lateral movement will always hit a BJJ guy's front leg. Judo is another story though, at least in theory. BTW, this guy's technique is basically attacking the opponent's front leg. As long as his opponent steps forward, he will have a front leg. Mussukaev basically just moves to the blind side of the opponent to attack his front leg (watch carefully at 2:22 the right leg movement of his opponent).

[@misanthropicmusings4596]

Bruh, this wrestler is amazing -- as I mostly follow college and some high school I'd never heard of him. Equally wonderful, is your breakdown of the method.

[@earnyourgold]

Thank you. I appreciate it

[@darksidetraining9815]

Great breakdown!

[@earnyourgold]

Preciate it!

[@anardistformerlynigel5250]

Reminds me of how a dog or wolf circles to get an advantageous angle, going to all fours definitely accentuates this. Perhaps there's inspiration for a name somewhere in that.

[@Hyumanity]

Four legs technique (Naruto)

[@Cochise6666]

I've watched most of those matches but you pointed several things I was totally unaware of, like his faking going all the to the ground after being snapped so he can do his lunge. Good analysis

[@earnyourgold]

Thanks man. Going to keep the videos coming

[@АланКавказкийАс]

[@user-cq6dg6ql9j]

At no point does he flatten out. He strikes and his legs inexplicably recoil so rapidly back under his torso. Phenomenal agility.

[@Leveer13]

Henry Cejudo did something similar to this to set up his low single, You can find it in his Beat the Streets match. Would LOVE to see your thoughts. I love your breakdowns. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIKXiJuZmsujhNU

@@earnyourgold well you have made a great start. Ive been a wrestler and grappler since I was 9 years old (40 years) and I really appreciate your breakdowns. The sport has changed SOOOOOO MUCH.

[@stevemcnally6471]

I love the way he waits for his opponent to just start to retract after they react. It provides him with just a blink of time which is enough. I remember I would train in an open wrestling club there was this 112 guy and he moved like this it's just very difficult to defend against.

[@thomasheller1526]

Head is always up too

[@brucesteinel]

It's very simple and very slick, Great breakdown.

[@earnyourgold]

Thank you

[@Leveer13]

My son's main influences on his feet are John Smith and J'Den Cox. I think he would love this approach as well. He spends a lot of time on his knees and faking before shooting.

[@earnyourgold]

Your son must be a killer athlete if he can mimic those two

[@Leveer13]

@@earnyourgold that's a common misconception. Both J'Den Cox AND John Smith were heavily reliant on fakes/feints. Makes you look a lot more athletic then you really are.

[@earnyourgold]

@@Leveer13 very true. Jordan Burroughs also talks about that. Says his timing ability is underrated because everyone just assumes he’s just super quick and athletic

[@Leveer13]

@@earnyourgold I have listened to J'Den explain his side-side fakes and footwork on his Fanatic Wrestling DVD and at clinics, everyone ignores him. (Except me.) John Smith had his level change fakes.

sprinter shot is a good name... but how about "werewolf snatch" ?

[@RogerPack]

What an unusual shot. Ahh he's a russian that wrestles for Hungary, that makes more sense :) How would you counter this?

[@earnyourgold]

Well when he does it he’s shooting from pretty far out. So either have the reaction time to react fast enough to stop it and watch film in order prepare for it, so you know what’s coming. People just don’t expect someone to shoot from that position

[@ГаляГаля-г9г]

ДА. УЖ БОГАТА , КАРАЧАЕВОБАЛКАРИЯ НА ТАЛАНТЫ . ЭТО ФАКТ!

[@hectordehesa2118]

This was great. Almost like a “sloppy” high crotch. I love how he goes on all 4s. It makes the opponent take a step forward putting the weight on the front foot.

[@ito6220]

[@marksoberay2318]

Hmmm i wonder if this would work if taught to typical hs or college wrestlers, or is this purely athletic

[@earnyourgold]

To be honest, my guess is no. Musukaev is arguably more explosive or equal to explosiveness as Jordan Burroughs just watching all of his matches. I do think that kids who are naturally quick should give it a try though

[@dunkelwalde695]

No.

[@RogerPack]

Might work for folkstyle. Until people get wise to it.

[@VinylUnboxings]

Its a TKO technique. Twitchy Kids Only

[@Thepykie23]

@@earnyourgold IMO this is working for him against people at his level, but because he's explosive compared to his level. So I think it would work for the kids that are more inclined toward speed and explosiveness than the average kid at their level. Basically, I don't see why it wouldn't work for the right kids, but there is no typical kid in my mind. My son is practicing it now, but not because we expect him to hit it, but we think learning to move on the mat like this, and to explode in will help the rest of his techniques.

[@starchild2121]

That guy is really fast! Wish I had known these things back in highschool.

[@Royalenfielda]

Hey mate just wondering if there would be a reason he favours circling to the opponents right leg rather than left? Is it because he is a right lead himself?

[@N8rGrant]

Can't watch this.... Dude show the live speed, before u just break it down in slo mo. Straight unbearable.

[@Dtsar-ny8en]

What would be the anatomy to excel in this move? it looks like you would need short legs for this, and an innate level of explosive ability to make this a signature move like muszukaiev
