Keys To The Duck Under Takedown by John Smith

[@ChumblesMumbles]

Damn he's 54 years old and still pops that move like greased lightning.

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

🤗👍🏻

[@ronaldlaroche5355]

Please tell me he’s older than 54 in this vid

[@IControlTheStatic]

hes not, peobably sparring hard

[@CHARLIGHTER]

Lol who the hell gives a great video like this a thumbs down crazy this is gold

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

💯

[@ryanwilliams9984]

Yeah, one of the greatest technicians in the sport. What's to hate?

[@jessejess9456]

The guys that constantly got ducked 😂 Great Vodeo

[@richrodriguez8520]

Someone that John hit it on years ago

[@jamescraig5321]

Had to be a slip of the thumb

This is absolute gold, how lucky we are nowadays to get this information for free

[@Brascobadboy]

Amazing. These kids are so lucky now a days

[@CorbinB-Rax]

Drives down value, sadly. C'est la vie

[@theoriginaltemp]

The amount of enjoyment of wrestling coming out of this guy at this age is crazy, it reminds me of my wrestling/science teacher. He’s 60 years old and probably in the best shape of his life, he’s a navy veteran, he’s worked at our school for more than 25 years and is still as spry as he was when he started

[@kallepikku4991]

Wrestlers are so dominating in MMA. And then you have this guy, head above everyone else.

[@daviddarroch6661]

The visible passion for the technique at around 7:00 is just so nice to see, when a guy loves a move he teaches it so well

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

😉👍🏼

[@daveallen5342]

My thoughts exactly.

[@TheJahool]

dude its so great to see

[@pabloklecker7967]

Awesome explanation, awesome teacher, awesome man, true legend!

[@djalalmalaev5285]

John Smith is the best freestyle wrestler in the history of the United States. And one of the best in the world. The unsurpassed king of foot passes.

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

[@JamesBTV14]

Very good coach, his athletes are lucky to have him

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

🤗👍🏻

[@aronalvord]

True champions share their wealth of knowledge and what a great example of that! Thank You!

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

🤗👍🏻

[@BigDave423]

Yes. Knowledge not shared is wasted.

[@Tdinh79]

John smith and Jesse leng are bar none some of the best technicians I have found on youtube. They are sooooo thorough on every facet of what they are teaching- body part(s) positioning; drive; angle; feel and even adjustments to the shot if it doesnt unfold as told. Videos like these are a gold mine that many people dont utilize, imo. I got the jden cox and bo nickals videos from fanatic wrestling...and they are awesome too.....especially for the low price! Thanks guys!

[@cyc6016]

he is quick like never old

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

🤗👍🏻

[@morphling337]

I consider myself a duck under and arm drags specialist. I've never seen the duck executed like this. It's almost like a combination of a standard duck and a long arm drag. SO good. I can't wait to try it.

[@lclement04]

I consider u a homosexual

[@kaijublue1151]

do they work well together? can you chain them?

[@oscarlebassiste3530]

Nice, I learned about the duck-under by reading In One Person by John Irving. He really explained it very well!

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

🤗

[@Pifagorass]

BJJ guys have so many techniques transferred from Go to no-Gi for ground work, but for standing wrestling has impressive skills to learn from. Thanks 👍

[@curtiswilson5612]

He's still, without a doubt, my favourite wrestler of all time!!

[@new.wxrld66]

The way he teaches is amazing. You can tell wrestling isn’t just money to him.

[@jericomacphee]

This has been a very high percentage technique for me. Thank you John smith

[@littlebattx]

This is marvelous 🤼🥇 The detail, the breakdown, the passion. 👊🏼🔥

[@clayhamm9078]

Unbelievable how fast he still is!

[@farhaadmardaaneh2670]

Thank you Mr. Smith. It was instructive. I have a query to posit. Should a wrestler focus on one trick until s/he finishes it? For example, you have focused on ducking under. Will you keep focused on that art or will you always watch for other cracks and fissures to have the opportunity to conduct another trick or art. This is important to me so I would really appreciate your answer, please.

[@skymanchronicles8936]

Attn. to detail at its finest!

[@jesseruark5323]

Not to be a stickler or anything, Its John Smith for Pete's sake but, he is coaching a penetration step with the lead foot yet not actually penetrating with it; just changing levels. I do it the same way and most people who are comfortable with the duck have formed this habit as well. I am sure Smith is more than comfortable with the duck and that is perhaps a gross understatement (lol). Do you think this is the case with experienced "duckers" because they understand the necessary pressure and the feel of the move or, is the penetration step something you do earlier learning the technique to almost "force the duck" when there is not enough resistance?

[@Fiteclipz]

Feel like it’s a bit of both

[@joshroa9111]

so sick

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

🤗

[@chriswitek9455]

god i love duck unders. i love em off a collar tie, second he pushes in i take an outside step as i drop all the way to the mat holding onto that head or rotating over to a half as hes going down

[@keithatcompass]

that was one of the best instructional videos

[@spladlemania]

Well done, Oakie!

[@Ajayguitard]

wow this move is absolutely beautiful.

[@toddvance1568]

0.5 speed is JUST about slow enough for me to see all that's going on ... so awesome.

[@youhazel67]

Great content, much needed details!

[@herbalayurvedic1294]

Thanks a lot sir...... superb....

[@noahcaballero8669]

[@laerciomabota2117]

That's awesome move right there

[@caferacergaming5104]

Amazing! Thank you

[@ajandrew4197]

Great vidio

[@us-Bahn]

What’s fascinating is the explanation of existing forces in a given position and where they tend to resolve which creates an opening to penetrate and score. Those aren’t easy to see or understand without a lot of experience.

[@リバたん-o1t]

ありがとう！

[@jamieb.7095]

5:18 he stabs his knee right into the mat and extends his right hip inward

[@daviddavid-kr4br]

Really 💓 thanks sir

[@treyb3693]

It's John Smith and Jordan Boroughs as the best US wrestlers in history. Interesting that he wants the deceptive tactic of having the head on the opposite side of the duck under.

[@fanaticwrestling3904]

🔥

[@marcoglara2012]

The legend!

[@pauldarling330]

fantastic video but I laugh every time his partner thinks its time to wrestle and coach stops and starts talking again. all respect to the great one. His passion for the sport hasn't ebbed at all.

[@alexarteau7353]

Beautiful

[@jonnyhernandez4502]

I hardly ever finished my duck under in a duck under fashioned. Usually it was my set up for a double. Never my 2nd plan tbh lol

[@deepakpatil4566]

Sir very NICE, but what's meaning of cowboys.

[@justinsemerad1946]

He is the head coach for Oklahoma State University Cowboys and the video was taken in their practice facility.

[@Rainbow_Oracle]

A cowboy is a person who herds cattle for a living.

[@mgreene011]

Lol 😂

[@Poxybread]

This man wrestles the cow as well as the man?
