MASTER the Elbow Control Tie-up for MORE Takedowns!!

[@dongalt4203]

initial contact/control points are the basis for grappling for all systems. this was a good reminder to practice the basics,... they are the foundation upon which the rest lie, the importance of which cannot be overstated. thanks coach, i haven't trained with you, but i have a vague recollection of you from a couple of events. i'm an old man now, but your vids help to remind me of the things i need to show to the young studs. keep up the good work, i continue to enjoy your vids.

not true. it is all about the hooks. grappling hooks

[@conwaytwitty8634]

Wow. Who gives that much detail on GRIPS? No one. Amazing video. Your students appear very confident in their technique.

[@halfman58]

Thank you for the vid, tonight someone tried 2 on 1 Russian hold on me, and I knew exactly what to do, you showed in one of your past vids. Thanks again for all these. They are awesome.

[@cygnus108]

So detailed... no chanel like this.. thank you for sharing.

[@kallepikku4991]

I usually just go through the Thumb Blocks in an downward angle. Get that nice rip effect. Works especially good against grapplers since their fingers are not as well developed as wrestlers. Pro tip: if you're in competition, up the angle by few degrees and you might hurt the opponent's thumb when blasting through it. He'll be handicapped for the rest of the match.

Great stuff! High C to double was our high school’s bread and butter

[@theresponsiblyviolentcitizen]

Great vid brother. Also to remind people saying what if hes got a super fast takedown??? Single leg on concrete equals fight over due to fucked up knee. Takedowns in the street are always slower.

Man, I watched a John Smith instructional on this exact technique a while back, but I never really picked it up. I found what I was missing by watching your video! You have to crowd them to pop off their inside tie! So helpful! Many thanks!

[@wd-id4th]

Great instruction and good to watch. Clear concise 👍thank you 🙏

[@diabolic42090]

I'm glad you addressed when the thumb is too hard to break, that's a problem I've run into

[@styvensbelloge1703]

Great content as usual. So much details 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 I have Jon Smith DVDs and didn't catch that much detail about breaking the thumb block.

[@gegaoli]

Great stuff

[@Beaunage]

Hey coach! Thanks for the video. Would you be able to do a video on the single leg (Head outside) or takedowns from a standing 100% or 200%? Thank you!

Out of curiosity, is the "running them across the mats for distance" a wrestling thing? I am learning wrestling for bjj, and I'm pretty novice so this is not something I've heard before.

[@baldeagleclaw]

Beautiful. Looks Like mantis GRIP vs Eagle claw.

[@kevinh6135]

Remove the warm-up with drills from Russia hello🤙

[@craigcrissman4651]

Точно. Although the best schools in America already use similar drills to warm up rather than the near useless running around the mat type stuff a lot of places use. Drilling has always been a better way as its a more efficient use of time.

[@martialmarauder7731]

Coach Brian, have you ever considered Capoeira for takedowns and agility?
