Most Important Concept In BJJ Standing Position For Successfully Scoring Takedowns

[@josephbreza-grappling9459]

The head coach of the Olympic team, my collegiate coach, said this “wrestling starts when he pushes back.” You get his head lower by getting inside control and pushing him. He will stop you. If he doesn’t, run him out of bounds. Do it again. When he stops you, that is when you snap. That will lower his head far more than any of the fakes will. You are directing his momentum. Fake once without intent and the second, third, and fourth pose no threat. If you push and he continues to stall, then you blast double near the out of bounds, snatch single, or osoto gari. Make no mistake about it, if he has legitimate wrestling experience and you fake, and then reach for him, he will post at your elbows and take you down easily. The fundamentals for moving people out of position begins with you establishing inside control so that you control him all over the mat. He will try to redirect, which is where essentially all your offense will come from. I hope this helps. It’s the foundation of where all positional advantage takes place and is the cornerstone of wrestling offense.

Got a video on your channel illustrating this exact principle?

[@josephbreza-grappling9459]

@@stantoncochran536 yes I do. I could have and should have gone into more detail on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3WVan6QdsSUkKs I talk about it at the end of this video when John is teaching a single leg too kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3aqfX6knNl3m5o If he is stalling, I show how to use osoto gari, blast double, etc kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqrIqmWYjZ6BirM I have numerous videos on posting at the elbows.

Wrestling is geh

[@mariog4095]

This is the kind of grappling content I look for. Moves are cool, but tactical/strategic concepts are what really helps my game!

[@giancarlobodonibjj]

Glad you enjoyed, Mario!

[@andreagrazianodibenedetto1464]

I agree. I find this to be the big difference between Danaher and his students and other grappling content creators.

[@meetthemasters754]

*More of these principle and tactical based videos please!!* 🙏🙏🙏🤗 This is the info thats really wanted. Not another 17th way of doing a double leg.

[@alotafhindi7485]

Not only do u have to learn takedowns but how to set them up too. Which is a whole art in and of itself and it’s where you begin to take your game to the next level.

Saturday August 26,2023 1127hrs I have BOTH of your instructionals.

[@patrickortiz6431]

Man, and, 1:19 that's my main downfall when I'm on my back, and often it happens EXTREMELY what you showed, especially since I'm a featherweight. I found it incredible

[@schenksteven1]

In wrestling we teach it from the other side. If I want my base solid then I need to keep my shoulders over the knee on my lead leg. If my shoulders are over my knees I am off balance to the front, if my shoulders are behind my knees then I am off balance to the rear. (Of course some of this is rule set dependent as the takedown rules are not the same in both sports)

[@mixxeerr]

fantastic concept!

[@PaulJohn283]

Fantastic flow between positions and movement. Does anyone know the name of the throw at 5:20? Ever since I saw Gordon use it, added it to my game and I have been hitting it all the time!

[@giancarlobodonibjj]

Yes it’s a rear drop taiotoshi

[@giancarlobodonibjj]

working on improving audio - stay tuned in future videos.

[@Deadward1113]

Good morning!🤘

[@giancarlobodonibjj]

👊

[@yasuh4550]

The video is cool, but showing a competition example (which tend to be fast) right at the moment where you're actually demoing the takedown is a bit tough

[@bjjlunatics]

Giancarlo back with yuri simoes again. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@giancarlobodonibjj]

[@watchdog117]

[@giancarlobodonibjj]

We are working on improving audio quality soon.
