My man, could you demo all throws & takedowns on the dummy? If not I understand but I'd really appreciate it. I do most solo on my dummies. Thanks for considering. Great stuff!

[@eddiehazard3340]

You are the Matt Thornton of Greco. Thanks so much. My gym will be working this tonight.

[@oneshadowdragon]

The intros are hilarious

[@Gabupepo]

Bird call made me subscribe lol, such a fun coach haha

[@frankperrella1202]

I love Greco Roman Wrestling I did it In highschool, & Sambo, Tangsoodo & Systema. 🙏🥋🥊🥊 Love the Wrestling 👍

[@oneshadowdragon]

This channel is straight gold 😁

[@guitarfan84]

Coach can you do a breakdown of a twisting body lock for Greco?

[@abcdef-kx2qt]

excellent ! I use some thing like this in muay thai clinch throws ! Your demonstrations are very good .

[@nickb2631]

Amazing! As always!

[@Triggernometry7]

Can we please get a video showing all Greco Roman takedowns/throws? ❤️

[@championsINC]

You are a great teacher.

[@sedul2006]

Awesome. Love the intro

[@Triggernometry7]

You’re a fucking legend dude, very successful channel in the making here! Subscribed!

[@CheyenneAmen]

Very dope! I dig how you broke this down… 👍🏿

[@jsl8461]

This is so well explained, thanks coach. I've always been amazed by this family of techniques -- ie, dropping the opponent backwards onto their butt without tripping a leg, it looks like magic when done in competition -- and I love this pinch headlock entry that you showed. I had a question -- if you're doing FS where tripping the leg is allowed, do you think the inside trip is mechanically superior for the average wrestler? Or would you say it just boils down to preference -- ie, a GR wrestler who is awesome at this technique probably doesn't need to learn the inside trip. I know it's subjective, just wanted to get your opinion.

Who the heck dislikes that great video ohh nobody

[@johntindell9591]

Thanks

[@rafaelcarrera9436]

Is hooking with the legs (inside and outside trips) a part of Greco-Roman? Greco-Roman seems more coordinated with MMA than freestyle/folkstyle due to the majority of time being in a more vertical posture for striking instead of bent over with arms extended waiting and looking for opportunities to shoot or ankle pick. Greco-Roman mat work also adds a great layer to BJJ in that it helps make any positional transition much more grinding and taxing on the opponent.

[@Djiddoo]

Its illegal in greco

[@elguapo4236]

This guy's hillarious

[@ajithsidhu7183]

Pls do one for self defence

[@ericr2617]

So non-greco rules, do you add the inside trip to it?

[@tomsooty8328]

Can you put your head on the other side? I'd wanna keep my grip and go straight into a body lock pass when landed but I'd want my hands not to get trapped under him. Is that possible.

[@endless__r4ge_623]

Personally i feel like the gable grip is is superior because of the Gable breaks you get straight to an S grip

[@arkalonalan]

Same way I learned it

[@clonewarsfan2774]

Could this be used in folkstyle

[@thos1618]

Inside Trip without the leg?

[@auld_boy]

Any different points to consider when doing this from double under hooks?

[@MAXIMUS23556]

If you start this with double underhooks, you give your opponent more space to control their head and torso (which is negated by building this up with head pinch control). You should be fine if you start head pinch and manage to get double under-h smoothly without giving him time to defend.

[@theodrake2394]

its also known as a high dive in greco.

[@jeegunugger1871]

2:29 bruh, imagine if that was a women demonstrating instead heh

[@jamessouza7065]

Lmfao!

[@arthurfleck8777]

This would be better if you were wearing different coloured outfits so its easier to tell you two apart when you are doing the moves.

[@Rotary_Phone]

Man, this ain't rasslin! I came here to see some rasslin!
