[13:33] He explains how to move through the front and switch from double to single leg for specific situations.

The speaker advises doing the drill and finding ways to improve.

You know the instruction is amazing when no one in the comments is talking about the absolute gem of a rashguard mr Jorgen has.

[@nadkarnia]

I wish I could give more than one like. As a BJJ guy in a gym that doesn't do too many takedowns, this is blowing my mind.

Thank you!

Absolutely one of the best seminars I've seen! Great instruction and really gives you a great set of drills you can take back to your gym and rep. Thank you very much!

[@JorgenMatsi]

Thank you!

[@BrandonWilliams-wf6hg]

24 take downs. 2 head position x 2 grips (single or double leg) x 2 body position (in front or behind) x 3 types of takedowns (lift, block, spiral). 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

[@JorgenMatsi]

Thanks... now thinking about it it's actually 18 - back being a single position what does not differentiate in regards 1 or 2 legs and neither head inside or outside...

[@BrandonWilliams-wf6hg]

@@JorgenMatsi yes thank you. I just know the math process for showing how many possible options and not the specific details. Only things I know of wrestling is basics of what you taught. 18 is still a lot of takedowns haha. Thank you sir.

@@JorgenMatsi That's too bad, i seriously loved this session, and your instruction. Have you considered filming as an instructional? I'd absolutely pay for instruction of this quality.

[@JorgenMatsi]

I somewhat think the time of paid instructionals is over ... Open Source Grappling it is :) Spread the good word and ask me over to do a seminar at some point ;)

[@mightymightymo1]

@@JorgenMatsi Hahaha - while I'm a huge fan of open source, fiscal remuneration often provides impetus to ensure that all the material gets filmed!! 🤣 Thankd for sharing your IP - it has had a noticeable impact on my TD game after only a single drilling session.

[@shrimuyopa8117]

I am curious about the head positioning still because you would have to move your head to the inside before they lock their hands together.

[@JorgenMatsi]

You mean for the guillotine defence? No, not really. If the hands are not yet locked it's easy to move towards the back as well. If they are locked and your posture is getting compromised you lower your stance to regain posture and shuck/turn to put your forehead into their armpit and then it pops to the front and no more guillotine.

really great instruction, Thank you.

[@usbsol]

So being 6'3" (and 80kgs) I often feel vertically challenge in getting low enough - any ideas? Also thanks for sharing the class - very nice breakdown!

[@JorgenMatsi]

Being taller one needs to wrestle alot in upper body working with snapdown as one of the main threats / first attacks. Also foot sweeps and trips.

[@Matto_Harvo]

[@JorgenMatsi]

@@DevonD.B anyone who is taller than their opponent has an easier time snapping their opponent down (compared to said opponent). Anyone who is shorter than their opponent has an easier time getting under their arms (and to hips and legs) (compared to said taller opponent). Still, unless the height discrepancy is huge, you need both threats viable :)

Too long lecture, 😢

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Very bad entry, thats easy to stop, and apply gilliotine. Only good tip he made here is at very end, the knee block

[@JorgenMatsi]

Did you even watch the video? It is not about "the" entry - it is just to get you started on being in on the hips. If head outside you defend via putting head on inside. Also, head inside positions are NOT safe from guillotines. What makes you safe from guillotines is timing, awareness and defence (as early as possible).
