Top 3 Moves For Lanky Athletes!

[@luizmelo8611]

As a lanky grappler, I can't thank you enough. Keep those videos coming coach!

[@richardstylez1950]

Great video. I'm 6'4 as well, considering starting jiu jitsu. I'm happy to see there are benefits having long limbs.

[@paintdrops]

I loved the no-gi Ezekiel from the back! Thanks for sharing!

[@cyrilleoural4410]

I am a lanky purple belt, 1m87 75kg and recently i was doing a lot of Ezekiel Choke because i dont know it seems so easy to do for me, from mount, back, side control so i am glad to see that it is really a technique used for lanky players, its a great technique, i will definitely see the darce Choke

[@daveclifford7895]

Thanks Tom , this is brilliant for me at 6’5. And 238lbs 💪Especially the Ezqrill choke

[@ZMCrowell]

Are there more body type lessons in the Box Set? I would love this repeated (without the grinder noise and cut-out of sound) so I can watch over and over!

[@jondoh8956]

Thanks for this, it’s helped

[@ezerand1978]

So grateful for this

[@StillRolling]

Great stuff as always, love all of these techniques being a 6'3 jiujitero 🤙

[@schism1986]

Coach Tom I don't mean to be an asshole but this new editing is a bit much sometimes. Just let the video run, don't cut the sound and make me read and look at the moves at the same time, the slow-mo is a bit much as well, less is more in my opinion! You have great content, no need to get quirky! Sorry I don't want to ruin your editors day, I mean this in most constructive way possible!

[@gedforrest2547]

I agree with this guy; the written tips on-screen are useful as a "summary" at the end of a move, but generally Tom's verbal explanation is excellent anyway so it's not really needed *during* the move

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Thanks for the feedback. This video unfortunately was hijacked by noisy commercial neighbours and was going to be discarded so we had to make lots of edits to make it watchable. It wasn't intentional! (-: Professor Tom Davey

[@chazagameshd6705]

That was mainly because there was a grinder noise

[@meanmach5896]

Great details coach!

[@matthewfrancisbroderick3811]

thanks Coach Tom! love your tips and the philosophy of using what we have. long live the panther chisel fist!

[@rikh78]

love it, this is perfect for me, 6'6" 205 lbs

[@CarolinaPride95]

sheesh lol im 5'6" 140 lbs

[@anonymouse7095]

How about some tips to help me stop from getting my stupid giraffe neck choked and cranked all the time?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Haha block the hands and shrug the shoulders (-: Professor Tom Davey

[@RonSavage01]

Never seen that Ezekiel. I love it

[@igorobradovic2669]

Hi coach, i have an interesting question about a 3rd tehnique. First of all i am a lanky grappler and Darce and triangle are my absolute favourites with very good succes in competition. Actually your Darce videos really helped me. Now about a question about a 3rd tehnique. How do you prevent your opponent to unlock your choke/lock in no gi since he has both of his arms free? Thanks

[@lulu4life57]

Needed this! Would love a video on moves for weak people haha

[@raderws]

6’4 damn. Great lesson professor

[@NadirMessaïShorts]

Top !

[@chris013579]

Thanks for sharing your happy disposition. That in itself is good value.

[@oreocarlton3343]

Very interesting, but what is the reverse? Stouty/athletic built based bjj moves?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

yep (-: Professor Tom Davey

[@uthmanbarry9436]

Can you do for short ppl?

[@definitelynottigerwhitten5865]

6' and 155, 75" reach let's go.

[@konstantinos-antoniosbme-m6472]

Thank you Tom!🤙🤘🤙

[@prithvib8662]

So is the Nogi version of the last choke (head and arm Ezekiel) basically the RNC?

[@victordunca5299]

It's an arm in rnc

[@mitch9345]

Coach, I can’t find this done on Garcia anywhere how do I find this?

[@JC-wj5os]

Forget this, i need moves to defend against lanky grapplers!

[@tobymaples7646]

were you one of the four thumbs down? lol

[@JC-wj5os]

@@tobymaples7646 lol, nah i always upvote vids. its all free ffs

[@ChrisPBacon-yt8hi]

there are already enough of those, which is the point of the video

[@juanlee1714]

Secret kung-fu death karate panther chisel fist. 💀💀😂😂

[@konstantinos-antoniosbme-m6472]

Yeah, 2.02m here! I want more fucking lanky moves💪💪💪

[@Sadoskya]

Long legs are good for triangles but triangles are high risk - opponent is going to stack and pass. Also it's hard to actually choke people with skinny legs.

[@christopherpakney8542]

It's not just a triangle...The trick is to have a combo sequence, Triangle to Omo to Arm Bar. The counter to one usually opens the entry for the next. At 6'6" 205 this is effective for me as I am almost always the taller player. Several times people have commented how frustrating my long legs were, especially being flexible.

[@brocolinhofds]

Cool video. But maybe wait for the outside noise to stop before you record the final version next time. It’s not very didactic having to mute the explanation.

[@BushRat253]

How about the opposite? I’ve got short, thick limbs. Locking up a triangle is nearly impossible for me (yes, yes it’s all about angles 😜).

[@Cloughyj463]

Good John Danaher lesson on YT for ways to solve that mate 👍

[@brandonovich6063]

There's a great channel called chewjitsu, he's great and a more stocky shorter limbed guy, he's got a large whitebelt playlist some are aimed for your body type 😊.

[@1982Jigsaw]

Nice

[@eschelar]

So many skinny, lanky guys. So many tips that work for lanky students. How about tips for stubby short thick guys? Haha. I just saw your darce choke video and you said it's good for any body type, but really good for lanky guys. The darce is really hard to do for stubby thick short guys.

[@yodizzll]

YOUR 220?!

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Yes Sir, trying to stay at or under 220 for masters worlds and the las vegas gi and nogi opens (-: Professor Tom Davey
