[MrRavehollar]

[deltaleaderxx7]

Take your MMA skills to the next level!

[xXAd4MXx]

0:38 - Isn't he just going to hit you in the face.... ?

[kaoticfighter]

@xXAd4MXx the move is going to be done alot faster in a fight and your opponent is going to worry more of his position on the ground than trying to punch you in the face while falling backwards.

[iDarksanta]

You just Siccor'd another man. how do you feel.

[ehsdrummer112]

Im not really sure why you would something less risky like a wizzer trip? "Hey today were teaching a scissor takedown, chances are its not gonna work and your gonna end up mounted and submitted, but hey its flashy!"

[TheDarknessObsesst]

lol, he would never be able to pull that off on me, unless he does it in 0.0001 seconds..

[brottarnacke]

@TheDarknessObsesst Yeah, because you're a much better fighter than Anderson Silva. X-D X-D

[IversonRockz]

@brottarnacke ofcourse. aren't you too?

[regionboy13]

MMA is safer than boxing, even if it's more brutal in its techniques. In boxing, you can get knocked down and simply get an 8 count and then get up and fight again. This repetitive brain injury over the course of a match is what kills the boxers, not simply the power of the boxers' punches. In MMA, you only get one chance, and once you get rattled it's over, so there's not as much of a multiple concussion factor.

[Kronos360360]

@regionboy13 This dude FTW! lol

[sbtrudel]

Tried this move today. It can be effective but easily reversable and avoidable. Im gonna work on it more though. Any tips?

[PhilcoreTheLoud]

Nice move. But "flying" leg scissors...? ;D

[shizamza]

arent you supposed to not hook your leg bet put it straight across your belt line??? and then go behind both knees??? and that post thing is dangerous cuz when i do that to people who know it they try to extend they're legs or fall forward, and there is a chance you could snap that arm if you fell

[brottarnacke]

@shizamza You can do that too, but hooking his leg is also a very legit variation. You do it to stop him from instantly countering with a heel hook of his own. There's also a whole series of moves from that position, like scissors into laced legs and Victor's roll into kneebar. There's a guy on youtube called sambosteve who goes through all that in closer detail, look him up.

[josh1212121]

isnt this a sambo move?

[kenpachii100]

0:01 "Hey im gonna show you a scissor take down alright" LMAO!!

[Hutchdontcare]

Nice video, not really a flying scissor though....you plant

[gerbilehunter]

@Hutchdontcare ur a plant.

[xXxShockerRxXx]

This is ripped grom Sambo

[xXxShockerRxXx]

This is from Sambo Russian

[logiebear107]

Ok, so lets get this straight, it's risky and only do it because it's flashy? yeah i wouldn't try it.

[CrunkKid911]

@ziadalhakim muay thai

[bananabread119]

What the hell take the text down we can't see the move??

[zackdx]

@bananabread119 u can take off the text look for cc button

[sisudo21]

ive never seen this takedown before but it looks really cool and fairly easy to pull off

[MyRosaryRomance]

lol Naga. our Joshu is the NAGA champ right now XD

[darthfoti]

yeah, use that in any real fight... -_- fucking retard.

[ScreamingKengaroo]

@darthfoti Technically, you can use it in a real fight, Just not with The Leg Hooked in. Since The Russian Army Soldiers use Sambo Which Has this Technique and They probably use it in wars. Besides, I have Used this in a real fight and in you do it with full force in your hips, you can hurt the guy real bad because his head hits the floor, and His Knees a little impact and you can follow up with an Achilles Lock and Tear his tendon.

[MMAcosta22]

This technique reminds me of anderson silva being submitted by ryo chonnan.

[22tailfox]

I think that this can be easily reversed though, if he moved his left foot back and turned towards him, there would be nothing to trip. Sooo this would have to be done, VERYYY fast and the guy you would have to be taking down would have to not know a whole lot about grappling. But otherwise pretty good move but I would use other methods that you have in other vids. rather then this one, just seems to risky to me.

[Nikesports101]

@22tailfox true but you can set your right leg differently

[banditdk]

very nice move..

[Rollu85]

Jort

[Zoast]

Great move!

[tylerjm35]

pause at :13 he could easily take you down

[sbonge]

@tylerjm35 he is doing it step by step and very slowly showing us, but in a real match it would take the guy down within seconds.

[Stefanakos84]

Is MMA the same with grappling? Can you please tell me?

[youngdrumma]

@Stefanakos84 man grappling is great u can get a clinch and start dirty boxing u can throw them and catxh them off guard and get a better position then just a regualar takedowm u can get the muai thai clinch and throw some huge knees

[paddotrip12]

And what will happen if mike tyson gives you a right straight punch with no gloves?? you will be dead my friend.

[ipodnanophatty]

what should i take mixed matrial arts or brazilian jujitsu?

[tylerjm35]

@ipodnanophatty MMA



[ColdHearted]

I practice bjj and can say its incredibly overrated for practical use.

[5cl0wn3]

wat do u mean for practical use?

[kornholeo167]

if you know martial arts you could easily disarm them.

[Artin95]

i think it's work be cause you may combine it with a leg lock (i think)

[21MrGarrett21]

not sure if it will work but ....when you take him down and pivit your body to t he other side with your feet still locked on his leg you could go into a Banana Split??not sure if it would work ima test it =D

[redtrunkun]

your own body can be a quite efficient weapon if u know how to use it properly and u can't go out there with a gun everywhere

[chris3813914]

im going on a road trip in august. any martial artist who would like to make some new friends and practice a bit who lives in alabama, georgia, louisiana, nevada, arizona, texas, new nexico, mississippi, or california message me. take care

[syaoranpies]

haha you need a knife, you MUST be weak.

[D1ETRY1N]

wel then you a fag

[hooverbaglegs]

Used to be my number one move in Judo....before they banned it.....a renkowned leg breaker.

[ladedabob]

haha, AlphamonX,

Didn't mean i'd use this move ;p

I've got plenty other moves that if i moved a little bit harder, could seriously/maybe kill people.

Not saying i'd want to kill some one lol

[odin23581]

I plan to move to LA to learn Jun Fan JKD from Dan Inosanto (though I don't like what he's done with JKD) and grappling from Gokor Chivichyan. Look up Gokor's credentials you'll be amazed. Or Kazushi Sakuraba who dominated the Gracie's in PrideFC with his Catch Wrestling from Billy Robinson, or Hidehiko Yoshida with his Judo.

[odin23581]

You mean studying it for situations you do wind up on the ground? I agree. But also consider that BJJ is essentially one aspected of Judo expanded with the rest removed. Jiu Jitsu is overrated in the US because Royce Gracie won the first 4 UFC's in MMA's formative years. Judo/Kadochnikov Systema have some deadly throws. Judo/Sambo/Catch Wrestling are more complete systems IMO.

[raddaradda101]

@odin23581

You need to be more specific, Jiu jiutsu and BJJ are two different things, you cant call jiu jiutsu overrated if you appreciate judo becuase that is where its founder jigoro kano got his ideas, you can call brazilian jiu jiutsu that but do some research before you make statments like that

[odin23581]

Semantics. And I didn't say it's useless, I said it's overrated. People treat it as the only relevant form of grappling. I didn't say it's not relevant. And grappling is a bad idea in a street fight. Those were my 2 points, so now that you're clear, do you dispute what I'm saying?

[raddaradda101]

@odin23581

it all depends to be honest, someone who really knows what they are doing can do a submission extremely quickly and get back on their feet, there are also standing submissions that aren't as risky, i dont believe jiu juitsu is overrated at all. i do think that people dont pay as much attention or credit to other forms of grappling as they should but jui juitsu is very efficient

[odin23581]

Arm locks are great. But as for ground submissions no matter how good you are, even if you are the fastest submission artist in the world, there are limits to how fast it can be done that don't alter that much because of what you are doing. Every second you're on the ground is a second you're defenseless. It's not practical and the only reason someone would do it is because they're uncomfortable with stand up. No offense I just don't want people to piss off a thug by breaking their leg then.....

[jslaton1]

@odin23581 I might of missed part of the conversation, but I agree that when you're fighting more than one opponent in a street fight jiu jiutsu is a bad idea. Other than that, I have found that, unless you have an opponent who knows what to do, people are absolutely stunned when I throw a combo or a kick and take them down. After you put them out of their element like that the fight is absolutely over because most of the time they're expecting a boxing match.

[odin23581]

@jslaton1 I agree, I love to go from a low jab to the groin into a takedown. But I'm talking street fight perspective where a headbutt, eyegouge, pressure point etc is more effective than a lock and can always transition into one. In those fights, I'd just rather avoid that all together. I train for self defence, which to me is what the art is all about. But that's just one perspective.

[Twopillows]

@jslaton1

Why is grappling bad vs more than one person? As any person who's been in a situation like this will tell you, the thing you want to avoid in a group fight is getting stomped by a crowd. My brother was bouncing a club and got pulled off his perch. On his way down he locked the guy's arm and put him in an exaggerated butterfly guard, which helped him use the other guys' body to absorb the damage of the soccer kicks and stomps until help arrived.

[jslaton1]

@Twopillows Did you not see that I agreed that JJ is bad facing more than one opponent?

[piggyoats101]

thats how anderson silva got caught

[34Jeffy]

thats awsome

[turdsandwich8me]

imagine doin a judo throw on tha street that wld atleast leave your opponent with temporary paralysis

[universalpopper]

very true grappling is soooo much more dangerous than any striking form boxing, kickboxing etc. they make it soo safe with mats and tons of rules and refs, but if you fought a dude on the street who was a champion submission wrestler he could dislocated and tear your joints outa the socket and no ref would stop him and the greco slams and judo throws would be lethal on wood, asphalt, concrete, brick wtva.

[MrGilliams]

in the sense of pain but i think boxing in a street fight could cause more perminent injurys like brain damage or put ppl in commas etc. but yea its pretty dangerous to get a joint going the wrong way :P

[ladedabob]

I just think it's funny, because I'm a wrestler in Highschool, and they don't tell you that you can't use any moves you learn on the streets ;p

[boricubadass7]

and iil sue dha shiit out of hiim lol

[odin23581]

Most fights start standing up. To make it your plan to take it to the ground is severely limiting yourself. Your only focus should be defending yourself. Throws and takedowns are situational and should be treated, with respect, but as such. And honestly rules only give the advantage to wrestling. There are plenty of strikes to joints, nerve clusters, eyes, biting etc that are illegal in MMA. Submissions involve vulnerable areas that striking to is illegal because you can't tap.

[odin23581]

And rolling on glass and concrete is very dangerous. And every second you are on the ground is a second you are utterly defenseless against anyone else who wishes to get involved. And the take down, and getting back up, then reassessing your environment. Last point is more conceptual. There's no advantage to being on the ground. You're both there. Every move is progressive and gives no advantage till it's sealed. Till then, there are ways for him to escape or counter.

[JTBCP]

@universalpopper

True, grappling can be dangerous in a street fight, but only if the grappler is actually good. A lot people are under the impression that if they take BJJ/wrestling for a few months, they'll dominate in a real fight. I've heard from countless grapplers that it takes a year or two before you'll actually be good enough to use any grappling techniques in a street fight.

I train in Gracie Jiujitsu. I'm not a bias striker in case you were wondering.

[SubliminalSin]

@JTBCP Completely agree mate. But I always request that nobody try to use throws / submissions / takedowns etc. in a real life situation "ever" no matter how much experience they have. Especially in a crowded area (where most problems occur, pubs, parties etc.). More than likely if you actually manage to take someone down their friend/s watching from the sides will be more than happy to smack you over the head with a brick or anything they can grab. Grappling etc. Is fun, but way too risky

[kaar20]

@universalpopper thats true even the basics can do alot of harm

[Khaos969]

@universalpopper I learned BJJ just for the simple fact that alot of people I know do mma and some are nasty pieces of work, the thought of fighting one of those guys who knows BJJ outside a bar..is not a nice thought , I used to be a boxer and for years that kept people at bay but now you got people that will just take you down and pound you... you have to adapt to your hostile enviroments these days..

im a blue belt now in bjj and a good boxer...im resonably safe lol

[Dookiebutt47]

@universalpopper there all equal, any techinque is deadly

[SuperSuperblake]

@universalpopper Tru but a boxer could knock you out and just keep hitting you until your Brain damage with no ref

[garra98]

@universalpopper yeah but good strikers can hurt you too. boxers have die because they got hit so hard

[nowayasway1988]

@garra98 not so much that they got hit so hard but so often...look at the punch stats of a 12 round title fight...

[garra98]

@nowayasway1988 yeah. i agree but theres been accounts of people dieing cause of one punch hits in and out of the ring

[ght52]

@universalpopper Don't discount striking so easily, one good punch in the throat is enough to crush anybodys windpipe which will quickly lead to death unless the paramedics can reinflate your trachea. Grappling is dangerous to though.

[screamingtrashcans]

@ght52 Definetly agree with you.

[screamingtrashcans]

@universalpopper Grappling is very dangerous and if somebody's taken down with no ground game they're screwed! But, without any striking skills facing against someone who does have striking skills, somebody might find it difficult to take someone down without getting knocked out! Point is, if you are incredible at grappling, but have no striking whatsoever, while someone else has a basic ground game along with incredible striking, they'd have the advantage.

[Kronos360360]

@universalpopper dude that and wtf happens if the dude wants you dead and he gets a choke or a crank lol snap

[Kronos360360]

@universalpopper dude that and wtf happens if the dude wants you dead and he gets a choke or a crank lol snap

but you gota be a full fighter

[Svittidiu]

@universalpopper You're absolutely correct. Then again a good punch or kick will knock you out and a knockout creates brain damage. Also, if you get KO'd in the streets and hit your head on concrete, you can die quite easily. So, I wouldn't want to get in a street fight with a champion of any kind of combat sport.

[anthcybo]

@universalpopper

You can also die if you get hit behind the ear or in the temple if you're not wearing gloves also.

[pyro69man]

i wouldn't suggest doing that. u could go to jail for doing shit like that.

[directorbeau]

is Kimbo Slice in jail? How many backyard fights has he gotten in to?

[pyro69man]

i wouldn't know

[raddaradda101]

@directorbeau

no, because there is an agreement between both people it isn't really frowned upon, he's been in lots of fights but everyone was willing

[MMAwomensfan]

and next u put the leg in a leg bar look it up good move.

[hitzmanyh]

there was no point in showing this video because people will try this at home and if just one bit of it goes wrong BAM their fucked forever

[Sum0sam0]

Cause so much can go wrong......

Just kidding, it cant, unless your a retard and taking it too far.

[ironknightzero]

Lame

[treeeed15]

Seriously guys, nice video. I've been doing this move for a long time wrong. Thanx for clearing it up.

[KewlGuy98]

I'm gonna try this one on saturday

[WWEbelts16]

no there NOT allowed in ufc or mma cause the now how to kill someone in like 3 seconds they no all your pressure points and thats another thing the wouldnt make money if they let them in cause the fight would be over in 5 seconds

[suarneduj]

One of SAMBO take downs, isn't it?

[brooklynboy4life]

u cant do that in a street fight

[MrIlovebaseball99]

hell i did it. Me and this guy who was a fellow marine had a fight on the street. It was for fun, but damn, i caught him off guard

Took MMA for 7 years and BJJ before being recruited for the Marines

[jackassroger]

he is too big for this move, but it really does work. people hardly ever expect you to do this, Anderson Silva got caught by ryo chonan in pride with this exact same move, scissor take down bam into heel hook

[WWEbelts16]

ppl in mma are little girls put them up against habkidos the would get MURDERED

[Infeld7]

Well, considering it's MIXED martial arts, you could learn Hapkido and use it in MMA...

MMA is MIXED martial arts - It's every martial art made into one martial art

[BGmaRKO19]

put habkidos against krav maga and ther would get murdered woman

[switchhand]

Y? krav and habkido are martial arts that are mixed too. i cant see y an MMA fighter cannot beat a habkido or a krav maga fighter

[superbowlmvp13]

you know coming from a guy who watches WWE, can't even spell Hapkido and is twelve years old, i think it's safe to say that you sir, have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

oh and i'd like to see you go up to any mma fighter and call him/her a"little girl", better yet, film it so everyone can revel in your idiocy.

[Fellowneighbor]

in real time combat this is to flashy i like things to be done quick with a easy take down

[gammela1]

i dont like jiu-jitsu to practice myself, i am more like wushu/ muay thai more action, but that doesnt takes away that i think jiu-jitsu is bad , they have alott god techniques

[SaintMathias]

ur gay

[GEAR414]

gotta watch out for those god techniques. they can decide the fate of the universe!!

[TheLeo3255]

if this guy gives you and arm bar you will see what action is.........

[MrAlexmunoz]

it does wor cuz i used it on some guy at a party and i just started puondin on him really bad..

[egg3443]

there mixed marical arts (pro) fighters i think they know what there doing.

[TheDarkstar08]

booooo Blowjobjitsu sucks.

[UnFoRGiiV3N]

u obviously know nothing at all about jiu jitsu. If you're looking at it from a cocky high school/street fighting perspective, than it may seem innefective against dumbass teenagers with flying random fiists. jiu jitsu is a sport...

[venom1218]

true say

but i would still take bjj to the streets my friend, show those damn pykies whos boss and make sure the face is flat when u leave lol

[UnFoRGiiV3N]

yes, bjj experience will definately be to ur advantage!! lol i agree

[youngdrumma]

@UnFoRGiiV3N ju jitsu is an art

[chublocka1]

@UnFoRGiiV3N :) true ^^ ha

[TylerH2055]

@UnFoRGiiV3N I train martial arts in high school . both jiu jitsu and kenpo karate, a guy in my grade got cocky and try to land a huge right haymaker, i jumped in... used 2 ridge hands on pressure points in his arm (kenpo) and switched to a kimura (bjj) and slammed his ass, then transiton to a armbar and had him whining like a girl... so wild tenages are the easiest to use thi on

[normalnamesplz]

@TylerH2055 ow please dreaming is supposed to be done in bed

[BrooklynSupraVin]

@UnFoRGiiV3N damnn i love da guyy who posted dis..

[nigelm1990]

its people like you that end up in the hospital due to people like us saying..."MAN i picked a fight with this guy and now hes in my bed with my girl and im in the hospital with a black eye and a lack of talent"

[winsku]

blax, he means that it wont work always and u might end up at bottom :P

[nigelm1990]

lol gogoplata

[blax18js]

wut does he mean by its risky?

[victhebjjpredator]

this takedown is money. dont let anyone tell you otherwise. it's always there and you cant stop it

[UltimateGranis]

This works well in BJJ tournys especially those who have a WICKED Kneebar. And there's nothing sissy about his move.

[stayhidden]

There are a number of leg controls you can get from that throw.

I use this all the time with a lot of success.

[Deathexpress11]

yea he is right a simple heel hook from this position after the fall will put your attacker/opponent in some serious pain

[BakaYaru13]

This is a scissor takedown I'd do playing around with my buddies in the yard. Not something I'd do in self defence, or a fight. I wouldn't even do this during a serious training session at the gym. Its kinda... Sissy-fied.

[stayhidden]

Really? I land this all the time. It's a bit more technical than it might first appear, but it's one of my best takedowns.

Try playing around with it some more, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

[slyguyman1989]

right on! that's a pretty cool move. i'm gonna use next time my buddy steve-o wants to do his submission wrestling.

[cerebralassassin78]

Look up Rilley Bodycomb for a real scissors take down. This was not very good.

[coolskate55]

what do they mean by riskey risky that you wood loose or riskey that you wood get like a violataion

[VxR16]

hes saying its risky in wrestling as you could get a violation ye

[ALEXMONTCLAIR]

idk about wrestling but risky as in its easy to counter, may not work in mma

[azaproc]

CUNG LE SCISSOR KICK BETTER!

[fxspike]

shouldn't he cross his legs

[ButtazNOW]

no, that is not a good scissor take down, if you look at other videos, youll see how bad this looks compared to them

[JiujitsuSama]

depending on what you want to do next both type of scissor takedown (this one and the one with one leg on the stomach and the other behind )are good, but its sure that the other is more preferable XD

[cmmncn]

that would take to long once u have the frist leg behind he use an olpen palm blow to his sholder to nok off the blance then push your leg foward to make a stong fall

[sachamord]

oh god , again the fucking stupyd shit of the captain chris stuff of self defense

[asc2323]

cung lee pulls dis off all the time

[Chulo4LIFE]

tell that to anderson silva....set up his loss to ryo chonan in pride :)

[mgbrawl]

Nice, wish more people would try more flashy takedowns like this in mma. like the jumping version even better.

[Jiggafly117]

yea, but they would rather win than look good loosing lmao

[mgbrawl]

look good loosing? the only realstic way i could see people losing from this is if they end up in a bad position off the scramble. which should'nt really happen as most fighters go for takedowns because they are better than their opponant on the floor. wud'nt u agree??

[ziyaze]

did you know that Anderson Silva got tapped out by this move versus Ryo Chonan in PRIDE...

[mgbrawl]

lol yeh, that was a great submission!

[Jiggafly117]

true, but from my experance of the scissor takedown is basiclly for me... u have to grab their shoulder and u have to be fast throwing both legs out. its not my best move nd doing it is hard as hell in a match... training its easyerr haha

[lfcapplelfc]

yeh ur right it is hard, most flashy moves r tho. risks r sometimes worth it tho! lol
