Killer Takedowns-Erik Paulson

[gekiryudojo]

Killer Takedowns? but not on the street

[zack5tab]

@gekiryudojo try having ur head and body smashed into concrete or ashpault with this force and tell me they aren't useful. A good slam or takedown can knock someone out in a street fight.

[gekiryudojo]

@zack5tab like to see him try lol!

[racingmylife15]

@gekiryudojo MMA is not a street fight

[mower1272]

the step over arm bar counter to the drop seoi-nage shoulder throw is sweet could see that working when a throw is labour,d or the competitors are well into the fight. Paulson,s creative and gives you start to finish technique.high percentage moves vs belief what it all boils down to.

[shay33ish]

NO ONE DOES IT LIKE ERIK!

[racingmylife15]

Very nice technique

[papeluso]

The Fireman's Carry seems dangerous for MMA.

Does anyone disagree with that?

[zeerebel]

awesome !! Erik Paulson is crazy creative

[albondigas123]

can they slow down a little bit...

[tszymborski]

Sambo :)

[Scrazy0wnz]

This my Trainers Ground Guy! haha havent actully seen him in action! can tell the techs. though easy!

[Causcout]

[azraelangelofred]

What was the name of the song used for this video?

[KJGould]

@azraelangelofred I think it was maybe a Rob Zombie or White Zombie song. I can't remember.

[azraelangelofred]

Sounded like POD song to me.

[KJGould]

@azraelangelofred Ahh that one, it could be Southtown by POD then :)

[twotetah]

awesome leglocks

[jtlava1995]

beutiful firemans carry at 0:38

[minsang75]

I don't know why he couln't take james warring down.

[cuzz63]

Maybe holding the hair?

[yourmommasbigdildo]

lame

[IWillKillYourKids]

SAMBO FTW!!!!!!

[azraelangelofred]

What was the name of the song on this video?

[tangoforthemango]

these videos look really old, but the technique is really good

[pyrojds]

LOL

[bananabread119]

0:50 yeah I just learned a new takedown....

[SheepStone]

lol, a lot of the demonstration here ended with false taps on improper arm/knee bars. While it's great for demonstration purposes, there's a lot of "i'll give you a second to get positioned and lock me"

[kismet108]

great. 5 stars yo

[kenseisato1989]

didn't it come from Pankration-Catch as Catch Can/jiu jistu-judo-bjj??

[pyro458]

0:55 :D

[lota14]

sick transitions

[rodrigoextremo]

catch wrestling

[donnerdaumen84]

jeah...fantastic

[bolizzil]

Paulson is a BEAST!!! I went to a couple of seminars learned a lot

[kenseisato1989]

holy crap i love this

correct me if i'm wrong but a lot of his grappling comes from shooto, and i think he calls his fighting method/style/martial arts,

Combat Submission Wrestling.

[lillefille360]

totally correct :D

[economicatheist]

The way they were dressed it looked like sambo (which, like BJJ, evolved out of judo).

IMO all this BJJ vs judo spam is worthless. When it gets right down to it, it's all about grappling. The big differences are the rule sets for competition.

I train judo and BJJ, but I love learning stuff from wrestlers and sambo guys too.

[CRUSADER1232123]

actually bjj came frm japanese jiu jitsu

isnt it obvious jiu jitsu isnt a brazilian word

[AnimusAeternus]

Nope it came from judo, which came from jiu jitsu. Just look up Kosen Judo and see if it looks familiar.

[vincespell]

what people fail to realize is that the armbar and several other techniques don't belong to judo, they belong to jiu-jitsu and Kano carried many of the Jiu-Jitsu techniques over to Judo. This and this alone is why Judo looks very similiar to BJJ because of the usage of the same techniques which are Jiu-Jitsu in origin. Let's not forget that Kano borrowed techniques from Jiu-Jitsu and that Kano was a Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt as as a JJ black belt he created JUDO this is why things look the same!!!!!!

[Eyomir]

he is completly right if you look up on judo you will find that out

[netixriqua]

judo and BJJ are brothers. their father is the samurai's jiu-jitsu. one grew up in brazil and one grew up in japan. that's all

[deadpool32123]

waht u said is true i dont no why every1 is giveing u a thumbs down

[kaelAJgurl]

i agree with deadpool and netixriqua dont tumbs down something unless you know what youre talking about...

[WarriorBlackBanner]

yeah, that's true, but is is also a scientific wrestler. so why do you give all the credit to japanese. his style is bjj, scientific wrestling, jkd and how knows what else.

[brucew22]

bjj, shooto, catchwrestling, sambo, wrestling, judo. And of course muay thai, jkd, savate, etc.

[economicatheist]

There are no heel hooks in judo.

[pancraselondon]

Erik is such a great instructor, i ll advise people that leave around cali to train with him.

[Marcoraul]

Go Jess!!!!

[oran215]

thats brazilian jj

[yardape99]

You're an idiot.

[szablshit]

damn paulsons a badass

[datexan21]

this ful adapts fasst to da situation he is in, he jus knows the fight scene like in jeet kune do when bruce lee speaks of the kup of water, and being like the water in the kup, kuz the kup only holds the water but the water bekomes the kup

[sixpounder0666]

Is that Jui Jitsu`? or Judo?

[yardape99]

Judo.

[rusty73581]

those are bjj takedowns bro. there are crossovers that both do im sure but I've never trained judo and i know most of those takedowns notice how they all transition into locks afterwards? just because someone tosses a hip throw or a soto gari doesn't mean they're doing judo. you know judo came from jujitsu, right?

[yardape99]

Judo's strength are their takedowns. Just because Judo came from Jujitsu, doesn't mean that Jujitsu do throws better. If it were that simple, jits-only guys would be entering the Olympics racking up gold medals.

Our throws transition into arm bars and hold downs as well.

[rusty73581]

do they have heel hooks in judo? serious question the only judo i know are the takedwns

[pugilistica]

If you check out The Complete Kano Jiu-Jitsu (Jiudo) by H. Irving Hancock and Katsukuka Higashi you'll find (for example) on page 221 No' 214 Trick 30 Phase 2 shows a twisted foot lock. Needless to say, modern Judo has removed these types of holds from the sport.

[pugilistica]

A quick skip through the same book shows another two twisted foot/ankle locks on pages 238 and 239.

[rusty73581]

i think he does jkd tho doesnt he? either way...judo came from jujitsu so its a bit of a moot point.

[msmelendez]

what the hell...i could hardly see wat he was doin

[ShinsengumiTaicho1]

Paulson has always been ahead of his time. He's one of the few fighters that truly understands what it means to "mix" martial arts. No one single style can be credited here, but Paulson's strategic employment of his mental encyclopedia of fight techniques and concepts from a variety of fighting systems is truly worthy of praise. This is what mma was meant to be all along.

[mistrbluevein]

lol, could'nt have said it better myself. It's only a matter of time before you start seeing more of a catch wrestling influence in MMA, there's some already (sakuraba, josh barnett...etc) but it's not credited enough or recognized for what it truly is. Not to take anything away from BJJ, But, theres more to ground work then just the top half, people don't see that and that's why sambo and catch wrestlers have a huge advantage on the ground. Just look at fedor.

[schaelakhan]

If you see visit Grappling master Erik Paulsons website. He credits many coaches for his prowess.  His combat submission style is a study in multiple wrestling/submission systems to include Sambo.

[derekbalsley]

Search YouTube for "Takedown Machine"

[tpbisdivine]

Looks like some cool SAMBO moves

[SLITTHROAT13]

It is sambo

[mma850]

your both wrong eric dose JKD Bruce Lee's concept

SLITTHROAT13,tpbisdivine

[SLITTHROAT13]

yeah but i see some sambo uniforms so by logic there must be some sambo moves incorporated

[Hellride7]

jkd isnt one style is pretty much all styles, or the best bits from a lot of styles. so in a way, all 3 of your are right

[floysie21]

i enjoyied 56:

[rednatsyb]

holy CRAP!!!!!!!!

[Brisbi789]

whats this song called?

[suchAnoob]

southtown by p.o.d

[Brisbi789]

whats this song called?

[l1e2m3o4n]

some of them are not really effective but some are....he also has a leglock I have never seen before...I dont thinnk it's as good as good ol' kneebar!

[MTsomboBJJ]

That's the type of field day I have against a BJJ white belt. Against more experieced grappler - oops not so much - back to the more simple takedowns from wrestling and judo.

[ravi18364]

just search judo takedowns it everything u need

[wally2296]

What's the technique called in 00:08-00:10

[Extremesyko420]

Thats an arm drag its a move used in both catch wrestling and judo. In judo its a variation of the sumi gaeshi.

[IamCastIronMan]

If you keep comin with the same stuff....your opponent will adjust..overcome and succeed...

Cast

[sokrei]

there's nothing wrong with standard takedowns. i've wrestled all my life, and from my expierience with takedowns, the simpler the move, the more likely it will work.

[OleVictor]

your so right!

[Houseoferebus]

that is Exactly what one wrestling olympian said to us at training (he did a guest session at our No-gi BJJ session)

Simpler ones tentd to have higher % of success.

[bizzle187]

@Houseoferebus exactly the reason why athleticism lends itself to wrestling more than anything else in mma.

[laokon]

@sokrei 100% agreed. Usually i stick to pragmatic, somple techs. Sometimes i switch to more "elaborated" ones to show my guys there are other possibilities and teach them to stay aware of things that you don't calculate.

[constantine353535]

nice..

[ThaSuper1]

wow

[mrjbnavy007]

Its called takedowns not takedown defence proberbly for a reason .

[austinsherlock123]

all those guys that are doing mma stuff are showing takedowns but they arent showing what the person being takendown can do

[xemcx]

standart takedowns ..

[fatherof283]

unbelievable

[tahyo311]

thanks man

[revpauljames]

Southtown by POD

[tahyo311]

hey what song is that guys?

[fatherof283]

southtown by p.o.d

[argerber]

Erik is the man. If you ever have the chance, TAKE ONE OF HIS SEMINARS. Extremely informative and a nice change from traditional bjj.

[georgeee1]

Erik Paulson isnt a BJJ guy hes Combat Sambo

[kempobrad]

actually he studies, judo, jiujitsu, sambo, shootwrestling, muay thai, jeet kune do, kali, and others. he calls his art combat submission wrestling.

[justinGP12345]

he is a black belt in Bjj

[xlt112]

what song is this

[Houseoferebus]

I have no clue. Sorry mate.

[Tris67]

Paulson has some wicked techniques

[HerreraCam]

A lot of basic wrestling techniques in there. Wrestling has strong takedowns and takedown defense. Simonking195, Neo is a fictional character from a movie. No comparison here.

[georgeee1]

yeah you right Herrera looks like basic Wrestling and Judo takedowns to me .

[ThaSuper1]

Nice!!. google ThaSuper1.

[PsycloneJeremy]

wow... he looks pretty smooth with all of his technique.

[Killakerve]

Damn i want to train with Erik Paulson

[combatives]

This is good stuff, that comes from my observation of 31 years of experience in martial arts.

[mailme08401]

woah........

[simonking195]

lol you post like hes neo or something.. all hes doing is picking them up and throwing them.

[c3n1x]

Actually simon, just to fill your ignorant ass in he is using timing, momentum, upper body, and hips to pull these off. My personal fav is his counter slam to a hip toss. One thing this doesn't display though, is a few strikes first to avoid getting KO'd by a knee when you go in for the takedown.

[boomer830]

dammmm what martial arts did he learn that from

[IDHEM]

Sambo

[chuggernaut]

And Catch wrestling.

[animaximas]

its a beauty

[lidador]

Excelent work.

[mathislandwehr]

damn good video!!!
