Grappling Drills

[charliewarriorgym]

I like all these thanks! I've done the armbar drill, but I don't see this guy "biting down" underneath the guys arm as tight as I've been shown. Which way is "better" in this drill? in your opinion?

[TeamWarriorMMA]

Very effective!!!

[jovaizsnova]

Nice workout but litle bit slow for my taste

[Groundhawggjimenez]

these are great drills,,tony taught them correctly,,,they student just needs more practice,,,if you've ever done an armlock,,,nobody does it perfect the first time,,,, 4 that matter the first 50 times,,thats why they are practicing,,in time they will do a perfect armbar,,,first you walk then you run! ---BJJ brown belt---

[Groundhawggjimenez]

i knew it wuz,,i know that voice anywhere,,,he's is my teammate in florida a ATT WOLFPACK,,Tony is a very good grappler/PRO MMA fighter

[Groundhawggjimenez]

who voice is that TONY LEONE?

[sifujerrym]

@Groundhawggjimenez Yes it is.

[billysue2]

those drills are being done poorly so are doing more harm than good.The coach should be correcting these mistakes and they should start slowly watching every step,its not a conditioning drill when you cant do the tech properly yet.

[TheEel]

The topmoves were quite ok, but the armbar- and kimura-drills looked pretty bad accualy. Stiff beginner hips.

And yes, my post is prolly a tad negative, but hey, everybody is a critic right..

[hydr5]

did you guys start making out after this?

[killking123]

Great drills and yes kumora is a key lock.

[psj1945]

The last drill is not a key lock as we hear in the backround, its a kimura. thanks for the vid but the drill needs refinment.

[roycegracie11]

great concepts. if i could suggest something...

the 2 drills that involve side control... you should make it more relevant by landing closer to his chest, if not directly on top of his chest. that allows better control. just a suggestion.. would be a better habit to get into for when you rollin and you land you pass to side control

[jonnytang]

I love how all of these idiots watch a few UFC fights, get caught up in the all the hype, and then feel like they can critique your grappling drills. I enjoyed the video for what it was "A DRILL". Thank you. All the meat heads that study BJJ for a year and then want to call themselves practitioners can go "F" themselves.

[catoon95]

Good Video Pro Standard.

[bigguvnor]

you NEED to tighten up the knees around the back/neck keep it tight FORGET speed that will come with drilling the move hundreds of times

[tcgodzarmy]

....and i woild say try his dril and u will see only the first 10 armbary will be precise and tight after them u will loose power and open up i think thats what happened in he video. but nothing unusual thats what drills are for.different 2 techniqe excercises.

[tcgodzarmy]

i think its good drills. ok u could tighten up a lil even if itz a drill but the idea is very nice ill work that in class next week. thx for posting

[BennehBoy]

Good drills! About the sloppy armbars... I would say sloppy, it just seems like the dude only does armbars on his opponents right arm in sparring, because the armbars to the left arm weren't that good, he didn't turn his body enough. It's an old video though, so I bet his armbars have improved a lot since this video was made :)

[therealgeeza]

very nice hip movement/elevation on the kimura drill. thx for posting.

[RonnySayfan]

it's not sloppy armbar - it's a drill, not technical work. Supposed to teach and internalize hip motion and relaxation, nothing else.

Good drills.

[ckd04]

I disagree. when doing drills you need to practice them right. other wise you muscle memory will go bad and you will do it wrong in copetition. he needs to tighten them up. he may get away with it in a gi match but not in a no gi. I am not dissin ya just want to help

[RonnySayfan]

These drills are meant to make the motion automatic - so the body will go there instinctively, while the mind is free to focus on the problems the adversary poses.

and in order to learn how to stay "heavy" it's better to be relaxed in the begining.

these are DRILLS not ROLLING.

[ckd04]

I am not trying to start an arguement but you did contadict your self. you said make the motion autocamtic-so the body will go there instinctively. yes he is training his body to go to the wrong way. he is not staying tight and he will do that in copetition as well if he doesn't practice it right. just like a puch is supposed to come right back. if you do not practice it correct 100% of the time you will mess up when tired. then get cracked or guard passed in this instance. tryin to help

[RonnySayfan]

whatever... only you know if you even practice BJJ.

[laconas]

RonnySayfan, just ask any professional coach of any sport. Be they coaches of BJJ, SamBO, judo, wrestling, boxing, muay thai, football, hockey, or even chess, they will ALL tell you that your must drill PRECISELY or not at all. Doing sloppy drills programs your mind and body to do it sloppy in competition. You are better off doing no drills than learning bad habits. Bad habits are hard to break; good habits are easier to learn when bad habits don't get in the way. Just ask a coach.

[RonnySayfan]

Where I live people don't wrestle - so in my bjj class we work basic ground movement all the time - we have very BASIC drills like the ones shown in this video - the purpose of the "sloppy" arm bar drill is to concentrate on momentum, swinging the leg and raising the hip - NOT teach or drill an arm-bar.

[bjjcity]

The guy critiquing the armbar drill is right. That is a VERY sloppy armbar. First thing I thought when I saw it was that you are going to have to unlearn a lot of things if you drill that way. Defend it all you want, but that is a useless drill and is NOT teaching your body the proper mechanics needed for hip movement, momentum, grip, posture breaking... anything. Just a bad drill, imo.

[JiujitsuUniverse]

@ckd04 Absolutely, practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

[KingColt1985]

Those are some really nice drills! Thank you!
