Takedowns for Submission Wrestling & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & MMA. Taught by Jeff Presley at Memphis Judo & Jiu-Jitsu www.memphisBjj.com

NOTE: We didn't show the part at the end about being a good idea in MMA to keep the other hand on his hip to not get as many knees.

in mma, the last part of the vid wouldnt you have to watch for the knee if you were in the that muithai clinch?

[delugestudios]

:) of course ... see the note on the video description

[rebe12354]

@delugestudios ahhh I see :) yeah that would suck to get hit with a knee in that clinch.

[delugestudios]

yep, difficult to cover every single technical point when teaching techniques, more than 5 points and you loose people. This video was demonstrating basics of stance and simple defense.

[delugestudios]

Like every position, there are pro's and con's. The challenge for wrestlers is to not eat knees due to habit of leaving hips out for throws, whereas a good wrestler can get body locks & lifts easier when opponent's hips are forward. Pretty complex subject to cover comprehensively with all details here.

@desertamazon judo sambo greco roman and believe or not sumo are the arts that specializing the clinch game. fedor and machida have down to a science are hardly dominated in the clinch. other notables in the clinch game would have to be randy couture and karo.

@desertamazon for self defense bjj has enough takedowns since nobody except a wrestler will counter them.The biger problem for bjj is that hardly any schools do takedowns and defenses against a striking opponent.For mma bjj is piss poor on takedowns.

I'm a seasoned Shotokan practitioner and abit new to grappling, i'm trying to pick up afew basic moves and self teach with a partner(with alot of caution ofcourse), i find your explanation style easy and the over demonstration looks abit realistic compared to most step-by-step videos. I realized that Wrestling pays alot more detail to takedowns where as BJJ is more about the ground not too much emphasis on HOW TO GET THERE.
