Jon Fitch learns some technique from Chris Fleeger

I (Jon Fitch) took some footage of All-American Purdue University wrestler, Chris Fleager, before I moved to California in 2003. He showed me some of his favorite techniques. I slowed them down so you can see the detail in his movements.

That over under foot sweep looks like its what damian maia used on chael sonnan. I've been looking for that for so long. Thank you!

Sweet ducks, I'll have to try them out!

[Dmmartin141]

Chris, you should have showed him your choke where you extend the elbow and turn your arm around the neck to get the palm on the shoulder and your Outside trip. BTW, where did you learn 2 of the 3 of those sweet ducks? Haha. -Mike M.

@TheEdLova Most MMA programs teach wrestling in the curriculum. In my opinion it's way easier to learn how to get up that to out wrestle good wrestlers. I don't compete but I train frequently for fun and I find that dudes who took 3-4 years of wrestling in high school take most people down. At a pro level the wrestlers are so good that you have to be a good wrestler. But you can develop all over time. Look at GSP
