1:27 is asking to get choked out!!!!!

[crzybo86]

This is usually a bad idea in MMA. If your going against anyone decent, all they are going to do is sink their hips and then they have your back for a rear naked. Try 5 of them with a partner as good as you, he'll get your back more than you'll get the TD

@hamgunns22 You're 46 years old and you can't spell 'making' right? HAHAHAHA!

If someone reacts quick enough, can't they get their hooks in and take your back? So many of those throws are risky... only a select few pull them off against elite competition. Even Dong Hyun Kim and Caro Parisyan didn't get them off on the regular. Caro honestly got more blocked than I've seen him get the throws effectively.

I've seen in Judo, guys throw people with 100lbs on them. I am 250lbs and I've had 155lb fighters throw me in training. It's all technique. If you can get your opponents weight up, like in a hip throw, size and strength are only bonuses, not neccissary. Look up some good Judo techniques and you will see what I mean

@craig041204 strength just makes everything more fun

[craig041204]

Hmm could this break my opponents arm?. Also if your not strong enough to lift your opponents weight will this not work?.

a better take down and simple as is the Head and Arm drag! With this you are risking getting chocked out, because a real wrestler would lower his level and make it harder to flip him
