  • In rugby we were told to go as low as possible but thaqt left you at risk of getting a knee to the chin if you didd't hold the legs together tight as pos. I'm guessing this is a risky move in mma.

  • i would like to see him try this in real time n ram into a cross

  • This is a great "how to shoot" video for wrestlers. Shooting in with your head on the outside hip keeps you from getting crossfaced, but it also presents the guy you are shooting on with an excellent opportunity for a guillotine. Great video and great technique, but I'd say the warning needs to be there.

  • @Blahb27 Acrually im a state ranked wrestler from ohio. And when you pull in the legs and buckle the knees you can push them over, but with there knees wont buckle cut sideways using your head to push his into the side of his ribs and sweep his legs out. Way easier and more effective so dont second guess me.

  • @WeThe1337 So basically what you say is lift a guy's full body weight up vertically, while you yourself are nearly horizontal and moving forward fast, so you can't possibly lift anything, let alone a resisting person.

    Maybe you should get a few lessons in kickboxing and wrestling before second-guessing an instructor....

  • well i think i would like to see this in real time, because a lot of these things look cool and good untill they arent sparring at half a normal rate. i believe that they should show examples in an ACTUAL situation, so we can see if you are good.

  • Very bad takedown technique. You should get lower, and more level to the ground and go in straight. Grab the legs. Pull in and lift. then either drive forward or cut sideways. Then finish.

    P.S. im 13 and im going to make videos on takedowns and other MMA moves

  • @fredbloggs02 yeah bro fighting and rugby are different things

  • @fredbloggs02 ....well notice how his face is out of the way nd his arms are sort of in a defensive position....i can see wut ur saying tho

  • this guy is a good teacher i watched all his muay thai videos and realy liked them

  • @fredbloggs02 You can cross your arms in front of your face until you touch a leg and than rep your arms around the leg. That way a knee isn´t as dangerous. There are some vicious knock outs when fightes didn´t protect their face while shooting.

  • thats why you have to train using your knees, perfect counter to this technique.
