Man, this is so easy to do and it really works the first time I tried it against a resisting opponent. But now my 75 year old mother won't talk to me anymore. But hey, it works!👍
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
Krytycznie Poważny that’s why I made this instructional for you. So you learn great takedowns with the bjj mindset...it’s different when you learn wrestling, coaches most of the time teaches it with the wrestling mindset! #GameChange
Holy shit, did Andre Galvao just take the time to answer us small timers here? Now that’s class. Thank you for taking the time to pass this onto us, sir! Awesome!
I've come from Judo, so I have always tried to do my single/double legs takedowns without getting on my knees, it just makes sense to me, seing a world class competitor like Galvao thinking the same it's great. Gold content.
knee/shins touching the ground should only be used as a secondary/backup technique when you cannot go any higher, since you are almost always better off on your feet.
Absolutely brilliant in its simplicity. His mastery of this technique is demonstrated in the transitory details: settling his weight to the rear foot; “punching” the hand out and connecting with a frame to the shoulder; using that forward momentum with the stiff arm to seep the leg and pressure with the chest and bicep; always careful for his head placement throughout the takedown. Mastery is in the details.
Simple yet so technically sound. Ive always felt awkward going for the single leg, but I can already see myself applying this in a practical al manner. Thank you for this, Professor. Osu!
Very nice. I learned a variation of this at my school. The biggest difference is that we put our head against the opponent's upper chest (against the heart) as we grab the leg. We do this to prevent an attempt to punch or elbow us. We also do a similar takedown to what you showed, but in our version we push with our head against the chest while pulling the leg to score the takedown. This leaves our head out of reach of the opponent the entire time. I'd be curious to try both versions back to back and see which one works better for most scenarios.
I've noticed Galvao and his students do their takedowns without their knees touching the ground, never really thought about it, it makes sense. Cool details
Many many issues solved in one single video!!! Amazing details from one of the best of his generation. The sharing of techniques and knowledge you're always doing in this channel are leading BJJ to the next level, Bernardo. Always watching, always learning. OSSSSS
Awesome single leg instructional.. is this a teaser for a full length take down instructional from Prof Galvao on BJJ Fanatics? I sure hope so, because I'm sold.
Great video gentlemen. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. Bernardo, you mentioned the pressure Andre applies to the thigh (you said leg) right before finishing the takedown. I am a medical student and I once gave a presentation to my class and anatomy professors about a condition called foot drop, which occurs when there is nerve aggravation right below the knee on the outside of the leg resulting in an inability to dorsiflex or elevate your toes. I even had a nice video of a friend of mine in an MMA where he gets kicked on the outside of the shin right beneath the knee and loses the ability to use his foot for the remainder of the fight (no worries, it was a quick finish and he won with a guillotine in the first round anyway). I called the shin the lower leg and my professors corrected me in front of the entire class and told me that technically the leg is below the knee and the thigh above the knee. Therefore, when I said lower leg they thought I was talking about the area near the ankle. You called the thigh the leg, which to normal people is perfect (anatomists are not normal - they are special. Hehe). I will remember what Andre taught because I will think of putting pressure on the thigh, not the shin. Thanks again for all your great videos. I definitely encourage my team (Sphygmus BJJ) to review your videos because they are concise, clear, and thorough. Thanks so much!
Awesome! I train at one of Professors Galvao affiliates here in Dallas 360 bjj, the professor is a world-class champion and instruction is the best overall.
Jay Hooks thanks Jay! I appreciate that. On my no gi takedowns instructional you will learn so many details, concepts and my single leg system. Where you can take your opponent down easy and doing it effortlessly!
Realllly good details - some game changers for me, actually! I've been trying to "wrestle" more by emulating top wrestlers and I found the leg switch he calls out, where you lift their leg high on the outside of the body, to getting me in more trouble than my "older" way where I'd pinch the leg and run the pipe.
Going back to the shoulder push part for a moment. There is a drill in Systema for teaching how to shrug off grabs and pushes to the shoulders and upper arms. It's part mental training for contact, but it helps to avoid such takedowns by preventing the expected reaction, and even giving you a moment of commitment in which to respond.
Andre saying he likes simple stuff while Bernardo is like "well Im something of a SIMPLE STUFF fan myself..." :D Just love the pressure passing they can pull off
I find this "no gi" Jiu Jitsu stuff fascinating. I have been a Kung Fu/Pencak-Silat guy all my life but confess to having no decent ground game. This stuff looks very interesting indeed!
Ruiseart Alcorn I started out as pure striker also. my first time stepping on a mat with grapplers and getting handeled you quickly realize you need to know both worlds to fully defend yourself. It was a fun and humbling experience.
Top content. I'll make this my preferred takedown in rolls to come, because it looks simple. Better to have one takedown perfected, than to be crap at all the takedowns.
The comment about how his biceps is crushing your thigh is CRUCIAL in understanding the entire thing. Just watching the video, without this comment, we would not understand that we need to put pressure of a bicep on the thigh to disable the leg. Super-important comment about bicep on the thigh.
Como brasileiro, acho que temos que honrar nossa lingua natal. Acho melhor fazer os videos em portugues e colocar legenda pros americanos. Mas ai vai de cada um. Fora isso, aula muito boa!
This is a great breakdown. Will try this in sparring this week. When you put your head on the shoulder, is that necessary, or can you just keep posture and turn your body (your shoulder on the upper leg)?
Man, this is so easy to do and it really works the first time I tried it against a resisting opponent. But now my 75 year old mother won't talk to me anymore. But hey, it works!👍

I think he said he's a purple in English but he's def a brown
@@juntjoonunya9216 Trying to get that black belt as well haha!
@@Galvaocastthat was a good use of the air quotes too. LOL
for me, as a former wrestler, this is the perfect video that explained some of my mistakes. Thank you! Greetings from Prague, Czech Republic
I love you country, Michal. People from Czech Republic are very polite
Prague is an awesome city.
This is pure gold, many wrestling coaches are not aware of counters such as kimura trap, guillotines etc. just like Prof. Andre said.

Both are funnily enough apart of wrestling still but considered last resort techniques
So you must have never seen Dave and Mark Schutlz wrestle. This is basic 101 wrestling .

Bernardo "Huge Honor for Me" Faria! Lol

Loooool😇😂😂
:D :D hahahaha
might be the first time it was ever used like that, but it works somehow lol
1:12 shoulder push single leg
6:50 honey hole
8:15 side smash, knee slice, toreando, half guard
9:40 kimura trap
U legend
lol, I thought it was "honey hold"
@@gcorc that’s hilarious
Similar to the Ankle Pick the first goal is to push his weight of the leg that you are going to grab.
King
that instruction tackled the problems I faced when attempting single leg entry. Thank you, professor!
My pleasure!
The posture up detail is what I needed to hear today. Failed several single leg attempts last night 🤦♂️😅

This is my go-to takedown. It works on everyone 😁
I LOVE training this. I dream about it some times
Andre keeps wanting to teach even while Bernardo is plugging his video. That’s a good teacher.
I noticed that as well: Galvao wants everyone to learn.
Simple yet so technically sound. Ive always felt awkward going for the single leg, but I can already see myself applying this in a practical al manner. Thank you for this, Professor. Osu!
Thanks professor Galvao & Branard!!
Wow 🤩 huge honor thank you Guys!! Amazing
Frickin brilliant details. Thank you!
It’s a “Huge Honor” for Galvao! Osu !
Andre is a beast. Great tutorial
Galvao is the best. He is skilled and cares. And he works hard.
One of the simplest and most efficient single leg takedown I have seen. Very well explained as well. Thank you!
Such a great teacher!
So much excellent content on this channel. God job, Bernardo.
Até que enfim um single que eu não preciso ajoelhar. Útil na rua em defesa pessoal 😄

Bloody great video guys. Great English Andre! I would love to train with both of you one day.
This guy is so good I love it
Love the little details. 👍
Andre's English is very good
Such a good explanation of the single leg. Thank you both!
Andre is the man. I really hope he grows a neck one day though.
No neck no space for a choke
He was bred to be the perfect wrestler. No neck, no choke.
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing this ! I get guillotined sometimes when I shoot singles.
Cody Morrissey this is just a little tip. There are more details if you watch the entire instructional.
Thank you for this content - awesome technique! OSs!
This is a great video. I hope to see more of Galvao. Thanks!
Brilliant. I love the modifications for BJJ. Thank you.
Great, great instruction! I teach this single leg in my classes. Thank you!
I enjoyed it Bernardo and Andre. Thank you so much!
I just learnt this in my first class. Super fun

No jokes allowed, I guess... It was funny though.

Nice and simple. God damn Andre is quick.
As always, great video. Thanks
2 of the best, thx for sharing!
quite impressive to see the adaptation gaval made from wrestling
Got guillotined many times trying to do single legs in training this weekend. I’ll have to see how this works for me.
Andre no neck galvao is a beast
The entrance is very similar to kuchiki taoshi in judo. We use the lapel side to push out, then catch while standing.
Thx for the informational video
Great video!
This is gold
Nice job guys👍
5:43
I think that's the best takedown in MMA because it's not only simple but also very quick.
Amazing!
Very nice !!!
Thank you sir
this vid helped a lot
Andrea pushes Bernard.
Bernard goes into another dimension.
Bernard pushes Andrea: totally unphased
Both of them would fold me though lol
