@@MrDeano-eu9rg The Low Single is very effective. In wrestling its also known as the John Smith low single. He could hit it on anyone and everyone. Very high percentage and had very low risk if you miss. You can also take the shot with no real setup and just level change to the the shot.
John Smith is amazing! I watched a ton of John Smith to get ready for my BJJ comp and I nailed the takedown every time when I competed! .... I also got triangles three times in a row because I forgot to work transitions.
Some of the wrestlers in the comments section are failing to understand something about this technique. It is MODIFIED for BJJ, meaning this is how Will is using this OUTSIDE the context of a wrestling rule set, and against competitors who often have no wrestling background. I promise you that he understands that this technique would need to be finished differently under a wrestling rule set, and I promise you that he understands that former wrestlers will respond differently to this attack than pure BJJ players do...
Hey chew, you should consider a body mic for your and your guest when your in an open space, it’s a bit difficult to hear, aside from that great video !
This is something to ponder. I’ve been shooting a John Smith-ish low single since forever. Just going hell for leather to get my shoulder planted against their shin below the knee with my head in the inside.
Would recommend watching wrestling technique for this take down it’s more refined. As most takedowns from the feet will be. There is 3 more defenses to a low single. You can just step on the guys same side shoulder and step over. Will most like result in no scrabble and stay on the feet. This must be trained to a muscle memory. Next is were you just fall on the guy put his head inbetween your legs. From here it’s a scramble situation where you want to be attacking his legs and hands. Third is a “discuss throw” it’s the worst defense in my opinion but it’s better than letting him stand up. You spin on your trapped leg all the way around and go for his leg you both end up on the mat with a leg and you are in a scramble position. Issue is a good guy will just stand up as you come out of the spin. And you end up in even worse position.
@@abreujiujitsu Well, consider this. That takedown is actually unstoppable if you get that far in, via a number of finishes. All legit takedowns are. I come from bjj 1st, 2005. Now I have enough legit wrestling to say this. This is good news, not trying to be confrontational.
When I wrestled I had a single leg where I would drop down to a similar level, but instead of standing up for the ankle pick, I would drive through for the single leg. And if I needed I could trip his other leg with my other hand.
Whenever I try to take a wrestling stance in BJJ stand-up, invariably people start attacking my neck ... guillotines or snapdowns. I'm assuming the counter to this is maintaining that distance with the hands checking their shoulder. Any other tips? Much appreciated!
I always hit the low single when I get move away a littlw and wait for them to step with that target foot and put their weight on it.... then spring on it.
Should I take more pride in being able to tap larger opponents, or being able to tap higher belt levels? Bit of a broad question but it will help me with my mindset
Belt. You shouldn’t have an issue tapping someone bigger if you’re better at Jiu Jitsu. But really you should just be focusing on getting better and not which is better tap. Especially if it’s rolling and not a competition. When I’m rolling with lower belts I let them work. I don’t just let them have subs but I’m not trying to smash them. If they do everything correct I will let them get the submission so they can improve their game. If they were getting prideful over me taking it easy to HELP THEM LEARN then that would be the last time I took it easy on them and I be giving them a reality check the next time we rolled.
Yes and no. It's all dependent on their react during and after the shot. Most come forward to pressure you. That's enough for me to follow up with another attack.
Yooooooooo
Mom I made it lol. Thank you @ChewJiujitsu. Was a blast meeting you. See you soon homie.
Great vid!
My BJJ is heavily influenced by folkstyle wrestling, so I appreciate this content greatly.
Happy to share brother.
Thank you, glad you like it.
@@AV9000x hey what's up
Just a reminder to everyone. Do something to work towards your goals!
One of my favorite takedowns as a lanky grappler/former judo player. super effortless
So it mostly works? I'm 6'3 90kgs and the tallest at my gym.

@@MrDeano-eu9rg definitely can work for you. I also recommend 2on1 control.
@@jhonthomas2899 you're spot on my bro.
Blackhouse Miami Beach is an excellent gym and Will is an excellent coach! Come train!
Will's a solid dude.
Thank you! Appreciate the love and support.
Hit one tonight in class. Good stuff. Thanks for the helpful detail.
Awesome to hear. You picked it up fast.

John is my top pick as the best.
What do you mean about the Triangles?

So this is what you were doing while I was at your gym! Audio is rough btw. Also, sick single leg. Thank you!
Glad you like the technique.

Felt so weird not hearing "Adam... Adam" at the end
Awesome, definitely giving this a go!
Awesome
Let me know how it goes.
Will is a tough and great guy. I got the chance to roll with him at Black House Miami. Amazing details! Osssss 👊
Wow Chewy you’re at Sanford that’s awesome💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

thanks chewie for posting this
I have a challenge to this technique! What if someone simply just kicks out! Just the feel I see ! Awesome video and technique, just nit picking!
Hey Chewy, I think this video is set so you can only view it if you have the link. Just a heads up🙌🏼
How do you mean?
@@Chewjitsu my guess hes saying it's a private video, but I'm seeing it
@@Chewjitsu he must mean it's set to "unlisted".

Not to take anything away from the tech you showed, but the point of shooting that with the head inside is that you circle outside on their defense.
Correct
In BJJ the guys could simply fall to their hip over you and work to attack the back.

Both methods are still taught.
Sounds like the original John Smith low single.
@@abreujiujitsu that how coach Moore taught it🤷♂️

Good vid but audio little weird

If over 30 lbs I don't place value in it. Higher belt seems like a better route.

Larger opponents. Belts are meaningless.
Wow Adam Sandler is an insane grappler
Excellent technique to catch a foot or knee to the face.
No concerns of that in grappling.
its a move that works good against grapplers with a low stance
If you throw a sloppy first shot, is there a concern that the opponent will now be more prepared for you to fire that off?
Yes and no.
It's all dependent on their react during and after the shot. Most come forward to pressure you. That's enough for me to follow up with another attack.
Is there a risk of them shooting for a neck hold when you drop down for the ankle?
@@kvothethebloodless8090 while they try you have plenty of time to transition to guard.
UFC needs to adopt The Pride rules. Kicking should be allowed if the person is on the ground.

Think the gain is too high on your mic my dude, it's peaking and distorting quite badly
Third!
What’s Wills last name. The beard slurred his name.
Why is the audio so terrible?
RIP earphone users
Sorry bout that. New camera and gadgets.
Buy a decent mic please.
