Takedowns, and why you should never go to the ground, by Val Riazanov

- In this clip I will demonstrate certain takedown techniques and also how to resist them.
I cannot stress enough that going to the ground should never be an option in any street fight and this is not because you cannot win a one-on-one confrontation, but the fact that you don’t know who else is there!
I did a seminar a few years ago for a well known SWAT team in the US. The guys were very welcoming to a Russian perspective and most of them had MMA backgrounds and it was not surprising that they were good at takedown techniques. I gave them some tips from my own grappling background and of course striking and then I asked them to give me some scenarios that they had difficulty with.
Now I can’t be specific as to the exact scenario, but let’s just say that it ended up on the ground and two of these guys were woking on one ‘suspect’. When two people are working on one, then it is safe to assume that they will have the advantage, which of course they did.
But what if the guy had two friends?
Not only was the advantage lost, but now they were vulnerable and I see this situation many, many times.
Now think of you as an individual - you have everything to lose going to the ground!
Pay particular attention to the angles of each takedown and also to staying relaxed and loose as it is not easy to move a ‘dead weight’.
There will be times when you absolutely have to take your opponent to the ground and also when you are taken to the ground as combat is unpredictable, but don’t direct the action to the ground!

To all the commenters saying you should go to ground and jujitsu on the ground always wins etc. These videos and Val's ideas are NOT for ring fighting. He means that you don't want to go to ground in a REAL LIFE street fight. Because people can jump on you or you are rolling around on concrete. These techniques are for practical, real world self defense, not for ring sports where you roll around in a controlled environment.
I have done many years of all kinds of arts including wrestling, Karate, Wing Chun etc. (since the 1960's) , yet I don't know all the great things that Val Riazanov teaches. So I found the explanations on the various videos excellent and worthwhile for anyone to train.
Mr. Riazanov is former Russian intelligence. He's got combat training from time in the military and his Systema instructors were Spetsnaz officers. Pretty sure he knows what he's talking about.
Best advice ' You don't want to be on the floor !!!'
Brilliant stuff guys. Nice to hear input from all parties to the training drills. Well done!
Some people just want a few techniques that work against an untrained attacker. I was watching another channel. The coach had a student who was a school teacher with him (she was learning MMA for self defense). He was honest and said that if she meets an attacker who is smart enough to throw face shots to expose her body (or the other way around), she will lose.
The thing I found valuable from his technique was the kazushi. The takedowns and techniques themselves are common, but his technique for breaking the balance of the attacker is really good.
I am so impressed by the techniques and their clever simplicity !!! I never saw something like that.
A point of view for sure. In a multi opponent situation for sure, not really a great thing, although I 've been on the ground with 5 person fight. I used the guy on ground with me as a shield, worked well. But for sure not the best situation. In fact I was able to get two more down there with me, I was very secured at that point and had one crying from a wrist lock. With a one on one I have no real reason to not go to the ground. I did enjoy your video and found it to be very useful and will, for sure, work on the skills you present on this video.
Val Riazanov good teacher bravo te respect invat multe lucruri de la tine bravo Val
From what dvd this video is taken from?
1:26
very good all vedoe Thank you
Do you have dvd's ?
Nothing wrong with taking your opponent down to neutralize their striking.
Can anyone please link to Gracie Breakdown of this instructional video?
If you are on the ground. It is smart to know what to do once you’re there.
Which is why anyone who recommends Jiu jitsu for self defense is not very streetwise. In fact, many of the BJJ practitioners I know barely understand any take downs! What good is your fighting style if you can't even take anyone down?!
Good video
Is this school in dallas texas?
