I've started training Bjj a few weeks ago and absaloutly loving it . This looks like a great move that I'm going ask my training partner Fri night class if we can try this . I'm in desperate to find someone I can do some drilling with between classes so I can perfect my moves . I'm 45 yrs old and it's going to be a hard road but we'll worth it . Thanks again .
Just a point on the street fight aspect: be very careful of your knees and wrists etc when your landing. It's a nice takedown but if you do it on concrete without changing your landing for a hard surface you could wreck yourself. As he says at the end: don't get dirty. Loved the tutorial mind you. Very clear.
I attended an "Entangled Fighting" seminar recently, taught by a 2nd degree BJJ blackbelt. He taught us almost the exact same moves. It is good to see two independent, knowledgeable instructors teaching similar concepts.
Despite the interruptions and distractions, this is the best tutorial on youtube for understanding body lock/bear hug takedowns. Thank you so much for creating this content.
@@davideric8250 its good when for example opponent on top of you. You can learn how to get out. So I think wrestling and jiu jitsu complement each other.
Did a slight (accidental) variation of the pummel tonight. Got both under hooks first, which made my opponent base out even more. I still went for the side tip which brought him back in a bit and I managed to get the body lock and take down, Thanks Coach, it's a great technique.
I study judo so when i get to a low body lock like that i like to go with a tani otoshi, but I like to be able to have that option. Plus your tips on getting to the body lock from the over under position are awesome so that will help me get that desired body lock that I want so badly.
This video is outstanding! Full of great details for a noob like me. I've improved my upper body wrestling thank to videos like yours and would love to see more on the topic. Thank you.
"What do you want for christmas" lmao, that's a genius way to make you remember the most important part of the takedown actually. Now i will remember the movement alot better because you added a humoristic element to the explanation. Bravo!
Great channel this dude's like a magician who lets u in on some of the trade secret tricks. I always hit the slow motion so i can really absorb the lesson. THANKS FOR HELPING OUT THE AVG JOES.
That's some solid grappling technique. I watch too much and only able to retain so much to the next mat. Hopefully this one sticks cause it sure would improve my standup takedown
Always makes me take a second thought about things , i just have to learn how to actually apply the moves learned through here in real life during rolling . Once I'm rolling all thoughts and memories seem to go out and that's the worst.
Hi coach, I know I'm 2 years late, but our club will be practicing this tonight. We're trying to incorporate more wrestling on top of our striking game. Will keep you posted here. Thanks heaps!
I love this channel already tried so many techniques some come out better than others, just need more practice but the ghost is unstoppable! Thank you for sharing so much knowledge.
You've earned youself another sub, great video man. As a 1st Kyu judoka its cool te see (and learn) some moves for clinching, great video for my MMA skills
I love this move. Even at a tiny 5'2 I'm able to use this move on bigger guys. It's my goto against bigger opponents since I dont want to shoot on anyone above 170 lbs and end up on btm. My tiny arms allow me to sneak into the gaps against bigger guys when pummeling. Only issue I have sometimes is being able to get my arms around a bigger guy and lock hands. On the bright side most bigger guys hips are right at my level. I dont really have to change levels to much lol. Great video. Going to share it for sure.
People underestimate smaller guys , big mistake , in my experience some of the baddest m.fs I've met and seen fight were very short , keep training and always stand up for yourself and the your loved ones !!!!
This might be kind of a weird comment, but I used to do taekwondo as a kid, and my favorite part of it would be the "self defense" stuff we were doing once a year for demos. He grabs your shirt here, you do this and this kinda thing. Aikido-y. Back then, I would have watched this video and would be like "oh that's so messy and brute, where's the precision blah blah". But after starting grappling a few months ago, I come to appreciate this for the beautiful technique it is. It's beautiful not because it looks beautiful, but because it's just so damn effective.
Definitely like the 20 minute videos even better. But all of them are good. I just swap back and forth between newest videos and older ones. Request - your favorite A game submission attack chain. Example: your go-to that you like to look for this sub, but if if they counter you go here, if they counter that you go on to this, etc.
From the bottom, closed guard. You've got some awesome videos already on top half guard, and I've watched your omoplata series (maybe that's already your favorite?)
I want the long videos as well because your teaching is so well thought out. I only have time to learn from a few teachers and have done Karate. Hope to teach one day.
Reminds me of Backhold wrestling at the Highland Games. I got picked up and thrown all over the place, despite both participants remaining in over/under clinch. Nice vid
I never thought it was realistically a good idea to be all crouched over in a real fight. Maybe they're willing to "take one" to get the take down (I'm not). Thanks for the lesson.
I'd love to see more body lock entries and takedowns. Not coming from a wrestling background it's difficult to enter confidently with the double leg but the body lock I find alot safer from strikes.
Double legs are easier to enter take this from a wrestlers stand point. You cant just dive for it everytime You have to set it up. The set up for the double leg is circling until you have angle. And than shoot. Atleast for me.
Thanks for keeping the street fight reality in mind. What are your thoughts about incorporating some combat jiu jitsu techniques? Thanks again for your time brother. 👍
Great move and excellent point on the stance pointing at the differences between sport wrestling and street fight situation It is so true that wrestlers have the habit of not clinching or not doing it properly unless greco roman I use this move a lot for one simple reason Minimum strength maximum efficiency down to the point but i only do one thing different The arm that goes behind the lower back i always make sure that i switch it to a palm up and palm down with the other hand It is much more secure way tighter n there is no way your oponent could move back his heap or even create an inch of space it feels much much tighter beacause your palm up results in your elbow and forearm gluedto his lower back The difference between palm up and palm down on that specific arm is a good 3 to 4 inches tighter thus harder for your oponent to escape beacause it forces his heap even more in to you It just feel much tighter on his lower back osss ! Great video great move
Awesome stuff Sir! But I think for a combat style of doing it I think I would have kept one arm over instead of the double under. Because when throw the Boxing gloves on for some jiu-jitsu I have people that try and get the double under and a frame across the neck usual messes with them enough that I can make space and keep hitting them in the face or upper cut haha 😆
Yes that’s possible. It’s also possible to negate that defense by staying tight and just finishing the takedown. It all comes down to who is better prepared.
at the moment where you get your arms locked low around his body and one of his arms, i see a good situation for a no gi uchi mata. you keep his hips against yours with your right hand while you let go of your left hand to grab his right elbow or forearm. then you do the classic judo footwork for uchi mata: left foot come under the guy, just behind your right foot, right foot goes flying and sweep his leg up in the air as your hips lift him, and you fine tune the angle with your control of the upper body.
I hope the guy attacking me waits while I rewatch this step by step.
lol that's what i'm saying and thinking to myself. in a chaotic street fight with a strong resisting squirmer, what are the odds of this working?
@jamesk479 i would suggest bjj. and i'm a judo fan.
Drillers make killers.
If someone is attacking you it’s probably a good idea to go for something else than a body lock.
THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE THE MOVE BEFORE!!! IDIOT!!!
Have to remember this next time my grandmother tries to hug me
🤣
hard core R D
Lol It works on Grandmas too! But dont be surprised if she doesn't get you anything for Christmas
She'd choke you out, dont play.
the granny in the park have no chance now
“What do you want for Christmas”? The best line I’ve ever heard in a takedown!

For some reason everytime i see spaces before dots, i just know its coming from an older person

BJJ sucks so bad in takedowns
David eric you just suck at it
@@davideric8250 its good when for example opponent on top of you. You can learn how to get out. So I think wrestling and jiu jitsu complement each other.

Its basically a bear hug and trip

Excellent video. Thank you.
Amazing Break down!!!
Great informative video thank you much!
Thank you very much for this informative video sir. I learned a lot from it.
Very good variation to the bodyfold takedown! Seems even easier this way

Great breakdown of an old-school Jiu-Jitsu clinch with some wrestling Theory on getting a better control and a safer takedown. 👍Oss!
Great instructional
I cant believe ppl give you thumbs down, good content long and its free.
Ppl love to complain I guess
I’ve been doing this a long time and these are good details !
Thanks ! Sensei , you are truly doing an awesome thing by helping us learn Self Defense . God bless You'll 🙏 .

Are u an adult cause if u are yr very small I'm 15 and I'm 5'9
Can’t get your arms around someone bigger? Either you’re 7 yrs old or fighting a sumo wrestler.
In a self-defense situation though?
Dan99 L 😂 lol

😜
Fuck isis!
Matt Garza 😂 lol
Zeak...shut the fuck up! Lol
Hahaha "what do you want for christmas?" That really got me😂 . Also a great technuiqe, as always!
The amount of power he has, he just looked
Thank you for this. Excellent instruction.
Dang. That's solid. Want to get my daughter into self defense, and I want her to be able to grapple.
Very good again!
Very interesting
Thumbs up ! Thank you !
One of my favourite moves.. ✊
well done.
great stuff!

I plow it down when i know theyre slightly turned theres no defense for it you can just plow through
Great video
Thanks for the good review of the basic
Works well
I like this.
Very important. Very nice.
Excellent 👍
Good content man
Your videos are really coooool. Thanks!
Excelente!
NEVER a thumbs down Bro
I like the bear hug but I was always taught to trip inside. When you trip outside it does put you right in side control.
OMG! Osoto gari intro
GOLD!
Thanks for keeping the street fight reality in mind. What are your thoughts about incorporating some combat jiu jitsu techniques? Thanks again for your time brother. 👍
I will try for sure.
Vs an heavy guy i think a very good takedown is low single leg at the ankle area
simple sweet effective👍
About to try this in my no gi class.
Update: I failed miserably
Cole Perkins haha
“Hey kids, can you keep the noise level down. I’m shooting a video.” I’m done
Nice one dude
The bear hug! Lol my only takedown with underhooks for the longest time
Thank you
Simple and Nice. Thank you!
Good 👍 move
great clip.
This is gold!
Great
Great move and excellent point on the stance pointing at the differences between sport wrestling and street fight situation
It is so true that wrestlers have the habit of not clinching or not doing it properly unless greco roman
I use this move a lot for one simple reason
Minimum strength maximum efficiency down to the point but i only do one thing different
The arm that goes behind the lower back i always make sure that i switch it to a palm up and palm down with the other hand
It is much more secure way tighter n there is no way your oponent could move back his heap or even create an inch of space it feels much much tighter beacause your palm up results in your elbow and forearm gluedto his lower back
The difference between palm up and palm down on that specific arm is a good 3 to 4 inches tighter thus harder for your oponent to escape beacause it forces his heap even more in to you
It just feel much tighter on his lower back osss ! Great video great move
Moto Biker 🤙🤙🤙 gooood explanation. The TECHNICAL side of fighting. Skills wins fights.
Awesome stuff Sir!
But I think for a combat style of doing it I think I would have kept one arm over instead of the double under. Because when throw the Boxing gloves on for some jiu-jitsu I have people that try and get the double under and a frame across the neck usual messes with them enough that I can make space and keep hitting them in the face or upper cut haha 😆
Yes that’s possible. It’s also possible to negate that defense by staying tight and just finishing the takedown. It all comes down to who is better prepared.
Fedor was very good at this. Slight variation though, he only blocked 1 leg and drove forward.
Thank you!
I can finally defend myself from those high school kids thank you for this advise
Very cool
at the moment where you get your arms locked low around his body and one of his arms, i see a good situation for a no gi uchi mata. you keep his hips against yours with your right hand while you let go of your left hand to grab his right elbow or forearm. then you do the classic judo footwork for uchi mata: left foot come under the guy, just behind your right foot, right foot goes flying and sweep his leg up in the air as your hips lift him, and you fine tune the angle with your control of the upper body.
