  • Over the years I’ve had a lot of students go for wrestling style take downs and injure their knees. So today we are going to look at how to properly do a wrestling shot so you don’t hurt yourself.

    Yep, BJJ blue belt here. Been smashing my knees for 4 years now lol Hated every time I would get to training and we had to practice takedowns. I just tried doing the shot like you explained it in my living room and instantly felt the difference. Thanks so much, me and my knees appreciate you

    What a great video! Since I started wrestling 1,5 months ago, I always felt pain during the beginning of training, where we had to shoot a takedown. Of course I never knew how to shoot a takedown correctly and always did it with an incorrect form, which brought pain into my knees. After watching this video some couple minutes ago, I shot some slow speedy takedowns in my living room with the form you told and I felt the insane difference between both takedown variants. I’m feeling now, that I can finally shoot a takedown in training worrying about having pain afterwards. Thank you for the explanation.👏
