At 5:03 that was just filthy. I’ve alway liked Cardenas but since hearing you say he’s one of your fav wrestlers, I too have become a huge fan. Super technical at that weight class. You’re an awesome coach, tactician, a YTuber. I’d love to hear your team say what they love best about having you as a coach. As always, EYGM Gang Gang. 🙏🏼
Shooting off their snap down, is new to me. Very impressive. Just guessing, ways to snap down and be less at risk of this move. Maintain good stance and be ready to wrestle at all times. Get and keep angle of attack at all times. When in equal stance, try to keep my head-half a head lower than opponent’s head. And even better to get angle of attack. If possible you should be looking at opponent and opponent should have his head turned slightly to the side. Even if there is no contact, try to get angle of attack relative position to opponent-with you looking straight ahead at him, and him looking or turned slightly away. On a double leg takedown (not blast double used by Jordan Burroughs) when attacking wrestler has shot a double leg and has turned the corner, he now has angle of attack. Sometimes an arm drag is followed by a double leg takedown. Many times that arm drag will give angle of attack to wrestler shooting double leg takedown. I’m still impressed with your technique video of shots off opponent’s snap down. I wrestled in 60’s 70’s and 80’s I can say this reshoot type of shot after their snap down would have taken me down too. Thank you for showing this technique working against great wrestlers!
Coach, could you do a video on the (double) ankle ride? I was a tall wrestler and could hold anyone forever from behind securely with a double ankle ride. Whether on top or even just sitting behind my opponent, hooking their ankles with my feet meant whatever they did I could maintain my position of control. If the opponent tries to turn, their feet will move to make the turn and they simply drag mine around behind them with the turn so I can stay in position. (A single-side ankle ride from a position sitting behind the opponent is visible in this video by Cardenas at 6:30.). But I never figured out what to do from there. Please share your evaluation and coaching thoughts about the ankle ride.

the way musukaev runs like a dog around him reminds me of the werewolves from the underworld movies
It doesn't seem natural when he starts running after a leg!
Great job shooting/timing off of the opponents snaps is such a subtle detail that I overlooked

Excellent analysis! Thank you.
