I had my first tournament at Tap Cancer Out. My takedowns were pretty bad since I usually roll from the ground in class. That’s why I’m watching videos like this-to learn more about the beginning of a jiu-jitsu competition and everything on my feet. Man, I was bad. Ha. One loss, two wins, and a bronze-hey, I’ll take it. I can pull off the takedown drilling stuff in class when my partner is going with the flow, but when I’m up against a resisting opponent, everything falls apart. EVERYTHING. I recently started talking to my coach and training partners about this, and now I’ve got people willing to start on their feet with me. They’re giving me some solid resistance without trying to kill me. Videos like this are interesting because I had no idea this was even an option for preventing injury. I also just bought Danaher’s stand up instructional, for now that is TMI for me, but at least I have it. Thanks for making videos, your technique looks pretty solid!
My mma coach used to tell us in wrestling class For every failed 1000 takedowns, you’ll get 1 or 2 successful ones. Just keep repping it out (ofc with good technique) What I learned with wrestling and Judo We rep hundreds of entries of throws and takedowns. In BJJ, they do the casual 2 reps per partner then switch. That’s is not enough period. Drill to kill
Stance is key, never get out of stance!
Thanks for the vids, I'm trying to develop standing grappling just as much as my ground game.
