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 .
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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!
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.
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
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!
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.
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 !!!!
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. 👍
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 like your video and the way you teach ^^ I was wondering what was your though about doing a good old O-goshi instead of pummeling (going under the arm for body lock), or similar hips throws ? Thanks.
Do you like to hit kouchi/ouchi gari (inside trip) from the body lock as well? Seems like using the body lock to break their posture leaves them extremely vulnerable to those types of attacks
this is great. one thing that comes to mind - is there a risk of getting kneed in the groin in a self defense situation? I can't tell how easy or hard it would be to do so for the attacker. If so, is it about angling on the outside to avoid being in range?
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
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.
Always great stuff, Coach Brian, but in a street fight, going to your knees on a sidewalk or street can injure you- especially if you're taking the guy down fast. How would you avoid slamming your own knees with this takedown?
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.
Hello coach Brian I have a question: For self defense (concrete ground) am I supposed to remove my arms from him before to hit the ground, or should I let him fall over my arms/hands anyway? Thanks in advance.
Good video! I like the technique, however the arm in body lock covers the far arm from strikes, versus the other version which leaves your face exposed. Would love to hear what you think!
The strikes would have little to no effect in a fight. Having the arms underneath is better control of the hips and your opponent will be so off balance, striking will lead to the takedown. With the arm trapped is fine too if you control the hips.
The cino brothers LOVE your videos! As always, great stuff to consider. Question - why wouldn't you crunch and take them down on the left side (if you could of course) so that you are pre pummeled on the opposite side of your hips? It worked really well in the mountains where the Greco Romans are from.
I assume you mean a basic hip throw. Yes it’s a good technique as well. I believe what I showed is easier to learn and has less counters to it. Both great techniques.
TeachMeGrappling Coach Brian - you would crunch his right elbow to hís hip on your left side, lift him a little, bump hís right thigh with the inside of your left thigh while continuing to face him the whole time. My uncle constantino used to hit this all day long against almost anyone but he was also "strong like bull". I would use this against civilians all of the time no problem. Now wrestlers are a different story of course ;) another thing to note about the double under is that a really spazzy civilian (or a kung fu master) can go for an eye gouge unless you bury one eye in your own bicep and the other in hís chest. This kills a lot of your crunching take down power but you probably don't need much when the guy is still focused on striking you when he should be sprawling. Keep doing your thing, brother. Do you ever come out to chicago for seminars? The family jiu jitsu academy and possibly ufc gym in NAPERVILLE would love to host you.
Old guy here that relied primarily on headlocks throughout my life when I fought… aaaaaaand suffered for it at times when my opponent managed to roll me and get in repeated punches to my schnozz. I would love to learn a really effective defensive, rolling into offensive, fight system that catered to my strengths. Figured that a wrestling based game would suit me rather than relying on my bullet head and cement hands. Any suggestions for a 58 year old gym rat…?
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
At my gym a lot of guys try to attack the legs and trip you that way. Is there a good defense for leg trips? I'm tall so I can get away easily but a lot of the time it ends up with them bent at 90 degree angle while I'm just trying to step in close to get control of them.
I will do a video soon on what I do when my opponents hips are back. Most guys avoid trips by keeping their hips back. A good idea is to look for snap downs.
There is a similar throw in Muay Thai, called "giant grabs the girl" except you only throw them over 1 leg and always dump them on the floor while remaining standing.
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.

I appreciate the atmosphere you generate. This was a quality video and it felt it was given by real ppl. Good shet 👍👍

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
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 !!!!
Very detailed explanation. Enjoyed it.
i dig the variations you do of everything; jujitsu vs mma vs street, it's unique
I cant believe ppl give you thumbs down, good content long and its free.
Ppl love to complain I guess

I plow it down when i know theyre slightly turned theres no defense for it you can just plow through
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
I’ve been doing this a long time and these are good details !
Very good instruction. Thanks!
great no bs self defense video. good to see, great job!
Great breakdown of an old-school Jiu-Jitsu clinch with some wrestling Theory on getting a better control and a safer takedown. 👍Oss!
Great informative video thank you much!

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.
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
Dang. That's solid. Want to get my daughter into self defense, and I want her to be able to grapple.

Hello coach Brian I have a question: For self defense (concrete ground) am I supposed to remove my arms from him before to hit the ground, or should I let him fall over my arms/hands anyway? Thanks in advance.
great stuff!
During the take down, if I try to slam the opponent, will my hands not suffer from injuries, if my and the opponent's body weight are put on them?
Thanks for the good review of the basic
Nice easy takedown! Thanks!
I like to control people without hurting them. ❤️
That's why I like jiu-jitsu

OMG! Osoto gari intro
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.
Great video
Nice one dude
Very important. Very nice.
Excellent video. Subbed.
BP! Nice job Keep it up
when you are at 4:14 can you just lower your arms to his hips and then just throw him down and basically fall on him?
good stuff. how about a vid on a defense for this takedown?
I’d love to. There is so much to do!
Do you worry about a head butt from him or is it a non-factor? Thanks!
You want to make sure your head is tight to his body so the head butt is ineffective. He will hurt himself trying to bump it into you.
Thank you, coach!

My man, this move is fucking awesome
Vs an heavy guy i think a very good takedown is low single leg at the ankle area
Excellent 👍
There is a similar throw in Muay Thai, called "giant grabs the girl" except you only throw them over 1 leg and always dump them on the floor while remaining standing.
Yes I believe I know what you are saying. Good technique too.
Excelente!
