Holy jesus. You know those moments when you realise how little you know? This video just did that to me. I'm going to be trying this next training! Thanks!
Wrestling augments BJJ so well and BJJ augments wrestling like nobody's business. I did BJJ growing up tried out for my college wrestling team, I got to compete because we we had less guys at my weight class then all the others haha, I did get smashed my first couple matches, but after let go of pride and work out the kinks of BJJ to wrestling I am not kidding leg locks from BJJ without finishing them, 50/50 guard, and omoplata to a funk roll is so much fun and effective literally nobody knows what you are doing, you almost feel like you are cheating after because wrestling is so structured and traditional -no more new moves that nobody sees this stuff coming! leg locks are money in wrestling! And it helped so much with my BJJ too. ( I had to stop because my classes are too hard to do a sport)
Ive been doing jitz for 4+ years, and before that, I did wrestling for 4 years in high school before that, and I can tell you that Folkstyle wrestling truly is a gold mine for unexplored ground positions for BJJ. Catch-as-Catch-Can wrestling as well. I would recommend having a solid understanding of the turtle guard first though, seeing as the bottom position used in Folkstyle wrestling is the turtle guard, only instead of resting on your forearms and or forehead on the mat, you are resting your hands on the mat.
I incorporated this into my jiu jitsu and eventhough i have a somewhat good guard, when people pass it i do this move and with little effort i end up on top. Thank you for sharing this, ps i have been pulling this move since 2015, a lot of trial and error but now im able to hit it effortlessly.
I have adapted Eduardo Telles game quite alot to help protect my injured knee 6 years ago. Turtle helped me understand quite alot of the wrestling concepts like the Granby roll. This is right up my alley.But to be confident in these sorts of positions your awareness ness to be at a fairly decent level. I can't wait to start working with this, especially that one Askren uses. It's an angle I have never considered. Cheers Scout
Awesome breakdown! I haven't watched much wrestling lately but I did watch this years NCAAs and saw how Jesse Delgado funks out of two great double legs that Nashon Garrett hit on him Jesse Delgado 2014 NCAA Wrestling Champion (125 lb)
I remember seeing Mark Laimon do this from the guard when his opponent stood up, about 15 years ago. Thanks for breaking it down and tying it back together!
beautiful video, thanks. I use this roll sometimes when I get stucked too and this makes me want to start looking for it even more often! p.s. check the queixinho vs gui mendes fight, queixinho successfully used it more than once.
Interesting technique, people need to stop getting so wrapped up in the name of the sport a technique is associated with. Take what fits into your game and use it. Dont worry about whether people say it is BJJ, Judo, Sambo, Wrestling, Submission Wrestling, Catch as Catch Can or whatever else. In the end it is grappling.
I love this, I am sure there must a berimbolo counter off this somewhere, I will have to have a play. Thanks for vid, your work is some of the best in the BJJ community!
One of my training partners is a funky wrestler, both high school and college, he is now a 2nd degree bb, he is so much fun to roll with, he makes something out of nothing and makes the impossible look like child's play, Great video and Subject matter once again
As a bjj judo cross trainer who likes to play a lot of turtle, this show another very viable option for me. I've gotten to similar positions, but didn't know to turn to the side and get up! Thanks!
Gr8 vid. It completes a cycle i started four or five years ago as a blue belt. It would emulate Xandes reverse roll to modified funk but if you didn't execute it 100% a guy can take your back ie. if he's stooped lower vs standing breaking your guard. I failed using it in competition and never tried it again. But this vid has reinvigorated me. I try chumorrow.
Funny, I've done this several times to avoid the stack pass on failed triangles, arm bars, and guard sweeps. I didn't even realize I was doing it, I was just thrilled I wasn't stuck in somebody's side control afterwards - but I did feel like I was in a vulnerable position. From my experience, it's a lot easier when you have a deep underhook on that leg, it makes the transition through the legs a lot smoother when you're already under their hips making it hard for them to sprawl. Thanks for sharing this; I'll definitely be looking for more "funk rolling" opportunities from now on.
I always get countered by a crucifix in bjj when using the funk. Marcelo vs Askren went quite the same. I want to find out how to avoid that position while still being able to funk.
Another wrestler who likes funk rolls is Jesse Delgado. Look up his match with Nashon Garrett. Delgado funk rolled his way out of every shot Garrett took
Gilhfree yeah funking is cool, there are many other funk moves unfortunately no one has taken down Askren (well once in ONEFC) so we don't get to see them
I'd just like to say a big thanks for this video. For years I have feared side control as a longer and lankier mma practitioner (relative to the rest of the people in my weight class). Now I escape it immediately with no sweat :D Also hitting it from failed sprawl. Working on hitting it from elsewhere too! Great stuff :D Subscribed!
Great video bailing on armbars when stacked is my most effective way of to use the funk roll as a smaller guy. Love any video giving props to askren he's the top 3 best MMA grapplers in the game.
try throwing up a sloppy triangle. as your partner throws your choke leg over his head to pass, swim for his leg and funk roll. love this technique. thanks scout.
I appreciate your enthusiasm! The video was done well! Though it seems to be a risky transition against an agile grappler. Prior to viewing this breakdown I knew the Funk Roll was at risk to be countered by a Braulio Estima style of upside down triangle and, as mentioned before, the Crucifix. After taking a closer look. A traditional triangle was a clear option in one of Xande's demonstrations from standing and watching Mighty Mouse vs JoeJitsu there is solid opening to attack an arm triangle (Brabo/D'Arce or the Japanese Neck Tie) I hate to be the guy who gets shown a technique and only thinks about countering it. But when considering adapting a technique to fit my game, as I did with the funk roll, I need to be aware of the risks, and how high those risks are. Personally, the risks seem to be too high. Good luck to all of you high rollers in your funk rolling futures!
hey yes crucifix is one of the biggest risks here (see the outro of this video) but I think some things can be done to this pure wrestling move to adapt it for BJJ...it's just an idea though, it's up to the community to explore this position!
Wrestling is a great feeding ground for new BJJ techniques. Marcelo Garcia dominated for a decade by adapting Russian tie (2-on-1) control, arm drags, and high-single leg takedowns off his x-guard into his jiu jitsu.
The reverse single doesn't kill the cradle attempt altogether, its not getting broken in your position and building a base thru the transition that keeps you safe. If you rest or give in to the cross-face you will get cradled and end up with your arms stuck between their legs and unable to defend yourself. Other than that good analysis
very nice, looks very useful in uncomfortable situations and super effective with the surprise factor in the scramble; will be drilling this soon! also I think theres an old clip of roy nelson in a grappling match defending using this along the lines of defending his back standing? very happy to see the detail into it now
I have been funk rolling out of failed triangle attempts rather than switching to omaplata which is a low percentage sub for me. I'd rather have the chance to come out the back and get top control.
+kerpal321 hi so to stop that, u need to use something called a double knee slide as you tripod up on your head (so u don't always have to use the free hand to base up) using the other hand to control the leg trying to reverse triangle ua-cam.com/video/ZhJ93OJQu_c/v-deo.html this is what a double knee slide is
@@albertoliverserna The funk roll is different then the Pederson roll(reverse grip on the leg). With the funk roll you roll all the way through while the Pederson is more of a sit out. Ben Askren is an one of the best wrestlers of all time and might be the best scrambler of all time so he chains many moves together.
Anyone here that does BJJ and wants to get better I highly recommend joining a wrestling team, yes you will get smashed but work out the kinks you will come back after a whole season to BJJ very very intimidating. And after working out the kinks for BJJ in wrestling you will look like a wizard at wrestling matches
As a wrestler looking to get into BJJ, I didn't realize this was uncommon. It's a classic scramble technique. I like the name "funk roll" though. Do they teach in BJJ that whoever can lift the ankle higher (relative to starting position) wins?
Funny you should post this. My base is wrestling and I coach it and I love bjj. A year or two ago I started to philosophize that it was actually wrestlers how started to dabble in bjj who began the funk. Recently Ive begun to notice the prevalence of how wrestling is utilizing the kimura to defend the head inside single. The two will meld as wrestling begins to see the benifits of bjj and bjj becomes willing to cross train in wrestling. But you should know this, in the wrestling community some belive that funk becomes possible from sloppy weak positioned shots. Meaning that good technique defeats the funk. What do you think about that idea and bjj? Great vid!
Yes I think funk is not that popular in wrestling because of the back exposure risked (ie out of folkstyle, it's even more risky). I think someone with fundamental technique would be very hard to funk against but then Asken was not just a good funk wrestler, he also has a good double and many had to tone down their aggressiveness (and get shot on instead) because of his funking so it has its uses...in BJJ with no back exposure issue (and also its 2 points if you reverse a takedown) this move is an additional possibility that can catch people off guard, especially if they get the single but can't get a finish. As far as the origins of funk, I don't know if it was from BJJ's influence really,maybe the cradle stuff (from the single)
Wrestlers have been using Double wrist lock to defend against head inside single leg since ever wrestling was invented. The problem is that Double wrist lock was made illegal in 1930s, so applying it further than a certain angle gets you disqualified. That's why it has lost it's popularity in American amateur wrestling (although Iranians and Russians still use it somewhat). Check Mark Schultz vs Turks in 1984 Olympics and you'll see what I mean.
Wrestling is FAR and AWAY the best base in MMA. Its a straight up fact. DC holds two titles, GSP probably the GOAT was a wrestler first, Khabib the most dominate fighter in the history is a wrestler (beat the dog ish out of conor mcTapper) Askren is undefeated. TJ Dillashaw. Henry Cejudo. All wrestlers and title holders. Where is your Damian Maia? Your only hope currently is Jacare.
Wrestling and striking just works when you know how to defend submissions. And subs defense are the first thing that you learn in jiu-jitsu. So the base for mma it'a the base of jiu-jitsu: knowing how to not tap.
I love this video and I am down with its message, but I am not so sure about that last application of funk rolling after bailing on an armbar attempt, looked sus.
Damn I was doing this by accident lol I thought it looked stupid and sloppy but worked great. I come from a freestyle background so we never exposed our backs like this
I do a simular game plan from bottom half. Never use the knee shield till the last moment I can to make sure don't get leg locked. I look to see how close either foot is, if I can reach it I ankle pick to escape. If I can't I look to arm drag the far arm and attack a kneebar and use it to get on top, if the kneebar if poor funk roll works well for me. If I can't arm drag the far arm I do the near arm to get a kimura and I use the reaction of you to take your back, if you don't react I just finish to kimura. If for what ever reason I can't take your back I bail to attack the leg and either funk roll, ankle pick, or use the toe hold to get on top
thanks for the great video! one question: when I do the funk roll i almost always get caught in a crucifix maybe I'm doing something wrong? any ideas??
maybe but you could just watch a few good instructionals? RR uses russian tie in MMA, in BJJ the stand up isn't that well developed and it's banned in judo so....unless I do wrestling breakdowns which isn't what I'm going for...
It's more a defensive counter move to get reversals when someone shoots on you, but as long as you can get to the legs (even from a sprawl in a scramble) anything is possible...
Just another day taking a wrestling technique, renaming it and soon introduce it as invented by some bjj guy (insert any eddie bravo signature move). Nice job boys.
4 years later and we're still willing to watch part 2!
Make that six years

X-guard/deep half to funk backup escapes will be gold. I'll let you know once I'm there lol. Thanks for the video
ahahah I saw some Marcelo in the part2 preview,
he didn't know the move but already have the answer,
classic Marcelo...
try throwing up a sloppy triangle. as your partner throws your choke leg over his head to pass, swim for his leg and funk roll. love this technique. thanks scout.
Dude this is awesome you need to make a part two!
You do such an amazing job with these videos. Thank you.

Just amazing as always, I'm going to try this in the gym tomorrow.
I think imanari uses this for when someone catches his leg off kicks and funk rolls into leg lock
Check out Cary Kolats video on funk rolls, footage in this is taken from his instructional. Excellent video, BJJSCOUT!
Prime scout. God damn you were a genius.
very nice, looks very useful in uncomfortable situations and super effective with the surprise factor in the scramble; will be drilling this soon!

Best channel on youtube!
Amazing video in every aspect. Great job.
Solid stuff.....for sure......Many techniques can be applied from wrestling to jiu jitsu.
would love to see you do a full study on "funky" Ben. Thanks
We need you back
So much of my game was inspired by this video
Funk to me is alot about controlling scrambles with out a set technique its about being creative and having fun
dude you are a genius when it comes to this shit
It is similar to deep half in what gets accomplished. nice stuff.
Gotta watch out for the crucifix and reverse omoplata though…
part 2 please!
Props to Gerry Abbas who was out there doing this in the early 90s
doing this no doubt, I'm so used to getting doubled in competitions, i have to always work from a sweep
Grappling is universal!!
Ekkapto estas universa!!!
I would love to see part 2!
I have been funk rolling out of failed triangle attempts rather than switching to omaplata which is a low percentage sub for me. I'd rather have the chance to come out the back and get top control.
AMAZING VIDEO! Thank you so much!
the problem with the reverse leg in bjj is it leaves you open to the crucifix
Yeah Garry Tonon tried using this against Yuri Simoes and got crucifixed (crucified?).
im able to use the funk roll quite a bit and its an awesome move, but i avoid the reverse single leg grip
How do you funk roll without the reverse single leg grip? (I'm new to this move)

on it.. thank you
That's my go to half guard escape if I can get my bottom arm through early enough and keep the thigh in tight

good break down, be careful of the crucifix at 1.55 other than that seams legit.
haha I wrote that before i saw the end. seams marcelo and i think alike.
very nice
Great great great!
how about frank mir? he used a simular Method to submit Brock.
thanks for the great video! one question: when I do the funk roll i almost always get caught in a crucifix maybe I'm doing something wrong? any ideas??
Funk rolls seem open to crucifix and leglocks
i wiil defentliy try to use it...
can you make a study about russian tie up for bjj?
maybe but you could just watch a few good instructionals? RR uses russian tie in MMA, in BJJ the stand up isn't that well developed and it's banned in judo so....unless I do wrestling breakdowns which isn't what I'm going for...
I like dragon rolls myself.
And crunch rolls with lots of wasabi
Where is part two?!?!
mmm...liking this a lot. Seems like a great technique against a powerful sprawl, aye?
It's more a defensive counter move to get reversals when someone shoots on you, but as long as you can get to the legs (even from a sprawl in a scramble) anything is possible...
How do you feel about funk rolling out of the mount? Just giving a thought here
viable too if you can get that underhook on the leg but then getting down that low is the problem in the first place..
BJJSCOUT Didnt Sonnen get submitted by Maia when he rolled out from being mounted and into Maia's triangle?
Bad ass move!!!!!!
WITHOUT THE GI IT IS NOT B,J,J, IT IS SUBMISSION WRESTLING, IT IS SAME, IT LIKE SAYING JUDO AND WRESTLING IS THE SAME SPORT.
this is all I do in BJJ from bottom. It works frustrates guys ( I've had BJJ guys punch and kick me)
star sweep
deep half guard funk roll?
what this music???
Just another day taking a wrestling technique, renaming it and soon introduce it as invented by some bjj guy (insert any eddie bravo signature move). Nice job boys.
funk roll from imanari roll? Opponent sprawls to counter imanari roll, then funk roll...
