- The Russian is a common control position with numerous offensive systems. Here I show how to escape the Russian back to an advantageous underhook position where we can run our own offense
good stuff. I've been binge watching your videos and they all connect together like a puzzle.
Yes, it is a system. You’re starting to see the matrix, lol
Positioning for sure is key. So important.
Good stuff! The best part of a Russian 2-on-1 is that no one seems to know how to defend it. As someone who does a lot of stuff off of a Russian, this should work really well.
They most often post on the head and then I do what I show in #22

Sounds like someone was able to afford a microphone thanks to that sweet sweet Danaher video ad rev 🤣
I think I learned this defense from a Cary Kolat video and it works so well,especially in BJJ since people never keep good head position off the russian, they usually pull their head away. I used to do the hand post because it's all I had ever seen anyone do, but now that I do this even against a bigger stronger guy I'm not afraid anymore. In fact, I don't even mind people taking it because I know I can get the undertook and inside head position back easily and now I own the guy.
Lol! No money from this channel yet. We need 4,000hrs and are not even halfway there. That was out of my own pocket. I am happy with the microphone, except that there’s a few place (subsequent videos I recorded but haven’t edited) where it glitched. Overall, it’s pretty great! It’s definitely very empowering when you learn that there’s an answer from every position. You can go to offense and defense with authority.
@@josephbreza-grappling9459 I didn't even notice how much better it is, but wow, what an improvement! Money well-spent. Your early videos were quite "boomy," and it can make it hard to hear all those pearls of wisdom. ;)
Yeah after getting it, I was like “damn I kinda want to do them over.” Lol
My goodness this is GOLD!!! Thank you so much!!!
Great stuff! I love how you keep tying it into the underhook series from #6. That position does seem like gold.
It certainly is. This is my coach, Andy Seras in the 1988 Olympic Greco trials. He went on to represent the USA in the Olympics that year. Notice how he practices what he preaches. Always working for the underhook. Because that position is gold. Next I’ll show you how to get out of it!

@@josephbreza-grappling9459 especially if you have that inside leg position. Thanks for the link to his video, I'll check it out!
@@corrugatedcavalier5266 his 1984 Olympic trials with Martinez were unbelievable! He ended up taking second that year and so he was the Olympic alternate. He was still in college at that time. Went on to be a 4x collegiate All American, NCAA champion, then in Greco-Pan Am games champion, world champion, and olympian
Love your videos! Thank you for making them
Thank you for your support
This was great! What is your favorite moves when you have a underhook coach? Also what is your favorite way of getting to a bodylock?
I actually will be showing entries to the bodylock soon. I like to do it off the underhook, because people always try to get tough when you have positional advantage with the underhook and inside thigh position-they just make it worse when they try to get tough, because they stand up straight and hand it to me. I have some simple ways I am going to show how to get to the underhook with Greco. Works well in BJk, because people stand upright.
I also loved to shoot the high crotch off the underhook. I will show that in another video. It’s extremely effective and different than what people are used to seeing
Hey Joe! Have you seen Brandon Reed's Dominate the Hand Fight instructional? Thinking about getting it. I have Steve Mocco's, and I found that to be helpful. Not sure how much they overlap.
I want to master the basics! Appreciate you always getting me on the right track for wrestling for BJJ.
I haven’t watched his instructional, but I don’t have to-I already know it’s legit. He is a great wrestler. He is incredibly successful in competition and he is using a very fundamental system to do it.
I have seen enough of him showing technique to know he is a great instructor and has a nice fundamentals that are not going to get you into trouble. You have to be aware of that. There’s so many people who show wrestling moves that they wouldn’t use themselves or couldn’t pull off even if they tried (against anyone legit). As far as I am concerned, that’s ridiculous.
Reed is definitely legit. I definitely think you would benefit from his instruction
@@josephbreza-grappling9459 Thanks a lot, Joe!
Any time brother!
@@josephbreza-grappling9459 You're the best! Once you release an instructional, I'm definitely going to be buying it. I hope you go super big.
@@Mattchew2232 thanks for your support! I am thinking about it. It’s finding the time for it. I am a research/teaching professor and it’s a lot of work. This is fun for me. I definitely don’t want for it to be a job or else it will lose its luster. But I think it would/could be useful at some point. I am looking into the youtube membership option, so I can give members some my time for video chats to answer questions and talk grappling
Thanks, this is super helpful!
I had a question about the sagging headlock. I've been trying to add it in, but I find that I'm not getting the right angle, and I'm still getting taken down. I think the problem is that they are getting their hips too far in, so I'm not breaking the posture properly. What are you thinking about in terms of hip separation and weight distribution during the move? Should I whizzer and circle away from them to create more space before attempting the move? In your video you mentioned it works after they start to turn the corner, but I feel like they are getting to a point of no return of being too far behind me.
Get mean with it and make sure you’ve got that far elbow. For me, it works best when their head is low. Controlling that far arm, pulling it across my body as I sag my hips. If you’re tall, use Uchi mata with the overhook
Also, keep the pressure on that whizzer. It’s the only thing that’s keeping them from getting behind you
Any tips for taller guy to wining head position against smaller guys?
Use your legs
