Jack Bauer I second this technique request! There's so many applications of Judo that we're starting to see in MMA now. It started with Karo proving that you can easily do Judo throws without a GI and in an MMA setting and Ronda having a fully integrated the Judo game into MMA. Not just simple throwing but complete strategies and setups revolving around a Judo game.
you just reminded me how important clinch work is and how easily you can end up in this position. thanks again Firas for showing another amazing thing to work on. definitely gonna work on the single takedown from clinch
1 vote for keeping the channel diverse. so refreshing to see this level of clarity in areas other than jiu jitsu. You're bringing the scientific learning method of jiu jitsu to all the martial arts. keep going!
i never comment on videos, even ones i like; but every time i see one of your videos it's always the most solid and successfully applicable technique i come across and it's always a really useful problem solver from a common position. i just wanted to give you props for the outstanding instruction and choice of what to show. bravo Firas and tristar, keep up the great work
This is awesome, going to try it later. Personally I would like to see a few drills for ground and pound and how to be in good position while you posture up and aren't using your hands to hold him down. From any position really.
Got a sweet take down using this last night at training, its very smooth and feels natural - im not straining myself to take someone down. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Love the details of the arm pit catching the wrist as you change your level with your weigh. That for sure will loosen one side of the clinch battle. Thank you
Awesome work Firas. I have been watching your videos, and really enjoy the details you provide and the theory behind it. Hearing the concepts behind why the techniques work, reinforces the details very well for me and I'm sure many other viewers. You are a great teacher, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing! Great video and great advice. I'm teaching a tae kwon do class But want to expose my students to clinching and this was the drill I was looking for.
Hey Firas. I was wondering how Rory was feeling after the fight. It was one of those fights where you were sad to see either guy lose. Definitely one of the greatest fights in UFC history.
Now, I'm definitely no tough guy street fighter, but I have been in a few and every time my knee touched the pavement it messed up my knees a bit after the fight. Not saying I wouldn't this to save my life, but it's something to consider.
Firas, Your videos are great. Do you think that you could please post some videos on various choke techniques? I would be interested in seeing a video explaining the standing choke technique that Jon Jones used on Lyoto Machita.
thanks for posting that video....you have explained the move very well using this technology....this is a great resource..... will you do more wrestling vids?
Hi Firas you you are the man. Thanks for more great content. I love them all but your wrestling tutorials are the best! What do you think of doing this in alternating combination with sasae tsurikomi ashi? (Drawing ankle prop throw for non Judoka I guess)
Used this all the time when I wrestled just naturally developed it due to like you mentioned early in the video getting sprawled out by my regular training partner. Thanks for the upload. Do you stress having your opponent pushing against you before you attempt this?
Firas, I'm a huge fan of all your vids, thank you immensely. For this particular video, I would be concerned for my knees in a self defense situation (landing so hard on concrete etc) is there a variation with less downward impact, or, am I misunderstanding how hard the landing is?
ShinkaTV If I was on a very unforgiving surface I would not jump down to my knees I would just simply level change by dropping into a squat. thanks for liking!
Merci beaucoup pour tes video Firas, c'est extremement utile :-) j'ai une petite question, est ce qu'il y a une variation de cette technique pour le street fight, parce que c'est risqué de tomber avec les genoux sur le béton. Encore merci , keep up the good work boss, and congrats for the rory fight, that was awesome, a true warrior and future champion for sure, cheers from Tunisia :-)
Awesome video as always! In your opinion what is better/more effective for mma judo based takedowns or the traditional wrestling 'shoot' single/double leg ect?
Could this be an alternative penetration method for entering into a sweep single leg takedown? The traditional one entails banging the knee outside the nearest foot of the counter wrestler coupled with pivoting with the same knee into a perpendicular angle to the opponent. Almost at the same time, one must be grabbing the leg of the rival with both arms tightly with one's back straight and side of our head pressed to his hip. Then from there one must drive into the other wrestler in a motion that enables to lift the opponent's leg with ease. I think this might work just the same and in an easier manner, especially with tie-ups. I don't know if it could work on a hands free, no contact situation.
Hello Firas. Does this takedown works if opponent grabs the shoulder from underhook? Holding the shoulder not the body grants much more control and many fighters prefer to hold shoulder from underhook.
Tristar Gym Do you think Dominick Cruz's style would work for a bigger weight, 155 and above or does his style work because the little guys have gas in the tank constantly? Also, I know everyone is asking for technique on different things, but it's greatly appreciated how you break things down. You don't just make it a brawl, you turn into a chess match and his lit a new fire of wanting to learn more under me. Thank you for giving us this, I can't imagine a greg jackson or any other elite gym showing these techniques. This is mginaction but for jiu jitsu/mma/street.
Dear coach,we dont recommend both knees on the ground.He can push you and you will risk falling on your back since you have weak support.The way we teach it is keeping the left leg(trail leg) up and the right knee on ground.This left leg will help you to have firm support,firm post.In this way you can get up fast and resist his force if he pushes you forward.The rest was great.Thanks for all your videos.God bless.
Hey coach i just want know that is one inch punch the Bruce lee one really a knokout punch in MMA too or it only working in movies, second i am too stiff my coach says that stretching yourself because the more your kick cover the distance the most it become powerful it is physics, can a kick can be powerful without stretching ??? Husain Jan Turi
Tristar Gym Great as always, was wondering if you could do a video on the double leg used by GSP and by you at 0:58 of this clip where you don't just blast through but kinda trip his leg too. It looks more effective and I would like to learn it!
Yo firas I have a hard time in the jiujitsu practice lately even white belts giving me a hard time and i get submitted a lot it seems like nothing works for me anymore in the last 4-5 sessions of rolling How can I improve? because it's feels like I'm going backwards
***** the problem can stem from a lot of different issues. send me a video of you rolling and I will have a look see. send the link to tristargymcanada@gmail.com and they will forward it to me.
You mma guys got this whole grappling thing wrong. Wrestlers dont pummel in a real fight. They get their hooks and try to trip/throw IMMEDIATELY. There aren't any takedowns in mma that a seasoned wrestler hasn't already seen/defended successfully.

I almost feel like I'm part of the Tristar Gym. Thanks for these videos Firas!
You are my friend ; )
Holy shit Firas Zahabi just called me his friend! ahaha this is so cool! If only I can go to Canada and train there.
Beautiful. I'm glad to learn something for the over-under clinch, and this is such an elegant solution to that problem.
Best coach in the world! Keep them coming. Thanks
Great vid, love the way that you break technique down with the slow-mo/pause/sketch overlay!
Awesome video. This is the best technique channel on youtube. I was wondering if u can do a video on judo throws from the clinch?
Jack Bauer definitely
Tristar Gym thank you! Keep it up Firas:)

I would give a lot for such an intelligent instructor. Thank you for your videos.
Seems complicated, but when you drill this enough, this is a really good stuff!
Yup
Wow.. what a great technique, thank you so much Firas.
I like this technique. Good breakdown, you make it easy to follow. And u make it look easy.
Everything you show is huge for us!RESPECT from Arad,Romania :)
This is awesome, going to try it later. Personally I would like to see a few drills for ground and pound and how to be in good position while you posture up and aren't using your hands to hold him down. From any position really.

Awesome technique! Thanks so much for sharing!
I always see you views and it helps a lot when I use your techniques that you teach use from your video Thank you
Thanks coach I’m gonna try that in my Bjj class next week
Another amazing video! Thank you
Thanks for sharing! Great video and great advice. I'm teaching a tae kwon do class But want to expose my students to clinching and this was the drill I was looking for.
Thanks coach, gonna practice this ASAP plz keep em coming
Thanks Firas. Love the technique and your breakdown.
Thank you Firas. Fantastic channell.
Love the videos, so glad I found this channel
great video. i needed more easy to understand wrestling for MMA type stuff. Also "running the pipe" is the term i think we used here in NC.
a video on foot locks would be awesome!
Hey Firas. I was wondering how Rory was feeling after the fight. It was one of those fights where you were sad to see either guy lose. Definitely one of the greatest fights in UFC history.
He's doing great will be back soon
More! Love your stuff! This page is incredible!
Thanks for answering my question and for this video it is great help
Another great video Firas Tristar Gym
Awesome stuff as always, thanks Firas!
Great video man.
Now, I'm definitely no tough guy street fighter, but I have been in a few and every time my knee touched the pavement it messed up my knees a bit after the fight. Not saying I wouldn't this to save my life, but it's something to consider.
Love your videos man..hope you keep it up!
That was awesome! Great move!!
Firas,
Your videos are great. Do you think that you could please post some videos on various choke techniques? I would be interested in seeing a video explaining the standing choke technique that Jon Jones used on Lyoto Machita.
Awesome stuff as always Firas! My dream is to one day being able to train at Tristar :) I'm just an amateur now but I'll keep grinding.
Can you do an analysis of the Rory vs Lawler fight?
Great vid.
Thanks for the breakdown
Great video, thanks!
thanks for posting that video....you have explained the move very well using this technology....this is a great resource..... will you do more wrestling vids?
donnygiven thanks yes will show you guys plenty of BJJ and WRESTLING
Tristar Gym brilliant..... looking forward
Great technique!
Hi Firas you you are the man. Thanks for more great content. I love them all but your wrestling tutorials are the best! What do you think of doing this in alternating combination with sasae tsurikomi ashi? (Drawing ankle prop throw for non Judoka I guess)
Thank u! And yes I used that all the time great suggestion!!
This looks like it would pair well with the lateral drop throw, with the defense for one setting up the other.
Used this all the time when I wrestled just naturally developed it due to like you mentioned early in the video getting sprawled out by my regular training partner.
Thanks for the upload.
Do you stress having your opponent pushing against you before you attempt this?
That Irish Joe Duffy (pale lad) in the corner from 4:27 onwards?
ykw lol yes that would be him.
more striking foot work please :)))
Firas, I'm a huge fan of all your vids, thank you immensely. For this particular video, I would be concerned for my knees in a self defense situation (landing so hard on concrete etc) is there a variation with less downward impact, or, am I misunderstanding how hard the landing is?

Love it. More.
Takedown defence on the fence? its vastly improved in the past few years in mma can you break it down?
Thank you 🙏

***** dans las rue base to mais pas autant. : )
Awsome video
Awesome video as always! In your opinion what is better/more effective for mma judo based takedowns or the traditional wrestling 'shoot' single/double leg ect?
Nick Lawrence Both are great and I like to use what works from both styles.
Thanks for the reply! Would be great to see a video about judo trips in the future! I remember gsp had some beautiful trips and throws.
Wrestling
thanx firaz
Mad respect
thanks for the awesome videos! could this be a reliable takedown for an altercation out on the street?
ya sabes yes definitely!!. I would definitely use this!
Genius

Hello Firas. Does this takedown works if opponent grabs the shoulder from underhook? Holding the shoulder not the body grants much more control and many fighters prefer to hold shoulder from underhook.
awesome, iirc isnt this takedown is the one that dom cruz had so much success with?
nadhilgoguma Cruz hit the knee tap often. I do it in the highlights of the video but that is not the move being broken down.
Tristar Gym Do you think Dominick Cruz's style would work for a bigger weight, 155 and above or does his style work because the little guys have gas in the tank constantly?

Firas, what shin guards do you have on here? What would you recommend?
MoreSwole I bought this in Japan 8 years ago, best shin pads ever don't know who sell them however.
+JH C you may be in the wrong sport
True. I'm learning the hard way.

Yo firas I have a hard time in the jiujitsu practice lately even white belts giving me a hard time and i get submitted a lot it seems like nothing works for me anymore in the last 4-5 sessions of rolling
How can I improve? because it's feels like I'm going backwards

Tristar Gym tnx i wiil film next week

Greco slide by
You mma guys got this whole grappling thing wrong. Wrestlers dont pummel in a real fight. They get their hooks and try to trip/throw IMMEDIATELY. There aren't any takedowns in mma that a seasoned wrestler hasn't already seen/defended successfully.
3 laws to take down defense. Head, hands, hips. All you're lazy partner had to do was keep good head position, downblock, and sprawl. Do it LIVE.
This is the weakest part of my wrestling game.
Great video ! Could you please cover the Tristar special : knee tap to running the pipe from the clinch ? Would be much appreciated !
