One of the most complete single leg tutorials ever 🙏🥋

Patrick, can't say how very thankful I am to have discovered your videos where everything is put together. Not having trained formally, my knowledge has been picked up in scattered bits and pieces. Thanks to you, it'll be much easier to put them all together. And an additional thank you for always factoring in self-defence scenarios. Too often we forget that an opponent on the street might not be playing fair, and several grappling positions can leave us easily vulnerable to a knee or fist to the nuts

I've really enjoyed practising the techniques shown in the double leg takedown video and I can see this video is going to keep me busy for many happy hours to come. Many thanks!

[Agbahizzal]

3:50 are you wearing a cup or are you just happy to see me?

With the fast clamping of the thighs or a more typical high crotch grip the groin kick is not such a big danger. But good videos and positional collections for Kung fu and Karate styles, with their own deep stances as approach to wrestling and MMA like sparring.
