Anyone who dumps Jon Jones & Alex Gustafson like that deserves a lot of respect, not sure why anyone misspoke About his toughness

If your opponent leg is too far just circling would bring him down. People bring their leg closer, so that they can maintain balance. So when they do that, then you trip them.

[husseinsalama]

single leg take down with the trip is my favorite

I never commented in any vídeo from youtube. But this vídeo was so much helpful to me that i must say thank you very much! Been years that I’ve been searching for a concise and inteligent way to finish single legs in a fight. You are awesome.

He did a variation of lifting a thigh and then tripping the balancing leg in Derrick Lewis fight that was preaty cool stuff and how he followed up a unsuccesfull choke attempt to a take down by walking backwards while in choking position making Derrick walk forward then he moved forward got closed to derricks leg and imidietly went for the leg to grab it after he released the head to go for a leg lift off to unballance Lewis and move forward to drive him to the ground. Really smart and on the spot thinking and practise.

Love the Video, liked and subscribed, Ive only just started grappling, Im a very big guy and Im finding single legs way way easier to do then double legs Thank you so much

Cormier is a wonderful wrestler, usually when a fighter goes to the single leg, the other defend and if it last more than 2 3 seconds, the defender will escape, but Cormier, when he catches your leg it can last 15 seconds (like in the Volkan fight) but you're sure you're gonna fall

[aznmickster]

I love the head and arm throw! But if they stand with 1 leg forward, I would go for a low uchi mata (which is uchimata, but I target below the calf instead of the inner thigh)

[jayduncan]

amazing commentary, visuals, editing, and displays of the technique both in competition and training :] thanks

[jjj]

great video thanks. just trained this at wrestling and i like your commentary

[Demoscut]

A video that makes everything clear, thank you

[seandavidr]

My old wrestling coach showed one. He called it the proposal or the statue of liberty i think. I haven't seen anyone else do it. You lift the leg high with one hand and you drop to your knee with the leg closest to your opponent, and they just fall over. I like that it doesn't use much energy and you end in side control.

Its hard to wrap my mind around mma wrestling and tournament wrestling.

Folkstyle wrestling "single leg" is when your heads on the inside of their body.
However when you have one leg and head on the outside its considered a high crotch in folkstyle.

Is it dangerous to put your head on the inside when going for a single in mma? Thanks.

[timmccallum]

Head outside single is defended in many ways. I didnt see any wizzers for defense. Or trying to lock the body up for a reversal or atleast lock up the legs sometimes called crack back or crab position

[Teleios]

Who’s a better wrestler? DC or Khabib? Not talking about who would win necessarily as there’s a weight difference

[memeking]

Me (who will never need to use this information ever): INTERESTING

[christophh]

Excellent video, could you do the same about Ben Askren?

[brocklesnarthebeastisback]

Can send to me how l can used liver shut plz

[wrestler-kickboxer]

GREAT VIDEO!!
CRUCIAL QUESTION:
If you want to train for MMA and want to have Wrestling as your strongest background/fighting style. Should you just go to an MMA gym and train striking, bjj AND WRESTLING AT THE SAME TIME (whilst prioritising your wrestling training) or should you only train in NOTHING BUT TOURNAMENT WRESTLING FIRST for some time before transitioning to MMA? I really wanna know which method is best.

[zero-z]

good video, can you give me more info about your MMA Essential Lessons, whats the level of the lessons etc? because i bought few matts and i train grappling with my cousin by watching videos, but i need something more organazied.
thank you.
