Hey dude! I’m a director and cinematographer and just want to say your edits are awesome 👏🏼 love the color, exposure and lighting and audio. Well done!
@@willbrooksofficialYes it’s very good. Personal preference I would just use a shotgun on the camera so you don’t have the mic on your rash guard but it’s all good. Your space looks so sick! Your use of transitions and light leaks is a nice touch 🔥
@@marcusmezzano thanks! I appreciate the mic tip. I used to use a shotgun mic, but wanted to try this version. I think you’re right. The shotgun mic does sound better. I’ve been thinking about going back to that and this was the push I needed. I have a few more that are already recorded so you’ll see this mic disappear after that. Much appreciated!
I just had my first competition this last weekend and won. My go-to take down was the ankle pick. Effortless, easy, effective. I highly recommended learning it and putting reps in.
Hello it's me Daniel I already learned the takedown but I am really focused on the BJJ transitions and thank you for train me about takedown but which video did you post about BJJ transitions
The slow-motion clips are a game changer. What a brilliant idea. So many details are missed when people show the moves at real speed or even when they drill them. If you could show more of these that would be awesome. You got yourself a new subscriber! Cheers!
I’m happy to help! I’m glad you’re enjoying the slow motion footage. Yeah, I agree, it really helps to showcase all the details. I definitely have more on the way! Thanks for the support!
I've watched two videos on how to start from standing position from you since i have an upcoming competition (im 14 competing for frabricio my bjj team) on july and soarring always starts at sitting position. Your videos are helping and keep it up, man. Im greatful for you posting these tutorials.
High crotch is called fireman’s sweep at my gym. Just because the initial pass almost looks like you’re going to put them into a fireman’s carry position. Matt Hughes style
Im a new subscriber and working my way back through your incredible content. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with everyone brother. I'm coming up to my 1 year anniversary and as you say I have fallen in love with the art, changed my life hugely for the better, I just wish I had started sooner!
I've been watching my son for almost a year and decided to put on the gi last month at the tender age of 53. I have a wrestling background from HS, but never even realized that stand up and takedowns were a thing in jiu jitsu until just a week ago when we started rolling from the stand up position. In fact, I used to tell my son that I can't show him wrestling takedowns because they aren't legal in jiu jitsu. This is the problem with the "drop to the floor" method that is so common in jiu jitsu today. Even though my body is not at agile and strong as it was years ago, I feel more confident starting from the stand up.
Great instruction. my coach at the gym I go to sucks so I am glad you can share for guys that dont have wrestling background. I am excited to try these this week when I roll.
something a brown belt taught me at my gym was a foot sweep from a body lock, getting to the body lock by arm drag or any other way possible, and just kind of throwing them one direction and sweeping the foot in that direction, pretty low risk for me and decent success rate, little more challenging against wrestlers
I prefer the Russian Arm Drag, with shoulder slam so the individual has a chance to if not going for a projection throw. To mount my shoulder, for a passive shoulder throw so I can relax. This allows for a break-fall with a possible chicken wing armlock. if I then go to the ground. I am looking for how jujitsu differs from wrestling.
Thanks! Luckily, I didn’t have to cut ties. I have a great relationship with that gym and still train there from time to time. Before I launched my school, I spoke with the owners/my coach to get their blessing before I went off on my own. They happily gave it to me. That gym will always be apart of my journey and I have nothing but love for it and all the people there.
How do you protect the knees when dropping? So as to not just drop all ypur weight on your knee? Or is this a matter of speed, or can you bend without having the knee touch the ground?
Thanks. Try not to leave your head on the outside. Also, good posture while help. If you lead with you head, expect to get put in a choke. Those tips always help me.
For anyone in the same boat-If you liked it the first time, it will come back. I just had my first class YESTERDAY since Nov 2022 and had a movie playing in my head of how and why I shouldn't/couldn't/wouldn't enjoy it and I was wrong. I was smiling and jacked up, playing STP on the way home! I'm 55 and coming off a 10 month old meniscus injury so I'm a bit cautious. Since you posted this, have you gone back?

@@paulinekatongole2250 I just posted a video about drilling that covers some transitions. It’s my most recent video so it’ll be easy to find.

+1 on the slow motion footage being helpful
Thanx for sharing. These are almost exactly the takedowns we work on in my academy. And we call what you named high crotch duck under to double.
Happy to help. Ok thanks for that other name 🤙🏼

Much appreciated! More on the way 🤙🏼
Its so cool that you have your own gym now, do you still train at the old one? Or did you have to cut ties?

I teach it as fireman's carry to dlt
Love the fireman’s carry

@@johncena95404 yea it’s just a matter of practicing enough until you get the technique down
How are your so good l want to be a BJJ pro just like you so that l choke my opponents
great video
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it 🤝
Hey man great vid. Quick question, how can you preventiva guillotines when doing a snatch single leg or a double leg takedown?
Thanks. Try not to leave your head on the outside. Also, good posture while help. If you lead with you head, expect to get put in a choke. Those tips always help me.
Does this work for gi comp too?
@@centristmiguel8581 these can work in Gi but I think there are a couple great options available in Gi. I could make a video on that
this is favorite account right here
Much appreciated, my man
I want to learn BJJ leg chokes
@@paulinekatongole2250 leg locks are game changers in my opinion
But l want to be experienced just like you and learn BJJ transitions and BJJ choke
@@paulinekatongole2250 have to keep training. Nothing can replace years of training and experience. Keep training and you’ll get all of that.
Is the snatch single straight down or a shot with penetration step like a regular single
Most takedowns from wrestling can be used in jiu jitsu. Just have to be careful of shooting into a choke.
Any advice to get back into jiu jitsu I lost motivation working to much any advice is much appreciated
Absolutely bro. I actually did a video on that. Just tap my video section and look for it. I think you’ll find it helpful
