I’m of the opinion that few men in human history have acquired the wrestling knowledge that Jon Smith has. Especially when you combine his knowledge of both folk and freestyle.
I gotta be honest... I am wayyyy to old to be doing wrestling, BUT.... This spiral ride breakdown is PERFECT for BRAZILAN JIU-JUTSU as an alternative to acquiring rear mount position. If BJJ is going to evolve, then it has to start implementing wrestling moves into its arsenal. Thx Coach John Smith.
@iarebedoingshopping6863 I use to wrestle. Wayyyyy before you were born. I love the submission aspects of BJJ, but....my heart is with wrestling. Wrestling is dominant in top pressure, and I love the aggressive takedowns. Most people who take BJJ do not know wrestling, which is why I think wrestlers have a huge advantage. I think Bo Nickals is going to be champion of his UFC weight division because he is so dominant in wrestling.
I'm a purple belt from Brazil and i can say that we are definitely looking into wrestling as a form to upgrade jiu-jitsu. I say it with certainty that in the next 10 years we're going to see a huge grow in wrestling in BJJ, some people even say that we are right now at the birth of "submision grappling" wich combines both worlds. I use some wrestling moves myself and i'm seeing a huge growth in my game: half nelson, inside single leg, spiral ride, grandy roll, ankle picks, are a staple to me now. The problem here in Brazil is that wrestling is not common knowledge, it is very hard to find good teachers here.
John smith is such a good coach cause his techniques are so perfect for body mechanics and it you don’t have to be so strong to do them. It’s all technique
