For wrestling especially, learning these things of speed and technique from your smaller teammate and strength from the bigger guys is VITAL to being a good wrestler, BJJ, or any other martial art!
I used this and the slide by video for bigger opponents at jiujitsu for the first time and they both worked. I didnt do this one sitting out which would have been better but even though I didnt do it correct, it still worked. solid move.
Trying out new moves immediately instead of reverting back to your known, safe attacks is the unspoken ingredient to massive success. Good on you brother 🏆
Been binge watching your content bro keep it up
Legend. TY 🙌🏻
Watch the head kick! Train for the street.
Awesome
That's beautiful. Does this work better with taller opponents?
Love this takedown since I saw John Smith do it. And I have done that mistake of getting my head too far in and letting the game almost kinda sprawl lol.
Do you have any advice or could you please make a follow up video on ideas of how to ideally pass the guard from the low single finish?
I often end up outside their legs as opposed to when i double leg and end up in side control...
Thanks!
John Smith the GOAT. I plan on doing more low single technique in the future, but pretty backed up content wise at the moment. Hang tight I'll get it covered eventually.
Awesome, looking forward to it!
Create rustling move I don't know how I ever missed it
Omg this technique is so handsome
Whoops... I mean cool and effective
Lolll
@@BPchadlite lol beginning to think you might have a little sugar in the tank 💁♂
Could you guys make a video on how to defend from a hand over mouth grab from behind?
When standing? Not my area of expertise, but I found these on the subject, some varying viewpoints, all have merit:

Cool I actually find myself in that position when scrambling up and trying to wrestle up and recover from a bad position as well. Some good tips on weight distribution to avoid getting subbed.
Brother 💯 Even if we don’t intend to, we will eventually end up in this position from a scramble.. one of the reasons I prioritize teaching it even though it has some inherent dangers. Great observation
@@WrestlingUniversity just as I expected I was rolling yesterday with my coach and came to this position coming up from from bottom side control and I managed to hit this technique. Thanks bro, you are officially one of my real life teachers now and not just a guy from RUclips haha.
Is there a possibility to injure their knee doing this? Looks like your pushing their knee sideways
yes low singles are notorious for blowing out knees. a traditional low single actually uses the shoulder to push forward while pulling towards you the opposite way with your hands. Ill never forget my wrestling coach demonstrating it on us one by one that shit hurt lol
You definitely are pushing their knee sideways, but in 30-years of wrestling, I've never once witnessed an injury from a low single. Do not blow past the knee and go against the joint with your shoulder. This is something I do not teach.
Are you actively trying to pull that ankle towards the other leg the entire time or only when you start to circle around?
only when you start to circle around. If they haven't fallen yet, their weight will be heavy on that leg making it damn near impossible to move the foot, but this actually works in your favor as you want that foot planted so you can apply pressure to the knee sideways toward the ground. Your main goal here is to get that knee pinned to the ground with your head as you circle around and collect the other leg. Then once you have the knee pinned and both legs collected, move your head up into their chest. Good question
@@WrestlingUniversitythat makes sense. Thank you
Kick or knee to the face is a good counter I feel like 🤔
The second the back leg gets lifted, they are going to be parallel with the ground. You'd have to see this move coming, and kick before they establish a grip. but no move really works if you seeing it coming.
Where do you teach? What state city?
Grand Rapids, MI. I teach seminars all over the country though.
Do u have a club?
At 1:13 in your video you say you don't want your head slipping past his knee because it might create scrambling opportunities; could you elaborate on that a bit? I don't want this comment to get hidden by RUclips, but if you search up the video "How Low Can You Go? John W. Smith Olympic & World Champion - Low Level Single" Smith advises at 9:20 in the video that you should put your head inside of the knee and push against it using your shoulder so that he can't sprawl, which seems like it would be harder to react against than your position at, 1:22 but it might make it harder to circle into your opponent for the finish if your shoulders are that deep in. Particularly with respect to bjj, your finish ends up in a stronger position for getting side or back control, so that might be a strength for it in general; perhaps depending on whether you were more concerned with getting takedown points or with positional control you might opt for one or the other? Or would you say more definitively you have a preference for one of the two approaches? Thanks coach.

In real match it will be very difficult to hip out and slide. Like even in the vedio of real time no hip out and slide.
Instead of thinking of it as a "hip out and slide" think of it as a "sit-out to cut the corner". I largely credit my ability to achieve variation in my low single finishes (as seen in the live clips) from practicing the "sit-out" finish. It creates mobility and "feel" in the position. Good eye with the live clips 💪
@@WrestlingUniversity thank you for replying. Can you please teach cross ankle pick from behind. I couldn't reach the far leg as they often keep it far away from my hands to reach whats should be the next move then?? Can you please help
Why for competition only
Face+knee?
@@ResonantFractal exactly. Not a great option for self defense because of knee striking potentially hard surfaces. Nor MMA because if you don't finish perfectly there's some very real potential for strikes to the head. Valid question
@@WrestlingUniversity isn't this a khabib move?
What if the guys is just put all weight on us
He can't because you're "out front" and have control of his ankle. He can't get his hips back. If he tries to sprawl the most he can accomplish is chest pressure with his hips extended and therefore the majority of his weight off you. I'll go more in depth of how to finish if they wrap over top, but for the time being work on this "doubling off" finish, running to and collecting the opposite leg 💪
🙏 "promosm"
Looks kinda dumb on the streets. If you wanna do this , you better get the whole leg from behind him
Just have to deal with that knee driving into your face 😮😮
This is why it's called a "competition takedown".
