RUclips algo sent me to you. Godsend for someone who never got to wrestle in high school (didnt have a team/coach), but I do have grappling experience.
I have finally learned how important wrestling is! Appreciate you Coach
Appreciate that bruv, keep it up and send me that footage when you get a takedown in the gym!
I've been saying for years this guy is the MOST underrated BJJ practitioner on RUclips bar none. His tip on the arm drag is THE BEST TIP I've ever learned about the arm drag. It's shocking how it is not widespread by now because it is a total game changer for successfully getting to the back from the arm drag. I just watched Danaher's instructional on the arm drag and it is deficient when you compare to the tips you get on the arm drag from this guy. I sincerely hope he gets onto BJJfanatics because I feel like he needs exposure to the greater BJJ worldwide community and deserves the recognition.
Massive appreciation for you taking the time to say that brother. My goal is to build WrestleU to the point where we are the BJJ Fanatics of wrestling. Starting with helping you master takedowns for jiu jitsu, one video at a time.
@@WrestlingUniversity I respect the can do attitude - support you 100%
What video was on the arm drag
Agreed, fantastic work
He has 1005,000 subs how is that underrated ?
Thanks!
Awesome communicator/instructor. Terrific mindset that will improve his students….folks training under instructors like this probably don’t understand how lucky they are
Appreciate you brother thank you
As a former average college wrestler but a 42 year old BJJ white belt. I try to explain these things to my fellow students but the urge to sit is too strong.
Ive been starting all my rolls this year standing so far. Gonna keep going. So far we've done tons of hand fighting drills.
But GOD I love butt scooting lol
I really liked your use of the word “wisdom”. There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom and that there got me thinking about how your stand up recommendations apply to the ground game, too.
You articulated the best way in regards to why someone Sade call guard. Great job brilliant video. Awesome contact and great instructions.
I agree with basically everything you are saying, especially when you say that the worst thing that can happen is being taken down. When you are taken down, then you have to work your escapes or get yourself into a superior position. As for pulling guard, I’ve done that to people for years, but if somebody knows what they are doing it is going to be a lot more difficult to get a submission. Pulling guard on someone who is not well trained is something I have done with success and they always give up a submission. But I really like your video and I thank you for your advice.
Great job 👏🏼
Brilliant. Thanks so much for posting this!
Loving these videos keep em coming!
Hey man, great video! I started following your channel a couple of months ago when we decided to practice wrestling with my friends. I´ve never had experience in wrestling, only in striking. But in these two months I got so much neck problems while wrestling and practicing, like never before. So to get a practical video from a pro like you on how to train and get a good neck for wrestling and a general warm-up before the session, would be amazing! Thanks in advance!
Glad you asked. Check out these exercises in the links below. You can use all exercises as a warm up or for strength and conditioning. Just slow the intensity for a warm up and increase it for strength/conditioning:

@@WrestlingUniversity thanks!
Great advice, thank you!
Great video! Thank God CJI and most videos are discouraging heavy guard pulling
Awesome video!! Thanks for the advice!! I think pulling guard is a fundamental part of jiu-jitsu, so long as it's not coming from the inability to do takedowns. This is a game after all.
You can't choke or submit people in wrestling for example, which is unrealistic, but that's not the point. It's a different game with different rules
This is INVALUABLE information. Thank you for sharing - I hope people understand how powerful these tips are. Also, nice comedic relief with the "God blessing you with an underhook" line. If only all my opponents would just give me a free standing underhook! Just all around great video and advice - thanks for always making the content digestible and for normalizing the situations/mistakes we all make every day in training.
Grateful it resonates 🙏🏻 and thank you for the kind feedback brother
Bro I watch a lot of videos but I so dig the way that you do yours. Is enjoyable to watch and engaging and very informative and straight to the point and not drawn out Plus I did that Chaka Khan sweet thing instrumental that you got playing 😅
i am a kickboxer who just started BJJ last month and this channel? pretty usefull fr fr
I like the overhook more than underhook. Uchimata all day long. Your point about keep your head above their shoulders is spot on. 2 most common mistakes I see: putting head down and shooting in without setting up/skill.
You can uchimata from the underhook too.
Most underrated wrestling instructional
The head height one surprises me. I always thought I had trouble shooting because I tend to be postured up too high and then dropping for a shot is a relatively long way to get down to a leg. The way it is explained here makes sense though. So to shoot it looks like I really do need to be more athletic - if you can recommend a video that breaks down the steps to becoming strong / athletic and technical enough to shoot I'd love to see it!
fantastic video. loved it so much
Insightful and well thought out.
Thank you so much for this Chanel I’ve improved so much I was wondering if the next video could be about back taking?
Thx for sharing great info.. I actual pull a very aggressive guard attack to submission & or sweep when opportunities present itself
Pure truth ❤
Im so glad there is a cultural pushback on pulling guard in BJJ. Is going to keep us dangerous on our feet.
However...sometimes pull guard, keep that skill too.
How often? Just fuckin sometimes bro.
No lies detected 🏆
so by sometimes... i think you really mean every time.... ;)
@@Freduccine978 ...no. sometimes is sufficient.
If you fail a throw and land on your back, you can pull guard. But just pulling guard is lazy.
@@Blei0 Brother, I know people that can put you through a wall with a guard pull. They can be very effective and very dangerous.
Takedowns are no doubt the more important skill. But, if you're not training guard pulls, you're intentionally limiting your skillset.
So I say again...sometimes pull guard
Nice!!! These are great tips. Thank you
Just started bjj a couple of weeks ago. I'm definitely going to take note and try to implement all these tips. Thank you very much.
This is good stuff, I would always pull guard in no gi but I had good technique standing and it was kind of holding me back in my passing game and top pressure. I starting keeping the mindset to never pull guard so I can translate that into competitions and I surprised myself on how good I can actually be at maintaining points by having that mindset
Fantastic video
The worst thing that can happen if you get taken down is you get injured and can’t do jujitsu. Especially if over 50 and your partner is 20.
Yeah I just tell my coach I'm not doing take downs
I am 50 and I crush these young guys
Dealing with a torn MCL from tani otoshi right now. Mostly saddened that I can't practice the way I would like to.
So much this. I'm in my thirties, and I've blown both my knees several times working on takedowns, the last one just a couple months ago. I love standing, but all this people preaching to just stay standing neglect the risks involved. With heavier and or more explosive partners, nope, I will just pull guard and work from there. I have to take care of my family and go to work the next day
@@adrianarroyo937 Agreed. It’s not that important.
I'm 4'11. I'm always below everyone's shoulder line 😂
have you tried removing the platform from platform shoes and glue them to the bottom of wrestling shoes
@@Fatelvis2 Jiu-jitsu is done barefoot 🤷♀️
@@Wayniesgirl I wear wrestling shoes because a virus has attach itself to my foot so they give me a pass on going barefoot
Coach Adam, thank you SO much for these videos. You have a real knack for laying out detailed information in a concise way that's easy to digest. I will DEFINITELY be plugging these in over the next couple of days. Yer awesome, Sir!
PS: Do you think we might be able to clone Big Jake? I think EVERYONE wants a copy. Ha ha! 🤩😆
You're very welcome! Lol we actually just recorded an hr long sit down convo with big Jake, different kind of content than we usually produce… think we should release it?
@@WrestlingUniversity Posthaste!!! LOL!
First four tips were amazing could have picked a better number one.
There are worse things than simply being taken down to the mat. You could have your head spiked into the mat. You could have your knee blown out by a double leg shot. There are many bad things that can happen if you decide to not pull guard. Pulling guard is definitely safer against unpredictable opponents. But point taken.
@3:29 the biggest thing is it depends on what you do with that back up because I didn’t lock up when I wrestled or anything. I always moved into them when they raise their arm up. I was on their legs. I was turning the corner and I had my take down.
Hey Coach! Great video. Could you do a video on how to properly absorb impact from mat returns and throws? Would be highly beneficial I feel. Appreciate you!
I want to be the guy on the left when I grow up, and I'm 32 with 2 kids.
Such great energy
Don't pull guard was surprise😁
it really shouldn't be
Like the tips! Only thing I disagree with, is that if you're training BJJ and you're already half way into a match with stagnation in standing, i would pull guard just to get things going and be able to practice. I don't see it as a self defence technique, but more of a "let's get this match started now in an interesting way". That being said, I would NEVER just sit to guard (unless I'm going against a totally new person who has no takedown safety or skills yet).
Don’t pull guard earned an immediate follow!
Why is my guy on the left laughing the whole time lol
In regards to #3 when people back away, what would be your advise to engaging them?
Any advice on the 'don't put head below shoulder line' for those of us who are short? I'm 4'11'' so it's tricky not to do this against almost everybody! Are there other ways to prevent the types of attack you describe?
Auto like when he said not to pull guard.
The final boss is back!!!!!!
Big Jake on the mat 🫰🏻
Great Clip. you have abo more.
Boy, I wish I had sen his video before yesterday's competition.
Regarding keeping your head above the opponets shoulder line, doesn't that mean shooting for your opponents legs means there's a risk to get caught in a guillotine?
The worst thing that can happen is you break something.
Gravity, explosive activity and falling weight- easier to get injured. Learn good falls.
Sounds like jiu jitsu shouldn't be your thing
Came here to learn how to do, ended up learning how to learn.
I just started watching and I bet I'm doing at least 3, let's see.
When I try clicking on the link it says the website is expired or something? The first of the three videos worked but the last two aren't playing for me. Is there an issue with the WU website?
Never pull guard! Best advice
big lez from the big lez show is that u
Do more screw lock stuff via overhook lock
what about your opponent is much taller than you? do you still need to place your head at your opponents shoulder line?
I think an opponent that pulls guard can be taking you by surprise and also gives the message : i don't care that you are on top of me on the ground because I am so confident and talented that i'm going to submit you anyway. Ive been rolling with guys that would not let me get out of their guard and would make me a double arm bar... so I totally disagree with this advice
Plus what's best than à flying triangle or arm bar ???
As much as i dont like people pulling guard in competition, it very well can be a path to victory in this sport. So telling people not to do it is kind of nutty. I mean heck cji theres many people who pulled guard and got in on leglocks so quickly.
Hey coach,
Whats the ideal split for fighting and lifting? I can excersize 6 times a week. Should I do 3 days of fighting, 3 days gym, 4 days fighting, 2 days of gym, or...? Also would Push Pull Leg be better or Upper Lower for fighters who can lift 3-4 timss per week?
Thank you
🔥
I completely agree with the first few tips but the last one is nonsense.
My ancestral vibe tells me that training bjj barefoot in shorts or a kimono won't save my life😅😅😅
Pulling guard has its uses, you just need to be adept at dealing with the self-loathing and social rejection that accompanies it.
I too see you are a man of culture.
Oh, I want to say this I made a joke one time this is why Jujitsu guys always go to their knees and I’m like well one day. Some guy went into like teach Jujitsu class. It was all midgets you know that’s the big thing you don’t start on your knees, so that is so good and so true.
people avoiding contact are so wack... like we're in a sparing in grappling tf
half the comments gonna take rule #1 personally 🤣
Excellent tips. I intend to work on them. Except for the guard pulling. I completely disagree. 10th planet is one of the strongest teams in the sport of jiu jitsu. You're doing a sport. Being stronger at takedowns means you have full control on where the fight is. Completely removing guard pulling from your arsenal altogether removes a whole variety of attack strategies your opponent does not need to be concerned about.
Thought it was a good video until his last bit of advice.
I got shmixed
4:35 fuck yea
Completely disagree with the pull guard statement. It absolutely has a time and a place. For one it's important to have the skill of being able to off balance someone and find top position after being put on your ass.
And what about Gordon's run in ADCC 2022? One of the reasons why he was able to pull it off is due to his high efficiency for energy expenditure from settling for bottom position.
Or Lachlan Giles's run as a bronze medallist in 2019. Pulling guard made the discrepancy in strength with his opponents irrelevant, making it a game of pure technicality. Now he's known as one of the most successful jiu-jitsu athletes from Australia.
Overall I think the objective should be competent in all positions, standing and seated included, and you cannot become so without putting yourself in that position.
However, I suppose one of the reasons for saying such a controversial statement is to bait people like me to leave comments and start discussions like this 🤣
I dont think he mean it to click bait at all, the thing is you will never get better at take downs and standing hand fight if you just pull guard as soon as you can. And for pure jiujitsu rules maybe its ok, but if practice jj for self defense or to improve in other sports like MMA its better to get better at take downs and to to stay on top
@@Phoenixf66 very good points there, I don't disagree with you at all. It reminds me of Giancarlo Bodoni's advice in training to always have at least one round where you start standing, rather than just pulling guard straight away.
Something is missing from jiu jitsu. We don’t have a method of incorporating takedowns that is completely safe from injury; we have wrestlers in our ranks who are really good at takedowns, and everyone else (who can’t safely bridge the skill gap) sees a safe path in pulling guard.
I don’t like pulling guard. It’s a deeply flawed tactic. At the same time, a gym owner has a serious dilemma on his hands unless he wants to make cripples of his fifty-something-year-old white belts. Until that method is developed, teaching the stand up game is very bad for business.
🤙
Im lazy and dont want to hurt peoples knees soo ill pull guard XD
Pull guard
Right. "Be willing to be taken down" doesn't work in competition, when you lose points. And everything he says against pulling guard, e.g., "the worse that happens is you go to the ground and do juijitsu"... well... yeah... that equally applies to pulling guard. You just get the match started faster.
Titles get more clicks when they speak on absolutes. Context and nuance gets ignored however. Some good advice in this… but “never” is silly… as there can be an argument for doing several of these things…. Yes, including pulling guard.
New book titled "Myths and blind spots in the fighting arts world. After the Bible it's the next book for you!"
speaks about how jj has lost the martial mentality.
Error correction is the lowest form of teaching, you can do bad moves if it's for the purpose of baiting.
Pulling guard is basically coming out at this point.
Hahahahhaha 🤌🏻
Just cross-train judo. problem solved.
I have to say wrestling in bjj is just terrible. How they execute how they teach just horrendous.
Whilst the information is good. The issue here is the idea of a human being performing a negative (it’s impossible to do.)
As humans, we can’t positively, not do something.
It’s akin to saying to someone, “don’t walk into a lamppost.”
When as an instruction, the phrase “walk in the space” would be a better model.
(Once again, it’s impossible to positively perform a ‘not’ or ‘dont’
So if he's big enough to put your head naturally below his shoulder line...avoid the fight, you will LOSE!
I'm a short guy learning this the hard way...
@@zzwk24 It was a joke
Don't ever pull guard is terrible advice.
Cool, bur Jiu-Jitsu isn't wrestling. In facts it's anti wrestling. In fighting, pins don't win, submissions do.
