I’m strictly a jiujitsu guy and have always sucked at wrestling but your explanations are so good and the technique so superb I believe I can implement this into my game. Amazing! Thanks.
Wow, a real game changer. Traditional Sprawl counter won't work as effectively anymore. Great wrestling technique, awesome details. Thanks for sharing!
single leg is my favorite technique in grappling, i do it from everywhere , from standing from guard from bottom, this video very helpful to me thank you
jepp. I’m a wrestler and this is how i was thought back in mid 80’s (44 years old now). Either you can shoot all the way in (difficult) or you get to this grip and start to work from it. Great stuff and your style suits me 100% since I’m trying the jiu jitsu way but with a wrestling background. I’m in Sweden and it’s not likely I’ll ever get to your gym but i’m liking it so much I’ll get the t-shirt and support your effort. Keep up the good work!
As a skinny dude, my most favorite single leg is to pivot to the side if them while having the single and hooking the leg I have with my leg and transitioning to a double. It's the only single leg thats worked for me. I'll try this out tho.
Amazing video coach! Would love if you could make the ultimate guide for the sweep single since this video would complement it nicely. As a beginner grappler, with no previous wrestling experience, it would help my stand up game immensely! Oss
You're choking the snake! That's the way my high school coach showed a single leg, and it never even crossed my mind to lock my hands with a gable grip until my college coach showed his variation of a single leg, but he does it slightly different. He does a single leg with a gable grip, but you stagger your legs real far so you can get a ton of shoulder pressure on the side you hit the single leg. This does two things. First, you're able to put an absolute TON of pressure on his hip while running the pipe. Second, your grip is up way higher if he does manage to sprawl out, so you never get extended. If you're circling, and haven't dropped your elbow to circle behind, then you suck the hip in, just like you would to regain position from a double leg. Either way, I agree with you. Choking the snake lock, is a much much better finish than most people give credit for.
While I completely agree on how this grip mechanically works better than the standard "gable grip and suck in to you" method, would you say that a con of this method is that the limp leg escape is much more viable? I experimented with this and found if I missed in just a few inches south, especially during the knee slide/pivot portion of the move, I would lose control of the knee and my opponent would effortlessly limp leg out.
Yes I agree with you. There is always a counter to a counter. The best thing to do is use the proper tool for the job. When I sit in the position I often times change to the palm to palm. The idea I try to preach is don’t sit there and finish immediately but I agree with your assessment.
@@TeachMeGrappling I concur. Just wanted to thank you for providing one of the best grappling channels on RUclips. I think your channel as well as Lachlan Giles and BJJ Scout (if Keenan..uh...BJJ Scout I mean, ever does an breakdown video again) are the best things on the internet.
@@marioreyes9738 lol he probably isn't keenan even though thats a funny joke. most likely he is some random british or canadian dude. I'm coming to the conclusion that this channel is the best as well on youtube for pure grappling
What you are saying is right,a copule of years ago i saw a video of John Smith saying the same things,but in my opinion you did a better job explaining the small details,but now i have a question,i was trying to work on my snatch single (when you don't drop to your knee but snatch the single from ths feet kinda like reza yazdani used to do) do you think that this lock would still be beneficial doing that kind of single leg,or it just works with the one when you drop your knee to the mat?
Why do you use use the inside hand to grip the wrist of the outside hand? Does it make a difference either way? For the gable grip the outside hand is always on top, so i'm wondering why you switched it up for the ball and socket.
When you stand up and hold his leg with this 'long arm grip': how do you secure his knee? My training partners often tend to turn away and slip out with their leg as soon as they can free their knee
before you mentioned wrestling with someone bigger i was thinking the same thing..im having trouble finding counters to counters..namingly the guillotine if your opponent switches sides..
Awesome vids Coach! If possible, could we see a quick clip at the end of your techniques in a live scenario? In tournament or just training would be great. Probably turn some non-believers heh.
When on ground, if he tries to stuff head, you rest on bicep… but what about when standing? What if he stuffs the head when you have this lock and are standing up?
ruclips.net/video/pomEyJv5ujA/видео.html This is the exact same way that Daniel Cormier does it. I'm guessing he may have learned from Oklahoma as well.
It's not about the physical alignment of the arms and legs only, but also about the direction of the forces applied which can't be seen on video and without proper explaination you'll miss them! Taking the time to listen to his details will save you 1000x that listen time waisted on wrong apply of the technique over the years! Just do some math: 20 min 'waisted' explaination versus 10 years waisted energy.

19:20 re adjust for the finish
I've been pulling on that leg for years. You are a lifesaver. 👍
It changed my life for sure. Put in the time to change your muscle memory... for me it was seriously worth it.
@@TeachMeGrappling For sure. Easier to pull guard from their sprawl as well
I’m strictly a jiujitsu guy and have always sucked at wrestling but your explanations are so good and the technique so superb I believe I can implement this into my game. Amazing! Thanks.
Did it work?
@@lrimunlmorin7947 yes. I’ve added it to my game.
this shit is pure gold
Agree
Was gonna say the same thing!
Wow, a real game changer. Traditional Sprawl counter won't work as effectively anymore.
Great wrestling technique, awesome details. Thanks for sharing!
Your teachings are priceless!!
His breakdown and details of the techniques has put me hours ahead on my game! Thank you coach!
Thanks Tom how's MySpace kicking right now
Coach you should make wrestling instructionals. You are a great teacher.
Maybe one day!
@@TeachMeGrappling Fanatic Wrestling needs teachers like you
John Smith is a legend. It doesn´t matter which grappling style you practice... there is so much to learn from John Smith.
this was a extra good one. might be the best grappling channel tbh
single leg is my favorite technique in grappling, i do it from everywhere , from standing from guard from bottom, this video very helpful to me thank you
Revolutionary, not surprised it came from the legendary John Smith

Coach I can't thank you enough. These are the details that are both rare and most valuable. I shall show my support via patreon!!

Coach this is real combat moves,ancient and in your good hands🤲 lucky to witness ☯️
Sounds like a very powerful idea! I've got to try it as soon as the gym reopens. Thank you, coach!
Post and pivot has worked for me, adding the thought of knee slide is helpful Thanks Brian
You are best in details!
You're totally my virtual wrestling coach! Great, amazing video!!

Interesting consideration.
Hey Brian I see your man Vinc is fighting in the ufc big fan of all your stuff best of luck from Quetzaltenango
Great technique as allways. Definitely going to try this. Thank you for keeping this channel going.
Trying this tomorrow morning, thanks coach
You had me at John Smith
What you are saying is right,a copule of years ago i saw a video of John Smith saying the same things,but in my opinion you did a better job explaining the small details,but now i have a question,i was trying to work on my snatch single (when you don't drop to your knee but snatch the single from ths feet kinda like reza yazdani used to do) do you think that this lock would still be beneficial doing that kind of single leg,or it just works with the one when you drop your knee to the mat?
No I use it for snatch singles as well! Yazdani is a beast!
Just use the part where he shows after you knee slide and pivot to get to your feet and proceed from there.
This channel is the best!
Why do you use use the inside hand to grip the wrist of the outside hand? Does it make a difference either way? For the gable grip the outside hand is always on top, so i'm wondering why you switched it up for the ball and socket.
Gold. And I really like that your'e tough on the cameramen! :D
Wow amazing channel. At first I was turned off by how long they are compared to other videos. But the details are gold.
When you stand up and hold his leg with this 'long arm grip':
how do you secure his knee? My training partners often tend to turn away and slip out with their leg as soon as they can free their knee
MAN THIS IS A BOMB - THNX!!!
before you mentioned wrestling with someone bigger i was thinking the same thing..im having trouble finding counters to counters..namingly the guillotine if your opponent switches sides..
Thank you again sir for an AWESOME video!
Beautiful! Thanks!
This is a great channel!
Your channel's awesome.
Dude this is golden
I really wanna know about head position. Shooting doubles / singles with you head on the outside vs on the inside.
Outstanding details. Thanks for the great video!
Support support!!!
Very good video thanks master
Mind blown!!!
10/10
This stuff is fantastic!
Thank you coach!
Brilliant!
Awesome vids Coach! If possible, could we see a quick clip at the end of your techniques in a live scenario? In tournament or just training would be great. Probably turn some non-believers heh.
Amazing. Thanks!
This was fantastic
Great stuff! Thanks a lot!🙏
Love this!
Very informative!
this is awesome
When on ground, if he tries to stuff head, you rest on bicep… but what about when standing? What if he stuffs the head when you have this lock and are standing up?
ty!
Okay but once start getting up what's to stop him from just turning away and pulling his leg out?? 🤔
Genius!!!!!!!
Good
Awesome!
Cheers 👍🏽
19:50
I'm about 200lb, I tried this on a big guy and he sprawled so fast it snapped my radial bone in my right arm.
Great technique.
WTF!? 😂
Anatomy.
my mind is blown
ruclips.net/video/pomEyJv5ujA/видео.html This is the exact same way that Daniel Cormier does it. I'm guessing he may have learned from Oklahoma as well.
🤯
Vinc won it let’s see what the judges say!
There are more than one way to skin that cat
👻
Speed it up
Way too much talking.
Good lord, I had to jump 5 mins at a time just to see the techniques applied.
It's not about the physical alignment of the arms and legs only, but also about the direction of the forces applied which can't be seen on video and without proper explaination you'll miss them!

Will be working on this ASAP.
