Most MMA fights I've seen where someone dominates by grappling it is with superior fundamentals, not any fancy or advanced techniques. If someone is able to demonstrate higher level skills it is because their fundamentals are solid.
I don't care if people think this is too basic, Coach Brian -- if you saved just one person from stupidly injuring their own knee on solid ground or, even worse, concrete then the time taken to create this video from you and to watch it from others was totally worth it. Everything else was worthwhile, too! For the record, I can personally vouch for the rounded back and failing to turn the corner errors being done repeatedly while learning this. I'm speaking about, uh, a friend making these fundamental errors and not me, of course. ;)
@@seetsamolapo5600 Good call. At a street fight level, you prob don't have to though, as 95% of guys are throwing a big right haymaker at you, so duck straight into the double leg. For 95% of the rest of them, just a jab to the air in front of their face will be enough. If that isn't enough, you might be in trouble.
@@dadthelad agreed. Personally, I think be prepared as you can be. Better to be over prepared than under. Expect a fight, not just a quick Jason Bourne incapacitation of an opponent
In my utmost humble opinion. “ Advanced are basics done correct” “ It is the units that complete the whole” “ Fighting is relativity in motion, never expect only respond, as it one’s opponent within context that dictates tactics” Truly, your ability to convey the curriculum as well as demonstrate how the techniques themselves changes according to context is nothing but sublime. So please, do not worry about length, it is an honor to be able to learn from such an experienced peer as yourself. I come from a security background, military and private sector, and to truly recognize and acknowledge the changes that occurs when in a self defense/ self preservation scenario can truly be the difference between life and death. There are so many factors to consider that changes according to the settings/ contexts one finds oneself in: - risking slipping, go a full double leg penetration step, with knee crashing down into concrete, - holding onto your opponent while both go down to the pavement as he conveniently lands full body weight onto your hands, grinding your fingers and wrists etc - possibility of multiple attackers, as well as timing is the essence of everything, as you may be accompanied by your loved one’s/friends, so applying an increased direct approach and comprehending the semantics according to when/ how/ why, and to modify the techniques when seconds count can truly change the outcomes of the altercation in one’s favor drastically. So again, please, take the time needed to explain as in-depth as you wish and feel the need to, as I have implemented a lot of your viewpoints into my own training regiment, as well as the curriculum in regards to my own students as well.

This is the most helpful video on double leg I've ever seen. And I've been wondering about the difference between mma and wrestling takedowns for a while!
Ah, I love this. Reminds me of a time (briefly wrestled in high school), where I got a solid, deep double on a guy probably 4 weight classes above me. He went straight back and I drove him off the mat and he landed pretty flat. Win for the little guys I guess :) PS I really like how much you drill in the basics. If the basics don't work, nothing else really does, either.
Thanks for showing us that we don't need to smash our knee into the concrete for a double leg in a self defence situation. Brilliant detail that seems obvious now that you point it out, but just isn't obvious.
This is so useful to those with little knowledge of wrestling and particularly people like me, who are from a place that doesn't really have amateur wrestling.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for this valuable content your helping alot of people with their passion. Hard to find wrestling training in Canada if your not in highschool
Thanks Brian, this really helped me. Ive never managed to get the classic double leg to work despite thinking I knew every detail and having two coaches teach me it. I could only ever do the bump double where you headbutt the opponent into the ground. The "Turn the corner" description and visual demonstration of it defeating a sprawl made it all make sense.
Thank you!!! Im a jj guy and i ve been trying to develop a good stand up game for 2 years. I have no wrestling school in my city (Brazil), so youtube has been my friend. Your video was the most comprehensible i have found. Help me a lot understanding the whys an how of the double leg. So Thanks a lot. Great stuff. Your channel is awesome. PS. Btw, One good point i'd like to see adressed would be how to avoid the guillotine.
Avoiding the guillotine while turning the corner is something I'd be interested in learning some detail on as well. From what I can tell so far, it's "don't hang out there (be explosive) and if they wrap your neck, do your best to fall on the safe side"
I'm so glad you are showing taking the legs to the side instead of the blast double. I know of a Pro-MMA fighter that was a great college wrestler that lived on the blast down the middle double, he gets put into guard over and over again. He would just roll his eyes at me when I tried to get him to take the legs to the side for MMA.
I love the way you teach. Your philosophy is incredible. Far too many grappling academies only teach the style conducive to their specific sport. You teach it as 1 comprehensive martial art. Would love to train with you.
Thanks! Did this on my last NAGA and was concerned because I didn't go to my knee.. guess I did it right after all.. Ha ha! Can you do the double leg counter, Switch and Roll sometime?
This stuff is gold. Seriously amazing work you guys! As someone who has their first mma fight soon and needs to shore up their wrestling, I really appreciate all the work you do! Keep it up!

It is worthy to see this videos even though my English is not good, I am learning from the coach Peterson and teaching my kids and kids around me on my neighbor Hood at the same time for Free in Spanish .
I have a dream! One day, I will have watched and learned all of Teach Me Grappling and get Certified Grapple Tested by the original Numba Wan Grappling Gangster, Coach Brian Son of Peter! But first, I must go to Kindergrapplegarten. Baby steps. No skipping grades on the way to Grappleversity.
I have a simple question regarding doing double leg takedown in MMA situation. Please don't crap on me for how simple it is. When my opponent has his left leg forward, what are the advantages and disadvantages of shooting for a double leg where my head goes to the right side of his body? Versus the left side of his body? Thank you.
You don’t see it much in the UFC anymore, but it’s still a useful Guard off the double and single is rather than defend with the Sprawl, defend with the Butterfly Guard. Any chance of showing some of the techniques available to the defender as he’s being double/single legged, like Butterfly throw reversals into side control, Half Guard or Mount?
Would it be better to go to the right hip with your head by doing it from an orthodox stance? That way you would stay away from their power side knees and uppercuts, as well as be closer to reading the back of their shirt since their stance is tilted that way.
Hey coach, thanks again! I’m a long time subscriber, bjj guy before your channel, with no wrestling base. I also don’t have any high school or college wrestling on my country (Australia), but street fighting is rife in my city. I’ve been attacked quite a few times, mostly due to my line of work, with the intention being to control my work behaviour, which is unfortunately a non negotiable, as I need my job. However I can’t go around punching people (although I have done about 10 years of kickboxing/muay thai/karate at this point), so bjj seemed like a solution. Then I realised, wrestling! Jesus! Even someone bigger than me, if they haven’t wrestled, ever, man they are in for a mediocre day if they insist on getting violent. Especially because I hate getting hit, even with a shitty street punch, because that’ll split your lip, and then you still gotta work, plus the next day, plus work, plus training etc etc Thankfully I’ve learnt enough bjj and wrestling from you, that I can drill these techniques with my bjj guys, that I can pull them off on aggressive, large, untrained people, without hurting anyone very much, pride not included lol This is the intersection of street fighting and self defence! I can send you footage if you want to see the types of encounters I’m talking about...
erik lee It’s about stance. In BJJ/MMA you always have a lead leg. If you’re orthodox, your right leg should be in front so it would always should go first and your left would follow. It’s probably good for your coordination to do both. Who knows.
Basically, that knee drop improves your posture and better posture means more power (forward momentum)? Coach, thx for explaining shooting distance and cornering mehanics when finalizing a takedown. In MMA if a wrestling based fighter drops on his knees then he has to fight from inferior position onto the fence, but on the wrestling mat they get points on the stepout if shoot fails.
Not really on both occasions. You go on your knee to straight your back so you can't be effectively Sprawled on. A good spine support will negate much of the downward weight of the sprawl. Nothing to do with extra pushing power. Second, being on the knees is because in a wrestling match the opponent is not afraid of strikes, and will have a lowered stance to pre-emptively counter the lower-body attacks. In MMA the opponent has to worry about the strikes, so he doesn't dare to lower his stance as much which is why the person attacking the legs doesn't need to go all the way down to his knees to get the proper angle for his spine pillar. In other words, when strikes are allowed it actually makes it easier for the wrestler to shoot for a Double Leg/Lower-body attacks. It also becomes way more effective than in a pure wrestling/grappling match.
What about tall fighter (195) and I fight in 77/84 kg category, so I'm always taller or equal to my opponents. Even if I bend my knee, I'm still in punch range because my head is in line with my opponent's shoulders, as results I always takedown after slip my opponent punch, without changing level before takedown. I ask You or even beg You, can You make a tutorial for tall fighter how should we take down our opponents?
Hey coach how do i get in range for takedowns with a partner that constantly is backing away and refusing to tie up during rolling (he doesnt want to get taken down) usually he will dive in for a bad takedown from far away then bail on it and pull guard. how do I improve takedowns with people like this at bjj schools?
I need help teaching my 5 year old what to do at the start of a Jitsu match. Specifically, against kids that have a fast strong mid level charge that just knocks him down backward. I looked on youtube but can't find any instructional videos for this young age. I feel like if he just braces himself and tries to block with arms then the other will still win because of momentum. My son knows how to sprawl very low takedown attempts, but the mid level charge is too high for him to sprawl on top of. He's not agile enough to dodge far off to the side yet either. Seriously, please do a KINDERGARTEN SERIES for all of us who have NO wrestling school locally besides High School age. Start from how to teach them initial position and fast starting.

Most MMA fights I've seen where someone dominates by grappling it is with superior fundamentals, not any fancy or advanced techniques. If someone is able to demonstrate higher level skills it is because their fundamentals are solid.
Even with high level world wrestling it's the amazingly strong basics that win a match 9 out of 10 times
Coach Brian: "I'm teaching ultra basic, low level, kindergarten wrestling"
Half the BJJ community goes: "Revolutionary!"
😂
true hahaha
lol exactyl how i feel. lol fuck
If wrestling was easy, it would be called jiu jitsu.

Thank you professor
A good coach teaches you what you want to know. a grate coach shows you what you need to know. ❤️🙏🏽❤️
I got it i think-
So the opponents arms, hip and head level determine how low you need to be to shoot for the singles & doubles!
amazing
Thanks coach!
