Word of advice: stay out of the comment section it's filled with trolls. Go and use some of these great techniques in live training with open minded partners. Thank you Anderson! Oss! 🤼♂️🥋🔥
This works if the guy is hesitating or fighting for position. If the fighter shoots explosively with strength, its very hard to pull off unless you're super fast.
RIGHT,,,, Anderson Silva could never withstand a full frontal buffalo attack,,,,most fighters keep being calculative against him but go all in and he breaks like he broke his flimsy leg just by kicking,,,
I’m glad I found this video I was looking for single leg defense tips and had watched this vid years ago n it worked really well. Will be doing then again in my mma class this time
BONUS: during the spladle, hook the leg you didnt grab already with the the leg your opponent is holding and roll backwards. you should have both his legs so you can pressure his head with your stomach to pull off a submission.
these techniques r no good vs a good wrestler, the drive will prevent you from leaning down to grab cause your gonna be focusing on stability. Thats why you either sprawl or underhook there arms and either pull your leg out or bring it to the ground.
D_Journey I agree. But maybe against the cage, only problem is trying to pivot after grabbing leg. And I wouldn’t expect him to do this now after his injury.
Idk if I'd call them bullshit. They'll work for a tall guy with long limbs like Silva. A 5'10 stocky guy like myself isn't going to be able to pull off that last move Silva did, especially on a larger opponent. I like watching Rousimar Palhares clips. Stays low, uses quick, powerful attacks. Then again, Palhares also routinely benches 400 lbs in his workouts. So unless you are super strong like he is you might not try ripping someone's ankle off. It usually results in being kicked in the face.
Indeed. Especially considering you have to move the opponent's head to the outside to complete most of these moves. It's a step that could likely prove quite costly.
Thats fair, just keep trying. I'm fairly new to MMA and I don't know many take downs but I just keep trying and it usually works. Oh wow just noticed your comment was five years ago, hope you are doing good!
Well the basic stuff is always better, but this is showing some of the flashy things you can do to counter TD's and thats what alot of people are more interested in learning when they search things up on the internet.
I like the concepts here, but they all hinge on the opponent attempting to vertically lift the leg and create distance instead of driving into you and placing you off center. There isn't much you can do if a good wrestler puts you off center and doesn't let you have space, as you can't bring your leg back down for leverage, not can you move his head to the outside.
for what it's worth I found this comment to be interesting, however without any real content for those of us who were here to get a few ideas on our takedown defense. maybe next time you can leave us a few examples that might lead us in a new and unexpected direction in our search for useful techniques and ideas.
These defenses ,I applied in a free wrestling club and they worked very well! These innovations out of MMA ,will improve the world of wrestling too! Trying KIMURA SWEEPin wrestling club after the guy take you down with double leg! I did !!!
You know what I would've done? Try to knee and elbow the fuck out of my opponents head or even push my palm against their face. My inner muay thai instinct kicks in
what do u think of the 205 lb weight class in terms of his competition do u think there are a lot of really great fighters in that weight class say like what i think of the welterweight class or do u think that weight class is composed of scrubs like say middleweight
Seems like a lot to pull off if someone is driving into you with force and perhaps picking you up off the ground at the same time. You'd have to be lightning quick.
Hes got some top quality TDD man, maybe it can be exploited by one of the best wrestlers in the world, but that doesnt mean people who train wrestling can automatically take him down.
This was written in response to another guy who said he was more qualified to teach takedown defense because he was a college wrestler. The guy already deleted all his comments while mine are still up.
What if the person trying to use these techniques is very explosive as well? I think Anderson was using some pretty cool defensive wrestling when he fought Bonnar.
WHAT IF BROCK LESNAR TACKLES YOU? Someone with his size will pick you up and brake you in half in the air. No I'm really curious if this will work against heavier opponent?
Honestly, even with all those years of wrestling you talk about having, in a wrestling match with him you probably wouldn't win. You think just because you see him getting taken down in the ufc that he's not qualified to teach takedown defense? In a pure wrestling match between you and Silva, I would still bet on Silva.
seems good for a sport match, but why not apply a guillotine? i always do that when my friends try to tackle me goofing around and sparring, just wondering (im an enthusiast so dont rage on me plz)
if you are slopy you loose the gillotine, agree on that, but i´ve had the shit slamed out of me in bjj but ive managed to keep that guillotine, i mean if i could do it to a bigger heavier man than me, why dont pros like this guy give it a shot?
As a wrestler i can see these techniques being effective but if the fighter who is shooting is explosive he may finish before you even get the chance to implement these moves.
The rule of UFC support wrelting style. When you single leg takedown fail no counter in the ground you can punch in the face or hammer fist but not back to the head. If UFC allow soccer kick. Wreslter style he think again and again when he takedown fail he deserve counter attack by soccer kick or knee to the face.
College wrestling doesn't automatically > Anderson's wrestling. College wrestling + Chael Sonnen's credentials > Anderson's wrestling. Look up Sonnen's wrestling credentials and you'll see why he dominated Silva in wrestling for 6 rounds. That's also why Chael Sonnen's wrestling credentials > Okami, Marquardt, D. Miller, Brian Stann and Michael Bisping's wrestling. College wrestling =/= what people imagine it actually does.
Thats true. I get sick of seeing panicked take down attempts and people seemingly falling to their knees as a defense. We need pride style rules on knees to the head if just in the turtle position.
I couldn't beat Silva in a fight, but I could last 5 rounds. Only because he'd spend the entire time slapping me in the face and mocking me. Who knows, he might spend so much time humiliating me, I might be able to get a pity vote from a judge.
why do you have to go personal on chael, ain't nobody mentioning anderson's shotgun assault days , and kissing his opponents in the mouth on staredowns.....matter of fact he used this technique in both fights , rd 4 of fight 1 he took down chael like this... rd 2 of the 2nd fight too...
thats false anything over a 1:1 is a elevated level because 1:1 is natural also a doctor with a phd has come out and said that would be the only reason he has low t is because he abused synthetics obviously im parafrasing
Word of advice: stay out of the comment section it's filled with trolls. Go and use some of these great techniques in live training with open minded partners. Thank you Anderson! Oss! 🤼♂️🥋🔥
I remember when Anderson did the switch on Nate Mardquart it was flawless.
This works if the guy is hesitating or fighting for position. If the fighter shoots explosively with strength, its very hard to pull off unless you're super fast.
RIGHT,,,, Anderson Silva could never withstand a full frontal buffalo attack,,,,most fighters keep being calculative against him but go all in and he breaks like he broke his flimsy leg just by kicking,,,
Go for his waist instead of his legs
I'm gonna need this since I'm only doing Muay Thai.
I’m glad I found this video I was looking for single leg defense tips and had watched this vid years ago n it worked really well. Will be doing then again in my mma class this time
He did that to Nate Marquardt
Great material
Thank you man. Very helpful.
Anderson Silva's English has improved in this video :)
Trutheist what the fuck
great stuff here!

i think it is difficult to grab opponents leg after he grabbed and lift your leg up..
Thats fair, just keep trying. I'm fairly new to MMA and I don't know many take downs but I just keep trying and it usually works. Oh wow just noticed your comment was five years ago, hope you are doing good!
Where to buy this dvd i want it but cant find it in stock
if you watch this in 2018...he sounds like Rick and Morty's Bird Person.
Michael Corcoran oh the wonders
Well the basic stuff is always better, but this is showing some of the flashy things you can do to counter TD's and thats what alot of people are more interested in learning when they search things up on the internet.
Interesting to see if he uses any of these in his next fight. MMA has a big toolbox.
I like the concepts here, but they all hinge on the opponent attempting to vertically lift the leg and create distance instead of driving into you and placing you off center.
There isn't much you can do if a good wrestler puts you off center and doesn't let you have space, as you can't bring your leg back down for leverage, not can you move his head to the outside.
How easy is it to switch the opponent's head from inside to outside? I don't see it done often in wrestling
With defenses that he shows,I believe he can!
man i should've saw this earlier in the wrestling season! i would've used it
for what it's worth I found this comment to be interesting, however without any real content for those of us who were here to get a few ideas on our takedown defense. maybe next time you can leave us a few examples that might lead us in a new and unexpected direction in our search for useful techniques and ideas.
No your wrong they work if you know how to pu your weight on his back as you reach for the leg after switching his head position
Anderson is gonna need this in a couple years when he faces chael sonnen
These defenses ,I applied in a free wrestling club and they worked very well!
These innovations out of MMA ,will improve the world of wrestling too!
Trying KIMURA SWEEPin wrestling club after the guy take you down with double leg! I did !!!
i learned these techniques in my shuai jiao practice. its a great technique
You know what I would've done? Try to knee and elbow the fuck out of my opponents head or even push my palm against their face. My inner muay thai instinct kicks in
@rickyd454 These are single leg counters, Chael was grabbing both legs.
what do u think of the 205 lb weight class in terms of his competition do u think there are a lot of really great fighters in that weight class say like what i think of the welterweight class or do u think that weight class is composed of scrubs like say middleweight
I remember this technique from when he fought Nate Marquardt
if that was the biggest beating silva has ever gotten, then Silva really is the best
What does that have to do with td defence?
@vitaliy kuleshov do you know who this is talking
Seems like a lot to pull off if someone is driving into you with force and perhaps picking you up off the ground at the same time. You'd have to be lightning quick.
I remember that too
Anderson's wrestling? Onde?
is that fiejao however you spell his name ko by henderson??
Hes got some top quality TDD man, maybe it can be exploited by one of the best wrestlers in the world, but that doesnt mean people who train wrestling can automatically take him down.
This was written in response to another guy who said he was more qualified to teach takedown defense because he was a college wrestler. The guy already deleted all his comments while mine are still up.
Awesome
What if the person trying to use these techniques is very explosive as well? I think Anderson was using some pretty cool defensive wrestling when he fought Bonnar.
I think he should of showed how its done when someone grabs a single leg and doesnt just stop but grabs it and keeps moving forward
@TinkaManinka good thing you dont have to worry about lesnar tackling you, since hes retired
Nice !!!
I'm gonna master this cuz this wrestlers like going for my legs.
You better now?
and I remember when, after all that, he has still amounted to more in life than you have.
Directions are not descriptive enough got a steroid needle in my arm
Lol chill
This made me die
Wrestlers won't do as well either if they allow the upkicks from any position such as the upkick Silva knocked out Okami with in their first fight.
matter of fact he did on both fights rd 4 of fight 1 and rd 2 of fight 2 , still think chael takes the 3rd , but gotta give the spider some credit.
WHAT IF BROCK LESNAR TACKLES YOU? Someone with his size will pick you up and brake you in half in the air.
No I'm really curious if this will work against heavier opponent?
Honestly, even with all those years of wrestling you talk about having, in a wrestling match with him you probably wouldn't win. You think just because you see him getting taken down in the ufc that he's not qualified to teach takedown defense? In a pure wrestling match between you and Silva, I would still bet on Silva.
where is the double leg?
My biggest weakness.......wrestling
Why didn't Dan Hardy do this to GSP, if it's that simple?
No it isn't lol, it combines like 20 different types of TDD from different martial arts, while staying in a striking stance.
@RsAnthrax
Actually he did. Don't you remember that he double legged your wrestling God?
seems good for a sport match, but why not apply a guillotine? i always do that when my friends try to tackle me goofing around and sparring, just wondering (im an enthusiast so dont rage on me plz)
Because if the person you do it to knows what they're doing they're going to slam the shit out of you.
if you are slopy you loose the gillotine, agree on that, but i´ve had the shit slamed out of me in bjj but ive managed to keep that guillotine, i mean if i could do it to a bigger heavier man than me, why dont pros like this guy give it a shot?
+kiltrofilms try that on pavement also they could try a nut strike or a bite
Because if someone takes you down correctly they should protect there neck by putting their head in the right spot.
tell that to JDS
there's a more practical way to do this, and i wonder if it works the same while the guy is pushing at you
WORD.
As a wrestler i can see these techniques being effective but if the fighter who is shooting is explosive he may finish before you even get the chance to implement these moves.
berly good
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
he gave him a beating, doesn't matter if he didn't win, Silva will remember the beating.
doesnt matter
sonnen gave silva the biggest beating he has every gotten.
cool
Damn, anyone else notice those pools of sweat?
Chael has had over 40 pro fights. only ONE, he had elevated levels. he obviously over did the therapy but obviously he wont do it again.
I was expecting to see a 20 second short grab.
The rule of UFC support wrelting style. When you single leg takedown fail no counter in the ground you can punch in the face or hammer fist but not back to the head. If UFC allow soccer kick. Wreslter style he think again and again when he takedown fail he deserve counter attack by soccer kick or knee to the face.
Anderson Silva said Chael Sonnen was bad for mma... I wonder what Dana White has to say about that.
I remember when Sonnen did that too. Oh wait.... he didn't go for single leg take downs.
i dont think those will work if you opponet keeps walkin towards you while he holding you leg
College wrestling doesn't automatically > Anderson's wrestling.
College wrestling + Chael Sonnen's credentials > Anderson's wrestling. Look up Sonnen's wrestling credentials and you'll see why he dominated Silva in wrestling for 6 rounds. That's also why Chael Sonnen's wrestling credentials > Okami, Marquardt, D. Miller, Brian Stann and Michael Bisping's wrestling. College wrestling =/= what people imagine it actually does.
He has a translator. That isn't his voice
Thats true. I get sick of seeing panicked take down attempts and people seemingly falling to their knees as a defense. We need pride style rules on knees to the head if just in the turtle position.
Can't wait till he fights diaz
Ok he fought and fucked diaz up
Yeah..a man who posts his highlight video shamelessly is criticizing the best mma fighter in the world...
Literally 100 better counters than the ones in this video lol.
That thing is called sweat, you know what happens when you work out. You obviously have never worked out since you don't know what sweat is.
Look at all the sweat splattered on the mat, you could get a ringworm on that
i remember when chael sonnen beat silva. oh wait....he didnt
Actually he took down chael in the first round with the technique he showed.
I couldn't beat Silva in a fight, but I could last 5 rounds. Only because he'd spend the entire time slapping me in the face and mocking me. Who knows, he might spend so much time humiliating me, I might be able to get a pity vote from a judge.
Kool but wrestler dont have a hard time takeing a.silva down I know its harder than bbb it looks but he is my favorite fighter war a. Silva
why do you have to go personal on chael, ain't nobody mentioning anderson's shotgun assault days , and kissing his opponents in the mouth on staredowns.....matter of fact he used this technique in both fights , rd 4 of fight 1 he took down chael like this... rd 2 of the 2nd fight too...
thats false anything over a 1:1 is a elevated level because 1:1 is natural also a doctor with a phd has come out and said that would be the only reason he has low t is because he abused synthetics obviously im parafrasing
He couldn't do it against uncle chael the 🐐
I love Anderson Silva, but I feel like these defenses never work in a real fight.
this is for southpaws. how about orthodox?
... SONNEN
that's why people don't understand irony!
That is not a khabarelli throw, a real khabarelli is of of Judo's scariest throws, so it has been banned.
@Gusto821 silva defend 4/7 chael sonnen takedown, 3/4 from henderson O-o
U GOTTA ACT FAST TO PULL THESE OFF
Well there not going to let you reposition there head that easy!
hes lifting that guy like lifting a piece of stick
look at all the sweat on the mat
Sonnen clicked the dislike button
