    Hello. I just discovered your channel. I tried BJJ for about 3 months in late 2019. Due to COVID all gyms were closed for a few years. As you know, the gym (instructors and students) is what makes or breaks one’s desire to continue on with any martial art’s discipline. I have resumed my training in Muay Thai (2 years now). I haven’t seriously considered returning to BJJ, because of my concern/safety for my knees. Even though I only tried BJJ for a few months, I was very impressed with what I was exposed to. Especially the level of respect that was shown by all the instructors and students. I’m 63 years old - maybe I will resume my BJJ journey…. Much respect to you. 🙏🏼

I have been training BJJ and am pretty consistent with my shots and double legs, but recently a new guy that is 60lbs heavier and 14 years younger just joined the gym and I couldn't snap a double leg on him. His weight and strength is keeping my game honest by showing the imperfections in my setup. This gave the answers I was looking for. Me and my joints thank you.

    What a great video! Since I started wrestling 1,5 months ago, I always felt pain during the beginning of training, where we had to shoot a takedown. Of course I never knew how to shoot a takedown correctly and always did it with an incorrect form, which brought pain into my knees. After watching this video some couple minutes ago, I shot some slow speedy takedowns in my living room with the form you told and I felt the insane difference between both takedown variants. I’m feeling now, that I can finally shoot a takedown in training worrying about having pain afterwards. Thank you for the explanation.👏
