I used the entry you talked about at 2:35 to grab for single leg and I was able to get the take down. Thank you sir!
That is awesome to hear!
Really good details on options from the arm drag.
Ed just seems like a really fun guy.
I tend to hit my arm drags from a collar and arm tie right as they release their outside grip to pummel inside. As they circle around, the near hand chops down, sometimes not even grabbing, and the far hand comes along and grips right above the elbow. I usually drag straight down. I'm looking to root them in place and break posture, not move them past me. I used to go for an outside single with the other arm, one of the reasons I just chop the arm down instead of grabbing it.
These days I prefer that same grip on the hip that you showed.
Love the arm drag and as always wonderful explanation and demonstration.
Fantastic explanations and details here, Eli!
I’m on my third day of jui jitsu in a gym for people that have been doing it for years, this helps right here. When I do this and I’m behind them, can I just like drag them down using my body weight and end up in back mount (I think that’s what it’s called when you guys are both kind of sitting down and you’re behind them) and then work from there.
Great details, been using the armdrag a LOT lately definitely really needed this video!
Glad to hear it!
Errm... akshually the takedown at 4:20 is called a "Ko Uchi Makikomi" 🤓🤓🤓
jk, love your instructionals as always. Thank you for video!
Thanks!
I liked everything you showed.
Thank you so much.
Actually... that's a Ko Uchi Makikomi 😜 *scnr*
Great video, thank you!
Dammit. I should’ve figured. Ya got me. 🤦♂️
If you look closely, you can arm drag from just about anywhere. #armdragsarelife
Absolutely. Hard to find a more important transitional tool in grappling. 🙌
Very good video, just would like to talk about technical thing on your videos :
in my opinion I feel like volume sound is very low since a couple months maybe
The last one had sound issues due to a “de-noise” effect applied in editing. This one sounded much better to me however…not sure the issue this time.
❤❤❤❤
its so much harder when your opponent is actively defending it. i feel like to truly understand the application i need to drill nothing but that for quite some time. the classes @ the gym i go to is like half instruction half rolling. I really like the instruction rolling where its the like 2 min mini rounds to practice what we learned, but we rarely do that. I am a academic type person so i would not mind drilling a move for a week straight, but most people don't like doing that. Whats your opinion on the perfect balance of sparring/instruction/drilling? i feel like when martial arts were less popular they were more drilling oriented because discipline is so key, but now with everyones attention spans .... and having to retain people to run a business...
Here's my two cents worth. There is no magic formula. Prioritizing our training must be dictated by our goals, and our goals must be acquired by being honest with ourselves.
I like the way you think. Back in the day we spent at least fifty percent of our time perfecting technique. Forget drilling a technique for a week. We drilled techniques for months and years. As far as I am concerned it's all about basics. Additionally thirty or forty percent of our times was devoted to conditioning. The remaining time, when there is any, is given over to application. And in my school, as in the schools I learned from, a minimum of ten percent of training was reserved for meditation and concentration. These last two training qualities were tied into soft and deep breathing techniques. Without training the mind, training the body is of limited value. And that takes us back to priorities. Why are you training in the first place?
Good luck.

I would love going to a gym where you just drilled one move per class until you mastered it, then did situational rolling/sparring to develop it. Unfortunately that gym would go out of business.
My current gym is amazing, except the coach tries to show 15 techniques per class.
Like, bro, I don't need 15 guard passes, I need 2 unstoppable ones.
I remember the arm drag from my wrestling days.
Crucial element for sure!
@@KnightJiuJitsu I think JJ is better/more effective than wrestling though. But I do think that it gave me a good base !!!

Thank you. I appreciate your sharing with us.

🖒👍👌🖒
What a nice gym lol
Haha, it is an exceptional facility for sure.
I have glasses, it’s a huge disadvantage while a fist fight :(
The opponent just straight up go for my glasses, hitting me in my weakest spot 😢
I've worn contacts most all my life, very blind. It was extremely problematic getting hit and losing contacts constantly. I had lasik finally last month and I wish I had done it years ago.

Huh?
Actually...
Too fast at 3:29
Watch it again or on a slower speed.
