- Dagestan produces the best wrestlers in the world. Their technical wrestling skills and highly specialized wrestling fitness have led them to win hundreds of medals in the top wrestling competitions in the world.
One of the most interesting elements to Dagestan's wrestling success is their approach to conditioning as they have developed a direct and effective means of getting wrestlers into top wrestling shape.
They do this with many task specific exercises and use of fitness equipment and fitness methodology that is very different than what is used in other areas of the world.
Here is a video on Dagestani conditioning methods for wrestling, let us know what you think!

Dagestan wrestling is the new jiu-jitsu....its gonna dominate until people wake up, get on board, adapt and incorporate it into their fight game. Interesting times. Thank you for making/sharing.
Well said Ryan, we agree. There is also Ossetian, Georgian, Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria, the Stans and Azerbaijan as well as many other styles of wrestling from the East that have a ton of value to grapplers. Glad you enjoyed and thank you!
@@Grapplezilla do modern turks from turkiye still wrestle? i heard central asian turks/mongolians were good wrestlers but not too sure about turks from turkiye nowadays
@@hoodmayes Yes definitely! Modern Turks and Turkey in general are some of the best wrestlers on the planet, you have modern day legends such as Riza Kayaalp who is a 5 time world champ, Taha Akgul who is an Olympic champ and 3 time world champ and many other amazing Turkish wrestlers.
There also an absolutely huge and wonderful Turkish Oil Wrestling Scene in Turkey called "Yagli Gures" in Turkish which is immensely popular.
So to answer your question, modern day Turks are not only good wrestler but amazing wrestlers as well as Turkey is one of the strongest wrestling countries in the world.
Different then jui jitsu. Jui jitsu only reaches to the ground. Benefits of jiu jitsu don’t translate to standup only ground game. Dagestan wrestling relies heavily on relentless forwards pressure and feinting take downs and creating the fear of being taken down and that really eradicates the opponents ability to really strike. Especially when they have almost no time to throw anything because the dagestani is constantly shooting takedowns or feinting take downs. So dagestani wrestling gives the advantage in the standup, as well as on the ground. Jiu jitsu is only ground
@@jamesbaka1206 I'm still kinda new to mma, how is Dagestan wrestling better than American collegiate wrestling?
You didn’t mention anything about the most important part of Dagestani training. In Dagestan it is well known by even the young boys there that if you want to be a world contending wrestler you really have to put a lot of training into beard growing.
Wow.... "so funny"...
Love the culture n discipline by the ppl as a whole …
Fantastic compilation video. Thank you very much for sharing. It's inspiring to see the way they train 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much and I’m very happy you enjoyed! Have a great day 🙂

Thanks for sharing from your Bratha❤❤❤
Resistance bands make perfect sense for wrestling practice.
Thanx for this very interesting
Thank you so much. As a strength and conditioning coach, this will serve me well in my wrestling journey
Glad to hear you liked this. We will place more wrestling conditioning videos in the future. There are a lot of non western conditioning methods that are out there that are really great to add to one’s workouts.
You can notice that they are doing explosive repetitions on exercises. It’s important as well
Resistance bands are called Wrestlers' rubber (борцовская резина) in Daghestan. And in some other former Soviet regions
Hello, greetings from Greece! Its the first time that i saw this term used ( wrestler 's rubber) and also the russian words for this. I wanted to make you a question. I have trained extensively with resistance bands in body building exercises and i found that for sure you get a great pump but i didn't feel any stronger when I moved to weights or when I wrestled ( in a very sluggish way) with my friends ( i am not a wrestler) . In your opinion why wrestlers use so much the elastic resistance, what do you believe they gain from it. Also why they don't use cable pulley machines as much? Sorry if I bore you my friend and thanks!
Like it, its complex, creative and some guys train with joy...be careful that you can keep it!
Thanks a lot sir
Glad you enjoyed!
Incredible
🙏 Thank You
Nice!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
yet all the haters think it’s all due to steroids - apparently never thinking for once it’s the result of years of hard work and a different kind of training, unique to the culture of another country. And a-lot of these Dagestani also get their strength from other non-wrestling endeavors. Makhachev has grown up farming, breeding livestock, digging, building and I can tell you from first-hand experience, farming is tough AF… now amplify that difficulty by a factor of 10 - these dudes, doing it in the mountains. They’re a different breed of men.
Everything you said is correct - these guys train like animals, are from a tough part of the world, have done a lot of things outside the gym, and have an enviable mentality. It has all contributed to even relative unknowns to be world-class athletes.
However, let's not fool ourselves - it's all those thing PLUS the PEDs. With all the grueling training, all the time and effort put into their sport, it would be downright stupid for all of them to not be of stuff. When you compete, your prize and money, the validity of your methods, the expectations of your team and coaches, the prestige of your school/city/countey, and the pride of your community, your own self-belief and value are all on the line. This is sports - most people will take any advantage they can get, and it's hard to blame them. The ones that don't are outliers, and I find it hard to believe even them (say, maybe they didn't take steroids, but they wiggled themselves into a better position some other way. It's, ironically, even more mandatory in striking sports - so the other guy is juiced to the gills and can take me out with a couple of shots, taking what I want away from me, and completely unconcerned about any permanent damge he might cause me by being unnatural, and the I am supposed to just sit there and accept that?
It's even funnier when people obviously on PEDs start calling other out for it (e.g. from BJJ as my sport of choice - every second word out of Nick Rodriguez's mouth being a call-out to Gordon Ryan. And then Craig Jones, a teammate of Rodriguez, goes and releases his 'full' stack
Information). The question is how will the sports community, in general, move on with it's perception and representation of PEDs and how that will then affect the world of sports as a whole. Will everyone agree to stop taking drugs? Will they all open up, stuff bwcomes totally legal, and the technology just gets card blanche to blast ahead? Will that literally mutate sports into something completely unrelatable to the common person? Or will we just keep pretending that literally almost everyone isn't juicing?
This is a great video man. I know everyone wants to know what's the best thing to practice but it should be enjoyed while taking it seriously.
There's more to it than just being the best right? Just improve as a person.

Hi, I lived and trained as classical wrestler during Soviet Union. Here are some thougths on seen. Some clips are from so called summer camps. Grappling legs isn't conditioning as such. Also, there are different methods to develope explosive power, even to interlace it with power endurance workout at the same time.
2:08 - Long pull-ups can be done also several ways.
- Shadow movement is a rubbish. Use a dummy instead.
- Bands are good only as a warm-up.
They, free-stylers are so obsessed not to loose quickness. They need to add a vest, +10kg at least, when they run around.
8:30 - Run a lot and still FAT!
And so on. Don't idolize them!
Hi, thanks for the input and sharing your thoughts. I disagree with you on a few points.
I must point out that you are a classic wrestler (Greco Roman) so it is a different training methodology than in Freestyle Wrestling.
Shadow movement in my opinion is very useful and extremely common to see within Dagestan's best wrestling schools that have produced many European, World and Olympic champions, all of which use this method. Perhaps in terms of Greco Roman it is not a method but in Freestyle, this is a method. You also mentioned to use a wrestling dummy instead, I think both are great but work on different athletic attributes.
Band training is also used as a warmup but much more commonly seen after a training session. The bands are excellent for building muscular endurance while training the same body mechanics as seen in wrestling. Once again, in Dagestan it is very common at the top wrestling schools to see wrestlers use rubber bands for conditioning.
You are right that Freestyle Wrestlers are very concerned with being quick on their feet, it is also common for Greco Wrestlers to be quick on their feet as well.
Have a good day
name of song played in the first minute please
В детстве все борцы мечтали выиграть с начала чемпионат мира, потом олимпиаду, а потом чемпионат Дагестана
Привет, друг, мне тоже приснился этот сон, но, к сожалению, он может быть только один, и это был не я :-)
Теперь я старше, но мне нравится наблюдать за тем, как соревнуется это поколение воинов.
Seems like this national trains from a young age like an Olympic sport very serious regimen no wonder they are producing champions
What’s the song starting at 5:45 please?
Song name please?
I think this is everywhere, right? Little boys are doing this on the beach in Senegal during family bbq.
Definitely wrestling culture is global and the beauty is that most cultures have some type of wrestling that is practiced with each style having its own flavor. Senegal has Laamb which is an amazing grappling/fighting style you are right.
Go. You will see men working out on the street. Doing pushups at bus stops. Pull ups on guard rails. Beaches with broken glass, but they are wrestling. Strong af. @@Grapplezilla
can someone please provide me link for wrestlers resistance bands.

How does this compare to catch? Does it have subs too or is it takedown/top/pin?
Hi, great question! So Luta Livre was heavily influenced by Catch Wrestling due to the fact that it’s founder Euclydes Hatem was a Catch Wrestler himself.
Hatem created Luta Livre by taking Catch Wrestling and adding Kosen Judo and Ground Striking, which led to Luta Livre diverging itself as a different art/system than Catch.
Luta Livre definitely has submissions and is very focused on submissions but there is no emphasis on only submitting from the top position as they allow positions from the guard position as well as bottom position.
The interesting thing is one of the major differences between Luta Livre and it’s Brazilian Rival (BJJ) was the fact that in Luta Livre there is no heavy emphasis on playing guard and bottom game, there is more an emphasis on attacking for a submission or choke regardless of if the person is top or bottom. This must be noted as this facet of Luta Livre is definitely derived from Catch - the facet of Submission before position and hitting subs from anywhere and everywhere.
So if we look at how it compares to catch, it is definitely in the same “family” of arts and they would be considered like “Cousins” (if that makes any sense). Both are truly great arts and have produced true grappling and MMA specimens that have competed and dominated at the highest levels of MMA.
Have a great day. 🙂
@@Grapplezilla What an incredibly detailed amd enlightening response. Particularly enjoyed getting to grasp the difference between Jitz and LL. Much appreciated, thank you very much! Oss! 💪😎.
Am a Jitz roller, and would like to incorporate catch into my game. Difficult finding gyms that teach catch wrestling.
Thank you buddy!
@@tamamalosi
@@tamamalosi This is one of the issues when trying to learn Catch as unlike BJJ, there is not the same amount of Catch instructors (well not now at least) in comparison.
I would try to go to some seminars, especially off they are being done by top level Catch instructors like Erik Paulson (he is Excellent as he is also a high level Jiujiteiro), Josh Barnett, Neil Melanson, Tony Cecchine, Jake Shannon and others.
If you can’t find a seminar or school near you then another tip would be to look for a SHOOTO (shootwrestling) gym or an AMC Pankration type gym, these will mix it up more with MMA so if you are looking for pure grappling to add to your BJJ, it may not be what you are looking for.
If you can’t find the above, then perhaps take some folkstyle or freestyle wrestling as this will at least give you a lot of the same attributes that Catch advocates such as top game dominance, scrambling and pinning. Add it onto your BJJ and it starts to look quite similar to Catch, not the same but very similar.
Last is to try learning via videos as in the last years there has been a lot of great material put out on Catch. I am always an advocate of first and foremost learning from an instructor in a live setting but not all of us have that privilege so this is where videos come along (just don’t become a technique collector).
Hope this helps, and thanks for watching my video!

Where can I find those types of resistance bands?

Form lifting in the West, what? Western wrestlers damn near train that same way.
America now wins the worlds and the Olympics every year and our youth are only getting better. America has the best wrestlers in the World. No disrespect its just the facts.
The US has amazing wrestling and wrestlers no doubt. I don’t agree that the US completely dominates in the Olympics or the Worlds as generally Russia is top dog with America close at their heels with Japan and Iran in the race too. The past few worlds the US has been amazing, especially David Taylor who is simply wonderful to watch as well as last Olympics too. Gable Stevenson last Olympics was truly dominant as he beat seriously talented wrestlers and I must say he is the man.
I always wonder how dominant the US would be in international wrestling competition if they practiced only Freestyle and Greco in school and college and not Folkstyle. Personally I think the US would be unbeatable had this been the case. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of folkstyle but it would be interesting to see what would happen had Freestyle been the main style in the US.
@@Grapplezilla I agree. It's only Folkstyle that are holding US back. But they are looking strong. It's hard to beat 350 million population plus great facilities/opportunity.

Does sadelaev have a twin brother ?
No, not that I know of.
Засмеялся могу отвечаю на казлв могу 3 чеса вылержать тренировку но потом три дня хожу а отдышкой все пиздец старость подкрадывается.
How much do they have to eat ... and I bet they stay close of they competition weight. You don't want to be cutting too much weight with that workout ...
You are right, they do keep closer to competition weight and they eat as athletes. Towards competition they really fine tune the diet, eating very healthy and watch the calories.
@Grapplezilla I mean, if you don't 🎈your weight, the cutting is not harsh, but I doubt they go more than 10 pounds over they Macht weight look like discipline is not negotiable there .
They’re clones bro , CLONES!!!
It surprises me Putin hasn't sent these guys to Ukraine
Wish i could just hear the sounds of the gym instead of the corny rap song
these guys are not Russian.
Yeah they are... Dagestan is part of Russian Federation. Unless you want to claim that only Slavs are Russian which is retarded because now you try to go against reality to in order to satisfy your Estonian BS fanatsy.
@@deniskrivolet627за метлой следи чепушила
Yes they are.
Interesting. Americans dominate when it comes to conditioning in wrestlingn. Like this is common knowledge. It’s the Russian tactics and technique (and drugs) that make them unequal
@@McRee771 need i add, also purchase the best alibis and as was the case recently , the veto power to not let Russian atheletes compete under a flag
American Folkstyle wrestling is better it has produced more champions in mma then all of Dagastan.
per capita. seems like a lot of people in the states don't understand per capita.
wrestling in general is hard. go to a highschool wrestling practice. those kids are doing sprints, running up and down flights of stairs in sauna suits, doing bear crawls, and fireman’s carrying people up and down the mats. Highschool let alone MMA and college wrestling practice would kick 99% of these martial art’s ass. there’s a reason why wrestlers have a 85% chance of passing any special operations selection course they enlist into whether its BUD/s or SFAS and they’ve produced the most champions in the UFC out of any martial art.
There is a plenty of of strikers who beat wrestlers in the ufc.for example Vicente luque smashed tyron Woodley,adesanya smashed vettori.etc..
@@bakarspecialboy8816doesn't necessarily mean those strikers could hang with the wrestlers in their training. They would likely lag behind. They wouldn't be able to wrestle these guys. They suck at wrestling compared to these guys.
@@brendon2462 im talking about (striker vs wrestler in mma) not striker vs wrestler in wrestling
@@bakarspecialboy8816 i know but the original comment above was referring to wrestling training. Yes I know you meant strikers beat wrestlers sometimes in MMA. But I was just pointing out. That doesn't mean the strikers can hang with wrestlers in their training. Wrestling is very tough training.
@@brendon2462 ya true
