  • Over the years I’ve had a lot of students go for wrestling style take downs and injure their knees. So today we are going to look at how to properly do a wrestling shot so you don’t hurt yourself.

    Yep, BJJ blue belt here. Been smashing my knees for 4 years now lol Hated every time I would get to training and we had to practice takedowns. I just tried doing the shot like you explained it in my living room and instantly felt the difference. Thanks so much, me and my knees appreciate 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.👏

    Wrestled with alot of success in high school and college. When I transitioned to MMA it was very difficult to do proper shots since I am right handed and never really shot off my left leg before. It will take a while but focus on good technique and take advice from videos like this from people who actually know what the fuck there talking about. Never give up and never stop improving my guys

    I was lucky to be doing judo in an old-school judo dojo
