Wrestling is hard but when you fight someone with no wrestling it feels unfair almost.

Butt scooting is the dance of our people... We cannot abandon our tradition

I’m glad you’ve seen the light

As a white belt who’s a former varsity wrestler, I got you. I hate using too much energy on take downs so I always used ones that use little energy. Ankle pick is a great one. To set it up you want the opposite arm from the ankle you’re going for around the neck. Play with him a bit and force him to put that foot forward by pulling him towards you. As soon as that foot comes your way you want to force his head towards his own ankle while pulling his ankle in towards you in like X type motion. Easy take down little effort. I also love the Iowa but it’s called something different everywhere. It’s basically a guillotine but your other arm goes under his armpit and across his back. Whichever way that arm is pointing you circle that way and jack his arm up until he spins to the ground. You’ll have one of the most solid halves in while his shoulders are down. Honestly I’ve tapped kids in wrestling using this pin when it’s in deep enough. Although I’m just a white belt these two have been extremely effective against other white belts and blue belts in my gym. Dope video man!

The throw / takedown at 2:32 would be classified as a harai goshi in judo. Uchi mata has tori's leg up between the legs of uke.

I mostly compete Gi, but I cross-train Judo and it's allowed me to absolutely dominate stand up rounds in rolling so far. Can't wait to deploy it at my next competition. Stellar wrestling

You are pretty darn good at your martial arts, but so are LOADS of people. The reason I love your channel is because you are ridiculously good at explaining what is going on as the match goes. With the Olympics coming up, would you consider doing commentary video of the wrestling?

Great job Josh! Always enjoy watching your progression - especially in things you (most people) are uncomfortable with - wrestling. Its typically a brutal sport that most people that are good at have supernatural ability. Most aren't cut out for wrestling, but you made it look easy with 60 days of hard work, great!

Where do you train? Let's do a Josh v Josh session 🫶🤝

One of my favorite videos by you, I have nothing against guard but I am glad you decided to work on your stand up and take down game.

Man, this video made me want to study wrestling more.

Getting ready for my first comp. The beginning of the video is so relatable 😅

Really well done, but wow that sucks losing to the guy because the ref thought you tapped. Would love to see more of this in the future!

Dope bro. Love seeing you evolve more and more

So great to see you challenging yourself, that means you evolve in jj

Its hilarious that you put a paragraph over your face at the end 😂😂😂

6:26 oof,that looked rough

Nice mate, this was both educational and enjoyable to watch. Thanks

No.1 wrestling defense in jiu-jitsu: run out of bounce.

My favorite bjj KZfaqr. Thanks for the content!

Well done. That's great progress for 60 days.

2:31 is a harai goshi, uchi matas sweep the inside leg not the far leg. Good vid tho!

Hi josh! Nice to see your progress. Btw around 2:30 thats a harai goshi "sweeping hip throw" variation and not uchi mata. ☺️💪

Nah I wrestle all the time and you look great. You broke it down and learned good concepts

I would look at more wizards when someone has your leg. It allows you to regain control and puts a lot of pressure on the opponent.

Beautiful wrestling Josh! Remember watching your first video and you have grown immensely everywhere. Keep on keeping on bro

Its insane that even grappling with another style you are such a beast.

Started doing wrestling once a week myself and just that alone has made such a difference ..

Awesome proud of you man seing you start to work on takedowns and finally become the man you were meant to be

You made major improvements with your wrestling in just a couple months.

Good job josh u did greatttt

Congrats on standing up! I hope you keep this up because this is exactly how you improve as a fighter. It'd be fun to see you join a beginner wrestler or judo tournament with your jiu jitsu skills

Good job Josh! I am also not the best at wrestling so you’re not alone! You have gotten a lot better! Good luck!

Uchi mata and the chin whip are both great counters to single legs. Neither takes a whole lot of skill. Wrestling style o goshi is my favorite takedown. Once you have them loaded on your hips, it doesn't matter how good they are, and you know whether or not you're going to get the throw from the moment you cross step. Also, if someone ever tries to hip toss you, drop your hips below theirs and body lock.

I really liked this video! I like seeing how you focus on the various elements of your game. My gym hardly does any standup, but I really think its a super fun aspect of the sport. Well done!

As a coach that teaches grappling I tell my students .Wrestling is more than a series of moves it's a mind set and that mind set is to never give into the inferior position and give up on your shot Oss.Great video really enjoyed .

good shit to see man

I’ve been focusing on wrestling for the last 6 months and it’s more difficult that I thought. It’s also exhausting

Please make absolute miracle merch😂😂😂

Man I Like your Videos! Good job!!

Respect dude, it seems simple yet effective standing game

Youre the goat josh. My Fav grappler KZfaqr

Really enjoyed this ....

I stopped pulling myself years ago, was hoping you’d work duck unders

SO THERE IS HOPE FOR ME!! 🎉 😂

Great work my man.

another 60 days please

Awesome video man :)

I love ur vids and bjj

At 2:30 Ken throws you with an osotogari not an Uchi mata. Glad you’ve been stepping up that takedown game though. Looking good bud 👍

Good on ya. Amazing progress for 60 days imo

Not sure if this is what you meant but you only receive a negative for pulling guard in adcc overtime and finals regulation! 🤗🤗

The ref didn’t say stop, your opponent had mind control over you, he told you and you did it 😂

OMG robin at Tenth planet? Wouldn't have thought I'd ever see the day.

Great video

It’s good to know both, pulling down guard and to wrestle. Wrestling is very useful in jiu jitsu, but it’s unfortunately way less effective against way heavier and bigger opponent, since in wrestling weight matters a lot. You would never see an absolute division in wresting. Pulling Gard works well against them, and also against good wrestler but you gotta learn to pull it well, not just sitting on floor. Instead, force them to come in your close guard or whatever the guard you feel good into.

I applaud your willingness to fill in weaknesses and that attitude is needed to push jiujitsu forward out of its current awkward state. But if we are ever going to get good at standing grappling we have to stop learning from people who suck at it. Jiujitsu people are trash on their feet. The people everyone claims are really good are terrible. The only reason their dorky nonsense works is because everyone else sucks too.

That trip at 6:25 was so good!

That’s quite a nice elbow pass single.

So when passing the arm over, you can shoot for any leg? Great video

The best tip i got is to get physically strong enough to actually do the wrestling techniques.

great work josh!

Hello josh I just wanted to know where you train I want to get as good as you one day

I like

Amazing!

That guy that Kimura’d you had been training for ever 😂 he shouldn’t be in that division

when you get that single leg, before you start trying to pull him down you should try to step forward and put your foot in between his leg AND THEN step back with your other leg, thats how i learned to do the single leg and it works super well

I want to see you in the gi more

at 2:30 the throw was not an uchi mata it was osoto gari

It would be amazing if you'd come down to institute of jiu-jitsu bangalore 😎

LOL, not Vegeta

How come 1st place guy lost one but gets first, but you only lost one too, but get 3rd?

nice improvement

Also look at more fire man carry

An important lesson here is that getting a good takedown game means you'll usually be up on points

Watch both highlight reels and instructional videos from Jon Smith if you want to be an expert at finishing shots. Think like Bruce Lee, use what works from his techniques as they apply to your BJJ game, ditch the stuff that doesn't work. Trial and error will be part of the learning curve but I guarantee learning a lot of what Jon Smith is a master of will greatly help your takedown game when it comes to finishing shots, especially single legs. Hell, I'd even love to see a BJJ artist who loves pulling guard learn to apply Jon Smiths low single techniques to BJJ.

2:30 harai goshi*

Could you try greco-roman wrestling?

Love your Vids but i think you should make them bit longer.Not like days but more of a fotage.Anyways great content ideas

I am horrible at takedowns, but I'm better at passing than bottom guard so I have to become better at wrestling

Danahar said "Why would you ignore 50% of the body". So, why would you ignore 50% of grappling???

Some scenes look dirty

How are you able to compete so often? Do you travel a lot?

I'm a judo/wrestling guy dabbling in jiujitsu, so it's funny to see the opposite direction. I'm curious on what your opinion is on duck-unders in jiu-jitsu? Not sure if it's guillotine hazard or if you think it transitions well to something like arm-triangle etc.?

No way the guy in the saian armor rash guard was a purple belt

You should pass by jiulivre. Its been awhile since I've rolled against you.

2:30 is not uchi mata its harai goshi

He threw you w harai goshi not uchi mata

Please explain how the guy you beat got 1st even with round robin rules??

Do you feel like the wrestling helped in the other parts of your game?

YEAAAHHH BUDDDDY

In my tourni I got 3 I got a triangle both of my fights

How does the 17 years old boy get a first medal? You won by point how he got first ???

Keep that head up when shooting!!! Best advice from me is to just go to a real wrestling club for some months, so you really get the hang of it. Then you can turn back to jits or just staying at wrestling like real men, just kidding 💪💪💪

do you only train no gi?

how your a purple belt at 17 years old

If you want a good reason to not guard pull watch Pride, people on their butts get soccer kicked, stomped and smashed, sport BJJ is getting ridiculous, didn't see rickson gracie ever sit his butt down 😅 😅

Loses one match and gets 3rd 😢

pulling guard is not real , you cant do that in self defense so you shouldn't train it for competition , you'll develop bad habits that you WILL go straight too when put under pressure and get wrecked , pull guard on asphalt against a wrestler( or someone with a basic knowledge of how to stay on top like a bouncer) once and tell me how that goes for you .

Round robin rules are BS
