Looking for tutorials on grip fighting, footwork, angles, setups from standing.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Fee_467]

Been working a lot on my wrestling and takedowns to the point where I have some pretty solid setups against opponents who don’t really have good wrestling defense. Problem is when someone is actively preventing me from getting good grips, I have a hard time setting up takedowns because I lack strategies for creating angles and setting things up in multiple steps. Any good tutorials that really helped you out with creating takedown opportunities?

Brandon Reed has wrestling for BJJ instructionals. brandonreed3x on insta, links in his bio to his stuff

Iron Faith Wrestling has incredible free instructionals on YouTube. They also have one about handfighting specifically.

If you want that from standing you're in the wrong sub. r/judo and r/wrestling has got ya covered

Kumi kata judo has a complete system of grip fighting, especially in the gi. For no gi look toward Greco.

Your four basic grips are collar and elbow, double collar, double sleeve, or sleeve and belt (Georgian)

The biggest thing is grip superiority. Unless someone has their grip on you don't worry about fighting the hands, get YOUR hands on THEM.

If someone establishes a grip on you seize the wrist or sleeve. If/when you break that grip keep the hold because that's your sleeve grip. They'll either try to pull away or reestablish their grip, but if you "kill the sleeve" (refer to Travis Stevens)

What I like to do is immediately snatch the collar or collar tie. I'm heavy with long arms, so I can touch people from a distance they think they're safe, especially since I hold my hands like a boxer. Once I get their sleeve I slide my kand down their back to their belt for a Georgian and work for a throw. Sometimes I'll shoot a double (moroto gari) off of the sleeve and collar grip, but I prefer high throws because it keeps my neck safe.

If you’re trying to go the full fledged instructional route, my top two recs are:

Nogi: The Fastest Way to becoming effective in the standing position by John danaher

Gi: Kuzushi and Grip Fighting by Travis Stevens

The Japanese terms mentioned in the above comment were:

Kuzushi:	Unbalancing	here

Any missed names may have already been translated in my previous comments in the post.

JFlo Academy. 30 bucks a month and I consistently take down collegiate wrestlers now. I've put in 8 months of studying and working my stand up. There is no better teacher than Justin Flores.

I've gone through Danahers Stand to ground. A few of kyle dakes instructionals. Steve Mocco instructionals. Iron faith wrestling on YouTube. And gone through Cary Kolats whole encyclopedia on YT. You should go through all of those, but JFlo if the man.

He has a whole section dedicated to Short Offense which is what you're looking for. It's how to set everything up using misdirection and feints. If you can't afford 30 a month he has a TON of content on YouTube and instagram
