When you’re going for takedowns in BJJ. What are you looking for? How do you decide which BJJ takedown to use?
Do you have a systematic approach to takedowns? Do you focus on looking for certain grips or adjustments from your opponent, or do you just lock up and cross your fingers that something will happen?
In this video I give a little insight into what I’m looking for personally on my feet when going for takedowns. Mainly I talk about how I determine the BJJ takedown I plan to use.
You’ll see, that just like any other position. I observe which grips i can secure and which grips my opponent gives me. From there I choose the best take down for the situation.
Often times. I see that most people don’t have a smart approach to takedowns in BJJ. They just lock up and move around until someone screws up. But yet on the ground they know exactly where they are going.
Likewise I try to give you some ideas on what you could look for when you’re on the feet in Brazilian Jiujitsu.
You’ll have to excuse me a bit as I was super hyper in this video. And I’m kind of all over the place.
But hopefully there is some good ideas for you to use for your own Brazilian Jiu-jitsu takedowns or BJJ training.
