Second slam was nice but he choked himself into a reverse choke. Dude in black shirt had no hands and wanted to take to the ground plus they both had on slippers and was sliding..

Video is absolutely terrible and would be corrected day 1 if you walked on the mat doing some shyt like that. :mjlol: If someone is committing to an actual single /double leg, you are done for anyways and shouldn't be fighting strangers. But on the real, if you are inexperienced your best defense is to sprawl as much as possible while attempting to push their head down, ideally with your body, but as a beginner just focus on keeping their head down. You can maneuver towards the side if possible, so push the head down and away for you to get away. Your entire goal should be sprawl, keep their head down, and looking for an exit.





But as I said, if an actual wrestler has your leg, you are done for, you need to be focussing on protecting your head and getting from under them, because they have essentially already taken you down, the next step is just positioning you properly to do what they want.


edit: And a takedown isn't supposed to hurt, it's about positioning. That slam in the OP video was a bit silly because depending on how you land, you forfeit positioning, of course he gets away with it because most will be shocked upon being slammed and won't have the experience to scramble following an uncontrolled slam like that.

I knew this was coming.. this was not a fight on a mat and these were not wrestlers. In a different setting you can reasonably expect to be slammed. I could easily have picked any number of mat videos on youtube... but I'll let y'all pro wrestlers have it.

Bro, c'mon now. You know a barber's wrestling technique in a fight inside his shop should be critiqued along the same standards as professional and Olympic wrestlers. The next time he's in a fight, and there's a professional wrestling coach observing, he's totally gonna get points deducted because his technique is lacking. Better a wrestling coach than a coli user though, they accept nothing but perfection

It's the exact same approach, bro, I wrestled since I was a kid. The approach doesn't change if it's a street fight or on the mat for competition. You 100% control the head. What you saw in the video you posted is literally corrected the 1st or 2nd day of training. The guy in your video doesn't know what the fukk he was talking about, at all. I can, and will complete the takedown from the defense he is showing, it doesn't stop the takedown. It doesn't stop forward momentum, it's why you stuff the head, the body can only go where the head is, that's day 1 wrestling. So by sprawling, and stuffing the head, the opponent can only go down, from there, he most likely won't let go of your leg, fine, further stuff his head and circle out.

In a street fight 100% focus on sprawling. THAT IS KEY, focus on a full sprawl and try to circle out while stuffing their head. The slam in the OP was dumb as hell, if the guy does that to you, be happy, note in the OP video, the idiot lost top control, if the other guy knew a lick of grappling he would have scrambled, secured top, and started raining punches down on that moron.

The guy in the OP video was goofy, he lost control with his silly slam, I have noted this in my original post. If you are going to slam like a goof, better a controlled slam that secures position upon making contact with the ground. But I'm not focusing on him, I'm focusing on the stupid video in response, the video that guy posted in response, NO, that is not how you stuff a takedown, AT ALL. Doesn't matter if it's street or in competition, you don't need to be olympic level to stuff a takedown properly, that is taught day one.

Yall in here talking about the barbers fighting technique like he didn't walk away with the W..

This is a street fight not a sanctioned boxing match

"Bu bu but all dude did was grapple:damn:"

Then learn how to grapple then:stopitslime:
Notice the barber barely got hit though:wow:

That's the poster I replied to as well.
