Wrestling for Jiu Jitsu - (ADCC BJJ Analysis)

jake you have done incredible work man already signed into your database! one thing you should consider also in "wrestling for jiu jitsu" is the wrestle ups and people lowering their level just like nikcy rod does (see match against owen) in order to shoot for the legs .
Either sitting on "sprint" position shooting for opponents legs or on their butt to luring the opponent coming into them

A whole lot of excuses for justifying being scared of take downs.

Wow remarkable work! thank you

Danaher is such a self righteous tool bag. I bet he only breathes his own farts.

The true art of grappling is combining these two sports. Take down to a submission.

Great breakdown, like always!

Using foot sweeps, circling behind is the best way to deal with people bigger and stronger. Having someone 50+ pounds sprawl on top of you is not good. What an exceptionally put together video!

Excellent breakdowns brother. Where can I find the database? I tried checking the site

Thanks for posting! I'm very impressed.

I find wrestling makes the biggest difference in scrambles.

You’ll go down in Jiujitsu history for what you’ve done on this channel. 🎉

This was a wonderful video to watch. In full depth ad still interesting from the first second to the end. Applause for that!

Fat Perez shout-out was glorious

I paid for submeta to study front headlock, dogfight and turtle. Thank you for these findings.

Collegiate Wrestlers are getting sprawled on by other collegiate wrestlers.

Sounds like old school gracie challenge stuff. If you're up against someone who's not a wrestler, take down, take back or mount, finish. If you're the inferior wrestler you'll usually win if you have a good guard, choke, Sweep, submission game. In no gi it seems like heel hooks are the way to go but some knowledgeable people have said if hands were thrown usually leg attacks are a bad idea.

Very interesting overview, and I agree that upper body takedowns (throws, foot sweeps, slide by etc.) are better for a specific ruleset like ADCC where getting points from a takedown is almost impossible if defending opponent turtles). Did you do maybe a separate study for overtimes? When there is no guard pull?

My two cents:

- I would say people get caught in guillotines because they don't use setups when going for a takedowns (if you want to be good at wrestling, you need to learn how to setup takedowns) and also, they end up in guard because of that (how many times do top level MMA fighters end in full guard after a takedown, for example Khabib?)
- I would also argue that dog fight, front headlock and turtle also require some sort of takedown initiative (that might require more setup on a higher level), you can't just grab headlock and work from there (e.g. opponent has 2 on 1, how will you get headlock unless you learn how to handfight your way out?)
- Another thing, this is not wrestling and opponents can avoid fighting much more, go to freestyle and 90% of them would be penalized in 15 seconds (so you can't just shoot blindly but need to setup takedowns since opponent is basically running away)

Also, you focused a lot on ADCC (that is big focus by bigger gyms as well like New Wave, B-Team etc...). What about smaller level competitions? E.g. if I score a takedown and opponent defends I might get a point or advantage under AJP rules for example, matches are shorter, not everyone allows heel hook. This analysis is done on the highest level possible, but what about some blue belt that doesn't have to think about heel hooks in the competition and with takedown is leading 2 points?


In ADCC if opponent goes for a takedown you can defend by turtling = 0 points.
Go to some other rules (where most people still compete) and you will get a point or advantage for that (which means, you are winning at that point)...

Love it. Keep up the good work ! You are the revolutionary!

I would be interested to see a similar analysis but for MMA, because with ground and pound it could change the importance of top position a lot

Amazing, you are a scholar of BJJ

First time seeing this channel great work! Just subscribed looking forward to more

just commenting to appreciate all the research and work went into this video. amazing work dude, keep it up!

I love these studies and position analysis ❤ thanks for the research and putting this together!

Epic video

Damn ! What a fkn video. Database too shiet 😂

I do Japanese jiu jitsu it’s pretty fun but the closest I know to wrestling is Krav Maga and judo

Bjj lovers won't get it but to reality does't care your ideas just facts.
Sambo is the best!
Just look to Islam and Oliveira.

can I help you with the data analytics for this project? i love bjj and data :)

I think working on set ups will provide more favorable results in jiujitsu than wrestling since jiujitsu athletes don’t have collegiate level wrestling defense, my my quick 2 cents

Good stuff

This is some serious nerd BJJ stuff, and I love it. Good work!

You should consider charging a small monthly or one time fee for that tool!

It's going to take a lot of work and potentially provide a lot of value.

Dude I never comment but this video deserves it. Keep up the good work!

At the highest levels of chess they do not even make it to end game because they have set themselves up so well

Really good video.

Change the rules. P*ssies should not be rewarded. BJJ has to keep relevant in fighting or it will become TKD. Fight relenance = takedown/mount

Bro this is pure gold. Thanks for the time you put in

Outstanding video my man i’m a d1 wrestler tryna transition. Awesome to see that the takedowns could hurt me more than help, gotta gameplan better

No training is bad, but the 5+ years of wrestling it will take to be a really good BJJ player at the 1-2 year level isn't used correctly. Just dedicate 5+ years at BJJ and remember that wrestling doesn't matter outside of high school.

I'm assuming all of these data and matches are from very high level grapplers/BJJ guys. What difference do you think would be at a beginner level like white belt? Somebody on Reddit wrote that beginners don't have a developed guard or ground game. I suppose there's less data for that and would be harder to factually analyze, but as a beginner wrestler I'm interested in your opinion: if I were to face a white belt in a grappling match, would I do better with good standing takedowns, as the opposite of this video's conclusion?

very high quality analysis. I'm eager to see the database, will be very helpful

No it doesn't, wrestling doesn't win fights, Submitions do.

If you do the take down stat for bad shots, just look at the last minute of each match. It will have a dramatically higher number of failed shots.

Snake Pit teaches that figure 4 grip on the single leg. Kade did it kinda lazy.

Truly outstanding analysis. Awesome.

Super helpful breakdown. Please continue this work. I liked and subscribed to support you

Amazing!
