That's a classic knee tap, a high percentage move especially if your opponent has height on you. Saying that it doesn't work says you've never wrestled a day in your life
@@jackjack4412 can be if your opponent has a good Guillotine but with proper posture (keeping head up and back straight after entry) and strong neck Guillotine can be easily avoided. Even if you do get caught there are plenty of ways to guard pass and escape the Guillotine.
Mma guy at my gym who mostly wrestles likes to do this. He’ll throw a lot of over hands and then switch to one of these so that you shell up or try to retreat, making it easier to finish
People who comment that are just so clueless and clearly have no grappling experience because anyone who is familiar with grappling knows it 100% works.
Well, in grappling nothing really works at all. That's why you've got multiple follow ups for every technique. Yeah, you can counter any technique, but then you're feeding yourself into the game. Decent chance that if I'm using it in a comp, I've already seen four different ways to counter my shit and if I'm lucky I've got answers to two or three of those counters. If nothing you're doing is getting shut down on the regular... You're training at the wrong place.
@@whatyouknowboutme I mean.... I don't think most of the people that say "X doesn't work" are training at all, mate. As I said in my previous post... It all works... It all fails. The one who knows more ways that their game can fail will usually be the one to come out on top.
Just a tip, You’re heads way to high you’re probably strong it’s why you’re pulling it off but with knee taps you want your head either in their chest like a Bull rushing, or in the quad/hip area, look at GSP head placement it’s more towards quad, when you’re towards outside armpit it’s less leverage but great work man and keep drilling!!
Traditionally yes, but he is also deep on a single to begin with. For me, I like to try this as an easy way to get someone down without any chance of being sprawled on. It’s like a quick hitter option. Not super high % rate, but very low risk, high reward. If it doesn’t work, I then have to commit to something more investing. Appreciate the comment man!!
Iranian knee tap. This move won the Olympics. Hassan yazdani uses this move as his signature. Implementing it into my training has been a game changer once you really get the mechanics down. Good stuff.
I think what they’re saying is, the drill looked easy cuz he opponent was falling like Akido demonstration. Bj put up a fight and it looked a lot better and u can understand the mechanics of the move better.
Nice job. Both moves work. Though GSP isn’t performing a typical knee pick here. He’s rotating while he runs the opponent down which further prevents hopping and prevents the opponent from hoping backwards to the cage where a straight knee block/pick wont be effective. It’s a hybrid takedown.
Not so a hybrid takedown because that's not a thing but what he did do was jus adjust the takedown so the opponent did go down , prolly not an actual move jus something he did while going for the knee pick but if it's something he has practiced it would be called a variation bc it's the same move jus done differently
@@Walker_MMA He wasn’t going for a knee pick initially, it’s a response to Thiagos effective use of the whizzer on the single leg and being pulled upwards. And it is something they trained. You’re not adding any technical value to conversation and instead you’re just speculating to be disagreeable.
@@DarkArtsDeepDive you didnt really disprove anything I said brother what you described going from one takedown to another is called CHAIN WRESTLING , n i litterally could say the same thing where i could say ur just speculating about him training that and not jus gsp being good at CHAIN WRESTLING , were u at his training camp watching him practice this exact sequence before this fight, i highly doubt it , its more likely he was practicing chain wrestling which helped him have good reactions from going to one takedown to another. Just being good at chain wrestling is a lot more reliable than training for certain takedown sequences to appear. What i was adding to ur statement was that you misread the situation due to lack of knowledge you thought gsp was doing a "hybrid takedown" whatever that instead he was actually chain wrestling most likely and like I said even if he trained for this very sequence it would be called a variation. I'm jus using real grappling vocab
@@Walker_MMA Again, with the assumptions…. I’m not speculating I’m quoting John Danaher. And again, you haven’t added anything to the conversation or the situation we watched. It’s a hybrid takedown because it’s combining finishing elements of 2 separate takedowns, the corkscrew finish to a double leg and the behind the back finish to the knee block. You’re welcome brother 👍
This used to be one of my wrestling bread and butters cuz I was so lanky. Getting an underhook instead of a crossface with the other arm let’s you yeet em pretty good
If you watch belator a fighter who in my opinion does it best is nick NyQuil brown. Legit fighter out of small city in pa he hits it in training all the time and even in his pro fights.
Remember this y'all were ever the head gose the body will follow if u don't know wat Im talking bout it's like this if u push someones head to the left the body I'll go the same way if u pull it down the the floor it will go to the floor as well
