How Elite Wrestlers use the Russian Tie for BJJ / MMA 

Sounds like you know exactly what you are looking for! Glad you liked this, it is another awesome tutorial from the excellent Lyubo Kumbarov, easily one of my favourite people on this channel!! You are more than welcome, it is always a pleasure spending time with people as great as this!

Very smart to explore the 2 on 1,it gives so many peoplea hard time because it's not so common in BJJ or even wrestling,especially in the West.

@anonymous Lyubo Kumbarov and there are instructions on www.warriorcollective.co.uk

burger with double cheese,some steaks,and cocoa cola with ice yes bratha

Hey, great to hear it is come in so useful! You are more than welcome!!

Yes. If you follow wrestling (I do) you will see the 2 on 1 to single leg many, many times. It is a critical bread and butter move.

Anyways awesome vid 👍

We always try!!

Got a lot more coming, ;-)

JSL: Yes, these are extremely advanced variations on the technique. I wrestled for 6 years and my son is an accomplished high school wrestler, and I have never seen a takedown off a Russian 2 on 1 to a Kimura. My old training partner (Jay White) used a Kimura to takedown and submit an opponent in an MMA fight, but it was not set up with the Russian 2 on 1. I also follow Olympic wrestling and have not seen it. On the other hand, I have seen the 2 on 1 used for the single leg about a million times. The 2 on 1 is an absolutely fantastic technique, it gives you total control over your opponent. However, all my wrestling experience has been US based. It is very possible that this technique is used in Bulgaria, and Kumbarov is a 100% legit wrestling coach. Also, my old partner (Jay) who has tapped about a zillion black belts and is a multi PanAm and NAGA champion says that Roger is the best he ever rolled against.

I would imagine when you watch the Olympic you mostly watch the freestyle wrestling where 2 on 1 is not dominant but even in that style, there are wrestlers that use the 2 on 1 for the uchimata position quite successfully. You can even see the uchi-mata thrown done from 2 on 1 in folkstyle wrestling. You might want to check earn your gold medal, he does a great breakdown of 2 on 1 and uchimata used in the ncaa wrestling. Now when you go to greco roman wrestling they are really the expert of 2 on 1. One guy that is amazing at this is Ismael Borrero @@seanreed9472

It is on it's way ;-)

There a lot of counters to the guillotine from 2 on 1. Some people will keep their head low when having the 2 on 1 so the opponent reaches from the neck. From there you have a duck under and an arm throw from fireman's position

Lyubo is truly phenomenal, one of the best coaches I have ever met!! Glad you liked this great video from him!

that russian move to named obviv or entvine - setup to russian trow obviv,

For sure!

Controlling your opponent is the number 1 purpose of the 2 on 1. It enables you to move him wherever you want, and thus secure the takedown. It is also a great self defense move.

not wrong i think it is banned technique :)

It is a fair question but I am going to edge more towards answering No on this. It would be hard to strike from this position in Muay Thai and most of the takedowns etc you can hit from here would not be allowed either!

Stuart Tomlinson I meant if its an mma match and the opponent uses a thai clinch by getting both of his hands behind your neck would this defense still work to free yourself from the clinch-hold?

Yes, it would work. Also the duck under is another wrestling technique that is great for countering the thai clinch.

@@MGRA1996 the wrist is too far hidden behind your head it would be hard to pull off clean. I'd say either pop one of their arms up and attack a duck under or as soon as they grab the clinch step in so you're chest to chest and grab a body lock look for a body lock throw or a leg sweep

@@MGRA1996 Yes, absolutely. The primary purpose of the 2 on 1 is to break the clinch and then control your opponent. If I have the 2 on 1 locked in properly it will be impossible for you to hit me. I had tremendous success with this technique when I was a doorman/bouncer. If you study Dumog you will also see that they us variations of this technique, and Dumog is 100% self defense, zero sport.

If you have secured the 2 on 1 properly it is impossible for your opponent to clinch.

Seen it many times in the UFC its also reactions and instinctual nobody just only goes for Russian ties

@@starlord2858 please name a single UFC fight it's been used in. Or any.

practice

I have done that now Sir ;-)

Stuart Tomlinson perfect. As a sales man thought me is keep is short and simple. Kiss

I thought it was significant that he introduce the red belt he was with. Bump it up to 8 sec.
