This is as good or better than every other technique breakdown out there. Multiple examples, you point out what is common among the holds as well as the slight differences, and you don't do too much slow motion. Good effort.
@@earnyourgold I agree,most slow it down too often which does not really help when it gets sped up. Plus others stop the film for way too long IMO while they talk. You also show multiple examples which is on point.
Bruh, this wrestler is amazing -- as I mostly follow college and some high school I'd never heard of him. Equally wonderful, is your breakdown of the method.
This shot really works on wrestlers who are quick to react with a sprawl. His levels are already low so there's minimal time for his opponents to react.
Reminds me of how a dog or wolf circles to get an advantageous angle, going to all fours definitely accentuates this. Perhaps there's inspiration for a name somewhere in that.
I've watched most of those matches but you pointed several things I was totally unaware of, like his faking going all the to the ground after being snapped so he can do his lunge. Good analysis
I love the way he waits for his opponent to just start to retract after they react. It provides him with just a blink of time which is enough. I remember I would train in an open wrestling club there was this 112 guy and he moved like this it's just very difficult to defend against.
@@earnyourgold well you have made a great start. Ive been a wrestler and grappler since I was 9 years old (40 years) and I really appreciate your breakdowns. The sport has changed SOOOOOO MUCH.
Thanks man. I started off just making them for the kids on my team, but I’ve been getting a lot of good feedback, so I’m going to try to grow it into a full channel
This was great. Almost like a “sloppy” high crotch. I love how he goes on all 4s. It makes the opponent take a step forward putting the weight on the front foot.
3:50 he is able to hit it from so far out because he is fast, the move is a little sneaky, but also because his opponent is in no position to react with his feet crossed.
My son's main influences on his feet are John Smith and J'Den Cox. I think he would love this approach as well. He spends a lot of time on his knees and faking before shooting.
@@earnyourgold that's a common misconception. Both J'Den Cox AND John Smith were heavily reliant on fakes/feints. Makes you look a lot more athletic then you really are.
@@Leveer13 very true. Jordan Burroughs also talks about that. Says his timing ability is underrated because everyone just assumes he’s just super quick and athletic
@@earnyourgold I have listened to J'Den explain his side-side fakes and footwork on his Fanatic Wrestling DVD and at clinics, everyone ignores him. (Except me.) John Smith had his level change fakes. Both of them prefer not to tie up at all if they don't have to. This is a quick little video of my son. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--enaKhMjh4Q.html
It’s not a vulnerable position. A turtle position on all 4’s is actually a very stable position and difficult to break down. The problems come if you go into turtle but one of your limbs is compromised.
@@heatto162 There is no point in which Musukaev is vulnerable to being cradled. He's strong in the four point position. When he shoots, his head goes to the outside as a kind of low single-high crotch. The only "speed" that matters, is the speed he gets from being in lower position, and then waiting for his opponent to fall into the trap and stay within his range in an upright position.
@@heatto162 lol gonna gave to disagree there he’s very stable and the cradle is at no point a threat Even if you could somehow lock it up when he’s close on the attack he’s definitely powerful enough that it would pose no real danger
Unlike BJJ which is very monotonic, wrestling is really multifaceted. BJJ moves are very predictable cause it is almost always trying to attack the opponent's center of gravity from the front. The lateral movements in wrestling are what killing BJJ easily. Not only can't BJJ attack the CG of a wrestler directly, the wrestler's lateral movement will always hit a BJJ guy's front leg. Judo is another story though, at least in theory. BTW, this guy's technique is basically attacking the opponent's front leg. As long as his opponent steps forward, he will have a front leg. Mussukaev basically just moves to the blind side of the opponent to attack his front leg (watch carefully at 2:22 the right leg movement of his opponent).
I train judo/bjj twice daily (also box) and REGRET TERRIBLY that I did not wrestle. As an adult there aren’t many options to learn wrestling, I’ve looked for private training willing to pay $80+ an hour and can’t find it! Judo is Greco Roman with a gi basically, but to learn wrestling I’m having to use RU-vid to learn. Btw, training keeps me clean but I was a heroin addict (off heroin since April 9th 2010) and did 5 years fed time. If you’re into prison stories and martial arts check my channel out, just started it.
i tell u what. We had a big boy in high school who had to cut weight to make heavyweight. He waS as round as a bowling ball but this boy was athletic. We spent years teaching him how to hit a low single (lmao) and i shit u not, when he was a senior we got him hittin low singles on other heavyweights. it was the greatest thing ive ever seen . (folkstyle wrestling)
2:22 there’s this explosiveness the second he’s on all fours to his shot. I’ve never seen explosiveness like that generated from a all fours position. Very cool and primal/animalistic movement.
Well when he does it he’s shooting from pretty far out. So either have the reaction time to react fast enough to stop it and watch film in order prepare for it, so you know what’s coming. People just don’t expect someone to shoot from that position
Henry Cejudo did something similar to this to set up his low single, You can find it in his Beat the Streets match. Would LOVE to see your thoughts. I love your breakdowns. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fQ4WhcefpNs.html
What would be the anatomy to excel in this move? it looks like you would need short legs for this, and an innate level of explosive ability to make this a signature move like muszukaiev
