I contrast the fireman's carry against upper body trips and throws to show the advantage it has of being a high reward yet a low risk wrestling technique I do not own the footage used in the video
My dude, fyi you are a better technique analyst than any I have come across in wrestling media. You are better than Mike Mal in my opinion. Your wrestlers are lucky to have you, and I seriously expect that you should be seeing some interest from Flo in the near future.
Thanks man that means a lot. If I could do some work for Big Ten Network and Flo as like an independent contractor that would be great. I could never get locked into only one media source though because I would be giving up too much film
@@earnyourgold I hear you on that definitely. I can't help imagining how awesome it would be if you had your own broadcast during events, kind of like the Manning brothers do with an overall breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses of each wrestler. Not only would it lend greater to the surprise when different things happen, like the way we would feel when our teammates hit something funky, it gives a much better feel for the evolution wrestlers go through throughout the season. With the attention to detail that you give and the way you are able to research the evolution of different wrestler's technique, knowing that as part of the intro to different matches I think would make wrestling matches MUCH more interesting. Myself even being a far greater than casual fan, watching a match and knowing what guys are good at and might be doing beings it to the level of watching a football game, which IMO is a far more involved and engaging than random wrestling matches many times. Just a dream. I think it would be awesome, I'd Patreon the daylights out of something like that.
Yeah a lot of wrestlers don't have the best IQ and situational awareness. I've seen kids get lat dropped with 5 seconds left when they were up by 3-4 points because they're hanging out in the over/under position. I never understood that
I love watching these videos, I think I have watched your entire channel. It’s great to see you in the corner! My only suggestion is putting your personal video bottom right so you don’t block the typical location of the scorecard for match footage. Best breakdown channel period
This was a fire analysis. I’ve seen all these matches but didn’t realize all of the intricacies of one person beating another who beats another, that beat the first person through these moves. Crazy.
Couldn't agree more. Have been doing the same analysis with fireman carry and concluded it is a very low risk high reward move. Spencer Lee's fireman series is the best I've seen.
amazing breakdown as always. when watching these matches live it's so easy to miss who initiated and who's countering with these inside/outside trip attacks
Yeah it is 100%. I didn't even notice at first that iMar was the one who went for the outside trip first. I didn't catch that until I started making this video. At the time I was just amazed that he got pinned by Cenzo
I don't comment much or claim to be good at this internet lol but this is one of the best wrestling videos I've seen in a lot of ways from commentary to analysis the video breakdowns and I wrestled so to you sir I say good job two points take down
All of his videos are amazing and Im not even a wrestler per say. Just a regulsr guy that watches wrestling and grapples a few times a week. His insight on all these videos is just above and beyond
@@talktolee I've been watching DPS Breakdowns for years man. He's really good. Focuses more on his Instagram than his RU-vid now though which makes sense
My go to takedown in HS. If I did not get the leg, I would just lean back with my head while holding onto arm......this brought competitor to mat. If they tried to counter by stepping over I could turn them. If they didn't step over, I would loosen the arm grip and go behind them.
Great video! Risk vs.reward! Desanto loved the firemans,and used it a ton,and scored alot with it! Very seldom was the risk vs. Reward on a fireman's, was there much risk if done properly! RBY would wrestle DeSantis with his hand behind his back,to prevent a firemans.Like the break downs.All big upper body moves if countered correctly have high risk.Also the most exciting move in the sport! Being from Illinois I've watched Gomez alot,he's always liked the big upper body move, RE(YANNI) Win! But being small in stature,he does get caught once in a while! I've yet to see him pinned on the move tho.His strength& speed allow him to turn quick enough.! But giving up 6 is a big deficit in folk style especially.
Thank you. And Gomez is electric. It's crazy to me that he can wrestle so hard for 7 minutes while performing those big throws because those take a lot of you. Way more than shots do
Nice job buddy, I do think with the the double/unders if you can really elevate the hooks and drop to the body lock it becomes a safer, less threatening position, with a high probability of scoring.
Thank you and yeah I agree. Especially f if you're the taller wrestler. That position becomes even better. Didn't mean to discourage people for using it. Just showing that no matter how comfortable you are in it, someone can catch you from it
Couple of things, but largely move with the momentum/force. What you do is based, in part, on what is given to you. They are forcing a downwards pressure so moving low is an option. Their sameside leg as your underhook is there you can drop to a single or even inside trip, far side leg is there you can ankle/knee pick, they bring their hips far away and bend over you have a snap down, as the pressure goes down you drop for a body lock if their other elbow is open and you keep your hips in or limp arm and arm drag, if their are circling a number of trips and foot sweeps open up and even an arm drag on the far side. You can use any one of these and improve position and you can plan for their defense and make countering their defense your actual goal/move which opens up so many more things
Bud!I love your channel but I have a little bit different interpretation of these matches see in judo we have 3 parts of the throw the final part is called the "kake" thats the snappy part....see Brooks got bagged not because of the position but because Bo snapped his throw first, Brooks could have inside tripped Bo with a violent snap or kake ...jodo has a bit more advanced technology on throws
Sorry for the late response man. A lot of these positions are definitely decided by who pulls the trigger first. I wish judo was more common in America. I've been watching Dimitri Gamkrelidze (165lber for Binghamton) who's a 2x Judo National Champ and he's terrorizing people from the over/under position
I played the double under game. The Trip is the risky part. If you do a throw by or body lock you are safe. Double overs is very risky like you can see. I think the fireman is not a good move. I stuff it all day long put i never allowed a overhook control. The only way i was taken down was with a very solid single. I wish I knew the funk roll but I don't think any did it back when i wrestled.
Of course it’s relative to where you’re located in the Country, but I would most definitely not consider those a fireman’s carry. Those are dumps. A dump is a lot easier move than a fireman’s carry. This was my “Go to” move in HS. Highly effective.
Thank you and I think most of my viewers are jiu jitsu guys, coaches and parents. It's wild how little high school kids study film. That's all I did in school. Learned so much from watching videos on Big Ten Network
Personally I don’t believe a fireman carry is particular in grappling. It can work however the position gives up your backside too much which is a high risk.
4:50 wait a minute he had it but made a huge mistake in judo you keep your toe on mat and bash him w your knee...see Yarden Gerbi on ouchi gari...he simply did the move wrong!
