Proven BJJ Competition Strategy against a Strong Wrestler
How do you deal with the Takedown aspect of a Wrestler who’s in a Grappling competition and/or what do you do when someone’s better at take downs?
As a Wrestler who got into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. I can tell you that I used to put a lot of focus on takedowns.
When I would go to a BJJ competition. I would do everything I could in order to get on top of the person.
Oftentimes if someone pulled me into Guard it kind of sucked the wind out of my sails. I wouldn’t have the points for getting the takedown and it took away my forward momentum.
Takedown Strategy in a BJJ Competition Against a Better Wrestler
In this video I respond to a question from Cassie who has a son, Ryan, who has been competing in local superfight BJJ matches.
His matches have been going well but she’s now noticing that the area gyms are offering more wrestling in their Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training. And their gym does not offer it.
The question from them is how do you approach a situation in a competition when your opponent has superior takedowns.
Chad and I both show options as to how we deal with this situation in BJJ tournaments or competitions.
The main idea is to converse your energy on the feet and save it for once you get to the ground. In my case I use a Guard Pull into Half Guard for the sweep.
If you like the details shown in the video and would like to have more options on your feet. Both for takedowns themselves or aggressive style guard pulls.
