Cradle system in a Gi
Every person i cradle at the gym has ever seen it before. Not even purple belts. I have both the gi and no gi course and they are chock full of great information
If you're a fan of compressing people then this is definitely going to add to your bag of tricks
Game changer! Control and Sub all day.
I always get to the cradle position but never knew what to do with it once there. wow. tons of things. my fav is the kimura now. coach Petrone does an excellent job of showing the techniques. highly recommend.
seeing this video has shown me a whole new aspect to add to my game. very informative
started wrestling. love to pin and control. good way to figure out the next thing and how to sub.
Excellent addition to my gi game. Make Jiujitsu violent again!
When I transitioned from wrestling to bjj the problem I ran into very early was (thank you Ricky Bobby) not knowing what to do with my hands! With this instructional I now am working all kinds of devastating ways to grip and manipulate the gi to some pretty awesome results. Bow and Arrow chokes are my particular flavor of the month after watching this.
great innovative system with unique ways of setting up chokes and utilizing the gi
Great !!!
Another great instructional of one of my favourite positions! And Now I can apply it in a Gi context. Awesome!
I always get to a near side cradle position bc I have long arms but never knee what to do once I have it locked up. I would just sit and hold the guy but I wasn’t advancing my position. This dvd is fantastic bc now I am hitting loop chokes and some lower body subs. Coach Petrone is fantastic and Vinny is a trooper. One tough kid. Thx coach! 5+ stars.
Great instructional. I love how strong the cradle is in the Gi. Awesome breakdowns on the techniques and pathways to different subs you can get from the cradle. I highly recommend it.
I've had the pleasure of working with Dave in person, and was very very excited to see him dropping a gi series. His approach to hybrid grappling is awesome. I've taken away several details that I've immediately put into action on the mats. Highly recommend!!
Implementing the cradle into the gi game is just straight up gnarly. The potential is out of this world and Dave and Vinny have a road map to help you put it into your game. #cradlegang
Great instructional video!
High level BJJ with an amazing mix of catch wrestling to form the Hybrid approach to grappling. It will test you but if you keep with it the results are amazing. Great fitness, self defense and if you want to compete a fantastic team. I have owned a gym in the past and just started working in this system the past six Months. The results in my rolls are incredible and I am much more difficult to read when rolling on the mat. With the fee to lean!!
Muito boa as técnicas do velho Petrone, sempre conectando com sua base forte de wrestling.
This instructional brings the best of Prof. Petrone's No-Gi Cradle System to the Gi and beyond! These techniques take advantage of the obtainable Gi grips to control your opponent from head to toe, set your pace, and wear your opponent down with pressure while also being free to set up your favorite Gi submissions. These positions of control really do put you behind the steering wheel the entire time and have opened new doors on my own grappling game & style. If you're a wrestler putting on a Gi for the first time or an experienced grappler looking to expand on your current skill set, do not miss this opportunity to add a new dimension to your game! Highly recommend! PS - Part 2 is my favorite section!!
This instructional is without any doubt the best one in my opinion when it comes to the concepts of the cradle in the gi. You have an option for whatever your pleasure is. If your position first or submission first it’s here for you. I would recommend that get the no-gi hybrid cradle as well. Prof Petrone gives you a really good breakdown of other concepts such as counters to opponents defenses and other techniques. The beauty of his two systems is that many of the techniques are interchangeable between gi and no-gi. In addition they are a gateway to adding positions, or submissions that you make like as well.
