• Great for tall guys

  I'm almost 196 cm (6'5") and so sometimes its difficult for me to duck under the opponents arms. I like the upper body control and takedonws in standing position.

  Jason W.January 6, 2025United StatesVerified buyerBlack belt16 yrs training

• Upper body takedowns for jiu jistu

  This series is without a doubt the best I have seen for the standing position. Any one of the videos in this series would be enough for you to have a very good takedown game. Any two is even better. And if you have all three it is all I think you will ever need for a very long time. This is probably the most valuable one of the series if you are already very competent in wrestling style takedowns, but they are all very good

  Great detailed instructional, it has answers to many, especially when it comes to such throws as uchimata and latheral drops. If yo don't want to shoot for takedowns, this instructional is a must have.

  Awesome upper *** throws. Great product for NoGi players

  David R.November 29, 2024United StatesVerified buyerPurple belt4-6 yrs training

• Our gold in the standing position

  If you don’t like to shoot but want to improve the standing position… this is definitely for you. This became the centerpiece of my standing game.

  William M.November 15, 2024United StatesVerified buyerPurple belt4-6 yrs training

• Good section for older/less athletic players

  Don’t sleep on this if you’re older/less athletic and worried about throws. Good section at the end just for us. Maybe get it on sale.
