Whether you do BJJ, Judo or any striking art, Adam Wheeler has great info in this instructional that will make you a better fighter. My background is Combatives, but have recently concluded my system lacks “completeness”. So I picked this course recently and added it to my training. It is excellent! Instruction is very clear and flows from one throw to another. A great purchase that I’m so glad I made!
I love the fact that it’s a system. You go through the whole motion and different possibilities. He does the thinking for you. All you have to do is drill. Thanks Coach Wheeler!
this has helped me wtih my nogi take downs a lot
Very good techniques. I think this takedowns can be quite effective in MMA.
Good effective take downs anyone can do, you don’t need to know how to suplex. Displays other ways to use a body lock.
Detailed, clear instructions and the takedowns are great for those looking to get closer to their opponents instead of trying to shoot for the legs.
This video shows great upper body takedowns. Adam’s teaching is very clear and concise as well.
A must have
Adam Wheeler’s Upper Body Takedowns for Grappling is a gold mine from a world renowned wrestler/BJJ master that teaches you step by step to bring the standing to the ground-FAST! I highly recommend this DVD!!
Great video, especially if you do submission wrestling. Recommend it
I teach a takedowns class at my academy, and I added this system into my curriculum
Thumbs up.
I have to admit as a mainly bjj practioner I was skeptical about getting this DVD because I thought it wouldn't be too applicable to bjj due to not directly grabbing the legs, but after watching a few techniques I am excited to integrate many of these takedowns into my game. He also presents it in a SYSTEMATIC way that chains the moves together so that if one step fails you logically progress to the next step instead of starting over and doing another random move. A lot of DVDs claim to be a "system" but this one, like Danaher's stuff really is a system.
Excellent.
Interesting
Well laid out and effective takedown plan
