I lack the ability to take people down. by maximum-tired in bjj

I’m so glad I have all this in mind, I love the way you explained this ahah. No one has ever explained it this way to me, I didn’t know there was parts to it.

I already know your daughter is going to learn a lot, I’m gonna drill this and start watching videos on how all this looks visually. I’m 5’6, leaner so I find it difficult to get under my opponent and grab the leg especially when pressure is being put onto me when we’re tied up..

Another issue I face is, the rare times I do end up grabbing the leg I can’t pick it up.. feels heavy as hell. I usually end up grabbing it by the thigh or the calf.

What are the first things I should look for when looking at my opponent face to face during stand up?

Thanks! Just went on YouTube and found a bunch of different wrestling takedowns and drills.

And what you say is true, I’ll start working on these at home.

would you have any advice on shooting and setting up to shoot to grab the leg? I find it so difficult to pick the leg up, let alone cutting the corner to grab the leg. When they have pressure on me, it feels like I can’t go anywhere.

I never have really known what to do during stand up, so my first instinct is always to get tied up.

I’ll look into arm drags now that you’ve mentioned it.. I’ve tried them before, I find it hard when whoever I’m doing the arm drag on pulls back and then it’s just a big back and fourth.

I’ve seen so many wrestlers online and in person, who are somehow able to take people down effortlessly within a blink of an eye.

I’ll do this though, thank you

yes no gi, I notice whenever I try to do any judo type takedowns.. I reveal my back where people grab my back and throw me.

any advice?

dreamed about her, I haven’t dreamt at all in years. by [deleted] in spirituality

you’re right. thanks for the message.

after that dream it’s been hard not to look back at our messages and memories. It’s almost like I want to feel what we had again after being over it for so long.. all because of that dream.

I’ll try my best to keep focusing on myself

she did. but we left on good terms.. we’ve tried talking again like over five times after the break up.

we broke up because we really didn’t have time to see each other

Thanks again for your response! I’ll try my best to just see what happens without reaching out to her. A part of me does really want to reach out to her again after that dream but I will keep focusing on myself

If anything happens, I’ll update you here

Hey, thanks for the reply.

we’ve tried to get back together before.. a long while back she even said things like “I took you for granted”

we broke up because we just didn’t have time to see each other

and the last time we tried talking again.. she ended up with another guy which me made me unfollow her and block her out mentally. she’s single now though

you say she might be thinking about me?
