Filthy Grappling Takedowns by Neil Melanson

Filthy Grappling Takedowns

This video is fantastic! At first I was skeptical of such an expensive video from someone who isn't necessarily a wrestler on this subject but it turns out to be the best introduction to the standing aspect of grappling I have ever seen. It is very systematic, if you learn this video you will have a set of techniques and a system to impliment, unlike others that give you a technique and leave it to you to develope a system around peicing together moves. The takedowns are a mix of some fairly standard and some more unique techniques, but all of them are taught in a very good way and I found some of the most value in being taught some things that I already "knew" before since I had a whole new look at them. And also as someone who likes Neils general style and uses his guillotine, guard, side control and cradle systems I like to have a takedown approach that just feels consistent in the same style and approach.

easy to understand

A lot of basic Nd advanced takedowns in this video. Easy to follow along and apply.

Great tutorial, my takedowns aren't great and I needed something like this to improve them, I'll keep practicing with what I've learned :raised_hands::skin-tone-4:
