basically have to find gems on youtube every now and then a pro fighter will show his way of doing stuff ect and try to form a series of attacks
Im sure the BOLT stuff is good for those with no wrestling background because catering to that demographic is how Kenny Johnson made his name. He worked with Paul Daley, a bunch of Brazilians, and BJ Penn (although BJ knows wrestling). I just cant support how the guy marketed himself. He put out a lot of misleading and disingenuous credentials. "Im training for my 6th Olympics" is a line he often dropped. He was a wrestler, and maybe a DIII All American or something like that with some freestyle and Greco experience, but he has no meaningful credentials beyond that. And to suggest you are an Olympic level wrestler is pretty misleading.
Its definitely really tough to do if the coach has no credentials AND no successful students. If you know the sport (the terminology, the moves, the rules, etc) but are just not very good or have no experience competing in it, then you can probably assess the coaches worth to some extent by observing. This is ok if the stakes are not very high. Meaning, if you want to get better at wrestling to improve your bjj, this is fine. If you want to win a state championship or better, probably not a good idea. Overall, youre gonna have to gather recommendations, reviews, test your results, etc.
Yeah man, give your current situation some good effort and you'll get better. Its obviously not ideal but in some ways simply participating is gonna make you good. You'll learn to recognize the feeling of really nailing a move and will seek to replicate the feeling. Activities have a way of being the sport and the teacher at the same time, if we are observant.
well luckly since the thread is wrestling for mma about 70% of wrestling goes away when you have a mma rule set no more russian ties ect on the feat theres only so many things u can do i think it really shines with being creative technical with being on top and knowing how to flow and control
He's worked with a lot of high profile names. And he is likely even a good coach. Its just the way he marketed himself as an Olympian, trained under Dan Gable, etc. I talked to Holt about this once and apparently the guy is completely full of shit.
If they’re pinned against the fence and their stance is broken. You still have to watch out for an elbow from their free hand. Punches don’t have any real effect from a broken stance but elbows sure as hell do.
a russian 2 on 1? iv never seen it done at a high level id be afraid to even try to go for that and tbh what would be the point in mma if your that close to get a russian u might as well just grab the hips or single or whatever since the 2 on 1 s a method to help you get to the hips anyways like how n wrestling you need ties to setup takedowns to get to a guys hips but with striking that goes out the window makes easier
well he obviously knows his stuff for doing it in combat sports but yeah him lying or misleading people into thinking he was in the olympics is gay.
No doubt he was a decent wrestler with plenty of skill and certainly a good coach. Pretty misleading stuff though.
uld see it against the fence especially if guys taller but out in the open would be a disaster again im talking about good pro level
iously but if to do that means im right up on the guy so why reach for a 2 on 1 when i could go for a single or work in my underhook thats like taking a hotdog over a steak
