I like it 👌
Well explained, all u need go know about ankle picks
Simple, straight forward and practical
Basic, good explanation and very good tutorial for new practitioners.
Aaron Benzrihem’s Basics To Advanced: Ankle Picks For Jiu Jitsu was a really interesting instructional. I honestly did not expect ankle picks to be developed into such a complete and well-structured concept. Before watching it, for me it was just one technique, but this instructional showed how to use ankle picks from many different positions and situations. Overall, it is a very smart and useful instructional with a lot of great ideas.
Tall guys with long arms, this is the move for you.
good!
The ankle pick series is great. Really enjoy it. Detailed instruction.
As a white belt this helped me so much.
Got a lot out of it
Aaron is quickly becoming my favorite instructor and this just reinforces that. So easy to follow and implement.
A nice systematic approach to setting up and finishing ankle picks!
Good stuff!!
I discovered Bezrihem via his superb YouTube channel and am happy I grabbed this Fanatics instructional. He has an awesome teaching style that is conceptual and easy to incorporate into your game. This is a stellar, comprehensive guide to the ankle pick--a versatile and relatively safe takedown option in gi. This is my first Benzrihem instructional and certainly not my last. Thank you, Aaron!
Great teacher
Very useful video focused on a specific wrestling technique.
ankle pick is easy and useful
What an amazing instructor and instructional. I was able to immediately implement this into my game with dramatic results.
Great, easy to follow content.
Very consise detailed content for adding the ankle pick into your game.
great details and multiple options for finding ankle picks in the Gi 10/10
Very informative instructional on the why and how of ankle picks. As an older athlete with zero wrestling background I’m finding ankle picks to be an effective take down option. This video gives clear and concise “how to’s”
Awesome concepts and a safe way to take em down. Looking forward implementing this technique!
The picks work. low risk high reward
I've been using this takedown for many years and there are quite a few details on this I've never seen broken down so eloquently.
I was able to implement these strategies right away! Aaron is an amazing instructor!!
Easy to understand and a lot of variations in a short video.
Aaron showed how easy it was to add ankle pick to my game. I'll definitely be working the concepts I've learned into my training and competition.
Very easy and effective even for non wrestlers
In this instructional I learn how to ankle pick in a way that fits easily into my game. Great details and very good set ups which help me as an older guy to take down some of the younger athletes in our gym. So I highly recommend this instructional.
Awsome instructional
I can't recommend Aaron's instructionals enough. They are well thought out and detailed. His techniques and tips are well worth your time and money.
Great video with breakdowns of different ankle picks, set ups & positioning via different scenarios. Great alternative to the standard single and double legs.
easy to understand and easy to use, an amazing tool
Professor A. B. provided another great instructional lead by his clear path given through explaining the main types of ankle picks first. Second explaining the mechanics of the ankle pick(s) and then going into different finishes and set ups form all major spots and linking them with dominant positions like knee on belly mount and submissions out of this like his signature technique the high ellbow guillotine. Detailed and on point and creating a valuable over all = big picture and concept. Highly recommend even for slower guys!
Really good and creative ways to get the ankle pick. Highly recommend.
I am a big fan of Aaron Benzrihem Instructions. The techniques are well-organized, practical, and comprehensive. After watching the instructional once, I have already been able to score some ankle picks in class. I decided to try ankle picks because I got tired of being sprawled on for single and double-leg takedowns. I was afraid that I would not be explosive enough at forty-six years old, but I am still finding success. In the future, I will buy anything with his name on it. Keep coming out with instructions, please.
I've purchased this course after seeing Aaron's half butterfly guard course which is great too! This one is for people who want to take a bit safer takedown game. Great course from a great teacher.
