Amazing, Even if You Have Other Standing Instructionals
I was hesitant to get this, since I have the first two Standing2Ground instructionals, as well as several other wrestling instructionals. However, Pixley and Heath do an incredible job. I love the format of Pixley teaching, and Heath coming in and asking questions. It may have been the culmination of learning many things, but several sections just made things "click" for me. I finally feel like I'm able to hit a good single leg in a Jiu-Jitsu context. Highly recommend!

This has amazing information on how to transition between wrestling and bjj. Really covers the gap with great examples timing, set ups and finishes.
The best wrestling for jiujitsu out there.
Fantastic for anyone who is trying to improve their wrestling!
I have been training for 7 years. I have severely neglected my wrestling. Mr. Pixley does a fantastic job of overlapping wrestling with Jiujitsu. I would recommend everyone no matter what belt, start with the white belt section! It has great insight and will give you something to immediately begin work on.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Bought & Binged
Just bought this and immediately pressed play. Binge watching and taking notes. I really appreciate Heath getting in there and asking lots of questions and helping dig into the details. Can’t wait to start live drilling this stuff. Much love for everything Heath and the Daisy Fresh crew are doing! Those guys are the reason I finally after MANY years of talking about decided to start jiu jitsu.
