This was my first purchase on BJJF and I cannot recommend enough. Coming from a wrestling background, this collection and insight from the Petrones has increasingly helped my understanding of BJJ and I've been able to incorporate an already familiar grappling background into something new. I'll be purchasing more from BlackOut Grappling no doubt!
Great for anyone cross training wrestling and jiu jitsu
Adds a new element to top side control.
Really great stuff from the Petrones. Really taking my game to the next level, especially with the guard passes.
Cradle: pin - pain - sumission - transition. It fits perfect to the leg weave, the arm weave or the leg drag concept and positios. Explained step by step within a bigger picture and broken down in a manner easy to get. Highly recommend!
Communication is excellent, techniques are brutal. We love it.
You will get more taps, but likely lose some friends. There is some weird and funky stuff in here.
Loving this. I’ve watched their other instructionals, this one gets to the basic foundation of their cradle techniques.
A deep dive on cradles with a lot of cool options I haven't seen anywhere else.
Coach Petrone is the savior of Catch Wrestling. If you are a wrestler by trade coming into submission grappling or a jiujiteiro who wants to learn wrestling style holds, this is the absolute best instructional to utilize. I’ve been trying to work this system into my game more and more. Passing is becoming a lot easier for sure.
Its more than just a blend of catch wrestling and bjj. They are really putting cradles on the map.
This instructional is a great dive into a rarely covered position in the BJJ space. It blends wrestling into BJJ very well and helps create that edge in your game with a position many grapplers aren't spending time in. Dave is a detailed teacher without being too wordy and his system is expansive and versatile. Heavy recommend.
a different style, perfect blend of catch wrestling and BJJ. top notch.
Great fresh ideas for most of us. I can't really say enough about this one, but I'd buy it if I were you.
I love the material David and Vinny put out! Unique and highly effective.
Crazy subs and cradle systems here. Honestly Some funky moves that you will catch higher belts out with.
fantastic nasty dvd with pins and submissions
Back when I first started bjj, I didn’t know any submissions so I would put the other newbies in the cradle because it was one of the few things I remembered from wrestling as a kid. Low and behold, there is an entire system on using this hood to attack. I love it!
Will be nice to have different views of the techniques to have more details.
This instructional series is fantastic! Unique and effective techniques explained in a very clear and concise way. I have already implemented some of them into my grappling game! The cradle position and the approach David uses to explain how to get into it is a home run!
I'm really enjoying the instructional. I don't come from a wrestling background and I've found this blends bjj and wrestling well. Extremely relevant!
Can’t explain how easily and effectively this instructional was to be applied and added to my game now I’m a obsessed cradle menace
Incredible techniques to really diversify any grapplers game. Very happy with this purchase and adding some sneaky creativity to my game. #cradlestrong
This series is really a gem I evolved my game
Great cradle reversals from the bottom. Once you see them you'll never not see then then. End your match quick with cradles.
