A lot of details, real fight possibilities and connections between the positions.
Buchecha breaks down his stand-up game in a very easy to understand manner. The techniques are easy to study and apply on the mat. This video would benefit beginners and advanced players. Highly recommend!
Really good takedown system for jiu-jitsu
Recommended to me by a friend, really upped my single leg take down.
Spiegazione buona delle tecniche e relative applicazioni. Rimane indietro rispetto agli allenatori professionisti.
Buchecha teaches his main gi takedown system. You can watch his competition footage of him and see him hitting the same takedowns he teaches!
Having done MMA and transitioning to the Gi, this was very helpful in conceptualizing how to use the material for your set ups as opposed to viewing it as an obstacle.
Solid info with gi
Buchecha presents a streamlined and effective takedown game based on the body lock, simple grips and grip breaks, and single and double leg attacks. This is an excellent instruction for jiu-jitsu players who want to build a takedown game like his!

An amazing takedown. Watching this video gave me the confidence to take down an Olympic wrestler.

The takedows are seamless. I am able to do double legs much better thanks to this!
I am done the first two chapters and I am already able to hit all the takedowns with success. The intructions are clear and the little details expalined are very helpful.
This instructional helped me a lot with my takedowns as a white belt.

awesome techniques
Great takedowns instructions from the Master! A whole system...
The best takedown with the best of the world
Simple and well explained techniques, if you have not done any judo or wrestling and want to improve takedowns the instructional is for you.
Very engaging, detailed and makes one develop a better takedown game.
Great details
we recently had Buchecha at my academy for the seminar. His DVD's are a fantastic adjunct to training with him in person. You get a ton from his DVD's but nothing will be the hands on training with any great instructor. This DVD is full of great material and you will get a lot from it!
This is a great instructional on takedowns from a BJJ legend. Highly recommended!
Started training take downs, seriously four months ago now this tutorial is starting to make a lot of sense.
A few takedowns presented in an easy way by a big monument in the BJJ world. Easy to understand. Excellent. Thank you Mr Bucchecha.
This has been a great addition to my game as well as my students.
Professor M. A.. delivers a easy to follow and efficient takedown system. Based on single legs and double legs. He shows how to enter it without grips and grios, from breaking the grips. You get a concept when and how ti switch to body lock variations and sumi gaeshi. Explained very well highly recommend!
I got this instructional primarily because I was struggling getting to double and singe legs in the gi. Was not disappointed. Buchecha teaches different grip fighting strategies used to get to his signature double leg takedown, as well as what to do when his first attempt fails. In addition, he gives a very detailed breakdown of his grip breaking method. Worth the price.
nice and easy
The best video to train takedown.
I was happy to find this in the daily deals as it has been helping me in improving my takedowns and setups

I really liked him as a fighter, and so di I as an instructor!!!
Good instructional but It could use more camera angles and a better lighting setup. I think it's time that production quality gets taken a bit more seriously all around the store, it's 2023.
Really helped me learn takedowns. Helped to improve my game!
What can you say but what Buchecha shows is right the to point and effective. Proven over and over again this stuff works. Something I'm trying to drill regularly now. Great video.
Great system with nuanced points to make the techniques effective. Great for those wishing to up their takedown game.
Great instructional with Buchecha teaching his highly effective and easy to follow system for takedowns. My takedowns are always underdeveloped, this was a must have video for me
Good explanations on his takedown techniques. They look simple but he is super fast in his execution. Guess will need tons of practice! He also gives many good tips on how to counter what happen in the rolls.
A lot of detai and principles to consider. Thank you Marcus
