switch helps in scrambles. amazing
I got it for free in a promo, so I can’t complain.
I got it for free, so I can’t complain. He shows a lot of positions so that’s good. I normally only use the switch when my opponent is in a front headlock situation and has double unders on me.

All of this stuff, it’s so well into what I’ve already been taught from John Danaher and Gordon Ryan on open guard. It even fits well with the Giancarlo material too. Amazing details.

The Switch: Wrestling Applied to BJJ
I love this course do you know why because this is the only course that I've seen that applies the switch to BJJ. Dinu does a tremendous job in showing The Switch in various positions, various disadvantageous positions that I now have a solution for.
Good overview
Craig Jones calls the switch one of the most important missing links in bjj

Great resource for using more wrestling in submission grappling.

Sneaky trap!
A neat little trap to catch your opponent from several different situations - and nicely explained by this instructor!

Great
Good stuff
I liked it. It's a bit short, as reflected by the price, but I learnt a lot from it. I'm not a wrestler, and this video showed me a move I didn't know, and a whole bunch of situations where I could use it. I even managed to hit it a few times in the next training session, against my (also non wrestler) team mates. I liked Dinu's instruction, and would definitely watch more of him.

Great Concept and technique to practice.
Broaden your arsenal
This instructional really helped me in getting more and different options from well known positions and I always think it is great to get new insights from other martial arts like wrestling or sambo
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great for wrestling defense
The instructional gives som great counters for single and double legs and rugby passing etc. just by holding on to the opponents thigh. The offensive 2nd part lowers the overall score since some of the moves feels somewhat low percentage.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗great

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Nice work!
I've been slowly adding Wrestling to my BJJ and then saw this instructional. I really like the included drills and that this is meant for BJJ practicioners vs. straight-up wresters. I found many of the techniques very applicable for me and demonstrated/taught in an effective manner. I am really looking forward to adding these to my arsenal!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗what are you waiting for, take it
incredibly useful ! it should be taken absolutely without doubt
Nice work

Never wrestled but i love incorporating wrestling techniques into my jiu jitsu. This move is simple and has many applications. Easy break down and some drills. Solid
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Can't wait to try it
Can't wait to try it on my training partners :))
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥Great
I think this DVD is a great tool for incorporating wrestling techniques into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The switch wrestling
Always useful to learn these wrestling moves that are not very commonly seen in bjj. I feel like you could could surprise a lot of people in the gym with these 'onorthodox' reactions. Look forward to incorporating these in my game.
Great, High quality, Clear, Concise. Just FYI it's a more energy heavy wrestling technique and not a typical bJJ sweep

Well worth it!
Great instructional, great details.
Useful addition
This video uses a wrestling technique and uses it in many positions. I've successfully incorporated the technique into side control and half guard escapes.
