Quality Instruction
Lot of good technical knowledge shared here
Gold Nugget
I was looking for a way to take down really strong opponents without shooting on their hips and getting underneath them. There is a big guy in my gym who always goes for my neck, and when I get tired, I slow down and he tends to go for neck cranks on me. So I was looking for a better way to take him down and keep my neck safe at the same time. I decided to try out this instructional, and it has been awesome! A lot of the moves he shows allow you to end up in better positions, and also set you up for attacking submissions. It opened up a whole new range of options from the upright standing position. In addition, I finally found a proper way to set up the arm-in guillotine! This instructional has been so helpful, and has nicely filled in some gaps in my game. Highly recommend!

Interesting Takedowns
Adam shows some very interesting takedowns and variations on them that I've not seen before. He explains carefully, breaks down each step and gives some really good movement insights to get the most out of the technique via body mechanics. Recommended!

I love the simplistic approach to these takedowns. Adam does a great job explaining the steps involved and it's perfect for me. It was a nice surprise buy.

Adam Wheelers Upper Body Takedowns
Great upper body takedowns from Adam Wheeler. His takedown system is easy to follow and straight to the point without overloading you with too much information. Will be implementing this to my jiu jitsu game. The way he chains techniques depending on the opponents reaction is particularly value for competitor.

Practical Greco for BJJ
Wheeler focuses on a lot of simple low risk throws while anticipating various responses from the opponent. Most of the entrances come from a two on one grip on the pommel. A great starting place for a submission grappler wanting to learn takedowns.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great intro into Greco-Roman throws
I found this tremendous value. As an introduction into upper body throws (or Greco throws), it was fascinating to see the importance of underhooks, hip placement, and how straightforward some of the techniques were. Terrific video and his instructions are easy to understand.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent intro into Greco
I picked this series up because I wanted to add more judo and Greco to my game because I got bad knees. I gave this series a try. It’s a good beginner series. The entries are very straight forward. I wish there was more hand fighting advice, but it’s a minor gripe.
