Takedowns from the Clinch

Three gi takedowns off the same cross-collar grips, a white-belt standing package from Chewjitsu.

Shintaro Higashi's in-depth osoto gari, including the off-balancing and reap that make it safe to use in a BJJ gym.

Higashi's no-gi osoto, replacing the lapel with a collar tie and still reaping the far leg.

Olympian Travis Stevens on foot sweeps that work in no-gi, without needing a lapel to make kuzushi.

Ffion Davies' outside trip from a body lock, a low-risk finish once you have the clinch.

Long class on pummelling for underhooks, a partner drill to build it, then a double leg from the clinch and a momentum counter. Wrestling and MMA oriented but the clinch work applies to no-gi BJJ.

From a front body lock: a hip throw setup for opponents who keep their hips back, and a standing back take when they resist. Includes notes on what is legal under IBJJF.

Body lock takedown details: S-grip, hips stacked under the shoulders, killing the underhook with the elbow and stepping to the near foot for the finish.

Dennis Bermudez shows pummelling into a body lock and finishing with a level change, squeeze and head pressure. Filmed at an MMA pro class.

Why double underhooks are the strongest standing grip, how to lock the hands, and a reaction-based set of finishes when the opponent scoots the hips back or fights the overhook.

Chaining a double leg into a side body lock and inside trip when the opponent pulls you up, finishing in side control. Wrestling-first but directly usable in no-gi.
