Adapt your Judo game to No Gi!
What Will You Learn?
Jiu-Jitsu finds itself in a unique place when it comes to takedowns. Both formats of competition, gi and no-gi, have their own unique style of takedown. Also, adding the dimension of guard pulling tends to make things even more tricky! If you are used to gi grips adapting to no-gi can be difficult, but Mastering No Gi Takedowns looks to change that.
Travis Stevens is well known in the marital arts world as an Olympic medalist in judo and a black belt under John Danaher in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and now he is bringing his grappling knowledge about takedowns to you. One of the major goals of this instructional is to give grapplers a game plan on how to approach no-gi, and how to make necessary adaptations to make your Judo work without the Gi.
Let’s say you aren’t savvy to the slick ways of Judo. No worries! Travis’s approach can be applied to your takedown game regardless of experience. There are some unique benefits from learning Travis’s style of takedowns, instead of say a folkstyle wrestling or a traditional Judo approach.
