Armdrag single video

Ok so here is one of the tutorial videos I shot while I was in New York. The armdrag single is my number one takedown and one I have been working a lot on for a long time. I have pulled it off countless times and many people have asked me to do a tutorial on it, so here we go.

Really it is a pretty simple move, the key is all in the little details, which I have tried to explain as good as possible in the video. I also added some - more or less successful - examples from sparring and competition in the end. Speed and explosiveness is needed for this move, just like most other wrestling, but with some practice I think anyone can pull it off.

I hope you like the video, feel free to leave a comment so I know that someone is actually watching it :) Thanks to Gunni Nelson for the help as dummy!


More video tutorials to come soon!

Just like everyone else, I liked your breakdown. Just like you I've tried to reverse engineer it by watching Marcelo Garcia...

Mostly I've been using the inside (hooking) leg to block his far instep. For example, if I'm armdragging his right arm, then the bottom of my right foot blocks the front of his left instep.

I'll try it your way too, and see which works best for me.

Sincerely
Stephan Kesting

I pulled this off in class last night. I like the fact that you demonstrated the technique and then let us see how worked in competition.

When I did it, I heard a lot of oohs and ahhs:)
