Wrestling skills, in particular takedowns, are an important part of both BJJ and MMA. One needs to successfully transition the fight from the stand up phase to the groundfighting phase.
We have added a wrestling class to our schedule. During this class one of our wrestling instructors focuses on takedowns and takedown defense. This is done primarily no-gi, although we do drill takedowns with the gi on occasion during a BJJ class.
We also work takedowns into the training on our MMA days. We will typically work our striking, several ground techniques, and a takedown during an MMA class.
