Chillaplata:

Randy Couture "Wrestling for Fighting" is only $35 at barnes and noble.

It's great.

Thanks for your very helpful replies, Bodhisattva -- I will certainly check out that book.

touch touch go!

good book

As a non-wrestler and BJJ beginner I don't even know enough about setting up takedowns to have specific questions. The few articles my quick google search turned up were interesting and potentially helpful, but not exactly comprehensive:

Any good links or pointers you could share would be much appreciated.

Another set up - hit right then hit it left.

How do you like to set up a double, single, throw, or anything else?


Since set-ups are arguably THE most important part of offense, what works for you?


Also, what questions about set-ups do any non-wrestlers have?

another of our favorite setups is to hit the move to his left, and if he ties off his left, then hit right away to his right side.


Single legs, duck under, and major outer reap all work well like this.

Setups for wrestling / fighting

How do you like to set up a double, single, throw, or anything else?

At the training circle, we work set ups both attached and unattached.

So we work in the swim drill, pummeling, and find a single leg and a double leg from each of:

Arm Drag
Two on One
Duck Under
Head Snap
Slide By
Shrug

And also to take their back on some of them.

We also work setups from biceps control and elbows control for the single and the double.

Typically, we work at least one judo throw from each of those positions as well.

So my guys will pummel for a duck under and either do:
Single Leg
Double Leg
Minor Outer Reap

Or they will go to Two on One and either:
Single
Double
Major Outer Reap
Or hit a duck under or an arm drag

Etc.

We do that almost every workout.
