In this special class breakdown, we go deep on one of the Top 10 most common BJJ questions: "Why aren't my takedowns working?"

I work with one of my students who's competing in August, and we spend the full session diagnosing and fixing his takedown game — not just by showing techniques, but by teaching principles that apply to anyone:

• Why shooting from too far away never works

• How inside control and positioning win the setup war

• Why a Muay Thai clinch gives you more leverage than a collar tie

• When to shoot — and when to be patient

• How to build muscle memory that sticks under pressure

Whether you're new to takedowns, a jiu jitsu hobbyist, or someone trying to patch this hole in your game, this video will give you actionable strategies based on real mat time — not demo-perfect footage.
