Proven methods for every grappler, at every level, at every age

Complete Grappler

The Science of Single Legs 

The Problem:

Most grapplers know how to shoot a single leg.

Very few know how to finish one.

They hit a clean entry, then get stuck.
They commit to one finish, then lose the position.
They abandon the attack as soon as their opponent sprawls, circles, or whizzers.

The problem is not getting to the leg.

The problem is understanding what comes next.

Most instruction only teaches one or two finishes, leaving athletes guessing the moment their opponent reacts. Instead of flowing from one attack to another, they stop wrestling, lose control, and end up in a scramble.

A great single leg is not one technique. It is a connected system of positions, reactions, and finishes that keeps you in control until the takedown is complete.

What's the Solution
 

The Science of Single Legs

 

The Solution: A Complete Single Leg Solution

This series teaches you how to turn one of wrestling's highest percentage takedowns into a complete scoring system for Jiu-Jitsu.

You'll learn high percentage entries, powerful finishes, outside singles, high singles, and the chain attacks that allow you to finish against resisting opponents.

Instead of relying on one finish, you'll learn how to recognize reactions, stay in position, and transition seamlessly from one attack to the next until the takedown is complete.

When they sprawl, you cut the corner.

When they whizzer, you change the finish.

When they circle away, you stay connected.

When they defend one attack, you transition to the next.

They don't stop your single leg.

They give you the finish.

As a BJJ black belt and strength coach, I know how important it is to take the best from multiple disciplines to make your jiu jitsu the most solid it can be.

If you've been doing Jiu Jitsu for a while, you've probably heard the name Michael Trasso. If you haven't, then your coach definitely has. Mike is a legend in the New Jersey Jiu Jitsu scene and has probably been competing since the moment he got out of diapers. Now, take all that knowledge that he gained training with and competing against some of the best in the last 20 years and mix that with a beautiful brand new school in Glen Rock. That's a winner.
