What variables do you look for to land a perfect takedown?

And what separates a great grappler from a good grappler?

Awsome man you got yourself a sub already then

Another question 2 would be When someone has you in over under or double underhooks dom and they keep blocking every escape what would you suggest doing to escape in though positions?

And also in general what do you consider better your ground game or your standup?

An ideal perfect TD would be you sway a 1-2 head kick and shoot right at the end. Always sway back then go forward. The lighter weight class = the further you can shoot TD's (Has to do with weight class TD stat cap).

A good grappler will know how to deny transitions.

A great grappler won't care about them denying transitions.

Relax. Biggest mistake I see is people panicking and getting their stamina drained. Use fakes, recover your stamina and utilize every way to escape. Overunder is easy, go back to single collar they rarely block it. Double under is harder because the denies are easy. Just keep calm and deny them then fake then transition.

I think the ground is more consistent so I'm probably "better" there.

Why doesn't great grappler care about denying transitions, because they can work from anywhere?

Do you know of any way to avoid getting a reversal? Sometimes I want to deny a transition to set up a sub and accidently reverse it and end up in dominant full guard. I feel like I have to start all over again when that happens. Gross.

That and sometimes you can benefit from being denied.

If I know someone wants side control but is laying on me in half guard refusing to move, I'll do a back take to give them the denial and then pre deny the side control transiton to reverse them.

The only way to avoid getting a reversal is to wait and deny a little later. Really risky to do and would not recommend it. I do this in guard from time to time but it's pretty inconsistent.

I always let ppl do certain subs on me till they reach a certain gate then move and try to get out because if I do I usually end up in a great position like side control. Also ppl suck at subs so it's easy to escape all the time.

Sometimes it might lose me the round but if I'm able for the last 30 seconds of a round and make some ones face really red then I'll do it and take my chance in the later rounds.

This is what I like to do as well - laze about on my sub escape then try to get out on the 2nd or 3rd gate. If it's against a proficient grappler/player though, I wouldn't dare risk it.

How Kenetic described it is pretty insane though.

And that's just the simple stuff
