Did you know that wrestling can actually be quite simple? It sure can, if you dedicate yourself to learning and perfecting a set number of techniques, until you can hit them automatically.
One of these techniques should definitely be the Russian Tie. It’s going to come in handy whenever you want to progress to a takedown… Or even set up a choke immediately!
The Russian Tie is one of the strongest grips/positions you could establish when on your feet in Jiu-Jitsu.
Here’s how to use it, as explained by Jeff Glover:
