Renzo Gracie Hit the Broomstick Takedown That He Showed in The Airport Earlier This Year

Renzo Gracie returned to action against Yuki Kondo in OneFC and in it he worked a takedown technique that he had demonstrated to Brandon Vera months beforehand.

Here he was waiting for his luggage to come off the plane and he decided to give World Champion Brandon Vera some advice on back control to takedown. Both are high level bjj black belts & MMA champions and the mutual respect is very high:

The technique is also taught by Ben Askren who calls it the Broomstick Mat Return, with the regular broomstick being a variation of the leg scissors takedown in BJJ. In this video the awesome Sonny Brown gives a breakdown of this technique that Ben Askren says is unstoppable when performed correctly.

Wrestling can make or break you in a tournament.  If you, like many other want to win the ADCC one day, you better start training wrestling now!  This can give you the competitive edge.  If you don’t have a place to train wrestling, check out Hudson Taylor’s “Wrestling for BJJ” DVD Set.  Hudson was a division 1 all American wrestler and he is a blue belt World Champion.
