The Wrestling-to-BJJ Transition They Don't Teach

Описание: In this class, Hayden McDonald breaks down a slide-by to back take from the wrestling exchange — showing how to win the hand fight, clear the arm, and secure dominant position without muscling the move.

Then Junior Crivelari dives deep into arm-in choke details — the subtle pressure mechanics that turn a “good position” into a guaranteed finish. This is not a generic choke overview. It’s about why the choke works and how a small arm adjustment changes everything.

If you’re looking to connect:

Wrestling entries → back exposure

Back control → high-percentage finishes

this class shows how the pieces actually fit together.
