Why Your Slide-By NEVER Works (Fix This One Mistake) | Upper Body Takedowns: Slide By

Описание: Are you trying to add reliable takedowns to your wrestling, BJJ, or MMA game — but keep getting stuck in collar ties and hand-fighting battles?

The Slide-By is one of the cleanest, lowest-risk takedowns you can use to take the back, score, and stay safe. The problem? Most people do it wrong and never figure out what’s actually breaking down in live matches.

In this beginner-friendly breakdown, I show you the key mechanics behind the Slide-By and how to make it work against real resistance. We go beyond just “how to do the move” and look at the structure, timing, and control needed to finish it cleanly.

In this video, we cover:
• What the Slide-By actually is
• Why it works (and when it fails)
• How to extend the arm without strength
• Correct head movement to clear the tie
• Proper pivot mechanics & torso contact
• Controlling the arm so they can’t recover
• Finishing options from the back
• Live application scenarios

If you’re new to wrestling for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, training takedowns for MMA, or learning wrestling fundamentals as a beginner, this will smooth out a move that gives a lot of people trouble at first.
