Going back to the Gordon Ryan vs Felipe Pena match, we review the take downs executed by Gordon Ryan. They were all simple and take downs that anyone can execute – granted you have good setups and timing like Gordon did.

The first one was a simple back foot sweep. The second was my favorite, the far knee block. The final was another back foot sweep, but with a same side cross line. Check them out and let me know your thoughts.

The Under Hook is my favorite wrestling clinch with the Far Knee Block being my favorite take down.

I have won big matches using it, like in the ADCC World Championships 2009 against Roberto “Cyborg” Abreu. It is relatively low risk technique, with a high reward.

That being said, there are a lot of misconceptions about using the Far Knee Block. The main thing about the far knee block is NOT the knee – it is the shoulder.

I see people trying to pull the knee out, when that isn’t how this works at all. It is all about that shoulder you have the under hook on, and manipulating it to put them off balance. I discuss how to use it and show a few simple chaining options in case you have problems.
