Wrestling for Dummies:

Solo Drills

Want to Improve Your Takedown Game—but don’t have a partner?

You’re in the right place!

What Will You Learn?

In this instructional, you’ll get access to the same solo drills I’ve relied on since my early days as a youth wrestler, and continue to use today as an ADCC veteran and 3x College Wrestling Champion. These drills have been a core part of my training, helping me develop the proper mechanics for takedowns and takedown defense.

Solo drills are essential for building your stand-up game and improving your grappling cardio—two key components for success in both wrestling and BJJ.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Simple but Effective Drills
  The routines in this course are easy to follow, but don’t be fooled—these are the same drills I use regularly, even as a professional grappler. They’re straightforward yet crucial for mastering the foundational movements needed for powerful takedowns and strong takedown defense.

• Build the Fundamentals
  This course is perfect for beginners looking to master basic movements while offering advanced techniques that you can use as you progress. No matter where you are in your grappling journey, these drills will help you grow.

• Develop a Wrestler’s Body and Mindset
  By committing to these drills, you’ll develop the movement patterns of a wrestler, building muscle memory and improving your ability to dominate on the mat. These drills will help you move efficiently and effectively, making you a stronger, more confident grappler.

• No Partner Needed
  This is one of the best parts: you can do these drills on your own—no partner required. No excuses. Whether you’re at home, in the gym, or on the go, you can develop your takedown skills and conditioning anywhere.

• A Commitment to Growth
  Wrestling is hard, and improving your grappling skills takes dedication. This course won’t promise a quick fix or magic pill—it’s about consistent practice and commitment. If you put in the work, you will see results: improved technique, better conditioning, and stronger stand-up grappling.
