In this series, Xande breakdowns the positions in his fights at the World Masters and Abu Dhabi Grand Slam. He begins with the kata guruma takedown from his first fight at World Masters. His opponent was much taller and able to secure a lapel grip on him, so Xande made a grip at the shoulder, near the armpit. After pushing him back a little, his opponent reacted by stepping forward. Xande used the opportunity to drop to his knees, pulling down with the shoulder grip, and finishing the kata guruma. On the ground, his opponent tried to bring his knees to Xande to establish a guard, but Xande used his body to smash the knees right away and pass to side control.Add to Favorites 726 Remove From Favorites 3071 days ago
