Apex Army MMA

Most beginners shoot once… then either force the finish or completely give up.

That’s why you keep getting stuck.

Great fighters don’t rely on one attack, they chain them together.

✅ Drive him to the mat
✅ If he keeps the leg back → cut the corner
✅ If he defends again → take the back and mat return

Stop forcing one finish.

Start thinking 2–3 moves ahead.

Save this and try it in your next wrestling rounds 👊

Over-under is one of the most important positions in MMA & grappling.
If you can win the position here, takedowns start opening up everywhere.

3 high percentage attacks from the over-under position:

1. Swing single
2. Inside trip
3. Wrist control to sweep

Don’t just hold the position and stall — start attacking from it.

Save this for your next wrestling session and send it to your training partner 👊🏾

Beginners don’t fail single legs because the technique doesn’t work…

They fail because they make these 4 mistakes:

1️⃣ Head too low, hips too high
2️⃣ Not clearing space with their lead leg
3️⃣ Not making their opponent move
4️⃣ Letting the balancing leg stay straight

Fix these and your single leg finish rate will improve drastically

Send this to a training partner that needs it & follow for more!

My favourite sweep from the back 🤼‍♂️

If you're opponent is fighting the hands and moving their hips away, follow closely and feel the timing of their steps. Go for the sweep as they lift their weight up to take a step. Give them a slight lift and sweep their feet from under them.

This is great technique to use if you're struggling to control your opponent. Give them the feeling that they're getting away... and put them straight back on the mat!
