Hey Takedowns 101. I just wanted to tell you what a great job you did on the Single Leg dvd. The instructions were broken down to where someone who has never done collegiate wrestling can learn from. Ive always been weary of doing takedowns in my MMA fights because I really didnt know what I was doing. After watching your dvd my takedowns have come a LONG way and have improved my MMA game dramatically. Thank you so much for providing me with the tools I need to become a champion.
Sincerely,

Takedowns 101 is an excellent tool for me and my students to continually referance. Ken is a great teacher as well as a great competitor. He is a prime example of the perfect blend that is possible between wrestling and brazilian jiu-jitsu. I find his knowledge highly useful and effective.

Takedowns 101 is doing things in this sport in which so many forget about. That is taking the time to help people from all over the world to improve their game.All the video's are pieces of the JJ puzzle that i add into my game. Ken is probably the only one i see blogging what he has learned to share.Thanks for that ken and bring more for me to drill out.

I met Ken of takedowns 101 in Rio and he was a fantastic student at the Brasa academy. It's awesome that someone with a solid wrestling background is still willing to improve in other styles. He is definitely one of the better technicians I have met.

Takedowns 101 takedown dvd is great for any level competitor. I worked with him before the adcc trials and he changed my game from guard plopper to feeling pretty comfortable on my feet.

Ken's Single leg dvd and personal instruction are both awesome! If you have the chance to get the dvd, or to take one of Kens classes, definitely go for it; it's worth it!
I've got both the Single leg dvd and the Arte suave 2 from Takedowns 101 and they are both awesome! The Single leg dvd and Kens help have taken me from the 'close my eyes and jump for someones foot' guy to feeling pretty decent with my single legs. Thanks Ken!

Takedowns 101 single leg dvd is awesome, I learned a lot from it, he is very good with small details that other series that i have watched don't have. I believe he is also working on a high crotch dvd, which he showed me the series on. I wish i had spent more time with him prior to the ADCC trials with Ken. If you ever have a chance to take a take down class or seminar with him it is worth the time. Also his DVD is much more affordable than the others.

I watch all the videos posted, and more often than not, take something away from all of them. They are a great resource.
