How To Do a Russian Tie Snap

A well-timed Russian Tie Snap can send your opponent straight to the mat! Viet Ta, head coach at Cloud Nine MMA in Arlington, Texas, demonstrates how to do just that by first engaging your opponent with a collar tie, establishing firm wrist control, and then using precise footwork to execute this effective wrestling takedown.

Watch how he gets his opponent's lead leg into position, steps in, lowers his body, and uses a quick pulling motion to break their balance. He also shares how he first saw UFC champion Islam Makhachev use this technique against an elite NCAA collegiate wrestler at American Kickboxing Academy (AKA). It's a great takedown to add to your stand-up grappling game!
