Defending takedowns is one of the most difficult aspects of any grappling match. Never Get Taken Down Again looks to give you a sure-fire, battle-tested approach to defending and countering takedowns. Whether it's defending deep doubles or clearing collar ties, Rodriguez has an easy-to-follow approach that grapplers of ALL levels can use.

Nick Rodriguez shocked the grappling world when he took on the toughest competition at ADCC 2019, where he was able to secure a Silver medal. That alone is an impressive feat that few are able to achieve. What’s even more impressive is that he was able to do it with under TWO years of training. He was still a Blue Belt in BJJ at the time!

Now you may take one look at Nicky Rod and simply assume that it was because of his peak physique and freak athleticism that allowed him to reach the pinnacle of the sport. While this no doubt played a factor, Nick was able to utilize his prior wrestling experience and Danaher Death Squad training to create a unique system of domination from the feet down to the mat. Nick’s supreme understanding of the rules of grappling makes it so you will always be controlling the action, even if you are on defense!

Never Get Taken Down Again is Nick's complete defensive approach to No-Gi Grappling. This 4-part series will teach you the unique and energy-efficient system that helped Rodriguez take on the sport’s VERY best athletes. Don’t be fooled, this isn’t simply a series on defense. Instead, it’s a perspective shift that will keep you safe from takedowns and get you back on offense, or land match-altering counters. Learn to move, attack, and defend from one of the most exciting athletes in the sport, Nick Rodriguez!
