🤼♂️ THE HIDDEN SCIENCE OF ELITE WRESTLING 🧠
Ever wonder why Olympic champions seem to react before their opponents even move? Or why your shots stop working in the third period even though your legs feel fine?
This video reveals 10 scientific principles that elite wrestlers understand—but only 0.01% of competitors actually know. These aren't just techniques. These are the invisible systems that make techniques work.
⚡ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
- Why elite wrestlers react in 120-180 milliseconds (while others take 300-500ms)
- The exact heart rate zone that builds wrestling-specific endurance
- How grip fatigue reduces your ENTIRE body's power by 20-30%
- Why feints work at 180ms intervals (the psychology behind it)
- The circadian rhythm secret: why time of day changes performance by 12-18%
- How to read attacks 50-100ms BEFORE they happen
- The stance drift that kills technique (and how to fix it)
- Energy system transitions that cause sudden fatigue waves
- The vestibular disruption elite wrestlers use to "disappear"
- Positional economy: why champions concede points to save energy
📚 BASED ON REAL SPORTS SCIENCE:
This isn't bro-science. Every concept is rooted in actual neuroscience, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and motor learning research. I've synthesized insights from:
- Russian, Iranian, American, Turkish, Georgian, and Mongolian training systems
- Sports science literature on reaction time, energy systems, and fatigue
- Elite-level coaching methodologies used by Olympic programs

✓ Anyone fascinated by the intersection of sports and science

The Khamzat Chimaev vs Dricus Du Plessis fight at UFC 319 was one of the biggest MMA Fights of the year.
The fight was a very one sided fight but had many many lessons to learn for both Khamzat and Dricus as well as the MMA community and in this video, I discuss what I think the main mistakes Dricus made are as well as I touch on something that Khamzat could add into his grappling game.
So sit back, enjoy and let me know what you think and share your thoughts in the comments.

On this episode of the Grapplezilla Podcast, I had the pleasure of having Liav Ben Shalom as a guest on this episode..
Liav is an excellent coach with kids and his methodologies produce results when coaching kids.
He has over 15 years experience in guiding and coaching children, youth and adults as well as Liav has been practicing martial arts since 2004.
Liav holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has a very good striking and self defense background and currently runs the Akachi Academy in Tel Aviv Israel.

Just a small correction on a comment I made about the latest Nick Rodriguez vs Kaynan Duarte at the grappling competition - Who’s Number One 27 on April 18 2025. I said that Nick Rodriguez had submitted Kaynan Duarte (as I only saw brief clips of the match) and I was not correct as Nick did not submit Kaynan although he did beat Kaynan to win the match.

There is one common theme around all grappling arts which is to achieve a good grip as getting a good grip can open up an opponent to a huge amount of techniques and without a good grip there are only a small number of techniques possible and generally they are low percentage in success.Arguably the most effective grip and position to work off is the underhook, both in wrestling and in ground grappling arts like BJJ and Catch Wrestling, the underhooks opens an incredible amount of attacking opportunities. Many competitive matches are won or lost on attaining a proper underhook and the importance of the underhook for grappling cannot be underestimated.In this video, we cover the reasons why Wrestlers and Grapplers should develop and perfect their undertook as it will lead to world class grappling and wrestling skills.If you enjoyed this Wrestling video, we invite you to subscribe to Grapplezilla's YouTube channel for more great Wrestling, Grappling and BJJ videos uploaded regularly!#wrestling #wrestlingstyles #greco #mma #freestylewrestling #olympicwrestling #grappling #bjj #jiujitsu #underhook

MMA is an extremely dynamic sport which has been heavily influenced by Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
That doesn't mean that if you practice the art of BJJ that you’ll be successful in the MMA cage as most BJJ practitioners are not learning the art with MMA as their main focus, in fact most Jiujiteiros practice for self defence and sport BJJ purposes.
A totally different approach is needed to succeed in the cage at the highest levels and with certain fine tuning of your BJJ engine, you will be a totally different animal when entering the cage and a force to be dealt with.
Here are the things you need to change if you want to sharpen your BJJ for the cage.
