At QuanWessels, we know one of the biggest differences between a good athlete and a dangerous one is what happens after the takedown.
Anyone can learn to shoot, body lock, or trip an opponent to the mat.
But the athletes who dominate MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and wrestling exchanges are the ones who know how to secure control after impact, shut down the scramble, and convert the takedown into a real finish.
That’s exactly what our newest super seminar is built to teach.
Introducing: CONTROL AFTER TAKEDOWN
On Saturday 9 May at 10:00am, Coach Richie Quan will be hosting a focused seminar at QuanWessels HQ in Sunninghill designed to help athletes improve the most overlooked phase of grappling for MMA: the control after the takedown.
This seminar will teach practical systems for:
- securing control immediately after the takedown
- preventing explosive scrambles
- controlling hips and legs
- using leg laces and ride concepts
- creating dominant striking positions for MMA
- transitioning into submissions or stronger finishes
Whether you compete in MMA, No-Gi, wrestling, or BJJ, these concepts are essential for building pressure, control, and confidence on top.
Why This Seminar Matters
In both competition and live sparring, many athletes hit great takedowns only to immediately lose the position.
The reason is simple:
they haven’t learned the control phase.
This seminar focuses on the exact systems used to:
- keep opponents flat
- trap the legs
- shut down the hips
- stay connected through transitions
- force reactions that lead to clean finishes
For MMA athletes especially, this creates huge opportunities for:
- ground-and-pound
- cage control
- mat returns
- ride pressure
- back exposure
- submission chains
This is a massive skill upgrade for anyone serious about becoming harder to escape once the fight hits the floor.
Open to Everyone
One of the best parts of this event is that it is open to all gyms and all experience levels.
Whether you are:
- a beginner learning your first takedown systems
- a BJJ athlete wanting better wrestling
- an amateur MMA fighter
- an advanced competitor refining your ride game
…this seminar will give you immediately usable tools.
The event takes place at QuanWessels, 1 Kikuyu Road, Sunninghill, our HQ for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, and high-level combat sports training.
Early Bird Tickets Available
Early bird tickets are currently available at R300, with the full price moving to R450 after Monday 4 May.
