Wrestling Takedown Explained for Beginners 🔤

Footwork is absolutely critical in wrestling, especially when looking to generate offensive takedowns. I often see the basics of the standard double leg penetration step missed/overlooked in the jiu jitsu space, and I wanted to break it down simply. When we first started wrestling as youth students, this is one of the first things we learned. Now, there’s a lot more to learn to make your shots more powerful and explosive. There’s also a lot of other variations of the double leg. But this is a great place to start when getting started as a beginner with wrestling offense!

I’d be a world champion if coaches would explain everything like I’m slow

[kingbubbles]

Your content is my favourite lately. It’s just what bjj is lacking in my opinion, too many people are afraid to wrestle. Thanks for sharing what you do and please keep explaining like I’m a 5 year old

We still using the heel toe knee concept in highschool, its the greatest thing since french toast

One thing I have learned from 30 years of teaching is always assume your student doesn't know anything even if they have tons of experience . Let their ego take the hit because you'd be surprised how far people get without knowing proper basics and WHY you do things a certain way . I was a second degree black belt when a guy came in and showed me I didn't have a clue what I was doing.I had to start all over . And likewise if you are a student. Check your ego, be quiet and act like it's day one. Because either way, you are going to fight with the basics when it comes down to it.. A double leg may be day one stuff, but it WORKS. And the better you do it and understand it the harder it is to stop

i did it on the street and now I have a new kneecap

[skerKing]

Heel toe knee is actually a really good cue

[tiffany]

I’m having trouble understanding what’s going on. Can you explain it to me like I’m 4 or 3 instead?

[kwesifuller]

Now I need you to explain everything like I'm 5

[delicated]

Finish across his body?!?!? Wdym by that

[Juventino]

same for left handed? lead with left leg?

[Steve-kflx]

5 year olds don’t speak like this 😂 This is actually a great way to communicate while teaching beginners, it helps make understanding the technicalities of each step more understandable. You have to know WHY you do things a certain way

[eriksatterfield]

How do you not get mat burn on your big toe or do you just deal with it honestly? Cuz after a while itll bleed no?

[minlee]

Hey would u do this in the concrete? In the street?

[MarioGarcia-defj]

how do you do this on a street fight? Wouldn't it scap your knees?

[RBlueUriah]

They also call a similar move the super man

[jdt]

So for self defense that knee would just hover?

[michael]

Can you possibly explain it like I am 3?

[akavakar]

easier done than said 👍 (i’m an idiot)

[RoluLoru]

Crap, I just realized I am 5 years old. I am screwed
