Basic Double Leg Takedown

The double leg takedown is one of the most effective ways to take another human being to the ground. In this video, we show you how to execute a basic version of the double leg that is applicable to both grappling and self-defence scenarios. Please take care training the double leg, especially if your training partner does not have much experience being taken down. Take it slow at first and increase only when comfortable.

how to get over the fear of eating a knee to the face while going for the takedown?

[mmalarkyy]

amazing clear video thank you!!

Question..what are you doing with your hands/arms on their legs? Lifting their legs? Pulling them towards you? Trying to get their legs together?

Also, does it matter which leg you lead with in relation to which leg they have forward? Or can you always shoot with your right leg forward regardless of their stance?

Thank you!

This looks very risky against a well timed knee. But I guess if you have to...

How do I stop them from getting an arm around my neck?
