Double Leg Takedown Technique - MMA Manchester

The double leg takedown is the most common takedown in Wrestling and MMA.

You can drill the technique on your own which will speed up the entry and execution of the movement.

Focus on each element of the movement:

- Drop Step/Level Change
Get as low as you can as you take a step with your lead foot, keeping your weight even in both feet.

- Penetration
Push of both feet to get as far forward as possible to your front knee without leaning forward. Keep your head over your hips.

- Step Up
Use the momentum of the penetration to bring your rear leg up in to a strong driving/pushing position.

- Drive
Push of the rear leg to drive your opponent on a 45 degree angle to run him to the mat.

Do not place your back leg on the ground first you must first put your front knee first on the ground after you have moved otherwise you lose penetration distance and speed and the opponent can just move backwards and sprawl even if you are at a good distance

Good for wrestling but it an MMA context it's too risky to get that low. MMA figjters tend to adapt the height of their level to just what's necessary to go below the guard. You gain a fraction of second but that's all you need to get an edge on your opponent

I am currently doing wrestling but I am planning to switch into MMA in the future should I practice my wrestling with left foot forward? Instead of traditional right foot forward?(My right foot is dominant)

does the drop step count as the level change? im a bit confused as i have seen in pure wrestling videos they level change then step, i found this kinda hard to do in mma whereas when i followed your video i did the double leg much better? (Amazing video btw)
