I have wrestled for 8 years. This man knows what he is talking about. The two mistakes I would always make was searching or reaching with the arms and having bad posture. I often wrestled people heavier than me through college and my doubles would rarely work on them so I always preferred the snatch single leg takedown. I attempt an outside leg trip and while they are trying to regain their balance, I grab the single leg.

I'm I the only one who would be really scared about getting thrown, falling, rolling or somehow crashing into those radiators?
Looks extremely dangerous to have sharp metal edges exposed like that in a mma gym. :/
Great video though! :)

#3, planting the knee.. I train by-myself, no MMA gyms in my town, , been having this problem FOREVER, finally this video explains it..I almost gave up.. Time to get to work on not planting my knee. Maybe i'll even get this guys DVD's because he's the 1st to explain this.

Technique/concept videos can often be repetitive, but this one was edited perfectly. I loved the cuts of the active uke resistance-- just long enough to see what could go wrong, but brief enough to not bog down the pace of the narrative. Great vid, +1 sub

This is by far the best video I've seen demystifying the double leg, thank you.
