Something I'd recommend is really getting in those reps in, with or without a partner. You want your penetration step to be fast and to do that you need to practice it a lot, that includes the level change as well. Make sure your flexibility is on point too.

I was having issues with takedowns in MMA which brought me to this video and the two things I was doing that you pointed out were not committing once going for the takedown and focusing on capturing the legs instead of driving the opponent first. I implemented these tips yesterday and got 4 out of 5 of my takedown attempts! The last one I was super gassed and the guy was bigger and trained for longer so I’m not mad at all

Best video on doubles I’ve seen. Short and to the point.

Woow that's incredible.. With all that training and experience in MMA, no wonder this instructor does it with ease..

Real quick as a wrestling coach i teach my kids to be able to touch before shooting there is such a thing as shooting from too far out. Good video!

[BartinArtsandfitnessAcademy]

One point you forget to mention is fake a jab this will make you to get the opponent unaware of the takedown or you time his about to strike you roll and shoot for the take down.
Good advice good video.👍👌👏

I know what I'm doing wrong after seeing this video I need to use my takedown range like my boxing range sometimes I shoot to far out and extend my arms out and got to work the counter coming my way

[Shadowrulzalways]

In Judo we have the exact same takedown. Called Morote Gari.

[ekud]

I used to do all of them, specially planting the lead knee

[ScorpionSuerte]

When to do high double and when to do knee slide double?

[reymicroc]

So much for someone raising his knee and knocking you

[washington]

Imo you are still shooting from way too far away.

You need to really emphasize penetration step which is my most important step when teaching the double.

Always try and get your lead foot in between theirs for "3 feet in a row" or if they have one foot forward change the attack angle so they square up. If you can't get them to square up shoot the high crotch single on the closest leg, turn the corner and then switch to double.

Never shoot on an angle downwards . Change your level first then explode into your penetration step. I use the example of the right angle triangle. Never be the sloped side when you attack always drop level first and attack straight like you see with the 90 degree sides.

Are takedowns also teach on bjj, or not really?

[tylerhealey]

Bro how do you slide like that, my knee feels like it would explode

[xsx-_-]

My problem is the amount of friction that my ankle has when moving my right leg
