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.

@@MMACoach79 I remember I had a wrestling coach who came in to run a practice at a Wrestling nonprofit that helped teach skills to people in NYC. The trick he recommended for double legs is that you want to attempt to have your initial penetration step be through the legs of your opponent so that before you have done your level change and set up to finish your takedown your opponent was already off balance. Just out of curiosity, is there a similar style of "chain wrestling" where you fully commit to every takedown but you make sure that your takedowns become good combos for winning

A lot of people plant the knee and that's why I included it as one of the most common mistakes. I use to do it too. Low double leg ia not the only way to do it. You can also try the tackle (high double leg). No need to go down on your knees with that variation.

i wrestled in highschool and have dabbled in other martial arts and these are great tips. I think the most underrated parts is the penetration step and head location. If your penetrating step is good they should be off balance before up even grab the legs. And the head position is key bc by looking across the back as you finish gives you so much more power than first trying to muscle it and pick them up.

Really good material and instruction, thank you.

Having a proper form is sometimes not enough - injuries can still happen if your back is weak. Whenever I drill a lot of double legs or do other kinds of lifting, and my back and abs are not in shape, I usually get a light injury. The solution is to do back extensions and situps every day. Start with 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps and hold the back extension on the last rep and count to 10 slowly. This always does the trick and then my back are injury free. You have to consult your doctor first in case you have a more serious injury like a herniated disc. I might do a video in the future about this...

Be careful you don’t cut the corner into the rad. Great instruction! Thanks 🙏

It can be if a judoka learns how to modify it for MMA. Everybody knows how to defend single and double legs (not saying those will not work anyway), but not a lot of people know how to deal with some specific judo throws as they have never experienced them before. Wrestling is better for MMA, but it will depend on the individual also.

How do you breakfall with double leg attacks? I'm not a fan of double legs as I feel they take too long and a lot of energy

At the beginning of the action, do you recommend to faint with hands up ☝ ?? Thanks

@MMACoach79

5 жыл бұрын

There are many ways to set the double leg up, with or without hands up. I teach the offensive and the defensive setups (just how I call them). Offensive - preparing the entry with the punch. Defnesive - preparing the entry with the slip. To learn more about it, check out MMA: Essential Lessons part 1 and 2: www.mmacoach.net/store And you can use faints of course.

I've also seen people (e.g. fedor) finish a high double by cutting the angle, is it sensible to combine the frontal offbalancing high double (I guess classical morote gari in judo) with the angle cut finish (arguably te guruma)? I've noticed that the drop-step double I learned in MMA is hard to defend in part because of this direction change.

enrol in a wrestling gym first. train it for about a year and then start MMA. so you wont have alot of problems with your wrestling. but i perefer judo or juijutsu instead of wrestling cause there is submissions and self defences in judo and juijitsu as well.

this is a good video and I have mma exam next week but one thing caught my eye is that you leave your head out laying it on opponents side, might not be such a good idea because you could easily get guillotine done on you? Our coach always tells us to keep our head inside and laying it on their chest

@MMACoach79

6 жыл бұрын

There are many variations of the double leg and several head positions (outside, inside, on the chest). It is not incorrect and if you drive hard sideways during the takedown and clear the legs, getting guillotined is difficult.

Finally somebody with REAL wrestling knowledge speaks up on the double-leg in MMA. So many of the people you hear from are BJJ guys who do a loose half-hearted adaptation and it's become the dominant perception of double-leg takedowns in mainstream fighting fandom.

@MMACoach79

Thank you. The Main difference are the setups and stance.

Which striking background is best for setting up takedowns? Taekwondo, Boxing, Muay thai, Karate, Sanda, Kickboxing etc.

@MMACoach79

7 жыл бұрын

That depends a lot on the person and other factors. GSP has the best shoot in the business and he says that his Karate background helped him a lot with timing the double leg. Which would be logical if he was a Shotokan practitioner (because the have those blitz types of attacks). But he was a Kyokushin fighter so it is a bit confusing to me because they mostly stand and bang. Sanda is not a pure striking art, but incorporates takedowns as well. Muay Thai also has takedowns but they are mostly done from the clinch. It doesn't matter what your background in striking is because you can learn how to take people down with enough training and effort.

Boxing is great and it is the most used striking art in MMA. The best way to connect striking and takedowns is either by slipping the punch and going for the takedown or by setting up takedowns with punches. So start learning boxing and pay close attention to head movement (slips, weaves...).
