Chris on your double when you drop your level, need to talk about drop step, and then I dont drop my knee your losing 2 feet on your shot. I also really like moving them creating misdirection and few other timming stuff.

Thanks Ty

[...] practice, but I haven’t had the chance to apply them much in sparring, so when I encountered a double leg takedown post on Damage Control, I was curious. It’s worth a [...]

This is an interesting discussion. I like how you strung together the series of videos interspersed with your own thinking on the subject.

Great flow chart. I’m probably going to ask one of my wrestling buddies to write one for me on the single leg. My mind works better when I understand the system of moves rather than individual moves.

They really help me to understand my intention when going for a clinch and just what game I am trying to play.

I love the flow chart idea Dr Sick! The one’s in Eddie Bravo’s books are excellent for setting up submissions.
I’ve done some wrestling in the past but it’s a weak point I’d like to work on, This kind of thing would help me out to no end. another great article, thanks man!

a jab is still a jab to me in grappling or mma, but in grappling i just tap there face , make them blink. lots of grapplers do it to me when i roll

as for ME IN MMA the take down that “directly” translates to a jab is the high double for me because you don’t get a hip in the back of your head. when my high double gets sprawled on
1. i can go into clinch and throw him from there
2. i can strike him because im standing
3A. i can drop into a low double and use Dr sicks prefered options
3B. i can drop to my single and use KJGould prefered options
3C. i can switch over to Dr sicks prefered option and if your opponent is strong in the clinch then you can break off and and fake a double to a single using KJGoulds prefered method.

Sooo much to learn i have been wanting to work on take downs for a while and you guys gave me so much options to try out and research.

i just started getting into this site and this site is great
thank you guys for your opinions.

Ahh, you’re gonna hate me. I’d not seen the Billy Robinson clip for a while and just rewatched it to make sure I’d remembered correctly. Billy Robinson is showing takedowns from the front-facelock (grovit) position, not the over-under clinch. I’m sure you could possibly work for a grovit from the clinch and then the takedowns off of that, but I must apologise for the error.

Oh, I think I’m getting the picture here KJGould. I’m in total agreement then. Coach Wells also shows a single series off of a failed Double. And you’re right, supplementing existing options with variations and takedown chains is key for success.
