DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN: step by step in jiu-jitsu

TAKEDOWNSTANDINGIBJJF +2

Step by step

  1. Stay in a fighting stance, knees bent, a bit lower, at one arm of distance, always touching him on the shoulder or the gi.
  2. Squat by bending your knees to change levels and get close to his leg, without leaning the torso forward, only the legs.
  3. Take a step to close in, driven by the back leg, with the back foot always pointing forward.
  4. Enter very close, with your head outside his hip, and wrap both of his thighs.
  5. Move his legs to one side while your head drives his hips to the other: he loses his base and starts to fall.
  6. Follow the fall without diving underneath him, keep his legs controlled and absorb the impact through your stance.
  7. Release the legs only after rotating over the top, crossing your chest over him and stabilizing in side control.
