2 Easy Takedowns for People Who Don't Do Takedowns

youtube·Elliot·4:12·2 techniques

Overview

This video demonstrates two accessible takedowns designed for grapplers who avoid the feet, specifically targeting larger opponents. The first technique combines an arm drag with a hip-driven trip, emphasizing energy efficiency and immediate underhook conversion. The second uses a cross-collar drag to break posture for a single-leg entry. Both methods stress releasing grips quickly, maintaining elevated body weight, and transitioning directly to guard passing to avoid submissions.
