How to Setup and Finish the Double Leg Takedown in Jiu Jitsu with Rory Macdonald

Overview

Rory MacDonald demonstrates how to set up and finish a double leg takedown for grapplers. Starting with a snap-down to expose the legs, he details four distinct finishing options based on the opponent's reaction: cutting to side control, ducking under a sprawl, transitioning to a chest pressure single leg when the opponent posts, and using a blast double or outside leg trip. The video emphasizes chain wrestling and instinctual decision-making based on foot placement and weight distribution.
