The 2 Simplest No Gi Takedowns
youtube·Stephan Kesting & Dennis Kang·5:02·2 techniques
Overview
Two experienced grapplers demonstrate two highly efficient no-gi takedowns designed for minimal setup and maximum leverage. The first uses a collar tie and knee trip to collapse the base, while the second combines forearm-driven posture breaks with pummling to secure double underhooks and finish with a guillotine or front headlock. Both emphasize using forward pressure and head control to dictate the exchange.
