Garth teaches the double leg!
Tonight Garth went over a high double leg takedown. First step is to change your level while keeping a quality athletic stance and good posture.
Next comes your penetration step. The key is to fire out with you lead foot while keeping the same level, no raise or drop. Then grab behind the knees.
Now you need to step into him with your back leg and reestablish a solid base and start to get your opponent off balance.
Finally with your original lead leg step off at an angle and start to lift and look upwards, like doing a deadlift, to finish the takedown.
This leads me into a plug for our wrestling classes. Takedowns are a vital part of grappling and if your interested in learning more takedowns and defenses to add to your game try out the wrestling classes. They are Thursday from 4-5 and Sunday from 5-6:30 and like all our classes are included in your tuition.
