Wrestling Takedown Explained for Beginners 🔤

Footwork is absolutely critical in wrestling, especially when looking to generate offensive takedowns. I often see the basics of the standard double leg penetration step missed/overlooked in the jiu jitsu space, and I wanted to break it down simply. When we first started wrestling as youth students, this is one of the first things we learned. Now, there’s a lot more to learn to make your shots more powerful and explosive. There’s also a lot of other variations of the double leg. But this is a great place to start when getting started as a beginner with wrestling offense!

I’d be a world champion if coaches would explain everything like I’m slow

[@kwesifuller3916]

I was thinking the same thing. This right here is it lmao

[@Genomorellimma]

[@counterkidnapping1737]

​@@Genomorellimmacoach what about sweep single. Do i have to slide my leg or planting my leg?

[@kobe51]

[@viktorthevictor6240]

You need a time-out

[@moshpupps7921]

[@kingbubbles4509]

Your content is my favourite lately. It’s just what bjj is lacking in my opinion, too many people are afraid to wrestle. Thanks for sharing what you do and please keep explaining like I’m a 5 year old

[@Genomorellimma]

I appreciate that! Looking forward to bringing more wrestling into jj🙌

[@pgfinna]

I'm in a beginner bjj class and constantly getting folded by the people transitioning from wrestling

[@twin248]

Agreed, I’m a blue belt in BJJ and definitely need to learn the basics of wrestling takedowns to help me

[@TheUnparalleledSkrub]

We still using the heel toe knee concept in highschool, its the greatest thing since french toast

[@popeye5274]

I like French Toast!

One thing I have learned from 30 years of teaching is always assume your student doesn't know anything even if they have tons of experience . Let their ego take the hit because you'd be surprised how far people get without knowing proper basics and WHY you do things a certain way . I was a second degree black belt when a guy came in and showed me I didn't have a clue what I was doing.I had to start all over . And likewise if you are a student. Check your ego, be quiet and act like it's day one. Because either way, you are going to fight with the basics when it comes down to it.. A double leg may be day one stuff, but it WORKS. And the better you do it and understand it the harder it is to stop

Thanks bro❤❤❤

[@sk8erKing678]

Heel toe knee is actually a really good cue

[@tiffany5441]

I’m having trouble understanding what’s going on. Can you explain it to me like I’m 4 or 3 instead?

[@delicated4547]

Finish across his body?!?!? Wdym by that

[@paulinosamson8507]

🙏💯

[@jordansteward6420]

Finish across his body

[@Khader-ty8kt]

I slam my knee hard when I do this

[@slipperysteve8]

He doesn't do a good job of doing it this video, but you need to "level change". Bend your knees and get lower, then when you are stepping and going to your knee you are moving forward and not down

[@model84]

@@slipperysteve8 why? he's shoving opp hands upwards to duck/dive under and he still have pendulum to penetrate, not everybody is Jordan Burroughs

[@veldrensavoth7119]

Haha thank you

[@R2BlueUriah7]

They also call a similar move the super man

[@user-gg4nm7qi8n]

Quite good👍, helpful

[@RoluLoru]

Crap, I just realized I am 5 years old. I am screwed

[@Genomorellimma]

hahahahaha 😂

[@eriksatterfield4755]

How do you not get mat burn on your big toe or do you just deal with it honestly? Cuz after a while itll bleed no?

[@MarioGarcia-de2fj]

how do you do this on a street fight? Wouldn't it scap your knees?

[@Genomorellimma]

Woudln't recommend hitting your knee on concrete! The technique is a little different if your hitting it in a fighting/MMA application 👍

[@Juventino95]

same for left handed? lead with left leg?

[@minlee5376]

Hey would u do this in the concrete? In the street?

[@samnaffah7369]

Why hit the heel first?

[@jdt8983]

So for self defense that knee would just hover?

[@rizalyngavan4176]

💪💪💪🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@Genomorellimma]

✊

[@michael7765]

Can you possibly explain it like I am 3?

[@Juicewrldfan-hk1rf]

[@AP-qs2zf]

What happens if they pull a gun out?

[@AP-qs2zf]
