This might be one of the best martial arts videos in all of youtube. I wish I had watched this when I was just beginning because it organizes it perfectly. But even as someone who has been practicing for a long time I STILL learned a couple of new ideas. Thank you, Patrick!
My pleasure, and thanks for the kind words!
Still just getting started, have much more great ideas to make this better ;)

I have been looking for exactly this kind of video for a very long time now and I don’t know why it just now came up on my CZcams algorithm. Better late than never. This is as good as it gets. Subscribed.
Thanks, Swoosh283! I'm actually working on a even better version soon enough, I feel this video, although pretty exhaustive, lacked in live drilling and sparring footage to help you understand the application of the moves better. Meantime, check out this more recent "How to Shoot" video, which will help you develop a strong wrestling stance and good posture for a powerful shot!

I haven't even watched past the intro yet, and all I can say is BRAVO! I love that you took the time to not only make a full tutorial, but broke it into segments for easy reference, and even timestamped them in the description. Strong!
Thanks, Jason! Still just getting started... working on much more quality content as we speak!
Thanks for the comment 🙏

Practice well :)
- Patrick
I will do my best, thank you)
Great video. Subbed.
Glad you like it, frank castle. Working on some more great content for the future! - Patrick
Thank you so much for these videos! I just started a grappling and bjj class last week and I'm new to grappling but your videos have given me a great guide to anchor the things I've been learning.
Glad we could help, Daran! Good luck with your training, and we got much more great content in the works for you in the future! - Patrick
Man your tutorials are such of a great quality! everything is perfect, thanks a lot for your work - Yazid from Paris (MMA factory)
Good stuff.
Thanks!
I've been watching tutorial after tutorial about learning the double leg and haven't been able to do it properly. It never felt right until I found your video. One of the biggest things that I was doing incorrectly was not dropping down for a level change so my knee dropped and drove into the ground limiting my driving power. As soon as I saw your video, I was immediately able to drive forward instead of down and can now continue training and drilling my double leg. Thank you for such an amazingly, detailed tutorial!
That's great, Metta! Good job on doing the research and practicing, and glad I could help improve your game! Keep it up :)
- Patrick
Your videos are Amazing 👍👍😊
Thanks, Ryan!
The best video about the double leg takedown. Sorry for my english.
Congrats!!
Thanks, Oseguera J. A.! That means a lot :)
You don’t need to apologise lol

Thanks, John! Means a lot coming from another martial arts professional. We're just getting started... Love your channel, great insights. - Patrick
Failed takedown was the best part - will subscribe for sure 🤗
Thanks! Just getting started. Check out this more recent solo drills video to perfect your shots: czcams.com/video/lTgXIM0fO9g/video.html

Thanks, erik lee, much appreciated!
NICE !
Thanks, Walter!
thanks sir
Just found your channel this morning. Very detailed video. This is a really good load of information on the double leg, one of my go to techniques. First takedown I ever learned aside from the hip throw. Much respect.
Thanks, James, glad you like it.
Much more good stuff to come!
- Patrick
+Effective Martial Arts Looking forward to more content Patrick. I thought about doing some takedown and submission tutorials myself a while back.
Would certainly enjoy watching them.
This is an excellent tutorial even for people who do take downs. Thanks.
Thanks, William Laurin, that means a lot!
- Patrick
very good explanation allso for beginers, thank you
Thanks, Katana Team Slovenija!
Great video! I'm subscribing to see more grappling techniques. I was confused for a while when he tried it with a "bigger and stronger" opponent. Had to rewind a little ;)
Thanks, Kamil M! More videos on the way... - Patrick
Excellent instruction and passion for the art to match! Ossu! Peace!
Thanks, Giacomo! Glad you like it :)
- Patrick
Honesty in the art! Ossu!
Keep up the good work and training! Peace!
Great basic techniques!! Master these and you'll be tough on your takedowns. I like to add on the double legs instead of grabbing behind the knees. Cup the calves so it is harder to sprawl out. We just did double legs in BJJ class and I was showing the guys how much more control you get to cover the calves not just the knee.
One other technique which I love but not sure if I show in a basic class is just pulling up on the elbows on a double leg. This lets you keep your feet and not having the chance of the guy slipping your sprawl or faking you into a sprawl that lets them get in front head control.
Great stuff. Really makes me want to get back into coaching.
Thanks for your comment, shane eskelson! Valuable insights, might cover that in future videos. Hope you get the opportunity to get back into in, very rewarding occupation to see people progress in their martial arts skills.
All the best :)
- Patrick
thanks
My pleasure!
I'm really baffled... I was not expecting much from a CZcams video but holy crap this is very well done ._. I'm subscribed now I like this
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing! Just getting started, much more good stuff to come :) - Patrick
I don't understand how this has any dislikes. This is the most comprehensive guide to the double leg I have ever seen.
Thank you so much for the vote of confidence, George D. I'm very critical of my past work, and constantly think about how I could have done it better, so I appreciate when people let me know there is room for improvement. In this case, my teaching style has evolved quite a bit since then, and I feel I could have emphasized some key principles more, and maybe not put as much emphasis on some of the minor details and variations. For an example of a more recent tuorial, focusing on Takedown Defense, please check out this one: czcams.com/video/480kEH_r51g/video.html Hope this helps, and thanks for watching and commenting! Best, - Patrick
Trolls
This is such a great video! Very informative, detailed and easy to follow. I'm just a normal dude trying to learn self defense by myself, and I think I found my channel! Subscribed! Keep it coming dude!
Thanks, Tung Anh Nguyen, glad you like it! Much more good stuff to come. Practice well :)
join a gym bro aint gunna work if u dont practice and roll.
Indeed, studying techniques by video is great, but you do need to practice with partners in real life in order to develop your skills.
You are an expert m'y Friend good Luck
Thanks, Abdelouahab! I still have much to learn though, working on it. If you’re into wrestling, I think you’ll like my latest video, How to Shoot v.2.0! Enjoy 😊

Thanks, Siddharth. It's coming, working on it :)

Thank you, sir. I'm actually bad at takedown but better at striking and this was really helpful
My pleasure! Here’s another important, more recent video I suggest to work on your shots:

thank you for the details I wish i were in your gym
Pleasure, R El! Let us know if ever you're in the Montreal, Qc, Canada region, you'd be more than welcome for a visit :)
- Patrick
I love the detail on back position.. no one is teaching that
thank you now I feel confidant beating anyone in my school I'm already pretty strong and a boxer but I don't know how to do this
Glad you liked it, maryam. Use it wisely :)
Cool
so hard to do but it's very useful
Indeed, practice makes perfect!
Really like techniques that you are full control like no knee or hands touch the ground before your opponent hit or fall to the ground...
For the defense, I would drop levels and hit with an elbow and then the knee. Step forward with the elbow (if possible) to stop the momentum, then knee and hammer down with strikes. I’ve used the elbow myself so it works.
Striking counters to takedowns can work, but they are generally low-percentage and require near-perfect timing. It’s generally best to defend the takedown first, gain some form of control, and then counter, either with a wrestling, grappling, or striking-based attack. More content coming on this topic. Hope this helps!
- Patrick
I love how martial arts is getting to a point where practitioners are blending the MMA and the TMA into the final form of martial arts - The CMA, what I call "Complete Martial Arts". Basically like 90% MMA with some 10% of the actual effective TMA stuff that you can't reasonably allow fighters to use in the cage for the sport but which do in fact work in life threatening self defense fights when you need to use them.
Thanks for the comment, Steven, glad you get our mission! Rather than CMA, we call it EMA 😉 - Patrick
Hey coach please do a blast double leg takedown. Your breakdowns are awesome.
If it's not too many questions, please also let know your take on facesaver headgear. I'd like to begin sparring but I worry about my nose breaking and getting rattled. Is it good I put on headgear and learn to fight 1st before I go without headgear
Thanks for the comment, Seetsa. Will definitely address the Blast Double in our upcoming Wrestling videos. Got some grest ideas I’m working on for principle-based learning... Meantime, check out this short and sweet video by Flow Athletics: czcams.com/video/X2GU0CEc3Tg/video.html
As for sparring headgear, I personnally don’t use any, nor do I recommend it to students. It only protects you from superficial lesions, but not from more damaging brain trauma. Please start sparring very light, and make sure your partners are able to control the power of their strikes. For how to do so, check out this video:

Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions! DM me on insta for quicker replies. Practice well 👊

Fucking bestest detailed explanation ever😌😌
I think it is best channel for mma learning!!!!
Thank you sir for providing this much information for free

you really out did yourself in this video. Real in depth information. You should sell your videos. At first I didn't click on it because your wearing karate black pants and we have too many wannabe MMA people giving out advise online and the best way to figure they are fakes is by the karate/sweat pants. But you should change your clothing to mma style clothing instead of the karate movie black pants for more views. Its all about first impression and visual display.
Sorry for the delay, your comment was flagged as spam... Thanks for the suggestion though, you aren't the first one to mention this. We have since switched to Gi-style pants with rashguard (check our most recent videos). I know it will take a while for this to catch on, since we created something new, a belt system for MMA. But I believe this will get us more traction long-term. I might reconsider if necessary... Please let me know what you think of the new uniforms! - Patrick
this looks exactley like a hapkido move i used to do, especially when combined with a lead kick
Cool :)
lol i go here and i love it
Hey Robert, and we're glad to have the opportunity to teach you! Keep up the good work :)
- Patrick
Thank you :)
