Double Leg Takedown

So, I figured I´d start off the techniques on this site as is appropriate - focusing on the basics. What I will post is the techniques required for the coveted first belt in BJJ, the blue belt, in what was the organization MMA Alliance in Scandinavia 2001.

Demonstrating the techniques is Leo Negão in the white gi. Me, Fredrik Wiberg, am assisting him in the blue gi.

Enjoy!

Bend your legs and step outside your opponent´s lead leg. Grab behind his knees and put the side of your head against his stomach.

Push with your head, pull with your arms and lift with your legs.

Land with your weight on your left shoulder and take cross body.
