Takedowns and Defence

Five lessons on the entries that put someone on their back and the defences that keep you off yours. Every takedown here is taught as part of a chain, because a defended shot is not a failed shot.

What you will be able to do

  • Change levels without exposing your neck
  • Finish a double leg and a single leg from a real entry
  • Sprawl on reaction and recover position afterwards
  • Get back to your feet against someone who wants you down
