Double leg takedowns

shadowing... if you can get someone in person to demonstrate how to do a shot for you, and you get the basic movement down or at least how to in your head, you can improve by just shadowing by yourself.

i am a judoka so im not a natural shooter i did no gi submission grapliing before and i usually got skooled because i was new. now as a judoka my no gi base has really given me a good base and i have been using a shot in judo randori and lately i feel my shot to be strong. a strong penetration step with both legs to the side so u end up in side control. also a double will not work even if u have a good shot. u must set it up. i use a few simple moves like rotating the guys upper body, jedi mind trick for judo wud be a strong lapel grip and pull slightly to one side then u let go change levels and shoot he will not expect it. in mmma u can set up the shot with punches or from an underhook. work ur shot with the advice these guys gave u but dont frget ur set ups bro

Whatsup guys? I've looked through lockflow, and other technique websites, and believe that I finally have the technique correct for the double leg takedowns. Basically, my takedowns have sucked, and I think if I master them that it could help my MMA greatly. So my question is, do any of you know any drills I could do to work on the technique when I'm not training in class? All I really have in way of equipment is a heavy bag, and none of my friends/family really cared to be thrown onto the ground. Does anyone know any drills I could do to improve my technique/takedowns with the heavy bag?

for double leg takedowns, just shoot it over and over again, on nothing, just take shots over and over again. Pretend someone is there, and just do it.

Trent, thanks for the great advice. I actually homeschool, but I know almost all the wrestlers at a HS in my area and am friends with most of them, and I also know the coach, so I may be able to work something out so I can go to practice with their wrestling team as well.

Do this.

Your little technique thing sounds good, but make sure you're doing it RIGHT. Only count good reps where you didn't lose your balance, didn't telegraph it, etc.

I've wrestled for 8 years, the double leg takedown is a very high risk move. If you don't commit 100% you will get stuffed by an average sprawl. To correctly apply the DL you must position your knee to the furthest point between the legs of your opponent. Your knee's must NEVER touch the mat at anytime, the double leg motion is exactly like doing lunges.

Greco-Roman wrestling is the most effient style for MMA, if your using your wrestling for MMA I suggest to stay away from free-style and only train Greco!
 
Place a broom handle across a door way about chest height and practice shooting underneath it.
 
I can't do double legs either. There suppose to be the simplist thing but I just can't. Outside, low, hi-c's I can do good but doubles are so freakin hard.
