Hey gents,
Just a question on shooting in with the double leg.
I've wrestled for about 1 year now, and have always stood in an orthodox mma/muay thai stance, with right leg back left leg forward. When I shoot in for a double leg, I penetrate with my left lead leg, but put on head over onto my left side (opponent's right side).
I then scoop with my arms and drive with my head and torso.
Lately, I've noticed more and more that other wrestlers/mma fighters who fight from an orthodox stance, tend to place their head on their right side (opponent's left) when going for the double leg.
I tried this for a few weeks but couldn't get the hang of it. I find that when I place on my head against my opponent's left, I don't get the driving motion as easily as what I'm used to.
So my question is this - should I try to change what I am used to? Is it a bad habit, and if so, why?
