Take downs are tough in the beginning. Most people love to take other people down, but hate to be taken down. It was harder to learn how to fall down, than take someone down. Eventually, you get over this aspect of grappling. Things to look out for, are perfect spine alignment, the grip you choose, whether its a single or a double leg take down, and whether to stay on your feet. Whether to stay on your feet, is an article unto itself, but I always prefer the single leg take down. The individual knee left or right shoots between your opponents legs from the half knee level (similar to a single leg lunge) and the hands go behind your opponents legs or lower back). If you get the lower back, you have the option to push high, and slam your opponent. If you get the legs you have the option for a quick trip to the ground. I prefer to get my partner to the ground as soon as possible, to either gain control, or go for a quick submission.
1. Lunge forward on single left or right leg.
2. Choose your grip, and encircle your opponents legs.
3. Push forward with a perfect strait spine, this generates the most power.
4. Push all the way through the movement for perfect precision.
