Your Favorite Takedown
 

Well this Forum seems dead so just name your favorite takedown here. I love the Jap Wizzard I hit it on everyone it just works so effectively in mma and wrestling. I just thought id make this thread to bring some life to the Grappling forum since Palma has been gone.

My favorite has always been an ankle pick. Its very effective and works at every single level of wrestling. Other then that I always liked a good ole double leg with a leg hook.

I dont take people down,I never wrestled and my knees are shot, I just stand up and wait on the meathead wrestlers to shoot for the double leg so i can guillitone/necktie the shit out them. on the judo or good jits players I just clich and try to jump and pull guard (i guess you can consider that a take down) or twords the end of the night I just sit down when the time starts and wait on them to come down to me. Yah Im lazy so what?

the good ol double leg. im usually fast and strong enough to slam and have a dominate position. im not the best with them but i also use ankle pick alot.

the jap wizzard is fun when i hit it but i get afraid of not hitting it and having my opponant on top of me.

kick him in the dick

I like the ankle pick. I never was good at the double so I avoid it. I have been working on getting the ankle pick from a distance, instead of the clinch. my long distance game is pretty limited.

i like the heel trip most if your good at it you get the take down and good position for control. but most of the time i used doubles.

honestly, my favorite is to wait for them to tie up with me, or tie up myself, take a collar tie and then throw my other arm underneith their chin and grab my wrist. then hold on tight and spawl, they drop like a bag of bricks. it's dirty and painful, but nobody sees it coming and allows a 1/4 nelson, d'arce choke, arm triangle, spin to back mount, etc... whatever you want

I don't know the names of all the takedowns. But I like to sacrafice throws in BJJ/judo. In wrestling/MMA I like the double and single leg, a throw from over/under to the over side, don't know what it's called. I do the same in bjj/judo by holding the collar and the gi at the tricep. I also try at ocasions to do a flying armbar, but don't even try to finish it unless it really sinks in, and sweep the opponent immediatley -> move to mount.

First of all, you must fight some shitty wrestlers.

Second of all, I wouldn't try and make it sound cool to stall your way to an offensive position.

I hate fighting people like you because you fight like a pussy... too afraid to commit to anything standing so you just make grips and try not to fall. Lame.
At least pull guard... do something offensive. I hope your BJJ instructor is disgusted in your standup.
