How it works
Develop a technically sound double-leg takedown finish through repetitive cooperative drilling with a partner.
What you need
- wrestling mat
Your focus
The double-leg is the most foundational takedown in wrestling and the one most wrestlers will rely on across their careers. Repetitive cooperative drilling builds the muscle memory for correct grip, head position, and drive mechanics without the chaos of live wrestling. Wrestlers who establish a technically sound double-leg finish early have a reliable scoring weapon they can always trust.
Attacker begins in a tied-up position with both arms wrapping partner's thighs above the knee.
Attacker drives head to the outside of partner's hip, steps up between partner's legs, and drives forward.
Partner falls cooperatively to the mat as attacker completes the takedown to a controlling top position.
Alternate roles every 5 reps; complete 4 sets of 10 reps each per wrestler.
Goal
It's clicking when your double-leg finish drives through to the mat without stopping at their waist, finish all the way through.
Helpful cues
- Head to the outside, not in the middle of their legs
- Drive through with your hips, not just your arms
- Finish with your chest on their thigh, stay tight
