Double leg takedown. (1 of 5 cards) Step 1 is… Where does the power of your takedown come from?
Set Your Feet and Change Elevation planting your trail leg The power of your shot is generated from your trail (back) leg. Make sure your trail leg is firmly planted slightly behind before you take your penetration step. To lower your elevation, simply bend your knees and lower your body while keeping your upper body in good position—head up and back straight. This will ensure that you are low and in good position in order to penetrate your opponent’s defense. Read more at: http://wrestling.isport.com/wrestling-guides/how-to-shoot-in-wrestling
Double leg takedown (2 of 5 cards) Step 2- describe the taking of a deep penetration step. How far should you step?
Push off of your back foot and take a deep penetration step, roughly two-to-three feet in front of you. You should not step so far that you lose balance, but you do want a large enough step to gain enough momentum to penetrate your opponent’s defense and get to his or her legs.
Double leg takedown (3 of 5 cards) Step 3) Drop to Your Knee Describe this step. Which leg drops to May? (Front/lead leg or trailing leg)
Roll over your front toe, dropping the knee of your lead leg to the mat in front of you. Do not make the mistake of dropping to the knee of your trail leg or let the knee of your trail leg rest on the mat at any time. It is alright if your trail leg grazes the mat as you shoot, but anytime you drop both of your knees in front of your opponent, he or she can easily defend and possibly take you to your back. This step is the most difficult for beginning wrestlers, but once mastered it becomes as natural as walking.
Double leg takedown (4 of 5 cards) Step 4- Step up With Your Trail Leg
While your front knee is still on the mat, bring your trail leg from behind and step up. This sets you up in the right position to return to your feet.
Double leg takedown (5 of 5 cards) Step 5) Return to Your Feet
Once you bring the trail leg forward, bring your back knee off the mat and step up. Complete this motion by stepping up and returning to your stance. This will help you to get into the habit of returning your feet in order to finish the takedown on your opponent. Make sure you keep your arms tight to the side of your body with your head up during these steps. You must also maintain a good stance throughout the process: Knees bent, back straight, head up and hands out. Read more at: http://wrestling.isport.com/wrestling-guides/how-to-shoot-in-wrestling
