Double Leg Takedowns: Counters and Applications
The Double-Leg Takedown or “Morote Gari” is a powerful attack that can be challenging to defend against. More than just a “rodeo tackle” this technique, when skillfully executed, is fast, precise, and normally utilized by people with combat sports backgrounds which makes them incredibly conditioned and experienced. Normally MMA athletes along with experienced wrestlers and grapplers have utilized this sort of takedown against live resisting opponents hundreds of times in practices making them very proficient with this attack.
In order to defend this type of attack from an extremely experienced opponent our technique execution and timing need to be on point. This series is for the advanced martial artist who is interested in defending against someone with some skill and not just a wildly swinging clueless but violent attacker. Join us in this lesson as we explore several different opportunities in this attack that allow us to employ different types of counter options that will let us keep our feet, regain our feet, or go to the ground on our terms.
