man thing Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 What's everybody's suggestions for defending a spear takedown, tackle, whatever you call it: somebody ducks, grabs your legs and plows. I have unsuccessfully attempted one and successfully defended another(I consider myself lucky that time). But I have no doubt as to their effectiveness and prefer to fight standing up at this point in my training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pockets Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I think you're referring to a double-leg takedown. Could also be a single, even a firemans throw or other things. Anyway- you have to sprawl. Often times a good sprawl will let you take a guys back pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mai tai Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 good way to practice spraws1 while standing drop to the ground and kick your legs up catching yourself on your hand. anyone who has been on a wrestling team knows this one and i quite sick of it.2find a swiss ball. the big blue ones that chicks love to workout on. kick it agaist a wall and when it comes back try to land your chest on it.3 drill with a partner who is trying to take you down at about 50 % spped4drill live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man thing Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 If I land my chest on the ball, I'm going over top of the attacker. The drill where I kick my feet in the air: I kick back and land face forward on my hands-right? Same basic body movements for both drills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJS Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Sprawl, and get underhooks or a front headlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhDPeddler Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I am sure people are not going to believe this but "squat". Drop all of your weight on your two feet. You are not going to get it the first or second time. Have a partner start out slow with alot of force and pick up speed from there. I also need to add keep your feet close together. When you start to get the hang of it just ram there head into your knee after that. You will also have to work on balance and keeping your knee's close. If your balance is bad...............it's going to take along time. To speed up the process go get a balance board and start there. I hope this helps.

PhD PeddlerI will admit that I don't believe you- because if I went for a double or single and the guy squatted, I'd do several things off the top of my head- pick an ankle, clinch and step one foot behind his and bring him down, or just plow right through him and mount. Also, it seems to me I might be able to take his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
