unknownstyle Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 i just know that you can run into a scissor kick "Live life easy and peacefully, but when it is time to fight become ferocious."
Maddwraph Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 everytime i run in for a double legged, i get guiltioned, how can i prevent that? Im brasilian, but live in the united states. Really enjoying martial arts.
White Warlock Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 i would have to see a video of you getting in that situation to provide reliable insight, but i 'guess' that it is because you are leading with your head and not bending at the knees. Read my post in this thread... it covers this. "When you are able to take the keys from my hand, you will be ready to drive." - Shaolin DMV TestIntro
SubGrappler Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Your back and spine should be arched as if you're looking towards the ceiling when you attack with a double leg. If your base is correct, your opponent will be unable to wrap your head, not to mention that you will be driving him to the side.An idealistic double leg will often finish with you in cross side or half guard.
Maddwraph Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 i bend at the knees, i guess i just keep my head straighta t them. i should probably keep it looking straight. Im brasilian, but live in the united states. Really enjoying martial arts.
unknownstyle Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 drive up into them so their hurt and cant get the gullitine "Live life easy and peacefully, but when it is time to fight become ferocious."
NotQuiteDead Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 One variation of the double leg that I learned in wrestling is what the coach called an "olympic double". Instead of putting your head outside their hip, you put your head on their chest or stomach, wrap your forearms around the backs of their knees, and drive straight into them. You'll probably end up in their full guard but you can avoid the guillotine.
White Warlock Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 I am aware of the one you are mentioning, although not aware it is called the 'olympic double.' The problem with that particular one is that it is dangerous, in that if they do succeed in doing a sprawl 'while' you are gripping their legs, it can present significant pressure on your neck as your head is 'trapped' in their abdomen while they lean back and you get pulled forward.

NotQuiteDead Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 True, but Maddwraph asked how to avoid the guillotine lol. I only tried that double leg variation once in practice, and one of the coaches got mad at me because he thought it was just a sloppy double leg... I couldn't get it to work very well either so I just stuck with a normal double with the outside trip finish.
