Rainbow_Warrior Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Well..... I noticed that Im not good at takedowns , specially against strong opponents. Sometimes they take me down , and I dominate or win on the ground.I feel that my ground game went good. Or if we are playing under mma rules , I keep them distracted with strikes and can shoot with success . But , when it turns to standing grappling I dont handle it in the way I would like to....I am a slow shooter , and reach they hips from the clinch is not easy for me with strong/skillfull guys.. I know I can pull guard , but I am looking for an alternative , or way to improve my Takedowns.It ussually ends with me on the ground , but in the bottom position.... sometimes I can sweep and fix it..... My defence is not BAD , but it should be better if I am not that good taking down.I practice takedowns sometimes in my schools , with and without resistance. ´´ The evil may win a round , but not the fight ´´ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Perhaps doing some plyometric leg exercises would help to build your quickness for takedowns. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace2021 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yeah, I used to have this problem. Just build up the inside leg muscles, thighs, etc. As Bushido pointed out, plyometeric leg exercises would really help. Anything that builds explosiveness.

bushido_man96 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I recommend the burpee exercise! I can't do it too well, with my knees (although my knees have been better lately...) but it would help you, I think. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow_Warrior Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Well calisthenic and plyometric are good for that . Just build up the inside leg muscles I think is not matter of strength ( I can leg press over 620 lbs and squat 300 lbs) . It may a be problem of explotion , that I dont have.Burpee ! I remember doing that a lot when I was in the Navy ROTC. ... I should start with that again. ´´ The evil may win a round , but not the fight ´´ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenpo4life Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Try greco-roman takedowns If my survival means your total destruction, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
