Also, I want takedowns that don’t involve putting a knee to the ground for street self defense situations

[@the-laster-frontier]

@@wordandcharacter the snatch single and double come to mind for street situations. Especially after seeing them used so much in mma. Thank you for the feedback, I'll make something for this
