The easiest way to think of the concept he was teaching in this video, for those of you who might not have understood, is that you should think of your opponent as a tree. What he showed first would be equivalent to someone grabbing the branches and stepping around the tree, that would just turn it. What you have to do is chop the tree down, so your lead hand would be the axe and your head would be the driving force going in the opposite direction of the axe. So essentially you have to drive through your opponent, not around him. Instead of turning him on that support leg, you need to chop that support leg off.
Hip in on the lift. Don't forget the hips. The hips, not the arm lifting the leg, move his leg out of the way. Hi Brian. Great channel. Brian coached my son when he was young. My son won Reno nationals and Reno Worlds. Placed 3rd at Tulsa. Won CA state 7 times: 2 Freestyle, 2 Greco, and 3 Folkstyle. Brian is awesome.
have you heard the story about the student who didnt like his teacher, so he missed out on all the wisdom and knowledge that would have helped him..... ........... ....................
GREAT VIDEO; i have been doing double legs for many years and I still picked up some pointers here. Also thank you for stating that learning to be a good partner, i.e. actually learning HOW TO learn, is just as important as learning the techniques. And it is very rarely taught in any jiu jitsu school. I have trained in several throughout my career and have never had an instructor teach HOW TO learn. So far I have only seen to instructors address this: the Gracie Academy in Torrance, California and you coach Peterson. OSS.
Great stuff. A lot of nonsense in the beginning it felt like. Just cut to the chase. I know you need to go over 10 minutes, but if you show me the good stuff early I'll know there's lots to watch and stick around. I almost bailed.
@@Vscustomprinting I don't think people need to make their own videos to get the right to criticize. After all the whole point of the comment section is to "comment" on the video wether it's good or bad
That’s ironic because I feel like I get blindfolded every time I try a double leg on these Jiu Jitsu people from the world turning black as I get guillotined 😅 That’s when I find someone willing to actually start standing , everyone always wants to start sitting down while I’m trying to get around them like a crab pinching for their legs to throw out to the side
Brian! I love your channel and use techniques from it, too! You do something I used to do when I was teaching, but have since taken it totally out of my vocab. When the student does something so obviously wrong....like letss say he they stepping to the left when they should've gone right and you say, "What's over there? Why would you step over there?" I found the student simply responds better if you don't do that. You used to do that sort of thing in your earlier vids, but you've now become more patient on the vids and your teaching is really become GREAT. Trust me, I'm just as guilty and have said that sorta thing hundreds of times in the past. I'm pointing it out with all due respect. Keep the awesome vids coming! Thanks! (Valente Brothers Jiu Jitsu, 1995 start).
Come on guys, there's a fast foward features on UA-cam. You can skip around or make it faster. Coach is addressing what he saw in his gym's training session and it seems to be a real common mistake that occurs often. It's important to know both what not to do and what to do. This channel's videos are long, but I like the details.
Anyone else notice Leo wasn't looking across enough (i.e. still pushing with the back of his head) and it was causing problems when attempting the drill?
gr81disp I often attempt throws, so my doubles are bad, and my singles are even worse! I’ll be working on it, now that everyone has seen my holes. I didn’t think it was so bad, but after seeing your comment, I’m very aware of it haha.
Usually it’s a little annoying especially if you have leg hair but if the pain exceeds just some mat burn your probably landing to hard and need to work on some balance
Was this video about the double leg or how to be a good training partner? Lol kidding. Great vid, took a bit to get past the repetitive info but good once it got a few mins in
I think people are missing the point of the video for what i can read on the comments, excellent, excellent video, showing how to properly drill, no matter if you are catch wrestler or bjjer
This guy ALWAYS gets his student nervous, it's like he enjoys it. I wouldn't want to be his student that's for sure, maybe it's an ego thing, so he wants to appear to be so knowledgeable
No it’s not an ego thing at all. It’s a deep passion for wanting to have the best students. I expect a lot from these guys. It may not always be the nicest or cleanest way to do it. I may turn some of you guys off.... but I will train students into champions on and off the mat.
@@TeachMeGrappling that's good, but you get your students so nervous they can't even think anymore, they don't even know if they should go left or right, I can only imagine how you are in class without the cameras
I hear what you are saying. You don’t know what it is like but you can make an assumption from what you see in my videos. It is what it is. If you look for something, often times you find it. I’m here replying to you to let you know my students have an awesome learning environment and we all have a good time everyday. I can’t make everyone happy but I do my best every single day and I’m proud of all we have built. Good luck to you!
idk why ppl complaining about this video being too long, he needs it to be long for ads to make money, theres nothing wrong with that. And this video is really useful, it literally point out the mistake and I and many of the guys in my gym make. Thank you for the video coach Brian!
coach,there is an option to do a doble leg takedown whithout put the knee on the ground?i ask becouse if i drill as u show my metatarsal bone really hearts.i m 47 years old.thanks
Yes, its often used in MMA because both guys are standing, that said if the penetration step is possible then its better. The issue with the high double is that in wrestling where guys are so low their head smells like their shoes a penetration step is necessary.
Coach here in INDIA in street fights 8 out of 10 times the opponent catches hold of your Shirt collar with left hand and will never let go of it and start swinging the right hand wildly.Can you tell us the best way to protect one self in such Situations?
Great vid coach! In the same idea, could you do a video about the proper way to run the pipe with a single leg? It’s easier with a high-C but I don’t if it’s often done in wrestling/grappling/mma.
Hey I saw the video and just had to leave a comment thought it was a very informative video and i think you are great with your students. I'd love to to be coached by Brian
Lots of kids with ADHD here. Please move on. If you don't have 2 minutes to absorb his main point, you shouldn't be here. Don't spend even more time leaving your "raging" comments either. Remember, no one is holding you here.
I have a simple question regarding doing double leg takedown in MMA situation. Please don't crap on me for how simple it is. When my opponent has his left leg forward, what are the advantages and disadvantages of shooting for a double leg where my head goes to the right side of his body? Versus the left side of his body? Thank you.
We always drilled doubles following the take down through. It always the person being taken down to dril how to land. (Ie: landing stomach down in wrestling)
I also would like to learn wrestling (takedowns). But I am older and have bad knees the can't bend enough and have difficulty to support my own weight. Also I am taller then most people so going in very low what I always see with smaller people doesn't feel like a smart thing for me. Do you think there is some place for me practising wrestling of BJJ ? Sometimes it feels like it's more made for smaller people against larger people. Not the other way around.
If I may advice you, if you have bad knees I would suggest bjj to be a better choice than wrestling. If it comes to takedowns you need to focus on throws like judo and sweeps like those that are done in Muay Thai from a clinch.
Hey Coach Brian, how old are you if I may ask, and how come you don't have any grey hair? Great videos btw! I've been subscribed to this channel from the early days and some of the techniques helped me alot in developing my grappling game and even helped me win some tournaments. Thnx!
Have you ever tried stepping on your opponent's lead foot with your penetrating foot? I did this by accident once and it pinned their foot down. They were not able to sprawl. It was a sloppy takedown on my part though. I did try it a few more times with decent success. I'm not a wrestler though and I'm sure a good wrestler would have no issue countering my cheap tactic. It does seem to disrupt the opponent's ability to sprawl though.
You made another video on spinning a quarter turn and slamming your training partner on a crash pad. At what point in the progression would you opt to lift and quarter spin slam as opposed to this finish? Will you be making a future video on this?
I loved the tips learned a lot, and i want to hear more on all...Just a constructive criticism keep the teaching of the training partner for another video. Keep the training of the Camera man for another video. Buth those things are important things to know so its great advice but better in seperate videos.
I made it to the end .My patience and everything I hold dear was tested in the first few minutes but I hung in there.😊
hahahahah was thinking the same. Wheres this going?
Dont, take 3+ min to get to subject DONT DO THAT ;)

I disagree, videos are good with a bit of banter.

Thanks Brian. I never get why people try to rush things when practicing. He was clearly not stepping in deep enough
I like his grappling very clever oss
Is it normal to feel pain on your knees when you try this and similar takedowns?
Usually it’s a little annoying especially if you have leg hair but if the pain exceeds just some mat burn your probably landing to hard and need to work on some balance
Don't knee the ground. Ram your opponent's hip with your shoulder then land your knee.
Think of your knee like a stone skipping on water. The shot is forward movement, not downward. Buy a knee pad and keep practicing.
Joey come on man, you are a mile away...
I am just kidding. Thanks for the video.
