Double Leg Takedown

Double Leg Takedown is considered as one of the most popular forms of takedowns during folkstyle or freestyle wrestling. This takedown is completed by dropping down and driving between the opponent’s legs with a single step. The movement allows the shoulder to hit the opponent’s midsection which in turn will tip his center of gravity, creating a loss of balance. After this, the attacker then uses the force of momentum and the arms to drive through, which prevents the opponent from regaining balance and thus executing a full takedown.
