Walk like a duck

Takedowns

1. double leg
-duck walk drill- slightly angle body to rotate hips more easily
-duck walk drill while pushing opponent back each time

chop knees (like a strike!), drive them into the buckled knee with your head.

setup- either tap forehead and shoot while they blink, pull head down and shoot when they pull up, or block arms and throw upwards and then shoot

2. double leg with trip
-step and trip- outside leg
-step and trip- inside leg
-step and trip- switch head before going down (in better position to pass)

3. ankle pick
-from neck tie- make them step by either pushing or pulling to set it up
-cross ankle pick- probably the easiest one

handlebar motion to take down. Secure grip on ankle or pants or something. Can be done from necktie, gi collar grip, or gi sleeve grip.

Other quick things-

Escape vs. front headlock- control tricep with baseball bat grip, step out and rip head out while driving shoulder into arm and turning body. Similar mechanics to the necktie removal- looking away and shrugging the arm off. Can keep overhook and use it to control.

Fireman’s carry variant. From 2 on 1- duck under and fireman’s carry with elbow while keeping grip. You land in a good position to kimura.

Regular fireman’s carry. They overhook, you drop and shoot high-c, dump them over. Turn into them and establish control.

The thing with takedowns- RELENTLESNESS and setups, traps. Follow up one after another and do it explosively, quickly, and with some power.

Rolling

Had some awkward matchups against lance and larry. Nothing monumental happened. I did a decent job defending submissions- starting to come to knees a lot better once the guard gets passed.

One thing to figure out- keeping the triangle as they explosively try and pop the head out. Maybe hips up and stay with it until they stop turning?

Vs. Ricardo- tucking arms better, still need to improve posture when in side control. Once he gets to a certain point with the double under pass, I have to let it go.

One thing that could help- the Baret Yoshida underhook rip out vs. the double underhook pass. Ricardo has airtight passes, so this could possibly give me more space to escape (with submission possibilities) from the bottom.
