Takedowns

A takedown is a tackle, throw or slam that is intended to get your opponent on their back and in bad postion where you can pin them and pound their face in or where you can shoot for a submission and finish the fight.
Double leg: The double leg takedown is one of the most commonly used takedowns. The goal of the double leg is to attack both of your opponent's legs at the same time to knock them off balance. There are multiple ways to finish this move but the end results are usually the same the only diffrence is sometimes you may end up in full gaurd and other times you may end up in half gaurd. (Its better to end up in half.)

Single leg: The single leg take down is also a popular takedown the ultimate goal of the single leg is extremely similar to that of the double leg except you only attack a single leg insted of both of them. there are alot of ways to set up the single such as fake for a double but only grab one  simply shot for one leg or fake for a hip toss then attack a leg. Because the single leg is easier to shoot for and easier to finsih with less danger of a a submission most newer fighters chose a single leg over the double leg. the move is usually finished in half guard.

Suplays: Suplays are HUGE power-slams usually done from a bear a hug there fun to watch, fun to do and they usually hurt like hell these types of slams are extremely popular among exprianced grapplers and giant power house style fighters. The move is usually finished in side control, half gaurd, or rear mount if you throw a rear suplay.

Hip tosses: Hip tosses are extremely awesome looking and are my favorite type of takedowns. they can be hit from almost any where and are a great way to catch a lazy or tired opponent of gaurd nailing a good hip toss will put your opponent in big trouble, win you big points and if know how to ground-and-pound or how to submit you are likely only a few short seconds away from victory.

The X-Sweep: The X-SWEEP sucks. You pretty much wrap your legs around your opponents and attempt to use your weight to knock them down. lots of people like it because it looks cool and opponent won't generally see it comeing. How ever the chances of the move actually landing is very small. It is ended with a knee bar trying to be locked in seeing as its the only thing its good for.
