There is SO MUCH to learn in BJJ, just on the deck, that takedowns are often an after-thought.<\/p>\n
For self defence however, takedowns are arguably the most important aspect, and if you ever compete as a white belt, a good takedown can often win you a match.<\/p>\n
Ideally you’d do a bit of judo for gi, and wrestling for no-gi takedowns.
\nIf you are old and knackered like me though, getting thrown around is the last thing you want.
\nSo I’ve compiled a list of effective takedowns that you (and me), can practice and drill. You might want to invest in a crash mat though:<\/p>\n
