See an in-depth discussion and demonstration on one of the most basic moves in wrestling - the double leg takedown - featuring NCAA, Olympic and World Champion Tom Brands. Brands dissects the move from the beginning, starting with proper positioning, and going right into set-ups showing how to pop the arm, snap the head, and tap the head. Brands covers six different finishes including the smash double, high crotch to a double, underhook/inside tie, and down block to a re-shoot. Finally, Brands gives a number of options for finishing when the opponent sprawls and forces your wrestler to the mat. Drills are provided throughout the video to help perfect the move. This video is sure to provide some new options to your wrestlers' double leg style!
