Establishing domination when landing takedowns

21.05.2025

Friday morning's class with my Cotswold Karate teacher client brought us onto hour three of his Clinch/Ground-Fighting themed Grappling course. Today we isolated the single and double leg takedowns, focusing on everything from their initial execution to ensuring domination on the ground. This included stopping an opponent pulling guard or taking the back and working from landings where the full pin has not been established.
