You seriously deserve an award for all the absolutely amazing videos you produce on a regular basis. It's truly incredible the amount of knowledge you have and spread so willingly.

[@DetailingJourney]

Absolutely true

[@frederickmorton275]

Yes, he is top dog- great channel indeed

[@Dean-gt2cr]

Those kid's take downs are already better than mine, I'm so glad you posted this I need all the help I can get!

[@jagerthedog4378]

I've trained mma for one year, yet no one thaught me to do a double leg as properly as this. Thanks! I've been doing drunk tackles for this whole time

[@katkyle8169]

crap... me too

[@Jaburu]

me too...on the other hand, going into too much detail is probably useless in mma. you will shoot when the guy is allready out of balance, a "tackle" will do it most of the times

[@quinntolchin5727]

@@Jaburu why would you be comfortable with getting a mediocre takedown on a mediocre grappler just because they are off balance?

[@Jaburu]

@@quinntolchin5727 because it's another setup. if the guy is in a wrestling stance I rather knee his head. you have to close the distance, so you wait for an oportunity, or you create it. it's just diferent. Just look at John Jones recent fight for an example. His single leg entry is totaly diferent from what you would learn in wrestling

[@quinntolchin5727]

@@Jaburu I think you're missing my point. Being off balance is not "another" setup. Your opponent being off balance is a great setup in all grappling arts including striking arts and mma. My criticism was not of balance, you said: "a 'tackle' will do it most of the times". That is shitty technique and if you face a good wrestler in the cage, you will need good finishing mechanics on your shot if you want to finish. As he will have good defensive reactions even if off balance. I agree with you that the setups are different, i'm talking about finishing mechanics, which are the same once you close the distance in both sports.

[@garymiles4451]

Staggered stance, triangle foot position, head on the outside. (except for Bulgarian Double) Feign hand movement to the opponents eyes, while his eyes are blinking, change levels while driving forward. No one can keep you out.

[@bristal1000]

My 8 yr old has been at it for 2& 1/2 (Covid messed the 1st season up). This video has taken his skill set to another level!!! Start @1:30 . This guy makes it easy for kids & parents that never wrestled to stop ur kid from taking predictable shots from 50 yards away😂

[@kevinwynne8308]

1. Arms distance 2. Arms in 3. Level change 4. Step in between legs 5. Grab behind knees 6. Front knee down 7. Drive with back leg 8. Swisher 9. Arm elbow deep 10. Shuffle step till down Also straight back with ear on opponent back before takedown Awesome breakdown !THANK YOU 🙏

[@Cmon_]

Love this, thank you

[@lordsneed9418]

adorable and informative. my bjj/martial arts gym simply doesn't do this or break it down like this. It's amazing to be able to access such fundamental, deep teaching.

[@collinloretitsch4731]

Wow this brought back lots of memories. Been so long since i've wrestled, but i did it for 3 years. Depending on your age, some of you might've heard of Collin Palmer (age 34), he won state Championships 4x with a record of 147-4. We were good friends as kids, & on the same soccer team. He is insanely good.......but now he's a coach. **Thanks for the video

[@samirgriggs7696]

That swisher step is new to me. Could never figure out the grip or the angling but this just cleared it all up

[@miguelmelendeztorres]

This is amazing. I've been trying to do it and have never seen it so clearly broken down before. Thank you 🙏💯

[@brandyjohnson8143]

I just started bjj and I've been needing step by steps like this

[@manuelarellano6184]

Hands down the best double leg tutorial out there. Thank you.

[@reeseexplains8935]

Thank you for this. This is good advice and really helps. I was more successful with double leg takedowns today during Jiu Jitsu thanks to this video.

[@filmnlnja]

we don’t have wrestling here in brazil but I love it, thank you for sharing these !! trying to improve my BJJ no gi game

[@fall_owerofChrist]

Thank You!

[@justincredible666]

I wish I saw this ages ago, I've always had trouble with the double leg, all videos I see do it full speed , including my gym too . Looking forward to practicing this when I go back training

[@herogibson]

Man i would have love a program like this when i was little. Not really learning wrestling until high school means you dont really start learning wrestling until high school is over.

i was doing the double leg WRONG my whole life before watching that video... thank you coach 🙏🏼

[@rhirschey]

As a former wrestler, this guy is a really good teacher. He’s spot on about kids not getting the basics taught, drilled and practiced.

[@pkkarami]

Great Coaching.

Great video showing the exact steps for illustration. This is the right way to instruct.

Just subscribed, you are incredibly gifted in your ability to teach and thank you so much for posting a video on this maneuver!

[@BmanTX69]

Great video. I am struggling with take downs in bjj. Unfortunately, I miss most wrestling classes due to my work schedule

[@stuartboorman]

Beautiful video. It is perfect how you have broken it down step by step. It is also great to see the kids in action. Thank you so much. I will practice this.

[@9unslin9er]

I've learned more from 3 minutes into this video, than I did in 3 years of High School wrestling.

[@joeroubidoux2783]

Coach is THE COACH

[@JCBPARISPARIS]

Great video. You're like the king of these four little kids. Question: how do you choose between high crotch and "classic" double leg ?

[@THIS---GUY]

I personally prefer to shoot a high c then switch to double but it really doesn't matter which entry you use

[@TeachMeGrappling]

I typically teach to shoot the high-C on staggered stances and double legs on guys that are squared up.

[@BERTDELASPEED]

Coach I remember having troubles to double leg someone in opposite (orthodox vs southpaw), Could you please make a vid on how to ?

[@fuzzleguitar6944]

Oh yes!

[@exodusxp8094]

im not sure but maybe just go for a single leg or set them up by making them square up

[@BERTDELASPEED]

@@exodusxp8094 Would be pretty difficult to make them square up when in MMA they always try to maintain their stance so they can sprawl. Coming to your single, where do your knee land ? outside or inside

[@exodusxp8094]

@@BERTDELASPEED I didn’t know u we’re taking about mma I thought u meant wrestling or bjj. For single u can do either knee inside our out depends on preference and the type of single and where u want your head to be. I usually do knee outside and head inside. Sweep single

[@BERTDELASPEED]

@@exodusxp8094 Gotchu thanks a lot my man but I know it's not impossible to double leg southpaws so I hope the coach sees the comment on shows us how to

[@guapybalboa1927]

Awesome video! Showing it to my son and making him do the steps

[@JonathanSanchez-yi4rw]

these videos are 10/10! Great content!

[@nednoah1]

Love the videos dog, but where's that Dan Hooker vs Nasrat Haqparast ghost to phantom breakdown? Haha I got the ghost to phantom combo down and I pull it off every chance I get and I love it haha. I don't think you have a north south escape video, maybe you could do that with the breakdown? Just a thought. Thanks for the all the content

Amazing job coach!

[@michaelmagallanes3501]

Great instruction and great coaching

[@achrafaznabat]

Thanks for the video

I wish I could send my kid to train with you, thank you for the great videos!

[@reflexflow9088]

Great Video with great detail!!!

[@stephanwatson7902]

1:24 GSP recently said his secret weapon was that he's left handed and fights powerside forward (this helped his takedowns, gave him a strong jab and allowed him to fight well in either stance). Another useful Bruce Lee concept

[@abdelhamid6674]

thank you for this awesome instructional

[@louskroo453]

Mr Peterson you’re awesome sir thank you for giving us this invaluable information for free I think I speak for everyone when I say that we really appreciate the instruction!

Sould i not get my rear leg to be the frot after the swisher step? And then go for the finish?

[@sand9687]

adam sandler

[@capybara2917]

Love it ❤

[@TheMrprins]

This was amazing

[@jayalias2335]

They do the same thing with boxing. I wrestled in high school and boxed for free and a PAL/boys club and navy team. It seems once a gym charges money people want to get a WORKOUT and from day one.

[@allany27]

awesome video

[@redlightclinicdrummer]

THIS CHANNEL IS FUCKING AWESOME

[@kirin9168]

Hate to point out a few D 1 champs and Olympic gold medalists may disagree with you on this. Burroughs double is a blast though, as well as many other Olympic level wrestlers. Easy on the perfect title.

[@TeachMeGrappling]

There will always be different approaches. Easy on the D1/Olympic flex.

[@francisconikotian2326]

So both in the single and in the double you cut the corner at the end?

[@cocopuffs8554]

IM GOING TO CANADA EAST!

[@akonemanaba4183]

🔥🔥🔥

[@angeladanzig8538]

nice!

[@AuraKnight8]

How do you do the freestyle version like the high/power double? Because the one I’ve been doing is the folkstyle version which you just drive through (which looks like 4:57 the one you showed) because that’s the one I learned in highschool wrestling.

[@jah96]

Lmao I once heard to keep your head facing in on the hip😂

[@minlee5376]

These kids are so dicispljne

3:31

[@tyhatfield7156]

A lot of really good stuff right there Brian My thing is I always go off of my coach when I was working with Dan Gable when you make that scissor switch or whatever you call dad all you’re doing is turning the corner you need to put your head right into biting their tit off. Then the big thing too is this like before your level change the level changes kind of like the drop step.

[@combatsports7515]

Am I the only one who thinks that coach Brian looks like he is TJ Dillashaw's uncle?

[@gutts1405]

Hi everyone, I've studied martial arts for years and am fairly athletic. I'm new to wrestling and I'm having trouble with the penetration step, especially the part where the lead knee touched the floor. People seem to do this fluidly, for me it feels very clunky. I should note I have long legs and a short torso, it feels like my knee bangs on the floor and I definitely wouldn't feel confident doing it without a soft mat. Anyone have advice or video I could look up?

[@andersnilssondvm]

First levelchange straight down by lower your body. Then shoot straight forward and up! You are probably shooting directly into the ground.

[@TheMrprins]

Is there a drill on this when the front knee dosen't go down?

[@THIS---GUY]

You don't have to go to the knee for the double but it makes it a lot more efficient. You could just step deep to penetrate and push them back while doing a "greco style" shot that is higher but easier to defend

[@dumspirospero8201]

👍👍

I would love this same instructional style but with an outside single lol

[@thehermanli]

You read my mind, lol. A few of the people I roll with at my bjj gym did highschool/collegiate wrestling, so I always ask if they have time to show me take downs/effective crossover moves/drills to make these movements more effective.

[@sway71]

Awesome instruction. I finally started hitting my double legs yesterday, but I was clearly missing something on the finish. These details helped fill in some huge cracks that I had (most notably the swisher step to an angle). Thank you!
