Double Leg Shot to Leg-Control
I posted a shot to leg control before, but this one is slightly different. this is a more traditional double leg takedown entrance and is only changed to leg control at the last second before the takedown. we were working this variation in class today so i figured i would record it.

shot 2

the lift

the drop

latch on

finish
your shot should be the same as it ever was. im no expert on wraslin' so im not going to give minute details on how to shoot. just get yourself to their legs with your head on the outside and your good to go for this technique.
press your head against their side and swing your outside leg in front. begin to drive back into them and left that lead leg.
get their lead leg to the outside of your legs as you drive them sideways just like a normal double leg.
right as they expect you to try and put them down, you are going to sit both of your legs through theirs into a good half butterfly. your inside leg should be bent knee to your chest and other leg should push strait through.
bring your extended leg around theirs, and squeeze your knees together while applying pressure to their free leg in order to bring them down.
once they hit the floor play your leg control game as usual.

Way cool Reilly! I love the fake-out!
I don't have to win every time, it doesn't bother me in the slightest to get tapped. So I'm able to learn the ins and outs without my ego getting in the way. - Eu

Im expecting at least one comment saying, "theres no reason to go to ur back once ur through ur shot and you've turned the corner!"
I love ankle attacks and the way this technique switches from the TD and drops to wrap the opponents leg with the whole body!!! NICE!!!
very nice!

I don't think most people would ever see that comming. Plus you should be able to develop some options to attack a leg if, for example, you wanted the takedown but couldn't get it.
I love it! Any time you can get your opponent focusing on one thing while you do another is great for the setup.
Out of curiosity, do you run into any problems with getting caught in a guillotine when your head is placed like that? I was always taught to keep the head to the inside when doing the takedown, and was wondering what you do to prevent that choke.
sicarii:
head on the inside, as apposed to head on the outside would depend more on the type of takedown you are trying to do. i tend to put my head on the outside for double leg takedowns, and my head on the inside of single leg takedowns. but yes, in general it is safer to put your head on the inside.
sergio da silva:
you have a good point that i probably should address:
If some people have questions like, "why would i drop to leg-control rather then do the takedown, my answer is very simple:
I grapple to finish.
if i see an opportunity to finish the match half way through a takedown, then im going to take it. just as people jump on their opponents back when they are behind someone as apposed to doing a suplex or takedown.
if you think of leg-control the same way you think of back-control, in that it is a position of dominance at which your opponent is very close to losing, this video will probably make more sense to you.
@sicarii:
If you keep your chin up high (look towards the horizon), and keep your head tight against your opponent's ribs, it's generally very difficult for him to get a guillotine.
But like Reilly said, you're certainly safer with your head on the inside. I generally shoot with my head on the outside, though, just because I find that it makes the shot more effective.
I'd say do whatever you prefer.
@ Reilly, thanks for the vid! Great stuff as usual.
Reilly, you're like me...if I touch your leg, I'm lockin' it!
"it is a position of 'dominance' at which your opponent is very close to losing"
Nicely put!!!
Great set up!
Think it's good for little people competeng against the heavys. When you are fast to get the legs, but not strong enough to lift up.
hard sparring session is like a cold shower in a warm day. It feels good.

beautiful. sambo and catch wrestling have very similar mindsets: if i get leg control, start worrying...or tapping, whichever comes first.
Nice. I am going to give it a try
wow, opponent still wondering how he'd fall not knowing the submission is close at hand... sir reilly, what's the best move for your opponent when he realizes you're going for his leg? thanks.

I enjoyed working on this last night, it was a fun move, but something I'd wouldn't use outside of a ring as it brings me to the ground and commits me to the opponent more than I would like.
