Grappling

A quick takedown that attacks the opponent's near ankle while controlling their head with a collar tie. High-percentage in MMA against pressuring opponents.

A clinch position where the attacker wraps both arms around the opponent's lower torso. A primary chain-wrestling position in modern MMA.

The wrestler's bread-and-butter takedown — a level change, shoulder drive into the opponent's hips, and finish by grabbing both legs.

A wrestling shot where the attacker's arm goes between the opponent's legs from outside, pinching the thigh. Effective head-inside takedown entry.

A takedown that attacks one of the opponent's legs. Higher-percentage than the double-leg against good sprawlers and the dominant entry in modern MMA wrestling.

A wrestling technique where the attacker pulls the opponent's head down sharply, breaking their posture and creating openings.

The defensive reaction to a takedown attempt — throw the legs back, drop the weight on the attacker's head, and prevent the takedown finish.

Japanese judo throw — the "inner thigh throw" where the attacker hooks the leg between the opponent's legs and rotates them over the hip.
