Grappling

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 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.

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