Positions/Double Leg Takedowns/Penetration Step Double

Penetration Step Double

Position Details

The penetration step double emphasizes proper penetration mechanics with a deep knee step between their legs before securing the takedown.

Key Principles

  • Change levels with good stance
  • Drive your lead knee deep, touching between their feet
  • Your shoulder drives into their hips as your knee lands
  • Secure both legs and finish by driving through

Concepts

  • Deep Penetration: Knee must go past their feet
  • Level Change First: Level change initiates the shot
  • Hip-Knee Coordination: Hip drops as knee drives forward
  • Finishing Posture: Head up, back straight for driving power
