THE FIRST SHOT EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN. THE DUCK UNDER!

The duck under is the best takedown to learn when looking to develop lower body takedowns. For hobbyists, learning wrestling skills tend do be very difficult due to the dynamic movement that is involved within a level change. In addition to the difficulty in the movement itself, practitioners also run into the problem of getting caught in front chokes while attempting lower-body tackles. Aside from upper-body takedowns such as the body lock, the duck under is the next best takedown to master in that the movement is simple and can be applied on much bigger and stronger opponents without much risk. The keys to mastering this technique come from learning how to establish pressure on the feet, win inside position in the tie ups, as well as time the level change as soon as your opponent pressures back into you. In this video, we discuss the mechanics behind the movement, how to set it up, as well as explain why the duck-under is so effective.
