Short on takedown techniques, especially in no-gi? Well, that sucks… Would be great if you could do something about it, wouldn’t it?
Well, here’s a technique that you’re going to love. Armdrag to Snapdown – drill it and use it as soon as possible, because it’s super effective!
In wrestling and grappling, snapdowns are used quite often. This movement lowers your opponent’s head level and brings him into a front headlock. Wrestlers can easily put their opponents on the ground from the front headlock position and secure points. Additionally, the front headlock is a great position to attack with various chokes in submission grappling. Because of this, many opponents will try to avoid this scenario, and they will always give a reaction to snapdowns. These reactions can often open them up for different attacks, such as double legs.
