Re: WOTT - Essential Drills - Takedown Drills

Certainly takedown that doesn't require you to roll onto the ground
with the takedownee. Basic Judo throws perhaps--both gi and no gi (Karo
Parisyan has done a lot of research on the latter).

First not everybody has the skill or inclination to follow up once the
other party is on the ground. Second throwing somebody onto the
pavement is most probably a fight ender anyway, unless you're trying to
do it on a Judo expert... which probably will end the fight for you
(not you Kirk, you in general).

OK, I'm starting a series of WOTTs on Essential Drills. Starting this
week with Takedown Drills.

So what are the takedown drills you use that you consider Essential to
your use or that you think *every* well rounded martial artist should
practice?

Peace favor your sword (IH),
