Best Takedowns for Jiu-Jitsu

Just like being entirely a guard player or entirely a passer is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, so is not having any kind of takedown game. And it's not just for the competitors, either. There is an expectation that all Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners be more well-rounded... both on the ground and on the feet. 

And while there is a vast universe of wrestling takedowns and judo throws - each with their own advantages and drawbacks -  not all of them are the best choice for your jiu-jitsu game. If you haven't spent your life in the wrestling room or the judo academy, you may feel a little overwhelmed. Never fear, here is a short-list of some of the best takedowns for the jiu-jitsu practitioner: 

• Single-Leg Takedown
• Double-Leg Takedown
• Inside Trip (Uchi Mata)
• Seoi Nage (Shoulder Throw)
• Ankle Pick
