Takedown: Off of a Pumble

In a no-gi match if you are locked up (over, under) with your opp and you are pumbling for position....When you're pumbling you are looking to get double underhooks....

1. Whichever hand you just pumbling inside you want to step that same leg forward, deep between your opp's legs....as you drop your level

2. As you pumble....you are going to acheive the double underhook position and clasp your hands around the lower back of your opp.

So you now have your hands gable gripped behind your opp's back and you have one leg stepping deep between his legs.

3. Now just pull his hips towards you as you walk thru him taking his down to his back....and just walk up to full mount.

Tip: Often times a pumble becomes a give and take...you pumble inside with one hand only to lose that control with the other hand, bc your opp also pumbled......so whichever hand you already have inside control with you want to jack that shoulder UP (keeping your shoulder tight to your opp's) making it almost impossible for your opp to pumble his hand inside. This should ensure you get the double underhooks.
