Today we will explore how to take down a bigger opponent from the legendary fly weight. In this video you will see that Cejudo emphasizes the importance of never getting trapped underneath a bigger guy when grappling. Of course, a great take down can help you avoid this altogether. Watch the video below and then we will break down Cejudo’s take down techniques. Check it out now!

Using agility and fineness to set up an opponent can be a very effective way of getting a take down. For example, in a collar tie, the slide by wrestling technique can be an effective way to taking an opponent’s back by using their own strength and pressure against them.

Or you could avoid the tie up altogether and go for the super duck. In this case, it’s all about the fake, and finding shortcuts to take the back in order to get the takedown. This is a slick technique to make your opponent think you’re headed in one direction but end up going to the opposite side.

Getting to your opponents back opens up a lot of doors, especially if you are a smaller guy. Wrestling techniques, like the ones demonstrated by Henry Cejudo can be a highly effective way to use your opponent’s size against them.

You can almost see the wheels turning as Henry coaches you through how you can go from wrestling white belt to a takedown machine. It’s his hope that this can help turn you into the best technician and takedown artist you can be!
