Going back to the Gordon Ryan vs Felipe Pena match, we review the take downs executed by Gordon Ryan. They were all simple and take downs that anyone can execute – granted you have good setups and timing like Gordon did.

The first one was a simple back foot sweep. The second was my favorite, the far knee block. The final was another back foot sweep, but with a same side cross line. Check them out and let me know your thoughts.

The arm drag is one of the most basic wrestling movements to take the back from standing. Three simple movements and you will be on the opponent’s back in no time. But, it is also quite simple to defend. Often, you will see people simply tuck their elbow quickly back as they step away to keep their back safe.

We all know this counter intuitively, but there is almost always a counter to the counter. In this case, we have two! The first, is to go into a far knee pick. The pulling back of the far side of their body exposes the near leg, and we can capitalize on that with a clean knee pick. The second, is to go for a snatch single leg by pushing their far side even further away.

I remember when I first learned this back in high school I thought it was a bull crap move. It looked like it wouldn’t work.

That is until I actually drilled it and quickly learned it works quite well!

The key to the Cross Knee Block is to get the opponent to move towards the knee you will block. This doesn’t work statically – you have to create momentum by turning your opponent.

As a bonus, you can easily land right in an arm bar after the take down. 🙂
