Takedowns and wrestling up focus plan
You are waiting too long before contact, so opponents choose the terms of the exchange.
Why this focus
This result is about initiative. You do not need a huge takedown system yet. You need reliable entries, cleaner posture, and the habit of turning seated or neutral positions into top pressure.
Track this
Clean entries started without backing away
4 rounds: 90s entry work / 60s rest. Score only clean contact plus control.
Drills
- Hand-fight to collar tie, snap, and front headlock checkpoint
- Seated guard single-leg: grip, head position, come up, cover hips
- Underhook wrestle-up: build elbow position, come to knees, finish on top
Round rules
- No big throws unless both partners agree and know how to fall.
- Entry counts only if posture and head position are safe.
- If you stall for 10 seconds, reset and initiate again.
7-day rhythm
- Day 1-2: entry path without finish pressure.
- Day 4-5: partner adds sprawl, frame, or whizzer.
- Day 6-7: start rounds standing or seated and force initiative.
Watch out
Do not hunt the perfect takedown. The first win is initiating safely and repeatedly.
