The Bodylock takedown is one of the simplest fundamental takedowns in Wrestling & MMA. Using a gable grip or similar, we pull in the base of our opponents spine whilst maintaining forward pressure against the upper spine using our head and shoulders. As our opponent loses balance, step across for side control or the mount. In this version of the takedown, we allow gravity to take over and let our opponent fall. But we may also later include a trip or footsweep to compliment the takedown. Give it a go in wrestling practice or against the cage wall.
