Low-Risk

Stay upright, stay safe. Pull first to shift their weight, then pick. No hip commitment, no exposure — just timing and patience.

Target the far knee as your opponent steps. Stays upright, fits high stances, and rewards patience over speed — especially effective from underhooks.

8 low-risk takedowns you can drill today and use tomorrow. Built for grapplers who can’t or won’t hit their knees — every technique works standing, every finish prioritizes control over athleticism.

Use your opponent’s push against them. When they pressure in, redirect and slide past — not under — to get behind. Angle creation at its simplest.
