double leg takedown

A double leg takedown is a wrestling move used to bring an opponent to the ground by attacking their legs. The person executing it typically lowers their level, drives forward, and grabs both of the opponent's legs with their arms. They then lift and drive backwards or sideways, forcing the opponent off balance and onto the mat. This move relies on timing, leverage, and proper technique to control and eventually take the opponent down efficiently. It's commonly used in wrestling, MMA, and other combat sports for gaining a dominant position.
