Dan Gable - Leg double Attacks

[didieARM]

im a judo guy and i don't find this interesting

[Deface94]

whenever i try this i get caught in guillotines or just get sprawled on , any advice ?

[TheLockon00]

@Deface94 I'm no wrestling expert, but I have some idea. If you're getting guillotined alot, you're probably coming in with your back bent and your neck more stright forward than they ought to be. Notice how this guy's head is up high while he does this. Also, with the sprawl, if you catch them early you can lift under the hips and bring them into the air. If you're late, go up into a front body lock and shug their shoulders off and take their back.

[2hurt3]

As he goes in does he squeeze the legs together and drives his legs??

[mikeymessina4]

@2hurt3 lol yeahh.. juts behind the knees and drive into his thighs with ur shoulders hile pumping ur feet

[GOTHICmetalperson156]

Riding Leg Tackle? WTF

[DeiTy4GuiTar]

@GOTHICmetalperson156 DRIVING dumbass listen first 

[GOTHICmetalperson156]

@DeiTy4GuiTar srry fuck tard  :L

[SiestaBay239]

haha why is ironsides always the dummy in these videos?

[MrPhenomenal7]

"YO JABRONIS NOT KNOW WHO MR DAN GABLE IS YO ASK MR KURT ANGLE" Iron Sheik

[derbywrestler]

i love the double leg if you can get in deep enough its incredibly difficult to sprawl

[TtotheYinthemorning]

@uno787 i always used to practice exact form with a blindfold on. Once you have the exact form down put an opponent in front of you and still do it blindfolded. Half of an unsuccessful shot is your fear of missing it then messing up the form. This way always worked to help get me ready for tournaments. Good luck to you

[aquaphone]

@TtotheYinthemorning Thank you.

[hobbes63]

People questioning Dan Gable are idiots, plain and simple, not like he's proven his methods work or anything.

[hobbes63]

People questioning Dan Gable are fucking retarded, plain and simple.

[bodybuilderjoe]

FAIL!!!!! leg double? REALLY?!!!!..its called a fucken double leg cunt-face

[XoticAnswers]

@wynn2003 not rlly i wreslte 215 and got guys up in the air all the time the trick is to get your hips underneath you

[bigdaddy082]

You guys even questioning this makes me laugh. I can't penetrate like that, I do it like this, he has no angle.... This shows why you are and always be mediocre wrestlers if you ever even reach that level. Or you may be you are in elementary school.

[MrWoodyJoe0]

i cant penatrate like he can i have to drop in with my left out i cant get the whole penatrate between the legs thing XD

[evkero]

I have 2561 Olympic wrestling medals and Gable brings me coffee every morning.

[punisher00109]

im a jiu jitsu guy and i find this interesting

[ExperienceRed]

@punisher00109 i feel ya lol.

[Gocl1232]

@punisher00109 figures a jiujitsu guy would find a double leg interesting.....whats so interesting about it?? Its probably the 1st move 6yr olds learn to wrestle lol.

[punisher00109]

@Gocl1232 why r u being sassy?

[punisher00109]

@Gocl1232 i dont think u realize how big of a douchebag your comment makes you sound

[kjang1994]

i like the technique but this kinda went too fast

[RamboJDog72]

this guy has no angle towards his double leg

[yankstudios]

dude is nzsambo retarted?

[aKaMrAssassin]

I personally like singles, but doubles are easier to get.

[KfXrIdEr450r]

@aKaMrAssassin lol i wrestle 215...im a pretty strong kid but it seems singles are easier to get

[unofficialchhs]

@KfXrIdEr450r

agreed, but I find it easiest to transition from a high crotch takedown to a double leg, in the event that the initial takedown doesn't work :P

[racingmylife15]

@aKaMrAssassin IMO singles are easier to grab a hold of...but they're also easier to defend when someone's got a single on you...doubles are to get a hold of...but when you got the shoulder in the stomach and both hand on the knees and your knees between his legs...he's done

[doeiffeo]

@racingmylife15 yeah knees between his legs...its kind of weird...because i learned the double like to make a step right between his legs with my foot and then drive my knee to the ground to offbalance my opponent....

but the guy at 0:17 puts his knee on the ground while hes far away from the legs and hits a really beautyfull double..so whats the correct version now:P?

[racingmylife15]

@doeiffeo I like my way better. Especially if you're not on a soft mat like this. You can easily injure your knees!

[makagon1]

0:18, nicest double Ive seen

[jovanb101]

@bulldogresler93 man i kill to wrestle him he's my idle

[musicalrich1]

Met Dan 3 times, first was after he won the Olympics. While assisting as U.S. coach at (Toledo's)1972 World Cup Tourney, he practiced for 30 min.'s with a State Champ. Gable took the guy down repeatedly, 15 times, without losing a point! He's the most conditioned wrestler ever in this country. A few others worldwide were a bit better. As a coach he recruited so many just with his name -and his skills -so that eventually he learned to be a top-notch coach as well, with 9 straight NCAA titles!

[NZSambo]

I say what I say

if your good is bad, Imaging what is your bad look like

i have eoutline rrors

Keep this way – good for eastern block and less trouble in next 100 years to dominate in free style.

You sound like 5 y.o. kid with such arguments as “you suck ass at wrestling” and “maybe its cause you suck”.

Sorry for you if you cant affording proper education in free style.

And I am (possibly) to expensive for you to provide full high tech analysis about what wrong with this video.

[williamwzl]

Yeah it seems to me my weak little arms cannot lift anyone ten pounds heavier than me that high into the air.

[guitarcrazed188]

@williamwzl you use pretty much your whole body strength to lift them up

[NZSambo]

1st one - called double attack

2nd and 4th - Duck under but wrist application is incorrect

3rd – “side attack”.

ALL ending ARE HORIIBLE - attacking wrestler fall all the time on knees…… it is bed error!

He even falling on knees before the opponent fall……

and if great coach cant identify those basic errors - is he really great?

[TheMdub27]

@NZSambo are you seriously trying to say you know better then dan gable? The guy did the double legs perfect. Im sure if he did it to you, it would be the quickest take down ever cause you suck ass at wrestling. As for everyone else saying these moves dont work, maybe its cause you suck. Ill prove on any of you in live wrestling that they do infact work

[td82394]

I wish I had someyhing to practice these on...

[Sal1the1great]

very nice, the fake, and elbow pop is very nice ways!

[darien40]

dan gable is the best coach but no the best wrestler

[pooptypeuptypants55c]

judo throw- sumi gaeshi is a great counter for thislol works every time!



[Timpham51]

@pooptypeuptypants55c not really. without the gi its harder unless they have their back slouched.

[pooptypeuptypants55c]

@Timpham51 i usually am able to grab under their armpits

[Asakuro777]

@PankrationWarrior enuff said bro!!!!!!

[Asakuro777]

@PankrationWarrior your right, but still. i jus wonder. but i bet brazilians would regret teaching him bjj if he had done it.

[Asakuro777]

man can yall imagine if Dan Gable did BJJ during his years. Man I would put money that he would own. Such a bad ass Dan Gable was in his era and I wonder if he would have the same sucess in present wrestling???

[James92802]

Everyone saying there is a better way - a different way - a MMA way. No one you have ever met can escape being taken down by an Dan Gable trained wrestler! If Gable ask you to demonstrate in his video you are among the best of the best. Maybe you would would like to tell everyone how you would get out of a Sanderson head & heal? You can learn all the moves, all the counters - you can't stop it.

Brock Lester should thank god Gable is too old and pray that Sanderson does not gives MMA a try.

[rednek316]

@James92802 Well Cael is about 80 lbs less than Lesnar (walking weight) so it wouldn't matter if he started MMA. I would love to have a wrestler like him in Middleweight, we have Chael Sonnen, whos the best wrestler in that class right now, but he doesn't have near the credentials Sanderson has.

Sanderson vs Silva anyone :)?

[lbwrstle197]

Nice set ups I liked the underhook post. It looked pretty slick.

[Greevo1]

you clowns are sayoin dan gable the greatest wrestler and coach of all time is doin it wrong???lolo

[mark9455]

@Greevo1 i know huh...they are idiots its like saying michael jordan doesnt know anything about basketball

[maxmadx]

@Greevo1 Alexander Karelin is the greatest wrestler of all time

[NZSambo]

@maxmadx what about Medved? Saitiev? Fadzaev? Jordanov . etc...should i keep going ? and about coach...... some name Yaltyryan, some say Charkov..... Any great coach or wrestler may came only from east but not from USA where is not ground for it.

USA good only with drugs like"Energizer Bunny "

[NZSambo]

@Greevo1 Greatest ?????

What wrestling?

College – sure he is.

Free Style – no.

Judo – no

Greco- no.

Sambo – no.

BJJ – no.

[SEBAzSoFLI]

@NZSambo

yes greatest

no duh, no1 is going tto be the greatest in all those areas smart 1

[SuperBlaze46]

@Greevo1 hes not the greatest wrestler or coach of all time.

[TheTNWrestler]

@SuperBlaze46 PLEASE let me know who is the best at coaching. I know Karelin is amazing and there are other outstanding wrestlers, but considering that wrestling is not the most loved sport in this country and he turns out guys like that and won 15 national titles in around 20 years of coaching, PLEASE explain to me who is! I'll be waiting for your truly AMAZING answer to this!!! And give a real answer, don't just try to insult me to cover up your statement.

[daykellonko]

@SuperBlaze46 You're saying, Dan Gable, who has won all of his Highschool matches and never lost in his highschool years, and who was 2x NCAA champion and has only lost ONE match in college, and no one scored a SINGLE point on him in the olympics, is not a good coach? You must be retarded

[jacksonswastedlife]

@SuperBlaze46 Who is? Percy Pringle? Joe Son? Sal Bandenee?

[Daski69]

@Greevo1 fucking blasphemy calling gable the best wrestler of all time... the best wrestler of all times by far and the best athlete ever in any sport is Alexander Karelin.

[gosciu555]

@Greevo1

Who said gable is the best? What about saitiev?

[123tayler123456]

@gosciu555 @Greevo1 or john smith?

[gosciu555]

@123tayler123456

Yep, or many others.

[SenshidoITL]

@gosciu555 Gable's record is 181-1

[SenshidoITL]

@SenshidoITL i meant his first loss was after 180 wins

[MrHoogabomb]

@gosciu555 gable is the best. plain and simple no argument

[almastyn]

crap! try to watch how caucasy wrestlers doing it, that how you learn it.

[riley3006]

its all about the high crotch

[razaviknows]

love the high c dude, i think you get more options with it.

[castlemeister]

You don't strength to do it. I wrestled 112 and 103 this year and I'm pretty weak and I had an exhibition match against a 125 and double legged hi with this shot. You just have to know right angles.

[chris19861000]

I wrestled at 145 and 160 I quit after my sophomore year I wish that I would have stayed out. . . the double was go to shot that and a low single was my best means of scoring

[ChanseDillavou]

@castlemeister lol....125's aren't known for their strength. You're right though, it's not all about strength. You will get farther with good technique found off of the grinding stone.

[srbforlife]

if i had the strength of the guy in the red singlet i would be hitting that takedown with ease too lol

[castlemeister]

You don't strength to do it. I wrestled 112 and 103 this year and I'm pretty weak and I had an exhibition match against a 125 and double legged hi with this shot. You just have to know right angles.

[uno787]

i caN NEVER HIT THIS

[TheRedneckWrestler]

@uno787 hardest move to get but easiest move to finish

[XcPromise]

@uno787 You can't hit a basic double leg?!

[commiehater1655]

@uno787

you can never hit a double? work on your set-ups then, you probably aren't moving your opponent or your telegraphing your shot early. Close the space and make him step to you.

[XANTtheGREATX1]

not so great this guy false steps with his back leg when he shoots easy to see and its a terrible habit

[bigbirdgrappler60]

are you really questioning bill zadicks technique

[XANTtheGREATX1]

yes

[bigbirdgrappler60]

have u won a world silver medal or an ncaa title for that matter

[XANTtheGREATX1]

yes

[wyattr7]

I went to dan gables intensive camp this summer and it was so worth the money. i learned alot and wrestling with the iowa wrestling helped me alot. any wrester even if not varsity should go

[chisik51]

i appreciate the video... i learned a lot

[Fadur1]

What is that man,really.. this is one of the best double leg takedowns i have ever seen!!!!!So nice,smooth and perfectly done!!!!!And so clear and perfect and easy explaining of it!!!!!This are videos that learn you A LOT!!!!!!Thx for it!!!!!Gr,

[wrestlerstudmuffin]

anyone that is out for varsity wrestling should go to dan gables wrestling camps. i learned a lot at them. learned from wrestling some of the university of iowa wrestlers for fun all through high school.

[rickxaram]

I have been using these double leg setups in practice and nobody can stop me. My favorite setups is the body fake. I wrestle my next tournament in Denver, Colorado for Who's Bad.

[bman546]

To clarify things, Bill Zadick was the 2006 World Champion. His brother Mike, wrestled in the 2008 Olympics.

Also, this is just one variation on a double. There are many different types of double technique. A double with the forehead penetrating through the opponents chest is a Japanese double, and it is effective as well when set up and eected properly. You never want your eyes looking down at the mat. eyes forward, forehead leading the way...

[st23an]

thats 2x hodges award winner mark ironsides in the blue and olympian bill zadick in the red

[untitled949]

the underhook elbow post looked so effin smooth

[lovezitface]

Those doubles are sooo sooo smooth. Great technique.

[talon115]

These are some of the best double legs I've seen.

[MatwinkProductions]

looks like a running spear-buster

[jeremyemilio]

The reason the second takedown involved "cutting corners" was because the guy shooting screwed up and put his head to the wrong side. Head should be on the same side as the follow leg.

[oscarry]

I prefer head in the chest, the way they do a lot in MMA

[jeremyemilio]

Won't work against a wrestler. You need penetration for a good double, or he's just gonna sprawl out of it, or maybe take double underhooks and drive you to your back. Head to chest works on a single because you're lifting the leg and snatching it back away from your opponent.

[oscarry]

I guess you have not watched too much MMA then, seeing that the force of your head hitting their chest also drives them down. Another funny thing about the way I like the shot, they showed it that way at a Iowa wrestling camp I attended, yes one of Dan Gable's.

[jeremyemilio]

Watched plenty of MMA. I didn't say it wouldn't work... just that it wouldn't work against a wrestler. And I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts that what you were shown at the Iowa Wrestling camp was a single leg, not a double. Just leaves you way too open to getting extended, or to double underhooks.

[oscarry]

I kept a journal when I was there to write down what moves we went over after each session, and it was a double.

[jeremyemilio]

Okay. You were there; I wasn't. Can't argue with that, I guess. I will say that I train with some MMA fighters and I love it when they shoot this type of double on me. If they come in too low a hip-in nearly knocks em out; if not, you sprawl, sink in the double underhooks, and drive 'em back over their feet like a jacknife.

[ownage160]

I hate to burst your bubble but i'm pretty sure dan gable knows what he is talking about

[SDFD101]

LOL, Dan Gable knows what he his talking about? No he does not! He only went 455-1, he does not know shit! LOL Dan Gable is the man and if you noticed I was being sarcastic! Who would critique Dan Gable? Idiots! LOL well said Ownage160

[jeremyemilio]

My comment was a critique of another comment (by oscarry), not of the video, and certainly not of Dan Gable.

YouTube really needs to reformat it's first page comments so the thread is clear...

[7DavidKim]

how are you going to tell dan gable what you can't do?

[jeremyemilio]

What in he// are people talking about? I was responding to ANOTHER POSTER who said HE didn't like the way the double shown in this video and preferred shooting with his head in his opponent's chest. My response was that the CORRECT way to shoot was how Dan Gable shows here. He replied that he'd been at a camp with Gable & been shown the other way. Fine. Maybe so. But I've NEVER seen Gable instructing anything like that. I trust my eyes more than some anonymous YouTube poster.

[dezp]

It doesnt really matter where you put your head. Commit with a setup, have good posture, cut the corner. As long as you move your head a bit to his side (not directly in the middle) so that you can drive sideways, it doesnt matter.

Trying to put your head "over" his back is your emphasis, but against good guys you'll end up with your head on the side or quite close to the stomach. Unless your doink a peekout or duckunder.

[jeremyemilio]

What you're saying is right, of course, except that the guy I was responding to wasn't talking about a solid double, with good posture, and a sideways thrust. He was specifically referring to an MMA style shot where you bend at the back instead of your knees, plant the top of your head into his chest with your eyes on the mat, and head-butt him forward while scooping his knees out from under him. I responded that this won't work against a good wrestler, and stand by that.

[dezp]

Sorry I didnt read the whole discussion between you and him :)

People are using that in mma because they can push the guy against the cage, but they bend at the back just to push the guy against the edge, then they drop their hips in, so hes not right at all. Maybe he was describing a blast double? A blast double is often done like what he says, but its because its not learnt properly.

[kingshahine]

i think those are harder to pull off in pure wrestling.

in mma, its a much safer techinque, and it won't leave you sprawled under someone where you are going to get kneed in the head.

gsp pulled the blast doubles off on josh koscheck ncaa champion

[donkiepuncher123]

instead of stepping with his lead leg for the penitration step, he's stepping back with his rear leg then taking the shot. Im used to stepping foward 1st then following through.

[awakethrucolor]

stepping back gives a better level change

stepping forward gives a better penetration

[morgall]

ye i bet you are going to strike good after getting slammed big time.

[mastajupiter1031]

totally open for a guillotine..

[UhSureYeahOkay]

Depends on where you land after the takedown. If your legs land on the opponent's side opposite of your head, you'll be fine.

[JamesLee22]

yeah okay stupid you do a guillotine while hes in half guard. and see what happens dumbshit..

[johncenaposse]

for the love of god

i hope i never wrestle you

that is the most unclassy move ever!

[jeremyemilio]

Really? How many guillotine's did Matt Hughes get caught in back when he was slamming people through the octagon with this move?

[Adamoskates]

none

[InsaneCheeez]

It's called folkstyle...LoL...

[Ma094644]

Oh, i never did freestyle wrestling, just ameture were you get to points just for a take down.

[Ma094644]

When i wrestled, we learned a 4th step,

after we shoot, we turn the corner then finish.this way, you actually pick him up instead of driving him to the floor.

[akimm17]

thats good for folkstyle where the only objective of a double leg is to take them down

in freestyle a double leg is used to take them down and expose the back if you can

that turns a 1 point take down to a 3 pointer

thats why you drive through them to take them to their back instead of just turning the corner

[Rmor15k]

you do know theres back points in folkstyle right lol....

[akimm17]

yea but thats if you have control and you hold them there for near fall

freestyle you just have to expose the back and break a 90 degree plane for it to count as back points

[blargh2blargh]

hmm i like the underhook and elbow post

i'm gonna try that on practice tomorrow

[MakiFortu]

Simple yet effective.

Very nice! :D

[samt0rx]

really cool

[cygroltd]

Great technique!

I wish one day I get even close to shooting like that.
