Standard Double Leg From Cage

You want to be just outside striking/reaching range. Check your distance by extending your arm straight—if you can't reach your opponent, they can't reach you. You don't want to be so far that you have to cover too much ground, but close enough that they can't block or strike you as you come in.

You want to drop your level before you shoot in, moving underneath your opponent's arms which are the main thing that will block you. Keep good posture with your upper body tall as you drive through.

Lead with your lead leg (front leg), not your trail leg. This is faster because your leg is already forward and covers ground quicker. Make sure you step deep so your knee goes to the ground and you maintain good posture with your upper body tall.

According to Jordan Burroughs, you want to bring one hand up as a heavy post to knock your opponent off balance while keeping your other hand at home to protect and defend your legs. This makes your opponent uncomfortable and out of position before you finish the takedown.

The Standard Double Leg From Cage executes the fundamental cage-wall double leg where the attacker drops level from a clinch position, wraps both arms around the opponent's thighs, and drives upward and forward to lift or trip the opponent to the mat. The attacker typically uses an underhook or collar tie to control the opponent against the wall, then drops the level by bending the knees and shooting the arms to the legs in a single motion.

The cage double leg became a foundational MMA wrestling technique during the sport's development in the late 1990s and 2000s. Fighters with folkstyle and freestyle wrestling backgrounds were the first to adapt their double-leg mechanics to the cage environment.
