Standard Low Double

While waiting for your sticks to arrive, you can grab anything you can find to get started with training, or simply use your hands to practice the motions. According to Paul Ingram at Kali Center, rattan sticks are best for Collie training, but using your hands is a valid way to begin learning the technique.

Paul Ingram emphasizes that you should start nice and slow and not worry about going at high speed in the beginning—you will work up to speed gradually and progressively through focused, quality training rather than just logging hours.

Once you have the five basic drills down, you should work on linking them together creatively through a practice called karenza or solitary free flow, where you explore how the drills connect and mix them in different orders at a slow pace for about 60 seconds.

The Standard Low Double executes the fundamental below-the-knee double leg where the attacker drops to both knees with an explosive penetration step, wraps both arms around the opponent's lower legs or ankles, and drives forward while pulling the legs together. The deep level change places the attacker's head below the opponent's waist, and the arm wrap captures both legs in a single scoop.

The low double has been a standard wrestling technique, particularly in freestyle competition where the deeper level change opens additional scoring opportunities. It gained prominence in MMA through fighters who needed to penetrate past strong takedown defence.

The low double leg is a staple of international freestyle wrestling, frequently used by lighter weight classes where speed advantages are greatest. Jordan Burroughs employed the low double as a signature attack en route to his 2012 Olympic gold medal and four World Championship titles at 74 kg.

Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Staying on both knees after the level change — you must get back to at least one foot to drive / Grabbing only the fabric or shoes instead of wrapping fully around the lower legs / Head down between their legs, where you can't see or drive effectively / Not pulling the feet together — the whole point is to eliminate their base by bringing ankles close.
