    There are a lot of good ways to bring someone down. The secret lies in the setup (same as everything else)

    You might want to look at some basic wrestling to get an idea. A couple double leg variations and trips from a clinch would probably be a good place to start.

    In a real fight i think that anybody in that position will get beat pretty badly on the head...

    go to your knees, then stand up and lift him ;)

    That is a basic double leg takedown, there are lots of ways he could take him down from there

    Whatever takedown you decide you like - copying it from a book cover will not give the the timing and skill to apply it.

    Get down to a good MMA or Vale Tudo gym - 6 months of hard training should give you an insight into basic takedowns.

    Are you entering a tournament, or are you just looking for advice on how to pound someone in a fight? Sounds like the latter to me...

    Well i am justlooking to take some one down not in a tournament but in a street fight?

    So do you think if i am going to take some one down like that i should just not worry as much to droping on my knees then getting over him and pounding him ;)

    Oh and also i am not in any MA classes yet but i am thinking about getting into Kick Boxing, Any suggestions?

    If you do go for any take-down one thing to remember is when you change level keep your back straight and do it with your legs - don't bend at the waist or you'll most probably get knee'd in the face.

    Kickboxing won't teach you how to take anyone down - it's all stand-up. Look for an MMA class.

    Another thing to remember .. let's say that you manage a perfect take-down - what then ? You are gonna end up on the floor with them and unless you know what you are doing you could be in a world full of trouble.

    Yes i no that kick boxing will not teach me how to take some one down but that a style of MA that I will probally get into

    well if i do manage a "perfect" take down which i think that arent any but i would either get over my oppenent like on my knees ryt over his chest and go for a couple of good slugs in the face or if i dont decide to go down kick him in the ribs or face that should hurt him

    Step 1: Hurt other guy.
    Step 2: Hurt him some more.
    Step 3: Hurt him lots'n'lots
    Step 4: At your leisure, look at eh way the poor sod is reeling and encourage him to continue the motion all the way to the ground.

    Seriously-- most take-downs are pretty ineffective unless you cause your opponent some degree of pain, first. Having caused pain, you will be in a better position to capitalize on whatever openings and opportunities present themselves.

    Baseball bat to the back of the head works a treat.

    Why do you want to take someone down anyway. If it's going to be difficult getting them off their feet they're obviously fairly large, and if you don't have any grappling experience you'd probably end up in a worse situation.

    Just hurt them, bad, when they're standing up and they'll go down without much more encouragement from you.

    I find, when trying to bring someone down, that it's very effective to tell them my views on politics, all the lesser-known factors that make life increasingly dangerous and of lesser quality; and then when they're softened up hit 'em with my personal financial and workplace situation.
    Few cheery moods have survived such an onslaught without being brought low.

    umm.... no.....

    Takedowns are very good at achieving there goal, goal being take a person down.

    Watch the Bruce Lee movie, Enter the Dragon. Use the technique that Bruce used on the boat when he was teaching a belligerent guy a new technique. You may have to modify it, but it should give you a general idea.

    I have this niffty rule of thumb I like to go by: He goes down first. I wouldn't drop to my knees in a fight unless you were planning on begging for mercy (or offering some love :love: ). I like to sweep his leg while push/lifting him forward, then slaming him down followed by a quick fig 5 armlock (works both in competition and real fights):D
