In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), a takedown refers to the technique of bringing an opponent from a standing position to the ground, gaining a dominant position for grappling. Among the diverse array of takedowns in BJJ, certain techniques stand out for their effectiveness and are widely regarded as the “best BJJ takedowns.”
These takedowns are not only efficient in transitioning the fight to the ground but also provide a strong positional advantage, allowing the practitioner to control the opponent’s posture and initiate subsequent submissions or strikes. Moreover, understanding and mastering these takedowns is crucial for BJJ practitioners to succeed in competitions and real-world self-defense situations.
