Yeah the version where you almost put them in guard?

This version for double is pretty much the tits. I mean if you just want - high percentage double for self defence.


Yeah, that's pretty close, but with less pivot, and more getting the legs out from under them. It's more punishing than I'd like. That video gives me the idea that simply pivoting more (maybe I haven't been doing that because of my toes?) would make the fall easier.

Actually head outside single is a very BJJ thing.
It shouldn't be. None of my coaches ever taught me to do a single with my head on the outside. The IBJJF actually instituted a rule banning white belts from shooting a single that way because it's too easy for them to get injured.

Then again, a lot of BJJers have crappy takedowns, so I'm sure some of them are teaching bad takedown technique.
