Clinch or takedown

[J-Luck]

lol....damn, J-Luck, you are relentless. Don't be too hard on the KID. You're going to make him commit suicide or something and then we'll all feel bad about bashing up on him.

Back to topic:

This could be because I have a Judo base, but I prefer to get into the clinch and go for a foot/leg sweep instead of a shoulder throw. I use some shooting in, too, but my shoots are like Royce Gracie's in UFC 1. I just don't want to mess my knees up, even with a knee pad.

Hehe... I'm blushing lol.

I think footsweeps are amongst the most underused techniques in MMA... it's a friggin shame!!!! Actually, on that topic, they're underused in most sub grappling tourneys too!!]

Yea, I have never had trouble stopping a pure judokas double leg... except of course for my sensei(who happens to be a certified USA wrestling coach anyway so I'm not sure if he counts). I've often attributed it to lack of penetration step. Though, if set up right, you can still hit the double without the knee.
