How do you take someone down quickly and effectively?

Question

I would like to know how youn take someone down kind of like big boss in MGS3 through CQC.

Even though they may be stronger/bigger than you.

Answer 1

Proper weight distribution and leverage.  Take downs are applied where advantage is exploited.  To sweep someone you must setup control of their movement and then pounce once they move.  To throw you must off set the weight, move into your throwing position, lower your hips, up root the attacker and then executive your throw.

To take a leg you must bait your opponent, get them to commit and explode into position, drive through and execute the move.  

In all of these techniques you must recognize your advantage, know your best attack and flow to a counter or different movement to complete your take down if your attacker gives a good defense.

The element of surprise is a strong alley in take downs.

Misdirection, control of movement and angling are important for any take down to work.  Mental commitment and proper angle of attack are critical.

To take down a larger attacker you can try a heel leverage.  Drop to a turtle position on the ground facing your attacker, get low to the groound and keep your hips down, stay on yoru toes, don't allow your ankles to touch the ground behind you your attacker should be stepping toward you.  Grab their lead heel, cupping both hands overlapped one on top of the other behind their forward heel, hold the heel near the ground.  Drive your corresponding shoulder (right heel = right shoulder, left heel = left shoulder) into the area immediately below the knee joint.  The faster you explode with your shoulder (your forward movement and power comes form your legs and by driving your toes into the ground behind and under your hips that are low to the ground) while pulling your cupped hands in toward your center and their heel toward your core the more likely you are to break or strain the knee joint by locking it out.  Your attacker should end up falling directly to their back.  You'll end up with their ankle in your hands so you can execute a toe hold, ankle leverage etc...

This is a surprise take down that works on the street, in competition on the mat and in the cage.  

Remember you don't want to be on the ground if you are facing multiple attackers, it's the surest way to get stomped on the ground if you get caught there.

I hope this helped in some way.
