Finishing the double leg against the cage

Set-up

Most cage doubles start from a clinch or a level change behind punches. Your head goes to the side of their body you are driving towards, ear tight to the ribs.

Steps

• Level change and drive the lead knee to the mat between their feet.
• Lock hands behind the knees — not around the waist.
• Walk your hips out at an angle so the fence can't hold them up.
• Turn the corner and drive through, landing in side control or half guard.

Common mistakes

• Driving straight in: the fence absorbs your power.
• Head in the middle of the chest, inviting a guillotine.
• Stopping after they hit the mat instead of passing immediately.
