Winner of an Olympic gold medal at the 2012 games in London, Jordan Burroughs has proven himself as one of the best wrestlers in the world. Having also won 4 Freestyle World Championships and 2 NCAA Division I national titles, it’s safe to say you could probably learn a thing or two from him about wrestling.
In this segment, shot in collaboration with Eastbay, he shows off some of the takedowns that got him to the top, including his double-leg takedown. Also among the takedowns he teaches are the sweep single, duck under, and snap down.
