Cross Scissor Trip Takedown - A Mat Return for BJJ & MMA

The cross scissor trip is a takedown performed from the rear clinch or when you have the back of the opponent. It is often used as a mat return in wrestling when you are unable to step and lift and is a superior option to a simple tani otoshi or rear trip. The more common rear trip ends up with you and your opponent's hips hitting the mat at the same time which gives them an opportunity to initiate a scramble. But the cross scissor trip keeps you on your knees and your hips above the opponents when they land on the mat. It's worth noting that the tani otoshi is banned in John Danaher's academy due to the risk of injury from uncontrolled falling bodyweight and I think it is possible that the same risks exist in the cross scissor trip. 🙌 Leave any feedback or questions you have in the comments!!🙏 ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ 👍 FOLLOW ME: Website: http://www.sonnybrown.net Facebook: http://www.fb.me/sonnybrown Instagram:   / sonnybrown   Twitter:   / sonnybrown   Pinterest:   / sonny_brown   Subscribe!: https://bit.ly/2GEyeDo ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ 🔎 MMA BREAKDOWN VIDEOS: The Stockade:    • The Stockade - Reverse Half Nelson Control...   Phil Davis:    • Phil Davis - Collegiate & Folkstyle Wrestl...   Matt Lindland:    • Matt Lindland - Dirty Boxing & Clean Wrest...   Granby Rolls:    • Granby Roll In MMA - A Wrestling Takedown ...   Dirty Boxing:    • Dirty Boxing of Randy Couture - MMA Analys...   Calf Slicers:    • The Calf Slicer & Calf Crusher - Technique...   The Spladle:    • The Spladle in MMA - A Single Leg Takedown...   Bulldog Choke:    • The Bulldog Choke In MMA - Analysis of a C...   Chuck Liddell:    • Chuck Liddell - The Art of Sprawl & Brawl ...   Karo Parisyan:    • Judo Throws in MMA - A Study of Karo Parisyan   Demian Maia:    • Demian Maia - A Study Of Wrestling & BJJ T...   Suloev Stretch:    • The Suloev Stretch Submission For BJJ & MMA   Renzo Gracie:    • The Broomstick Takedown & Mat Return For BJJ   Lyoto Machida:    • Fedor Emelianenko - Sambo & Judo Throws, T...   Randy Couture:    • Randy Couture - Greco Clinch & Cage Takedo...   Fedor Emelianenko:    • Fedor Emelianenko - Sambo & Judo Throws, T...   Khabib Grappling:    • Khabib Nurmagomedov Grappling Breakdown   Khabib Takedowns:    • Khabib Nurmagomedov Takedown Techniques Br...   Khabib Wrestling:    • Khabibs Wrestling & Mat Returns in MMA Study   Inverted Kneebar:    • Over Under Kneebar Submission - The Dogbar...   Leg Clamp:    • Leg Mount Ride MMA Breakdown & Analysis   ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ 🎧 MUSIC: Mittensさん - jazz lounge ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ 📚 REFERENCES: Will be added soon ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ VIDEO HASHTAGS #crossscissortrip #takedownfromback #matreturn
