Takedowns

Our Takedowns class focuses on one of the most essential—and often overlooked—aspects of grappling: initiating and controlling the fight from the feet. This adult-only NoGi program blends techniques from wrestling and judo to develop balance, timing, grip control, and explosive entries. Students learn how to execute high-percentage takedowns, defend against throws, and transition smoothly into ground control. Regardless of your grappling discipline, the Takedowns class at Valor Jiu-Jitsu in Orland Park provides the technical foundation and confidence needed to dominate the stand-up phase of combat sports.
