Pummeling to Uchi Mata Takedown (Advanced)

Coach Ezekiel Zimmer demonstrates the proper entry and control for an Uchi Mata takedown. He starts by pummeling and uses it to make the opponent step forward. He emphasizes using footwork and hip movement to close the distance, rather than relying solely on leg strength. Ezekiel explains how to position the hips and maintain close proximity to the opponent for optimal control. He then guides through a drill that focuses on closing the distance quickly and efficiently, mimicking a high kicking motion to execute the Uchi Mata takedown.
