One of the hardest things to do is take people down in jiu-jitsu. This takedown is easy to drill and effective from white belt jiu-jitsu to black belt level competitions. Mixing a little bit of wrestling into you BJJ can really help not only the takedowns but also your ground game. Hitting arm drags from the floor can also be super effective.

Don’t start your match down by 2 points or with a sloppy pull.
