Ouchi Gari / Inside trip Takedown: How to set up and finish

The inside trip is one of the prettiest moves in wrestling. Judokas know this move as the Ouchi Gari, and while there are some technical differences between gi and no gi, the main principles remain the same. If you can execute the inside trip in one style of grappling, you can most certainly execute the inside trip in another style.

Additionally, a subtle trick is to pull the opponent up while executing the move. This makes it easier to move the opponent and trip the opponent. After hooking the leg, you can then pull your opponent’s weight down to knock them off balance.

Takedown breakdown: Jon Jones’ use of the inside trip

While there is evidence to suggest the wrestling skill and strategy of Jon Jones has regressed in recent years, the long-time UFC light heavyweight champion has delivered plenty of memorable wrestling moments throughout his career.

Early on, his best takedowns came off the clinch pressure of his opponents. Fighters like Stephan Bonnar would push straight in, from any tie-up, then gasp in surprise as Jones countered their momentum and sent them head over heels.

Eventually, as Jones’ stock rose and fighters began to scout him, his opponents stopped giving him such easy looks in the clinch and looked for ways to stall out or exit those clinch positions.

Similarly, leg attacks weren’t just falling into his lap as they were before, the majority of his opposition recognized that leaping straight in against a wrestler was a bad idea.

These sweeping strategic changes led to the development of Jones’ modern wrestling style in MMA – double legs against the cage.

Jon Jones hits a beautiful inside trip-to double leg

Jon Jones has looked for an inside trip a good number of times throughout his UFC career.

It’s a tough maneuver to pull off in mixed martial arts, the ideal situation would be your opponent planting or pushing in from over-unders. However, if they see it coming, they’re going to back out and you’ll fall short. In a wrestling or grappling context you’ll have time to play with the timing, but with the threat of clinch striking those opportunities aren’t always as available.

Against Stephan Bonnar, Jones was able to freeze him up with a two-on-one and use his length to attack the far leg on the inside trip, which was really only possible because of Bonnar’s narrow stance and the length of Jones.

But when faced with an opponent with a wrestling background and a bit more defensive awareness from static positions like Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Jones had no success. Unlike some of Jones’ other clinch attacks, detailed in this piece , there is no real creation of motion or setup for his inside trip. On his osoto gari or his hip throw, for example, Jones is kneeing straight up the middle, forcing his opponent to turn in, attempting to shield their body. This lines up their hips and stance for a number of attacks.

With the inside trip, Jones is able to step in and hook inside with his lead leg, but his opponents are still strong enough in their stance that they can step out and get their hips back.

In mixed martial arts, if your opponent is thwarting your attacks by backing straight up, there’s a simple solution. Pressure to the outer boundaries until they run out of real estate.

Against Lyoto Machida, Jones demonstrated how to capitalize on this concept.

VIDEO CLIP: Jon Jones finishes takedowns using the inside trip near the cage

There are a few interesting points to note here.

Similar to what we’ve been seeing from Petr Yan lately, Jon Jones uses reactive head movement to enter into clinch situations. While Yan has been hitting outside slips to move off-center and pivot, Jones is more so ducking and crashing in. He’s much closer to a younger Jussier Formiga .

Jones sees Machida throwing the lead hand, anticipates the rear hand and dips under as he steps in to enter the clinch.

As Jones rises back into his stance, he snatches up an overhook on the lead-side and digs an underhook on the far-side.

The two are fighting in an open stance matchup, meaning their lead feet are aligned. It’s the perfect situation for an inside trip.

There are two typical finishes in a wrestling context for the inside trip. The first relies on creating motion to set up the entry. The attacking wrestler looks to pull their opponent into them without compromising their own stance. Once that motion is created, they can “crow-hop” in and hook that inside leg. The trip is finished largely because of the way the explosive entry capitalizes on their forward momentum, knocking them straight over. The more common finish is more reliant on the attacking wrestler’s motion after the entry. From a relatively static position, the attacking wrestler hops in bladed to hook that lead leg, then torques toward that tripping side as they square their stance back up and bear their weight forward. The defending wrestler’s weight trends toward the weakened side of their base, and they fall.

As he’s the one pressing forward, Jones opts for the latter finish.

While his lead hook is a bit shallow and low on the leg, it’s enough to put Machida off balance. Jones sinks down on that overhook, sending Machida falling backward, and he punches with the underhook, pushing him into the cage. A nice touch is that before attacking the trip, Jones stands tall with the over-under, straightening Machida in his stance and narrowing his base. Because Machida is focused on staying upright once the trip comes, he’s completely vulnerable to the ensuing double leg.

The double leg itself comes directly off the motion of the inside trip. As he hops in on the trip, Jones slides his underhook down to the leg, and reaches through the overhook on the other side to secure the double. Jones is essentially using the inside trip to fall into this double leg entry, and Machida has nowhere to go.

Jones finishes the entry on his knees, bundles the legs and pressures in with his head in Machida’s chest. As he stands, he yanks the legs straight out and lifts them high. That, in combination with that head pressure, puts Machida on his back.

Jones hits one of the most exaggerated cage doubles I’ve ever seen. On the rise he literally jumps to get height on Machida’s legs and flings his hips backward. It’s an extremely effective method for peeling your opponent off the cage with a double.

It’s a beautiful sequence, but the way Jones was able to manipulate Machida’s posture, as well as his ability to secure a tight double through an underhook, is a tall order for most other fighters. Those techniques and strategies are largely viable because of Jones’ unique attributes. Kevin Lee is one of the only other fighters you see consistently locking doubles through his opponents’ underhooks, and his arm proportions are similarly freakish for the weight. It takes a combination of rare physical attributes, including tremendous strength.

In a way this inside trip-to double from over-unders is a great representation of Jones as a fighter. There is plenty of deep and valid technique involved, but it’s something that could really only work for him in this specific way. Jones and his team have crafted a game that suits him, and despite any holes or room for improvement, he’s been able to execute repeatedly against seasoned pros.

Trip To The Double Leg With Katelyn Jarrell

In wrestling, the double leg is a lot of people go to techniques for starting an engagement. It’s also the gold standard takedown that a lot of people want to land in wrestling. This means that since a lot of people go for double legs, most people get pretty good at defending against them. 

This means that if you want to land a double leg you're going to need to be a little bit more creative. This means you need to know how to not only set up double legs, but also be able to recognize when you are in position to get a double leg.

Luckily for us there are a ton of moves that if they don’t work, they at least set you up for another takedown. In this case we are going to be looking at how after going foran inside trip, your opponent is wide open for a double leg. 

In this video, Katelyn Jarrell goes over how you can get a double leg off of your own inside trip. 

Who Is Katelyn Jarrell? 

Katelyn Jarrell is an American wrestler and national Judo competitor. She won a bronze medal in Judo at the Pan American Championships in 2017. She is also a 5-Time US World Judo team member and the youngest person to ever be put on the US Senior National Team for Judo. She is also, at the time of writing, ranked 27th in the world in her weight division for wrestling. 

Inside Trip To Double Leg Set Up

The video starts off with Katelyn talking about how perfect the inside trip is a set up to a double leg. This is because after you go for an inside trip, if you don’t get it you aren’t close to a double leg position, you are literally already there. 

To defend against the inside leg trip, your opponent is going to need to step out and create a wide base to catch themself. From here you can simply just step out with your standing leg and push off the leg you used to complete the inside trip to finish the double leg. 

AS soon as your opponent steps their leg out, immediately pop up to finish the takedown. 

Sometimes you could have a situation where they don’t defend the inside trip by stepping out but they are able to avoid it. This usually means that they are stumbling backwards and are off balance. Don’t take that  as a reason to not still try to finish the double leg. Them stumbling around is a good thing and you can still land this double leg off of a failed defense. Remember that even if they don't defend properly you will end up in the perfect double leg position either way.

He started late, as a 7th-grade student he was approached by a long time Patchogue-Medford Coach Craig Kelskey who promptly told the young Garone that he was wrestling, basically, he was drafted into the sport. He was born to wrestle and it is a credit to coach Kelskey that he could sense that early on. Once he stepped on the mat there was no looking back. Nick’s HS career was legendary as he was a 4X All-League Wrestler & Champion, 2X All-County wrestler (1X Champion) that culminated with him becoming Patchogue Medford’s first individual Section XI & New York State Wrestling Champion, in 1986. That same year Nick Garone was voted Suffolk County “Wrestler of the Year” as well as being designated as an HS All-American. In addition, Nick showed a great affinity for the international styles of wrestling where he collected 6 Empire State Games Gold medals and was a 5x NYS Champion (3X Freestyle & 3X Greco Roman) Nick continued his wrestling at the next level wrestling for Syracuse University under legendary coach and Olympian Gene Mills. After transferring to Old Dominion and wrestling under another legendary coach, Gray Simons Nick claimed a Division 1 All-American finish, placing 5th in the D-1 NCAA tournament to close out his collegiate career. He continued to wrestle freestyle full time medaling in international events like the Rokoczky Cup in Hungary, taking 3rd in the European Championships as well as winning the NYAC International Tournament and being named Outstanding Wrestler.1991 saw Nick win the Asics Tiger National Championship, the US Olympic Festival Eastern Qualifier and take a Silver Medal in the Olympic festival in Los Angeles, CA.

He coached Maverick and Travis Passaro to individual NYS Championships, coached the first 5x NYS Champion and 6X NYS Finalist in Adam Busiello, and is currently finishing out the career of NYS Champion Zach Redding who is a senior. His wrestlers have gone on to the next level, following in their coach’s footsteps at prestigious Division 1 college as Hofstra University (Passaro’s), Arizona State (Busiello), and now soon Iowa State (Zach Redding).  Nick is an unwavering supporter of wrestling at all levels as evidenced by his constant involvement in all aspects of our sport. Nick Garone can often be heard broadcasting the play by play of both college and High school wrestling events on networks such as NBC Universal, Fox College Sports, and MSG Network.

His ripple effect extends much further beyond that as Nick Garone also has starred in a weekly podcast “On the Mat’ with Newsday, featuring Gregg Sarra, Andy Slawson, and Nick Garone, as well as a series of DVD documentary videos called “Inside Trip”.  Mr. Garone also helped produce several Grapple at the Garden HS All-Star events at Madison Square Garden and in Suffolk County as well. That alone would be enough but there is so much more. He has branded his own sports athletic apparel company, X-Athletic that provides top-quality wrestling apparel focused on combat sports. To that end, Nick Garone was able to secure 4X NCAA Champion & World Champion Kyle Dake as his spokesman. Nick Garone serves as his manager and has formerly represented some other high-profile wrestlers, such as World and Olympic Champion Helen Maroulis,4X World Champion, Adeline Gray, and World Team Member and NCAA Champion Tony Ramos. “Leave your Mark” is his mantra for his company X-Athletic, it’s not only a slogan but the way of life for your new HOF member, Mr. Nick Garone.
