The lead man in the video looks trained judging by his movements, but there's a certain problem with the presented techniques. Namely: they don't work in real time. Especially the ones in which you cross your legs. Doing so makes a person lose stability and pushing on the attacker in such a position would destabilize the defender even further. Not to mention that the attacker could just go lower, grab a single leg and move it slightly to the side for an easy takedown. Many of the movements are too broad and therefore too slow to land in an actual fight where everything should be short and simple. Also, attackers usually don’t go down nor freeze in place after one strike, nor do they act the way we want them to unless we can control them with a lock technique. Everything can work in slow motion. There’s also a name mistake in the video. Defence would be about getting out of the technique that partially landed. What’s presented is more about what you could do if you saw it coming, so the word ‘prevention’ would be more accurate, although not any more useful. In my opinion, the takeaway from this video would be at 5:27-5:33. It shows the beginning of a good technique, but is unnecessarily stretched. It’s usually better to just pull the attacker down without any additional strikes to the body in order to keep one’s balance. Kicking is seldom a good idea at close quarters when someone is going for a takedown because it’s easier to unbalance someone standing on just one leg. This video looks like those of self proclaimed Wing Chun or Aikido masters who only practice among themselves and get destroyed when they face someone of a different style who knows what they’re doing. Both Wing Chun and Aikido can be an extremely effective styles if trained properly, but those that are actually good seldom make videos about it. I’m seldom triggered by youtube videos to this degree, but it looked really aggravating to see good techniques shown in useless combinations and presented as something effective.
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your perspective and knowledge. You are correct that the crossing of legs is unstable but this is only a transitional stance when you remove your leg from being grabbed, as you well know the attacker needs to make contact with your leg before dragging you to the ground. This technique is also used in Kali when someone tries to slice your leg. The second technique is also used and taught by Stephen Wonderboy Thompson from the UFC. These techniques are taken from a form called LIAN. After learning a art and you realise your grappling is not so good, you have to decide to spend more time learning another set of skills or evaluate and evolve the once you have. I appreciate the advice on the name as these techniques are made to prevent the takedowns but it can still be referred as takedown defense. I know we should try to show in real time as you suggest but as you can see I am recording from my kitchen 😅. You are or probably wondering that these technique may have holes against a trained wrestler but the object of these techniques is to keep distance and not get caught and a wrestler would try to catch. But these techniques are just used to defend against a common foe on the street of similar build. As you are aware, the single/double leg is performed very badly by an untrained individual. Sorry if the video was not as clear as i wanted as I am very green to this.
Wa alaikumusalam, love your work brother.
Jazakallah bro

In my point of view :
The force of grabler won't be stopped with a single hand, and the balance of this stance won't resist this force.
interesting to implement this into muey thai and wrestling combo to my mma
