We covered how to finish takedowns from difficult positions. Two scenarios were considered:

1. If you shoot badly and end up on your knees, and you are still far away from your opponent's legs, you need to scramble defensively. Do not let your opponent stretch you out. Instead, get up on all fours and start circling. Do NOT end up like this: sprawled.

2. If you shoot well, but still end up being partially sprawled on, you can either scramble defensively as described above, or continue for the takedown. To continue the takedown, scoot your knees under your chest. This helps you get your base balance. Once you have your base, keep your head up and try to straighten your back. Get under your opponent's centre of gravity and continue with the takedown. Like this: single leg from knees. The blue wrestler (Bruce Baumgartner) has both knees under his opponent's centre of gravity, which allows him to make his back straight, which then allows him to follow through the takedown. Here's another picture of Baumgartner displaying good takedown posture.
