I know that bag. I use it to clean up after my dog.

No left. Are you taking your medication now?
It isn’t an easy task not to be taken down. If you get ripped down low, chances are your head’n for the turf. A keen eye and sound wits about you will help measure any take down.
Now of course all that is easier said than done, especially if you don’t train ‘anti’ tactics. Then you are unproven and stepping into the unknown any time you face an opponent in an open format whether tournament or 4 real.
We do what we train. And we train for what we want to do. Its copasetic. If your not copasetic with what you want to do, then start learning some basic grappling. It just might be enough to keep you up right until you start training..properly.

The whole notion of ‘training anti-grappling’ tactics is fallacious. You will not stop a grappler unless you can grapple. You can’t learn half and think you’ve got it covered.

Is the only way to stop a striker is to strike? The only way to beat a boxer is to learn boxing? The only way to beat a Wing Chun guy is to learn wing chun?

You are not going to become successful against a boxer by taking 20 min. out of grappling practice to trade a few jabs with a bunch of guys who also can’t box.
chingei has caught the correct and pimpslapped it. At the very least you should be training with an exponent of the system. If I am a striker wanting to learn to defend takedowns, I’m not gonna have guys at my school - other strikers - try to get me down. I would go to a grappler - someone who spends the majority of his training time grappling.
if we’re to believe unmatchable’s clip, all we have to do is get our opponent to agree to fight at half-speed, then throw our opponent when they decide to not resist anymore. 
consider other sports – andre agassi isn’t going to go to his local health club and practice against some of the local rec league to improve his returns. if he needs to work on his return game, he’ll practice against guys who can serve at 130+ mph, with and without a ton of spin, and still put it in the corners. you need to put yourself up against a person who will be doing something they’re good at.
rear stepping dragon stance to either side.
Inhale, jump-up; mind your feet around shoulder’s with (slightly greater) be appropriate.
When they get close enough to grab you for a take down, hit them, a lot.
Personally, I tell everyone that may be considering shooting on me for a takedown that if they try it they will end up picking up their teeth with broken fingers!
This seems to work well. Last Tuesday Grandma was acting kind of jumpy and I told her this. She settled right down.
I didn’t think the hook looked this tasty.
I prefer a chair and a whip…preferably a monomolecular one.

Actually that guy on the clip is highly respected Shui Chiao (Chinese wrestling) exponent who posts on empty flower.
You can find more of his clips here:

unmatchable – guess i wasn’t impressed. a couple of those throws barely seemed to work due to strength limitations. add another fifty pounds to the demo buddy, and i can’t see those throws working.
also seemed like it was mainly strength, rather than leverage (particularly stealing momentum and tossing 'em tats up). the thrown person was static – kick, punch, then stand there waiting to be thrown.
Thanks for all the advice guys NOW i will be a hard SOB to takedown and now do not have to worry about ever adding grappling to my game. SCREW GRAPPLERS!!!
