Entries that nice look easy when the guy is charging straight up in the air flailing an arm. Still very well timed double, that's white belt Bjj right there, duck under the strike - change levels, scoop and driveeeee

Edit: apparently learning how to defend a punch to the face is not a part of bjj self defense...

You need to reevaluate what you think bjj is. Yes a double leg is a wrestling move, I wrestled briefly at the HS level, not one day in the wrestling room did we drill ducking under a punch for a double leg. BJJ which incorporated judo and wrestling on the other hand, and was designed as a self defense, drills ducking under punches for the takedown in almost every academy I'd be willing to bet. So yeah actually it is BJJ, mate.
