The stance phase of the double leg take down begins in the neutral wrestling position.  Both hand infront of your body, knees slightly flexed, eyes looking forward at your opponent.  Your elbows should be flexed at 90 degrees with your hand ready to defend your opponent.  It's important to have a solid base of support when wrestling in the neutral position.
