A quick youtube search shows these,

For the traditional wrestlers double leg:

For the high crotch:

I was taught to elevate the leg & drive before switching grips but that doesn't mean the video is wrong (or my coaches) it's just a slight variation.

I couldn't find a clip for the bull double but I think that one tends to be easier to understand. You get your opponent upright & then hit their belly with your head while pulling up on the backs of their legs. it can be done with a bowing motion or by chanding levels & then standing back up but leaving the head down.
All fighting comes from wrestling.
