Single Leg Takedown

From FightWiki

The Single Leg Takedown can be performed and finished in a variety of ways. The basic concept involves shooting in and grabbing one of the opponent's legs. The best position with the leg is to elevate it. From here the takedown can be finished with trips, knee blocks, treetops, or the fighter can even choose to cut into a double. The Single Leg Takedown is relatively easy to snatch, but comparatively more difficult to finish against a strong defense. There are several variations of the single leg takedown. The High Single, the Low Single, and Sweep Single are pictured below. Also a variation on performing these takedowns is either "Head Inside" Single or "Outside" Single, which is refering to the placement of your head either on the inside of your opponent's leg or the outside.
