Wrestling 101: Single Leg Takedown

The single leg takedown is a common technique used by wrestlers of all skill levels. When done quickly, it can put your opponent on their back.
“(A single leg takedown) is a basic takedown where you are attacking only one of your opponent’s legs and your head will be on the inside of their leg,” former national team assistant coach Erin Vandiver says.
You will start the single leg takedown in your stance. You will then shoot in, hook your arms behind their knee and use your trail leg to get back to your feet.

Excellent. I am loving the utilisation of different camera angles, as it makes it so much easier to wrap one's mind around the technique.

[@Noslack412]

So if I start right leg forward would I need to attack the opposite leg?

[@JaySeoulMusic]

Switch your stance to match their lead leg you should be able to shoot from both sides if you cannot practice it .

[@Mma-basement-215]

​@@JaySeoulMusicyou can attack either leg I would look at Jordan Burroughs takedowns on KZbin he breakdown double and single leg takedowns probably better than anyone on KZbin as far as explaining

[@Mma-basement-215]

​@@JaySeoulMusicI agree switch stances getting comfortable shooting with both legs will make your around wrestling games better
