How to Do a Single Leg Takedown | MMA Fighting

Alright here, now we're gonna talk about how to hit a single leg and finish it. There are a number of different finishes, the first is running the pipe, or ride the pipe. So, single leg is very easy off of the southpaw orthodox stance. So, I jab, he comes in, he grabs my leg. Okay, alright, that's when you're gonna shoot. Same thing, southpaw orthodox. I jab, and I can shoot in as well. Okay, so, either way, he jabs and shoots, or he can shoot off of my jab, either way. Or any front hand technique, I can hook, he comes under, he shoots, anyway. Okay now, after he grabs my leg, he's gonna squeeze his legs together a little okay? Now, very important, is footwork here. He's gonna smash me. See my leg here? He's gonna make that leg bend. Smash me down. See that? He smashes me down. Now he's gonna turn the corner, and throw. One more time, he shoots in, he jabs, he grabs the single. Okay, head should be here, don't put your head here. Okay, one more time, never put your head down, do it like he did. Boom! Right there, see it? Look right into my chest. Head - 'cause I'm gonna be trying to do this. Now, smash! Turn! Boom, right there. Okay, one more time. Shoots in, my jab or his jab. Boom. Smash! Ride the pipe. Again, full speed. Now. That's how you do a single leg.

best how to do takedown video ever...I am practising MMA and this is by far best explaination

[Culturedbum]

Someone commented on Conor Mcgregor’s lack of footwork on this last fight, this is exactly why it was missing. Conor puts his leg forward and bounces when he does footwork, easy target for Khabib.

Anyone else who doesn't know anything about fighting, on a grappling video spree?

[noonecares]

My friends were doing grappling today and I was really bad at it I watched a few videos and managed to take down the best grappler in our class multipal times ur a great help thx 👍👍

[otxoawolf]

Easily the best explanation of this technique I've ever seen!

[alexandrehuat]

In short, 1) we remove one support foot, 2) we use the head to push, rotate outside and make him fall

I was sparring mma with my friend and tried this so many times...as soon as i go in he gets me in a gullotine

[malachizarathustra]

Once again just crystal clear exposition of technique. You make it all simple. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

This was excellent. Im not a grappler by training but like to have some basic takedown skills in my toolbox.

Anyone participating in Wrestling or MMA should have a single leg in their repertoire. I highly recommend videos like this for breaking down what you have learned in Training to getting a little bit of understanding before joining class (which is not necessary at all).

However watching these videos in order to train yourself or have a street fight is the dumbest thing you could do to yourself. First one often leads to making mistakes a habit without the supervision of a trained coach, second one will most likely wake you up in hospital. Real fighting is way different then Training technique on paper, every fighter thinking about his very first sparring session way back probably feels me right now.

Stay out of trouble gentlemen and stay healthy.

Great explanation and it's very cool to put subtitles.

Remember to really riiidddee the pipe.

[gustavesoucy-breton]

this was one of the techniques that really helped when i defended myself from a guy that attacked me, i used a single leg and elbow smashed him

[sladewilson]

Here's a better option. If it's the left leg being grabbed; put your right arm under the calf or behind the knee, grab your right hand with your left pick them up, and sweep the red leg, and try your best to make them land on their head. Vice versa with the right leg.

[ahnafabdullah]

That smashing in is difficult for me so what i like to do is revolve to the other side when holding the leg and then push the guy back with my body weight...

Anyone who knows ITF TKD, set up of this tech can be seen in Won hyo. It's the "groin block".

I recommend buying knee pads like the coach in the video when training single/double leg takedowns, you will thank me in a few months
