How to Perform the Low Single Leg Take Down

[hobgoblin123ful]

they might sprawl too

[6LaCaze8]

this is a very easy way to win a wrestling match especially if you just drive into the knee instead of pick up the leg

[marshMRKO]

YOU LOOK DOWN YOU GET PUSHED DOWN DUMBFUCK

[marshMRKO]

kids stance is terrible he is asking to get a fireman carry

[k3nd4lll]

bad technique.. elbow must be flat and drive with ur head on his knee

[Josephbhart1995]

This is definitely a sweep single leg

[maignan6]

Difficult low single for no reason... Low singles are sappose to be simple and go to moves. !!!

[MaverickWrestling]

The low single is down to the inside not the outside. This is a high single using the low single shoot. If you're going to pick the leg up high, you are doing a high single leg. If you're going to trap the leg low with your head on the inside and then post and circle, you're doing a low single.

going to the armpit isnt a very realistic thing,better to drive first then post it up

[metagadeth0124]

@avenged10425 i agree

[EnochMcDonald]

pretty solid technique

[UnoriginalName]

Couture-Toney ftw.

[nickaplease1]

you could totally sweep the leg then go straight to a leg bar this is a good technique thanks.

[buckeyepower999]

where are you wrestling...like what shool???

[RockerEmoCupcakes]

guys this isnt a bad technique..this just isnt a low single its an outiside single leg

[emosanta4]

we just learned this today for practice and this a horrible technique i learned to changed level cup the hand around the ankle keep your head up drive your forhead to the inside knee and circle towards the leg

[frostedbubble]

u could sprawl out and get him under u easyily ( i know i spelt easyily wrong)

[CPGRAPPLE]

I agree. This is bad technique, I would never teach my kids this method. The video should really be taken down before a bunch of wrestlers attempt this and create bad habits ...

[mysteryguy147]

Dude this isnt some street fight. Its for wrestling.

[ARandomCanadian]

Wrestling can apply to MMA and self defense

[youwastemytime]

Um...you dont punch in wrestling..this is real, and punching isnt allowed.

[543210felicia]

HORRIBLE wat is dis piece of shit ur showing ppl

[curtyboy21]

y would you bring your head so low if your gonna do a sweep single. or if your trying to do a low single y would your bring your leg in so close. if they sprawl your gonna get smashed

[GalryZ]

@curtyboy21 Grapplers know this...

[squirrelJS667]

@curtyboy21 the genius of the low single leg takedown is that you actually have an advantage if they sprawl, as it gives you more distance to build up speed and in building up speed gives you more leverage in this takedown and makes it harder to avoid. the only true way to avoid it is stepping backwards without sprawling. randy couture just used this to beat james toney and said he did it for those reasons. youd have to be an experienced wrestler to avoid a low single leg.

[carlcoates72]

@curtyboy21 the idea of the low single leg is that once you trap the ankle it is physically impossible to sprawl. you can't sprawl if you can't move your ankle. If you miss the low single there are many great recovery moves that are simple such as simply grabbing the other leg and going into the regular single. Many wrestlers have even prided themselves and win matches based on simply the recovery for this move.

[bmac145]

seriously dude...? your technique is so crappy

[Tyblerone]

THis is the most pathetic peice of crap video i have ever seen. Please go back to managing maceys...

[douchevoncunt]

John Smith would puke if he saw this. Look for John Smith vids to learn a low single.

[akdouggernaut]

LOL!!! John Smith would puke! That's hilarious man. I completley agree. If you wanna do a low single, the only way to go is the Smith way.

[Bubbs49]

niiiiice but when ive done a low single ive usually kept driving forward and he falls strait to the mat
