can i just tackle his legs?

[zeerebel]

if you just tackle, he can just sprawl. This give you more variety in your arsenal

[kantaroth]

I was wondering, after you hooked both legs with your arms, and drive with the shoulder. Which leg should you use to kick off with?

[zeerebel]

Good question, the leg that is bent. That leg will give you extension-drive that you need

[datboiko15]

my single leg take down is kinda diferent, i shoot in with one of my knees between your legs then i get on a power stance with my other leg and put side of my head (ear) on your belly right under chest and attempt to make you lose balance or over power you till you fall, if im wrong correct me anybody, ( varsity wrestler high school )

[KyleSingsIt]

What an awesome looking gym.

@hiptossu76 is there a YouTube demo of this ?

[hiptossu76]

@cburcinc the best takedown to attempt on a good wrestler is called a sweeping single. When they sprawl, the leg is yours(if you perform the technique properly), then you simply hold his trapped leg and drive up and across his body and snatch the far leg. This takedown works well on many skilled wrestlers.

[cburcinc]

@hiptossu76 Yes, but a good wrestler can stuff any takedown attempt (unless your skill, speed, and power overwhelm him). All things being equal, what type of a takedown is a good wrestler LEAST likely to stuff (or defend against) ?

[BeanieMan476]

Wouldnt dropping to the floor take to much time?

[hiptossu76]

@Mortido This it where proper technique comes into play. You must use your head as a weapon but do it quickly or you'll be susceptible to chokes. I've taken down heavyweights with this but only when I've been in the proper position.

[hiptossu76]

this is nice but the technique is better if you learn it from a good wrestling coach. A decent wrestler could stuff this attempt easily.

[Mortido]

Single legs are easier to get big people down with than doubles if you run the pipe and use your bodyweight to drag them down. Double leg vs a sprawl tends to be a strength vs strength so if he's bigger he's gonna win.

If you're doing jiujitsu or sub wrestling sit into your guard if he sprawls on you and you're good in guard. Requires some flexibility but if you get it down it really expends no energy. Watch Demian Maia do it to people.

[nosira]

watch nogueira vs bob sapp, during nogs later takedown attempts, when sap sprawls, he slips his head and legs out to the side from underneath, and rolls sap to the side with his back
