Completing the Single Leg Entry (Fundamentals)

Professor Donovan Espinosa shows how to take the opponent down after showing a single leg entry. Donovan starts by gripping the collar and sleeve. He raises the elbow and places his same side knee behind the opponent’s ankle. The grip that was on the sleeve in used to hug the leg. Donovan uses the grip on the collar to push the opponent away as he stands up with the leg. In this scenario, Donovan finishes the takedown by reaching for the far side knee and pulls it in as he drives forward. The opponent falls and Donovan maintains his balance.
