Koichi Gari to Single Leg Takedown when Opponent Steps Back (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates how to transition to a single leg takedown when the opponent defends a Koichi Gari by stepping back. As Lucas goes for the Koichi Gari, his opponent defends by backstepping. As soon as the opponent does this he leaves his other leg vulnerable for an attack. Lucas immediately goes for the single leg on the opponent’s other leg. When he has the single, he makes sure to grab his own collar. From there, he steps to one side then the other and takes the opponent down.
