Single Leg Attempt to Knee Tap Takedown (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to take the opponent down by using a knee tap. Lucas starts by hugging the opponent’s leg while keeping his inside knee raised and outside knee on the mat. Lucas now switches to the other side and stands up, lifting the opponent’s leg to the single leg position. In this scenario, the opponent blocks Lucas. Lucas now moves the opponent’s leg from the middle, to his outside. He immediately steps in and reaches for the back of the knee. He taps the back of the knee and uses his other hand to push the opponent back. From here, he takes the opponent down and lands in the opponent’s half guard.
