Single Leg Takedown by Circling Around Collar Grip (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to do a single leg takedown, when the opponent maintains the collar grip. Lucas and the opponent both start with collar and sleeve controls. Lucas releases the grip on the sleeve and circles that arm over the opponent’s. This allows Lucas to move in for the single leg when the opponent has good leverage. From here, Lucas then reaches for the leg. Once he lifts the opponent’s leg, Lucas moves the leg to the outside and steps in to take the opponent down by tripping the other leg.
