Single Leg with Back Control to Takedown to Back Take (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to take the opponent down with a single leg variation where he is also controlling the back. Lucas has the collar and sleeve grip on the opponent. In this variation, Lucas goes for the single leg on the side he has the collar. Once he picks up the leg, he switches his grips and keeps one on the leg and the other is now used to grip the opponent’s back. Lucas now uses his hips to push the opponent’s leg forward as he places his knee on the mat. As he pushes forward, he also pulls the opponent back to take him down. From here, Lucas now takes the back control.
