Single Leg Takedown For BJJ W/ Gi (Don't Double Butt Scoot)

My first experience in grappling was wrestling. In this video I show a wrestling based Single Leg Takedown For BJJ. Along with the basic grip fighting to set it up.

A single leg takedown works incredibly well in BJJ as long as you understand how to deal with the grips and have a proper setup.

Also, on a side note. Whether you prefer Judo style or Wrestling style takedowns. Learn takedowns! Even if you're not the best guy with takedowns, learn how to pull someone down to the ground and be offensive from your back. Either way, learning how to start from your feet is really important.

If you're worried about injuries. I promise, the more you do it, the more comfortable and safe you will be. But staying away from them completely is not a smart idea. Even if you drill but don't do full on rolling with takedowns. That's still good.

Back to the single leg takedown.

Nothing is more frustrating for me than seeing the leg right in front of me, but not being able to attack it because I'm tangled up in the gi. So grip fighting is HUGE.

A part of that grip fighting element is being preemptive with your grips. Establishing your grips fast and not giving your opponent the opportunity to sink theirs in.

By controlling the grips you will be able to dictate the position. This is always true, not just on the feet.

Anyways, if you're actually reading this long description. Stop! Watch the video and see a solid single leg takedown for BJJ. The sweep single leg.

Hope the technique helps!

Thanks!
