Wrestling 101: Single Leg Takedown

The single leg takedown is a common technique used by wrestlers of all skill levels. When done quickly, it can put your opponent on their back.

“(A single leg takedown) is a basic takedown where you are attacking only one of your opponent’s legs and your head will be on the inside of their leg,” former national team assistant coach Erin Vandiver says.

You will start the single leg takedown in your stance. You will then shoot in, hook your arms behind their knee and use your trail leg to get back to your feet.
