Single legs are by far my favorite type of takedowns. They're incredibly versatile. You can do them against smaller or larger opponents. They're easy to setup from high or low positions.
And most importantly for BJJ. I find them easy to setup in gi or no gi.
In this particular video I show how to do a simple single leg takedown setup when you have someone walking into you with their arms stretched out like Frankenstein.
In the gi this happens often. Two people walk in, lock up with the sleeve and collar and push and shove each other around a bit. Then they break grips and do it all over again.
This is where this takedown comes in. Start by reading your opponent and which foot they're placing forward and post off the opposite side shoulder when they come in to grip up.
While pushing them back and causing their weight to rock to their back foot come in and grab the single leg.
This is a great single leg takedown setup in gi or no gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Nothing about the technique is gi specific.
This is also good for you guys with less than stellar knees. Because you're not dropping down low and jamming your knees on the ground. It's a little easier on the knee.
Lastly this takedown is really forgiving when you try it. If you're in the middle of BJJ training and go for this single leg takedown. Even if you fail it's unlikely you're opponent will be able to snap you down to the ground. Typically the worst thing that happens is that they step out of the way.
So give it a try and I hope it helps!

I was struggling to get this, then Adam said 'Adam' and it all made sense.
I've seen a couple of your videos where you've described how to hit wrestling takedowns in the gi. Super helpful sir. Thanks so much!
Awesome. Thanks Anil.
I love this one. I drilled this with a friend and hit it in class the next day. Thank You
Nice! Glad to hear it Danny!
"This is also good for you guys with less than stellar knees. Because you're not dropping down low and jamming your knees on the ground. It's a little easier on the knee.".....THANK YOU 4 THIS VIDEO CHEWY!!!!!
Excellent input from Adam, i will give this a go tomorrow
Haha, Adam always brings some good details.
Outstanding as always!
Appreciate it John!
congrats to adam!
nice move!
Awesome, Chewy, thanks...I need to work takedowns and this will get practiced.
You're welcome! Thanks for the comment!
Love it! I have my first tournament coming up soon and will look to use this.
great fundamentals
When I saw "Frankenstein opponent" in the title I thought Chewie was insulting Adam…but I'm glad I was wrong 😁
Nice!
Understood !!
As a 145lb guy, would this work on a 200lb guy. Tried so hard to do a single leg on my brother yesterday, but he used his back keg like a kickstand, and put all of his weight in his front leg. I could not lift it to save my life. I think my mistake was not trying to push him back a bit. He was completely forward.
It's possible. To make a single leg like this work. You need to drive forward. Takedowns like this are all about drive.
Also, if his leg is heavy, knee bump his leg into your arm. Also, do not totally go sideways with his leg in front of you because he can hit kani basami and leg lock entries from there.
Generally for single legs you want your head on the inside so look towards his other arm as you shoot and drive your head into his abdomen and walk forward as you scoop the leg
@@Chewjitsu Could you do a guide on how to takedown big opponents if you have a severe strenght disadvantage? :)
Try to get behind big guys once they start sprawling on you it's gonna be a very bad day look up Cary kolat arm drag
Ha Ha, I'm a song and dance white belt, thanks!
It's alright. A lot of people are! Grip fight and work takedowns and you won't be! ;)
Anyone know what gi Chewy is wearing
That was my own custom one
@@Chewjitsu ah okay thank you sir. I appreciate a reply from the man himself.

@@Chewjitsu you're awesome sir thank you.
Adam...lol
You promise this works? I don't like getting stuffed.
It's a solid takedown. Worse thing that usually happens is they move out the way or create space to stop the takedown. Since it's not a full level drop its tough for them to put the smash on you.
