single leg takedown

A single-leg takedown is a wrestling move where you focus on controlling one of your opponent's legs to bring them to the ground. You typically start by shooting in close, grabbing one leg with your arms, and then using your body weight and leverage to off-balance your opponent. The goal is to destabilize them by controlling their leg, making it difficult for them to maintain their stance, and then guiding or pulling them down to the mat. This move is effective for gaining control and setting up for further techniques in wrestling or grappling.
