Low single

A leg attack where you drop to a knee, catch their lead foot at the heel, and press your head to the inside of their knee. Driving into the knee knocks them down over the trapped foot.

Key steps

  1. Drop to your knee and shoot low at their lead foot, head up and back straight.
  2. Cup their heel with your shooting hand and post your other hand on the mat.
  3. Press your head against the inside of their knee.
  4. Drive forward into the knee while the heel stays trapped, circling away from that leg.
  5. Follow them down and come up past their legs.

Key details

  • Keep the heel trapped low; a loose grip lets them pull the foot free.
  • The drive into the knee is what takes them down; pulling the foot alone lets them hop.
  • Stay compact with your hips under you; reaching long with your upper body gives them a back to sprawl onto.
