Single Leg--Head Inside or Outside ???

and watch out for the black hand groin rippers! :smiley:

Yeah? Keep talking $hit Crip. Wait until you see the black hand for Diagonal Cut this Saturday. Hope ya got a good neck.

Sweet! If it don’t kill me, it’ll be fuuuuun. Man, this whole fight thing’s going to be nothing after our classes. :wink:

edit: I hope I have a good neck too. I’ve been doing those neck excercizes from Miguel’s class. They’d better be worth something, ******!

Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread.:smiley:

lol…
Whatever… Im too blunted to argue right now, Will continue in the morning. I explained it how it works. I train it like that. I wrestle with a purple belt Im friends with here in town. Its not my business to name names. Irrelevant anyhoo.

O(h)so-good

Criticism/Comment(s) on the videos’ material.

  1. a grab like that on your part, press the foot to your side. Turn to the other side and down (reverse direction and you can add a sweep to the lower leg). The purpose is to rotate the leg at the hip by turning it to the inside (small circle)
    …The shifing from clockwise to counter-clockwise and back agian I think is a useful tactic coupled with intent and timing.
    …Your distance and stancing before entering was good and smart. You allow them an opportunity for them to make exploitable mistakes. Good for you.
    …You try for a specific technique. perhaps you would consider going with what is offered instead of always going for a pre-set hold.
    …Your kneeling flexibility seemed good.
    …Shifting weight with your bounce makes a window where you Can’t move-ish if they catch the timg-ish.
    …Mind your rushed breathing (try less hard)
    …I liked your waiting and switching-up.
    …That untelegraphed lowerbody hop/switch-up is Beautiful. (Keep-up the sensory deception)

…The dip then strech your leg in works for you.
…Establish an understanding of stepping (mirror/opposite) learto lead your opponent’s leg into optimum sweep Range and Know your range.
The lean-down with the dip at the end is good before you sweep but also an obvious move to say you are going to move.
…You or opponent might have been other than well versed.

…Resting on your kneeshelps you be more moveable.
…Letting your body be dead weight might be of assistance in this situation.

…You might consider a punching spinning kick.
…More extention before you land the kick or drop it into sometingels or you might get repelled because your support leg is too close~.
…Your steps seem heavy though your stance can float (good~).
…If you shift your weight, do other than pick(rock)-up your feet to do it.
…Spin kick with your lead elbow held lower
More…more…hungry to see…:slight_smile:
…I like that you invite them to attack and the verticle forarm block (and that you are intercept minded).

One fun thought more. relevant to Oso clips at Ap’sand MP’s

More a T’ai Chi Ch’uan type stepping when shifting weight or moving.

Noooooo[SIZE=1]ooooooooooooo[/SIZE] ! :frowning: That’s too bad.

I only wrestled a year and half in COLLEGE before I quit. I really couldn’t handle the beatdowns on top of everything else.

I wrestled in High school.

I got it. I just didn’t quote the whole thing. (being lazy)

I suspect at a normal college, I would have been ok.

Well, military obligations are a hell of a lot more important to be sure!

Not really, I just couldn’t do it all on 5-6 hours of sleep a night.

Well, well! Quite the lady’s man!

LOL, I wish. Academics, military and sports doesn’t really leave much time for sleep at the Coast Guard Academy.

It’s like west point, just for those of us who don’t really want to be shot at…:stuck_out_tongue:

pu$$y

Yeah, we just go INTO major storms with 30-40 ft swells that takes your prop out of the water to rescue stupid people in the middle of the night in the Alaskan winter, instead, LOL!

As someone who was an Ohio District winner, a 3 time state qualifier and a wrestler at Kent State University (MAC conference)for 4 years(& an alternate my freshman year), I might have something to add…

A head outside single can be effectively done.

BUT it must be shot @ the lead leg and it must be followed with your trailing leg immediately comming up to hook behind the heel of the captured leg as you slam him backwards.

crossface smoshface.. 1. your chin should be tucked down anyways. 2. suck it up wrestling is rough.

Crucifix? What idiot would let his outside arm get caught in that? bench that douchebag.. seriously… ELBOWS DOWN!

This may lead into a semantics argument.. because this is not a ā€œtypicalā€ single leg takedown. grab & lift. this version is really more of a secure & trip.

As an add alternate I’ve also known guys who would shoot head outside, bring both knees together to hold captured leg and take inside arm and place it between opponents legs to the back side of his opposite ankle and then drive thru.. litterally stopping the opponents heels dead on the spot.

My 2 cents. for what it’s worth.

Was that little bit of self-promotion really necessary to make your point?

I don’t think that was necessarily self promotion- maybe just establishing credibility? Versus someone who has been training grappling for 3 or 4 months with someone who is ā€œsupposedā€ to be a good grappler.

as a 4 year HS wrestler who never medaled in the conferance tournament until his senior year and hasn’t stepped into a wrestling room since 1986, I was trying to catch up on the new stuff :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

BUT it must be shot @ the lead leg

I’m so slow I can’t even imagine shooting at the BACK leg.

crossface smoshface.. 1. your chin should be tucked down anyways. 2. suck it up wrestling is rough.

sure, wrestling is tough, and I get a sick pleasure from being hit and I understand how you are saying it should be done, but why would you intentionally put yourself someplace where there is a known counter, unless you want to work something off of that counter?

edit
and yea, there is a counter to everything

so, my understanding is that there are many variations of the ā€˜classic’ single leg, some of which may have the head to the outside if done correctly.

t’anks.
