Single Leg 'Run the Pipe'
|
Here the attacking wrestler fights through his opponent's hands.
|
The attacker outside steps, keeping his head up and making hard contact with his forehead to the ribs.
|
The attacker locks on his opponent's leg in a high level single above the knee.
|
The shooter works to maintain strong position by keeping his hips under him and his head up.
|
An overlooked but important detail in a single leg is the importance of the proper lock on the leg.
|
In this example, the shooter's left arm should have his palm down towards the mat with his right hand clasping palm up. This is the strongest lock for a single and forces the defender to sprawl into the shooter's grip.
|
To finish the takedown the shooter runs the pipe.
|
By circling backwards the shooter forces the opponent to hop backwards.
|
At the same time that the shooter is circling backwards with the leg he is bowing down wiht his chest.
|
The bow down creates chest pressure which forces the defender to the mat.
|
To secure the takedown the shooter gather up the far leg.
|
A good single leg attack is effective provided that the shooter knows several finishes, such as the ability to 'Run the Pipe' effectively.
