Ah, the Single Leg… We know, we know. You actually do like this takedown technique, even though you suck at it. But you’d still prefer to not be so bad at it, although it is – for whatever reason – kinda complicated for you to set up.
What’s worse than being taken down with the Single Leg? It’s not having known how to defend against it in the first place.
