Club - Single Leg

Executing a single leg takedown using a club setup:

1. Timing is crucial. Aim to hit the takedown immediately after a break in the clinch.
2. Start with a club to the opponent's head. This sets up the takedown and disrupts their balance.
3. Anticipate that the opponent will club back. Use this reaction to your advantage.
4. As soon as you club, shoot for the single leg without waiting for their counter-club. This should be a fluid, continuous motion.
5. When you club, turn your shoulders and hips to load up for the takedown. This is similar to throwing a punch in boxing or kickboxing.
6. Change levels and rotate your body back into the single leg takedown. This helps maintain rhythm and timing.
7. If executed correctly, the opponent may fall forward, making it easier to secure the takedown.

This technique leverages the opponent's natural reaction to the club, creating an opportunity for a smooth and effective single leg takedown.
