Leg trip

Usage of a leg trip to perform a takedown.

Leg trip (depending on type also known as a leg sweep) refers to a technique in which the combatant performing the leg trip uses his or her own leg(s) to off-balance an opponent, hence causing the opponent to fall to the ground. Leg trips are often integrated into more complex takedown techniques, and are also important in many throws. Takedown techniques that are pure leg trips usually involve controlling the body of the opponent, and impeding or destabilizing one or both of the opponents legs. Leg trips are featured in for instance Freestyle wrestling, Judo and Sumo,Shuai Jiao while being an illegal technique in Greco-Roman wrestling^[1]. Image File history File links Leg_trip. ...

Single leg takedown

A single leg takedown attempt.

The single leg takedown (colloquially simply known as a single leg) involves grabbing one of the legs of the opponent, usually with both hands, and using the position to force the opponent to the ground. Typically, the lower part of the leg is pulled in one direction, while the torso or shoulder is used to press the body or upper part of the leg of the opponent in the other direction. There are several varieties of single leg takedowns. Some hold the leg by the ankle and are often known as ankle picks, while other varieties include high crotch, which hold the leg high up in the crotch area. Single leg takedowns can also be executed in combination with a leg trip to the other leg, which additionally destabilizes the opponent. Single leg takedowns can be countered by sprawling, and, where allowed, in combination with knee strikes to the head of the opponent. ^[2] Image File history File links Single_leg_takedown. ...

In Judo and other martial arts, there are many classifications of different types of single leg takedowns. Variants of the high crotch correspond to sukui-nage (掬投, "scoop throw"^[3]), where the opponent is lifted up from the ground^[4], while the typical forward pushing single leg takedown is classified as morote-gari^[5] (双手刈, "both hands scoop"^[3]) (similarly to certain double leg takedowns). Some techniqes are more specific, for instance kibisu-gaeshi (踵返, "heel trip reversal"^[3]), which is an ankle pick where the heel is grabbed, scooped up and the opponent is pushed and thrown immediately. In kuchiki-taoshi (朽木落, "one hand drop"^[6]), the opponent's leg is grabbed, pulled up, and used to push the opponent down to the ground in a split second^[7].

Double leg takedown

The double leg takedown (colloquially simply known as a double leg or even double) involves grabbing the opponent with both arms around the opponent's legs while keeping the chest close to the opponent, and using this position to force the opponent to the ground. There are several varieties of forcing the opponent to the ground, such as lifting and slamming, or pushing forward with the shoulder while pulling the opponent's legs. The double leg takedown can be countered similarly to a single leg takedown, by sprawling, moving away, and/or striking. The Guillotine choke is also a good counter to the double leg takedown. ^[8] A sprawl is a martial arts and especially wrestling term for a defensive technique that is done in response to certain takedown attempts. ...

The double leg takedown is in Judo also referred to as morote-gari^[5], although some hold that a double leg takedown where the opponent is lifted into the air or swept sideways should be referred to as sukui-nage^[5]. Morote-gari, despite having been used by judokas for a very long time and being approved of by Jigoro Kano himself, was not accepted until 1982 by the Kodokan^[5] as an official Judo technique, and there is still some dismissal among certain traditionalists.^[9] Judo , gentle way) is a martial art, combat sport, and philosophy which originated in Japan. ...
