- 1). Drop your level so that you are in a position to drive toward your opponent's legs.
- 2). Drive forward toward one of your opponent's feet, and grab that foot around the outside at the heel.
- 3). As you grab the heel, bring your head low so that it is on the inside of your opponent's calf on the leg you are attacking, near the knee. To get in this position, you will have to stay much lower to the ground than you would during a normal single leg takedown.
- 4). Pull your opponent's heel in and under you as you use your head to push the knee outward, out and back in the opposite direction. As you pull the heel under you, use your free hand to assist with exerting force on his leg, drawing it under you even harder. This will take away one of your opponent's points of balance and throw off his center of gravity, causing him to topple backward.
- 5). As he topples, stay close behind to score a takedown. Most opponents will quickly bail out into a strong base in response to being caught by a low single, but if your opponent is slow in reacting, you might be able to work up and keep him on his back.
