https://howtheyplay.com/individual-sports/How-to-Defend-a-Single-Leg-Takedown
The single leg takedown is a staple of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Originally appropriated from wrestling, the attack is a simple, direct way to bring your opponent to the ground, and a great way to land in a solid position from which to pass the guard (or straight into side control). As a consequence, your defense must be effective. Here are different approaches that draw upon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, judo, and wrestling for answers on how to approach the single leg, along with universal principles.
