Обзор

The Low Single Leg subfamily attacks the opponent's leg at the lowest point — the ankle or lower shin — requiring a deep level change where the attacker often drops to one or both knees. [1] The low single is initiated from a greater distance than other single-leg entries because the attacker needs to reach all the way to the ankle. [1],[2] The primary advantage is that the low target is extremely difficult to defend with a standard sprawl, and the opponent often doesn't recognise the attack until the ankle is already captured. [2] Low singles are commonly used as surprise attacks, change-of-pace techniques, and entries from unconventional angles. [2],[3]

Родословная

The low single leg was perfected by John Smith during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Smith's low single became the defining technique of his career and influenced a generation of wrestlers. [1],[2]

Соревновательные результаты

John Smith won two Olympic gold medals (1988, 1992) and four World Championship titles primarily using the low single leg. [1]

Заметки по тренировке

Drop deeply — the lead knee often touches the mat as you reach for the ankle or lower shin
Attack from longer range than a standard single; the extreme level change is your penetration
Grab the heel or ankle and pull it toward you while driving your shoulder into their knee
The low single works best when the opponent is heavy on their front foot — snap them forward first
Your back hand stays on the mat for balance during the deep drop
Immediately pop up to your feet after securing the ankle to begin the finish

Типичные ошибки

!Not dropping low enough — grabbing the shin from a half-squat is not a low single
!Both hands leaving the ground simultaneously, losing your balance
!Pulling the ankle without driving forward — the opponent hops away easily
!Staying on the mat after grabbing the ankle instead of immediately rising to finish
!Shooting the low single against a retreating opponent — it needs a planted front foot
!Telegraphing the drop by looking at the foot before shooting

Ankle Pick Low Single

Род

The Ankle Pick Low Single is a hybrid genus combining low single-leg mechanics with ankle pick finishing, where the attacker drops low to capture the opponent's ankle and pulls it forward while driving the head and shoulder into the opponent's leg to collapse their base. [1] The attack starts with a deep level change targeting the ankle, then transitions into an ankle pick motion — scooping the foot off the mat while the upper body drives forward. [1,2] This combination is effective because it uses both pulling (ankle pick) and driving (low single) forces simultaneously. [2] The technique is particularly useful against opponents in a staggered stance where one ankle is exposed. [2,3]

Исследовать

Outside Low Single

Род

The Outside Low Single attacks the opponent's far leg from an outside angle, reaching across the body to capture the far ankle from the outside. [1] This genus requires the attacker to create an angle — either through lateral movement or a set-up feint — before dropping level and reaching to the outside of the far foot. [1,2] The outside angle makes the attack difficult to anticipate because it comes from the opponent's peripheral vision. [2] The finish involves pulling the ankle laterally while driving into the opponent's body to collapse them sideways. [2,3]

Исследовать

Standard Low Single

Род

The Standard Low Single executes the fundamental low-level single leg where the attacker drops deeply — often to both knees — and reaches forward to capture the opponent's lead ankle or lower shin. [1] The attacker uses a quick level change and long reach to grab the ankle, then drives forward into the opponent while pulling the captured foot off the mat. [1,2] The finish typically involves running the opponent's foot forward while their upper body falls backward, or transitioning to a traditional single-leg finish once the opponent is off-balance. [2] The standard low single is the archetype of deep-level-change attacks. [2,3]

Заметки

The low single leg appears in 15 passages in Wrestling for Fighting (Randy Couture) — dedicated sections cover the entry, the wrist control setup, and finishing sequences. The attack targets the opponent's ankle from maximum distance — the safest takedown entry because the attacker stays far from counter-strikes. (Couture, Wrestling for Fighting)
