Steer Clear of Sprawls with 2 Single Leg Takedowns for BJJ

Overview

This video addresses a common grappling problem: getting sprawled on during single-leg takedown attempts. The instructor demonstrates two angled entries designed to bypass the sprawl. First, a high snatch single that uses circling and wrist control to load the opponent's weight before driving in. Second, a sweep single that drops the knee behind the opponent's leg to create an angle, making the sprawl ineffective and setting up a sweep or takedown finish.
