Wrestling techniques also are very useful in mixed martial arts competitions, especially moves such as the inside step single leg takedown. Learn how to perform this takedown and take your opponents by surprise.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Stand in a solid, staggered position when you begin to get ready for this move. Both knees should be bent so that your body is closer to the ground. Feet should be one behind the other past your shoulders to give you the balance you need to make the takedown.

  2. Step 2

    Keep your back straight and your head up, looking towards your opponent. Keep your fingers loose and open as you bend your arms so that your forearms are perpendicular to the floor.

  3. Step 3

    Bend you knees even lower before you strike, lowering your whole body. Keep your eyes on the opponent's face as you move your forward foot to the outside of his foot.

  4. Step 4

    Push forward with your front knee so that it is over the opponent's foot and grab your arms around his leg.

  5. Step 5

    Lower your knee all the way to the floor, extending your other foot to anchor your body.

  6. Step 6

    Tighten your fists together as you pull up on the opponent's leg. As you rise, swing up from your knee and out with your foot to plant is firmly on the mat. Move your body towards his chest and take him down.
