The out the back door single leg finish is a highly effective finish to help score off a stopped single leg where you’re not able to finish. When you get stuck underneath on your initial shot and are not able to drive to your feet or get the corner because your opponent did a great job sprawling and squaring up this is the finish you need to go to.
Finishing Low & High: First Options Before Going To Out The Back Door
Before you go to finishing out the back door you need to think of these options first. When you first hit the single leg you should look to Finish High on the feet, this will give you the quickest finish to your takedown. However, if your opponent gets their weight down and sprawls, your next option is to look to Finish Low on the mat. If when you attempt either of these finishes on your single leg and your opponent successfully squares up and stuffs your head this is when looking to finish out the back door becomes your best option.
