The single leg finishing on the feet is the ideal first option with the single leg takedown. If you’re able to get to your feet right away that means that your opponent hasn’t reacted quick enough to sprawl. This means you can get the corner and elevate their weight to one foot, making it harder for them to defend. When your opponent’s leg is elevated it limits them to scrambling in order to defend the finish. If you maintain control and proper shoulder position on the finish, it will be very difficult to defend.
