In today's lesson, we continued working on shooting for the single leg. The technique we covered was a head tie to a side-single. From a head tie, pull your opponent and step around in a circle. This opens up an angle for you to attack opponent's legs. So if you have your right hand on your opponent's head, pull his/her head and circle to your left, then shoot with your left leg. Here, you can see dual Olympic gold medallist Arsen Fadzaev using this move (link to youtube). Even when he misses with it, he keeps trying and eventually gets the takedown. Unfortunately for him though, he lost this match in the last 10 seconds!
