Steer Clear of Sprawls with 2 Single Leg Takedowns for BJJ

Steer Clear of Sprawls with 2 Single Leg Takedowns for BJJ

From Chewjitsu

March 13, 2026

Today's technique video is to answer a question from a BJJ practitioner who is having trouble shooting and getting sprawled on.

So in the video I'll show you 2 simple takedown setups that are tough to just do a straight sprawl on that's common in BJJ.

I'll also clip in bits of several of my matches to show you examples of what it looks like when they fail and succeed.

Hope this video helps you with your takedowns in BJJ.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
