Description

A high-amplitude finish from the Single Leg in which the attacker elevates the captured leg straight overhead, driving the opponent's hips and base fully off the mat before bringing them back down to complete the takedown. Requires significant strength and leverage to execute safely, and is generally reserved for opponents who are lighter or who present a leg high and controllable enough to lift cleanly overhead.

Common Applications

Used against lighter opponents or when the leg is secured high enough to lift overhead cleanly; a lower-percentage, higher-payoff finish compared to Run the Pipe or Dump.
