Ashi single leg
Also known as SLX Stand-Up Sweep — the canonical term used on this site.
Single leg off the ashi/SLX stand-up
Ashi single leg is a descriptive name for the SLX stand-up sweep — naming the single leg the bottom player stands into from the ashi/single-leg-X position.
Etymology. “Ashi” names the leg entanglement; “single leg” names the standing attack the stand-up converts into. The label frames the technique as rising from the entanglement straight into a single-leg finish.
Mechanics. Standing up out of single-leg X, the bottom player keeps control of the line of the entangled leg through hip position, arriving on the feet already holding the opponent’s leg; that hip-dictated control of the leg’s line is what turns the stand-up into a finishing single rather than a scramble.
