In a Single Person Hip Bump Take Down, which action follows the leg bump?

• A. Spins the opponent to the side for a hip toss
• B. Drives the opponent down in the direction the DUSM is moving
• C. Immediately transitions to a ground control position
• D. Uses momentum to shift into a rear grip

Answer: (B)

The leg bump destabilizes the opponent’s base, shifting their weight and breaking their balance. From there, the natural, most reliable follow-through is to drive the opponent down in the same direction you’re moving. Using that momentum to force them to the ground completes the takedown while you maintain control and alignment with your body. Spinning for a hip toss would require a different setup and rotation after the bump, which isn’t the immediate continuation. Jumping straight to ground control skips finishing the takedown with the same momentum, and shifting into a rear grip introduces a different grip flow that isn’t the direct next step after the leg bump.
