If you start with your back foot, his leading foot, his back foot all on a straight line, when you attack through that line, no matter how he may move his leading leg, his leading leg will always be under your attacking range.
The "single leg" has great value in defense. When your opponent attacks you, he has to move in his leading leg toward you. It will give you a chance to get his leg. When you apply "single leg" and if you put your pushing hand on your opponent's neck, chin, face, forehead, you can smash the back of his head on the ground. You won't need any other "finish move" after that.
