During the heavy weight championship fight my opponent was from Ohio State University wrestling team. He tried to attack me with single leg twice. In both rounds, I took him down by "downward pulling" within 7 seconds. That was the easiest rounds that I ever had in my tournament years.
4 years ago, a group of wrestlers wrestled on the grass in Dinosaur Cave Park, Pismo Beach, California. I asked the wrestling coach if I could wrestle with him (I was 69 and the coach was 24. I weight 175 lb and the coach weight about 220 lb). The coach also attacked me with single leg. I used reverse head lock (guillotine) to took him down until he taped out. That could be the last round in my life that I had wrestled against a stranger (don't want to get injury in old age).
When someone uses single leg on you, he has to cover a good distance to reach to your leg. Your hands can either press down on the back of his neck (let him to kiss the dirt), or reverse head lock around his neck. Since you will have body weight on top of him, you should have the advantage.
I don't like my opponent to use double legs on me. The SC stance is always wide enough so my opponent cannot reach to my back leg.

No worries, I just didn't want to get lumped together with sll those that claim to do TCMA, but don't. Definitely check out Jingang Daodui. I blinded someone for five minutes with that. Scary power!
All that said, I agree that the front guillotine and attacking the head, neck, or spine, can work. But, I think these are not "high percentage" defenses.

I think it's always a matter of how good one competitor is at what he does. There are many guys who do one thing very well, including single legs. They will succeed 90/100 times against trained opponents, and 100/100 against untrained/unwary opponents.
Imo, the only way to find out what works is to try. Hopefully, it won't be against someone who's looking for the single leg in order to heel hook or knee bar you. That's another thing about wrestlers, though. They will wear ya down.

These are good options against the single leg, but low single is often too low to get a neck control without a full sprawl and you wouldnt stop the low single if he kisses the dirt (and he wouldnt lose under wrestling or grappling rules). Think on someone grabbing your ankle instead of the leg and you would have a much better picture of the low single problem.by MaartenSFS on Wed Nov 25, 2020 6:10 pm

how would you use that against the low single? Bending over to reach more?

At least that's how I learned it.
