Difficulty V of X
  1. 01

    From closed guard, trap the target wrist to your chest and grip behind the same-side triceps.

  2. 02

    Open the guard, put the same-side foot on the hip, and pivot your body perpendicular to the opponent.

  3. 03

    Swing the far leg over the head; both knees pinch the arm as the hips lift under the elbow.

  4. 04Precision point

    Keep the opponent's thumb pointed at the ceiling so the elbow's hinge opens against your hips and nothing else.

  5. 05

    Extend the hips upward gradually. The tap arrives before the arm reaches straight.
