  1. 01

    From closed guard, sit up and grip the opponent's wrist as it rests on the mat or your hip.

  2. 02

    Reach your other arm over their shoulder and behind the elbow, then grip your own wrist, completing the figure-four.

  3. 03

    Scoot the hips out to the side, away from the trapped arm, and clamp the opponent's body with your legs.

  4. 04Precision point

    Keep the trapped wrist pinned to the opponent's back as the elbow travels; the wrist leads and the shoulder follows. Lifting the wrist away releases the patient.
