PLATE II

The Frame and the Inch

Engraved plate illustrating The Frame and the Inch
Difficulty III of X
  1. 01

    From under side control, turn onto your side facing the opponent; never accept flat shoulders.

  2. 02

    Set the near forearm across the clavicle line and the far hand under it, forming a single skeletal brace.

  3. 03Precision point

    Brace bone against bone and hold the frame with the skeleton, not the muscles. A frame that requires strength is a frame already failing.

  4. 04

    Use the frame to make one inch of space, then move your hips, not your arms, into that inch.

  5. 05

    Repeat: frame, inch, hips. Escapes are built from this loop and nothing else.
