Difficulty VI of X
  1. 01

    The moment the legs begin to close about the neck, drive both palms flat to the mat and lift the chest away, denying the collapse that invites the choke.

  2. 02

    Seize the ankle of the leg lying uppermost across your shoulders, securing it before the figure-four locks fully.

  3. 03

    Step the near foot wide and settle weight forward, stacking the opponent's hips toward their own head to rob the legs of leverage.

  4. 04Precision point

    Turn the captured shoulder downward, rotating the spine ninety degrees toward the leg that lies beneath rather than the one that lies above.

  5. 05

    With the pressure now falling on the shoulder rather than the throat, peel the upper leg downward across your body using both hands.

  6. 06

    Clear the freed leg past your head and settle into a stable base, mount or side control, before the opponent recovers the angle.
