Lesson Plan

Additional Information
Head Positioning
You are working to be on the same side as the outside leg so your head will be near the mat.
Leg Positioning
- Both legs will be over one of their legs with your leg being the bottom leg of the three.
- Feet can be straight or ideally your bottom foot over top your top foot.
- Feet can also be both feet on the bottom hip
Goals
- Hide your legs by having your leg on the bottom.
Grips
Your “Knee Grip” will need to be tight about their knee pinching in.
Your “Arm Grip” will be on your opponents bottom ankle.
Distance
As with most leg lock positions you are looking to stay close. With your butt scooting close to their butt. Trying to keep your arms and head out of their reach.
Timing
Still need information.
Weight Analysis
Your weight needs to be leaning heavily on your bottom leg. You are completely on your side.
