Electric Chair

Key principles

• · The lockdown on the opponent's leg is essential to control and isolate the far leg before transitioning to the submission.
• · Threading your underhook arm deep under the opponent's far thigh creates the lever needed to split the legs.
• · Power comes from extending your hips and arching your back, not from pulling with your arms alone.
• · Keeping your head tight against the opponent's hip prevents them from creating space or re-squaring their hips.
• · If the opponent tries to roll or posture away, follow their momentum to transition to Twister or Banana Split entries.

Execution

1. 1 From dogfight with the lockdown secured on the opponent's near leg, shoot your underhook arm deep under their far thigh, clasping your hands together around that leg.
2. 2 Release the lockdown and shift to a butterfly-style hook or simply free your legs while maintaining the grip under the far leg.
3. 3 Sit back and fall to your shoulder on the underhook side, pulling the opponent's far leg across your chest.
4. 4 Extend your hips upward and outward while pulling the trapped leg toward your head, splitting the opponent's legs apart to finish the submission.
