Jedi Mind Trick | Arm Push

Execute a clean-up movement when the opponent back-steps but tries to maintain the top position. Continuously lift until there's an opportunity to address the opponent's arm.

1. As the opponent back-steps and attempts to stay on top, focus on lifting to create space and access to their arm.
2. Once the arm is accessible, push it away to disrupt their balance and facilitate a reversal or escape.
3. If the opponent posts their hand but doesn't place it far enough back, it's possible to tip them over their post before they can adjust their position.
4. In the event the opponent turns their hip through and keeps it elevated, move out of the way and release their hand from the mat.
5. If the opponent's weight traps your leg, return your shoulder to the mat, lift their hip, and extract your leg.
6. Be aware that this movement may give the opponent an opportunity to attempt the same technique, so be prepared to counter.
7. If the leg remains stuck, use a bouncing motion on the opponent's hip to create the necessary space to free the leg.
