Knee Shield Recovery | Knee Retraction

When an opponent pulls your leg and you're unable to break their grip, it's essential to hide your elbow and pulse it to come up into a position where your frame can push them away, giving you leverage and a stronger knee shield. To regain control:

1. Use your toes to pivot and place your knee on the floor, which helps in breaking the opponent's grip on your leg.
2. If the opponent maintains their grip, bring your knee close to your chest and retract it to position both legs out, ensuring your safety.
3. With both legs free, you can transition to the closed guard, effectively neutralizing the threat and escaping the compromised position.
4. Throughout the process, maintain a strong frame to keep the opponent at a distance and prevent them from closing in on you.

This technique allows you to recover from a potentially dangerous situation by using leverage, positioning, and the strength of your frames and knee shield.
