About this video

Performing a leg drag in MMA differs slightly from traditional Jiu Jitsu due to the forward positioning of the hips. Here's how to execute it:

  1. When your opponent controls your heel, adjust your grip to be more behind, rather than the traditional Jiu Jitsu grip.
  2. Work your hips forward and use a cup grip.
  3. Push your hips forward to lift the leg, then apply the cup grip.
  4. Pull and drop to stabilize.
  5. Remember, in MMA, your hips are forward to use the leverage of your hips to punch. This is different from Jiu Jitsu where your hips are usually sideways.
  6. If your opponent starts to scramble on the ground, you can use a punch to stop them. The way you use your hips is totally different in this scenario.
  7. Push your hips up, then change your position. Trying to execute from the same position won't work.
  8. Move sideways, then when you cup grip, change your position again.
  9. Finally, move your hand to the hip.
