About this video

From the dogfight position, securing a grip under the opponent's foot is the primary objective. This grip provides a significant advantage, allowing for control and the ability to pull the foot towards oneself, compromising the opponent's base.
  1. Attempt to grab underneath the opponent's foot using the whole hand, targeting a specific area that is conducive to a firm grip.
  2. Once the grip is established, pull the foot towards you to disrupt the opponent's base, making it easy to push them down to their buttocks, leading to a favorable passing position.
  3. If the opponent's foot is out of range, switch to a knee tap. Secure a grip on the knee and apply forward pressure.
  4. During the knee tap, it's important to drill with resistance to simulate a realistic scenario. Avoid muscling the opponent down from the knees.
  5. Instead, step up and run the opponent down as if executing a double leg takedown, aiming to finish in a passing position.
When the foot is unreachable, focus on the knee tap, driving into the opponent and using footwork to complete the sweep.
