Set Ups: From Leg Drag

About this video

Transitioning from a leg drag to a folding pass:

  1. Start from a standing position and initiate a leg drag. The specific method of entering the leg drag is not detailed.
  2. Once in the leg drag position, aim to place your left shoulder on your partner to move towards securing side control.
  3. Anticipate your partner framing against your shoulder. If you continue driving forward, they may hip escape and frame you out.
  4. Make a grip on your partner's belt and switch your other grip to their tricep.
  5. Instead of driving forward, change your direction and run over the top of their legs.
  6. Lean your head and shoulder diagonally to shift your weight onto their frames and lighten your left leg.
  7. Relocate your left leg closer to your right leg, then lift your right leg and step over to initiate a hip set.
  8. Stay on the balls of your feet, not your heels, to maintain pressure on your partner.
  9. By leaning on your toes, you can melt into position, making it difficult for your opponent to defend as they are forced into an awkward position.
  10. After initiating the leg drag and getting closer, cup the belt and the tricep (or collar, though the tricep grip is preferred).
  11. Lean, relocate your leg, and step over. Immediately initiate a hip sag with your left hip and lower your head.
  12. Drag your left knee close to their hamstrings and try to bring their knees towards their chest.
  13. Pass your leg over easily, and if they begin to move and defend, complete your position.
