Transitioning to a calf slicer from the single leg X position:
- Start in the single leg X position and begin to reap. If the opponent starts to pull away and you can't follow up, scooch your hips out slightly.
- Rotate your body to allow your left knee to come through the gap created by the reap.
- Connect your hands around the opponent's hips and work to fall towards your right side.
- Keep the lock connected and expand to apply the calf slicer.
- If the opponent doesn't tap from the calf slicer, extend your left leg to release them and transition into the leg drag position.
- As the opponent attempts to build up, catch their left arm, tilt them back over, and push yourself up to settle on top with control.
- To make it difficult for the opponent to reset their hip, chop at their knee or thigh, making their leg feel heavy.
- Fall off towards your right side, creating space to expand into and finish the calf slicer.
- If necessary, extend to cut the opponent loose and build into a leg drag, working to secure the top position.
