About this video

Applying the Super Drag from a seated position:

  1. Establish a grip with the left hand in the collar instead of the right, which is a variation from the traditional grip.
  2. Keep the hips square to the opponent rather than loading to one side.
  3. Use both hands behind the opponent's tricep, similar to the double drag technique.
  4. Lift the buttocks off the ground to utilize body weight and generate momentum for the drag.
  5. Execute the drag not solely with arm strength but by tucking the feet and elevating the hips.
  6. Follow through by either chasing the back, tackling, or transitioning into the one leg X-Guard depending on the opponent's reaction.
  7. This technique is particularly effective against larger, heavier, or more static opponents as it allows for better weight transfer.
  8. It also counters opponents with pant grips, especially when they are relatively stationary.
  9. To perform the drag against pant grips, create enough momentum to slightly lift the hips off the mat.
  10. Optionally, add a foot kick on the opposite side to assist with the drag.

The Super Drag from a seated position is versatile and can be adapted to work with or without pant grips, offering a dynamic approach to controlling and maneuvering past an opponent.
