About this video
When unable to break an opponent's posture by applying pressure to their knee, consider the following steps:
- If the opponent's leg remains straight and you can't bend it, use both hooks behind their knees.
- Sit your butt to the mat, ensuring you move your hips far back to prevent their hips from going over yours.
- Incorrect method: Placing hooks and sitting without moving hips back, causing opponent's hips to land on top of you.
- Correct method: Place hooks, then move hips back so opponent falls into your lap.
- Alternative method: Use feet instead of hooks behind the knees. This allows you to kick yourself back, creating more space for the opponent to fall into your lap.
- For taller opponents, using feet behind the knees may be more effective to create sufficient distance.
- Once the opponent lands in your lap, immediately look for a two-on-one grip to start setting up a seatbelt control for back takes.
