Lesson (35min)
Leg In The Air Defence
-
- Head Inside (Single Leg)
- Get good head position
- Foot on the outside
- Whizzer & pry fingers or reach though and squeeze their elbows with both arms
- Drive the leg out of their grip
- Head Outside (High Crotch)
- Reach under their head and wrap both of their arms and squeeze their elbows together
- Drive your leg out of their grips
- Head Inside (Single Leg)
Hip Tip
-
- They hit a knee down single leg, and you drop that knee
- Go deep waist on same side as single, your opposite knee pinches their elbow
- Sit back onto your hip (at around 4-5 or 7-8 o’clock) and dump them, make sure you post on your hand, not elbow
- Rip you leg out of their grip, or switch your hips over and cross face to gain a top position
Switching The Head
- Start in Single Leg knee down position, grab a chin strap and slip their head to the outside
- Start in a H/C knee down position, use your forearm to slip the head to the inside.
- Then defend from the new position.
- Note: This is very good on the cage, if the opponent is too strong in one attack sometimes a head switch will make enough space to escape, or the opponent won’t be as strong with the head on the other side.
