Lesson (35min)
- Wall Safety Position
- Your opponent starts with double underhooks, and good head position flattening you onto the wall
- Drop your weight by splitting your feet and turning to a staggered stance
- Get a good over-hook, with your feet close to the wall, and heavy with the whizzer
- Start to fight the under-hook that you are looking at.
- Moving Off The Wall
- From the above, work on getting good head position by moving back along the wall
- If your opponents head is too far over your shoulder, you will be able to reverse the position;
- By looking into them and sliding your hips along the wall and reversing your position
- You can also reverse the position by your opponent over correcting your escape attempt
- Practice changing sides by walking/sliding along the wall and changing the hip on the wall
- Reversing The Position Off The Wall
- As your are being backed up with an under-over position, before you get to the wall;
- Push into them, step you feet off the train tracks to the over-hook side
- Turn them by pulling down and around on the Lat, finishing with your opponent on the wall
- Same as above, but start by trying to turn them the opposite way first, pushing up on the Lat
- Same as above, but reach for their leg on the whizzer side and as they step back turn them
- Same as above but go the other way by raising the under-hook and pinching the whizzer
- Reversing The Position On The Wall
- From the Wall Safety Position, get bicep control and head position
- Move toward your over-hook, if you get your hips free pull on the under-hook and turn them
- They counter the above by blocking you path, so you go the other way, by sliding along the wall
- Same can be applied in reverse
