Key steps
- Settle at their side with your chest on their upper back and hips low.
- Wrap your near arm around their waist or grip their far wrist.
- Sprawl your legs back or stay on your toes so your weight drives into them.
- Follow their hips as they move so you stay on top of their back.
- Work toward a seat belt and hooks, or a front headlock, as they settle.
Key details
- Stay heavy and close; a gap lets them sit out or roll back to guard.
- Keep your near knee away from their hands, since a grabbed leg sets up their roll.
