Key steps

  1. Overhook their arm on the side they're attacking, deep under the armpit.
  2. Clamp the overhook tight and turn your hip into them.
  3. Drive your weight down through the overhook while you step your leg back.
  4. Use your free hand on their head to steer them away as you step around.

Key details

  • Turn the hip in as you overhook; a flat whizzer has no power.
  • Keep your free leg back and away from their hands.
