Key steps

  1. Take a collar grip with one hand, high on the side of their neck.
  2. Take the opposite sleeve near the wrist with your other hand.
  3. Place your foot on the biceps of the sleeve arm to keep it stretched.
  4. Hook behind their knee or push their hip with your other foot.
  5. Work the collar and your feet against each other to bend them forward and off balance.

Key details

  • A strong collar pull bends them toward you and puts their weight on your feet.
  • A bent sleeve arm can drive into you, so keep it stretched with your foot.
