Key steps
- Trap one of their legs with your inside leg threaded between their legs.
- Lock your legs in a triangle around their thigh, above the knee.
- Squeeze your knees together to keep their knee locked inside your legs.
- Control their foot with your arms and keep their free leg blocked.
Key details
- The position is only as good as your hold on their knee; let it out and you're left holding a foot.
- A loose triangle lets them rotate out, so keep the lock tight on the thigh.
