Key steps

  1. From side control, isolate one of their arms and pull it up toward you.
  2. Post your hand, rise up, and step one leg over their head.
  3. Sit down close to their shoulder with their arm between your legs.
  4. Pinch your knees, keep their thumb up, and lift your hips to finish.

Key details

  • Keep your weight on them as you rise; a gap lets them turn in to you.
  • Keep their arm hugged while you step over the head.
