Key steps

  1. Come up onto your side with your elbow under you.
  2. Catch their wrist when they post a hand on the mat.
  3. Reach your other arm over their shoulder and grip your own wrist.
  4. Fall back and turn their hand toward their back to finish.

Key details

  • Keep their elbow tight to your chest as you fall back.
  • If they lean back to defend, the same grip sets up a sweep.
