Key steps

  1. Lock a figure-four grip on one of their arms from north-south.
  2. Put one leg over their head to shut down their turn.
  3. Keep their elbow bent and tight to your body.
  4. Lift the elbow and turn their hand toward their back slowly to finish.

Key details

  • Keep the leg over their head; without it they can roll out.
  • Keep the elbow bent; a straight arm slips out of the grip.
