Key steps
- Isolate one of their legs and trap it between your legs.
- Wrap their lower leg against your chest so the foot rests beside your shoulder.
- Bring your hips to their knee and pinch your knees around the thigh.
- Keep the foot clamped and extend your hips gradually to finish.
Key details
- Keep your hips right at their knee; too high or too low and the joint has nothing to bend over.
- Squeeze your thighs together around their leg; any rotation lets them slip the lock.
