Key steps

  1. Trap their leg in ashi garami with your knees pinched.
  2. Hold their heel snug to your side with your arm, keeping the foot tight to you.
  3. Lock your hands together close to the heel.
  4. Keep the knee trapped and turn your upper body slowly to finish.

Key details

  • Keep their knee pinned between your legs so they can't turn out.
  • Grips on the ankle tend to slip free, so make sure it's the heel you're holding.
