Key steps

  1. Hold their trapped foot tight at your hip from single leg X with both arms.
  2. Push their hip away with your outside foot while your inside leg lifts behind the knee.
  3. Keep pushing until they lose balance and sit down or fall backward.
  4. Post a hand and come up to your feet while you hold the leg.
  5. Pass around their legs as they land, or stay on the leg and attack the foot.

Key details

  • Their foot must stay at your hip; if it slips out, they can step away.
  • Lifting with the knee hook as you push stops them hopping to keep their balance.
