Collar drag

A Gi move where you grip their collar and pull their head down and past you as you slip to their side. It works standing or seated and can take the back.

Key steps

  1. Grip their collar behind the neck with one hand and their sleeve with the other.
  2. Pull the collar down and across your body so their head moves past your shoulder.
  3. Move your hips to their side as their head goes by, staying close to them.
  4. Come up behind them and take the back, or shoot a single leg as they turn.

Key details

  • Moving your body matters as much as the pull; dragging without changing angle just bends them forward.
  • The sleeve grip stops them from posting that arm to block the drag.
