X-guard to back (No Gi) Part 2 |
|
|
|
The amazing conclusion! :) |
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
My left arm IMMEDIATELY underhooks his left leg so that he cannot escape the position. |
|
Here is a close up of the same position. Pay close attention to my left knee, as it is going to do most of the work in the following sequence. |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
My left knee slides behind his left knee and I extend my left leg at the hip, levering my opponent's knee forward. I keep tight control of his left shin with my left arm, and my right hand begins to look to capture his right ankle. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using my left knee to lever him forward, and also swivel my body around completely behind him, I am now in position to sweep him forward. My right hand controls his right ankle (sorry you can't really see this, I am just using a regular thumbless grip), my left hand controls his left ankle/shin with an underhook. |

|
I pull with my arms and extend with my legs to sweep him forward. (I accidentally grabbed his pants in this pic. Grabbing his ankles works just as well.) |
|
|
|
|
|
...like this. I control his ankles and allow my momentum to carry me forward... |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
...and I pick a side to control. If he knows what he's doing, he is going to try to spin to face me, to avoid me taking his back. But I worked hard to get here, and I want to take his back, dammit! So I am going to pin one of his legs to the ground before he can spin. I slide one shin over the the back of his hamstring... |

Take his back and look to sink your hooks, or whatever style of back attack you prefer. |
