How to do it
Start from
Lands you in
- Grip around their back or belt with one hand and their sleeve or arm with the other, and draw their weight forward over you
- Sit down close to their feet, falling onto your back underneath them
- Hook the inside of one thigh with your instep and lift it as you roll back
- Keep the sleeve, kick them over the top and roll through to come up on top
How it connects
Get it right
Key details
- Sit down right under their hips, not in front of them
- Lift with the hooking leg as you roll
Common mistake
Sitting down far away, so they just step over or sprawl.
If they defend it
They sprawl back: you are already seated with hooks, so play butterfly guard.
