How to do it
Works from
Puts you in
- Frame with your shin across their torso, knee high toward their shoulder and foot on their hip, and hold their wrist or sleeve
- When they drive in, pull them onto the shield
- Lift with your shin and pull the arm across
- Roll them to the side and come up on top
How it connects
Get it right
Key details
- Their weight must be moving into you

Common mistake
Letting the knee drop to their belly, so they crush the shield and flatten you.
If they defend it
