Far Foot, Far Knee

1. From referee’s position, bring the hand you’re using to control your opponent’s elbow underneath his body and reach across to grasp the knee furthest from you. For instance, if you’re lining up on your opponent’s right side, you will reach for his left knee. Your palm should be in contact with the outside of his knee in this position. Bring your free hand off of your opponent’s naval and grip the foot of the same leg in which you are controlling the knee.

2. While gripping your opponent’s far knee and far foot, pull this leg in towards you to take away his balance and keep him from defending against the breakdown. Remember to keep the shoulder of the arm you used to grasp your opponent’s knee underneath his body.

3. Get on your toes and drive your opponent in the direction of the leg you’re controlling. He will not be able to use this leg and will fall flat onto his hip. From here, continue to wrestle on offense.
