Tight Waist, Far Ankle

1. From referee’s position, release the hand that is on your opponent’s elbow and reach under his body and across his midsection. The hand that you have positioned on your opponent’s naval in referee’s position will reach down to his far ankle. That is, if you are lining up on your opponent’s right side, you will reach your hand down to his left ankle, and vice versa.

Grip your opponent’s ankle at the very top of the laces on his shoes.

2. Lift your opponent’s ankle up and slightly away from his body. Try to lift your opponent’s ankle as high as you can in order to make it difficult for him to defend and regain control of his leg.

3. With your opponent’s ankle in the air, get off of your knees and onto your toes. Keep your chest in contact with the center of his back and use your legs to drive your opponent directly forward. Doing so will put a great amount of weight on your opponent’s hands and cause him to fall flat on his stomach.
