Butterfly / Banana Split

1. Leg ride your opponent. From the top position, slip your right leg inside of his right thigh, or left leg inside of his left thigh. Then hook your toes around his ankle or calf. This hooked leg will anchor you in position, and create one side of the banana split.
2. Reach across and lock both arms under your opponent's free leg, so that your hands lock on the inside of his leg just above the knee. While leg riding you will not be square with your opponent, but offset, so that you can attack any part of the side of his body opposite your hooked leg.
3. Rock backward, pulling the leg you grabbed toward you. This will turn your opponent on his back, while each of his legs are restrained, one by your hooked leg from the leg ride, and one from your arms.
4. Use your arms and hooked leg to separate your opponents legs as far apart as possible. This will cause him to go flatter so you can score back points.
5. If it is apparent that you will not be able to pin your opponent with the banana split, roll forward back into your leg riding position after you've scored your back points.
