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.

Wizzer

1. Use your hand closest to the leg being attacked and create separation by pushing on your opponents shoulder. You don’t need much separation but this will keep your opponent from locking in tight and will make breaking the hold easier.

2. Push off with your toes and turn your hips from facing your opponent to the direction of the attack.

3. At the same time you are twisting your hips pushing your far hip against your opponents body. Use your far hand and arm to push under the armpit of your opponent. If you can reach the leg being attacked grab on to it and as your center shifts as described below this will create a lot of pressure on your opponents shoulder and arms. During this motion drop your shoulder into the movement and push your legs away in a sprawling motion.

4. Move your center of gravity from over your hips and legs to your chest and upper body as you put your chest upon your opponent.

Spiral Ride

1. From referee’s position, you have to adjust the way you start if you want to gain the advantage over your opponent with the spiral. While on top, take the hand you are using to cup your opponent’s elbow and turn your palm up for an underhanded grip. Your thumb should now be on the outside of his elbow. This will give you the ability to quickly get your arm under your opponent’s near-side arm once the referee blows his whistle. Your other arm will remain around your opponent’s midsection, as normal.

2. On the whistle, release the grip you have on your opponent’s elbow and place your arm underneath his near-side armpit. For example, if you used your left hand to cup his left elbow, release that grip and place your left arm underneath his left armpit. Keep your palm up and place the inside of your forearm — just above your thumb — high on his triceps, near the armpit.

The placement of your arm should be “shallow.” That means you shouldn’t get your arm too far “deep” under his armpit. If you can touch the palm of your hand to your opponent’s near-side pectoral, you are in good position. This depth will allow you to block and drive against your opponent’s arm in order to break him down.

3. Release the tight waist and move your hand down towards your opponent’s same-side thigh. For example, if you initially used your right arm for the tight waist, move it down towards his right thigh. From here, spiral his thigh (reach your hand inside of his thigh) and place your palm against his inner thigh.

4. With your arms placed in the correct position, get on your feet. Make sure to keep your chest in contact with your opponent’s back as you do this. Your chest should be positioned high on your opponent’s back, near his shoulder blades. Your head should be over your opponent’s shoulder on the opposite side of his body, next to his head. (If you’re positioned on the left side of his body, your head will “hang” slightly over his right shoulder.) Position your legs slightly behind you so you can pressure into your opponent. This is the spiral ride.

5. With your hips parallel to your opponent’s body, start taking big steps and walk your feet in a circle towards his hands. As you circle, use your forearm to push his arm forward and press against his inner thigh with the palm of your hand. Essentially, you are moving both of your arms away from one another in opposite directions. Use your legs to pressure into him as you do this.

You may not be able to break your opponent down instantly with the spiral. However, if you stay heavy on top of him, circle your feet quickly, and continue to move his arm and leg away from each other with your spiral grips — you will eventually break him flat!

Stand-up

1. Buck up to your knees.

2. Step up with either your right, or left leg.

3. Get wrist control.

4. Try to push your opponents left hand to his left side, and his right hand to his right side.

5. Stay in a squatted position but keep your hips as far away from your opponent as possible, and look up.

6. Clear your arm, then turn, and face your opponent.

Penetration Step

1. Start with either the staggered or squared stance. With either foot take a large step low and forward towards your opponent.  Keep your weight balanced over your leading leg and do not over extend your upper body too much in order to keep this balanced position.   Your hands and arms should remain in close to your body (to avoid getting hooked).

2. Continue to step through while keeping your trailing legs knee off the mat.  If it does hit the mat make sure it does not slide and that no weight is distributed to that knee. (it should bounce off the mat)

3. Continue the step though all the while avoiding your leading leg knee to touch the mat. (This is difficult to perform at first but with leg strength and practice this will be easier to do)

4. Finish the move by moving back up into your original staggered or squared stance.
