Setup & key ideas
Before you start
- Collar-and-sleeve control with their hand above your hip line and room for a foot-on-hip frame.
Key ideas
- Establish the hand grips before offering your feet to the passer.
- Use the hip frame against retained upper-body grips to separate their elbow from their knee.
- If they kneel into the space, adjust your angle before elevating your hips toward their shoulders.
Common pitfalls
- Throwing the legs up before creating the angle and elevation for a controlled catch.
