Setup & key ideas
Before you start
- The passer rises enough to release the lower-leg trap; your hips can move and a foot can reach their far hip.
Key ideas
- Maintain a hip connection as they move away.
- Recover the lower leg without losing your facing position.
Common pitfalls
- Treating a still-pinned lower leg as already recovered.
