Setup & key ideas
Before you start
- Control of both legs and a body configuration that permits the directional change.
Key ideas
- Recognize the compact leg defense.
- Redirect the legs to approach the head end.
- Clear the remaining arm frames before settling.
Common pitfalls
- Rotating past the legs is not the same as having a stable north–south pin.
