Blitz - June-July 2017

As his opponent falls, John takes control of

the legs and also uses the opportunity to

stand up, ready to disengage or attack.

...going all the way to his knees, where he

can release the opponent’s arm and seize

his ankle...

From a

standing

clinch

position,

John drops

sharply with

his weight

anchored

to the

opponent’s

neck

(primarily)

and arm...

...to then ‘pick’ it, pulling the leg up and in as John

simultaneously releases the opponent’s head. The

opponent will naturally be pulling his head up and away,

thus assisting John’s pick via its opposing momentum at

the opposite end of the lever (that being the whole body).
