Head and near or far leg connected — variant shapes available transition angles
Top position with hands connected around the opponent's head and one leg, creating a compression loop. The near cradle connects head and same-side knee; the far cradle connects head and cross-body knee — each variant creates distinct entry angles and transition options. Both forms limit movement and apply pinning pressure for attacks.
