Straight-legged knee isolation - hip-fulcrum control for kneebar attacks
Leg entanglement where one player isolates the opponent's near leg fully extended along the centerline, with the knee joint aligned for hyperextension. The controlling player pinches both thighs above the opponent's knee as a fulcrum while the hips wedge under the back of the knee and the arms clamp the foot against the chest. Unlike ashi garami systems that isolate the foot for rotational heel and ankle attacks, control here sits on the straightened knee line and prevents the leg from bending free.
