//01—About this position

What it is

Gi-specific guard where the leg threads through the opponent's arm with the foot anchored in their armpit. The leg wrap creates complete control over that limb while limiting their offensive capacity. This control provides a platform for triangles, omoplatas, and sweep options through arm isolation.
