//01—About this position

What it is

Passing-side hub where the top player has dragged one of the bottom player's legs across the centerline and pinned the trapped thigh against their own shin or knee while squaring their hips. The dragged leg blocks the bottom player's hip rotation and the passer's upper body closes the gap toward the head. Functions as a modern guard-pass hub that connects open guards to side control, back take, and saddle entries.
