//01—About this position

What it is

Control position where one practitioner sits behind and to opponent's side with their near leg trapped between the controller's legs. Leg hooks lock the trapped leg in place while upper body control is maintained. This position creates paths to twister, calf slicer, and back takes not available from standard positions.
