TAP URGENCY: MODERATE—gi tail creates mechanical advantage through fabric leverage

02

Release immediately when partner taps; fabric mechanics lock tightly quickly

03

Apply pressure gradually from the gi tail grip establishment

04

Defend by controlling gi tails before opponent can establish grip

05

Partner should recognize pressure buildup as fabric wraps around neck
