Instructions

  1. 1Start with one leg over the shoulder and the other leg's knee bent for the lock.
  2. 2Pull the trapped-side leg across and angle your hips 45 degrees off-line.
  3. 3Lock the figure four with the leg, not by pulling the head with your hands.
  4. 4Finish by pulling the head down and extending your hips, not squeezing the knees alone.

What to focus on

Cutting an off-angle before locking the figure four.

Common mistake

Staying square to the opponent, which leaves the choke loose and easy to posture out of.
