Yeah.

Okay. So we're gonna go in between the legs, reaching his heel with both hands and I need to push his knee under my armpit.

So it's not my chest. It's here. Use your, I like to use my foot to push into him.

Okay. I have more strength this way. Sometimes I'm out here, he might roll me that way or it's more of a scramble.

When I come here, I'm gonna take his foot.

As I fall, I'm pulling his foot outward. Okay. Now when I catch it, I catch it with my head.

My arm comes underneath and I'm securing with my Gi.

Now, instead of hips, pulling your legs back and arching your back for the finish.

So he locks it up.

I dive in.

Thank you.
