August 2017 - Week #4 Technique Companion

Theme & Techniques: Standing Headlock Escape to Tani Otoshi, Kneeling Guard Break, Single Under Pass

Standing Headlock Escape to Tani Otoshi

Couldn't find a video that exactly fit but these 2 are pretty close.  I think the biggest difference is that we look to stop their far leg from stepping with our foot and get lower to the .

Single Under Pass

Surprisingly a difficult video to find. The one I linked to is probably the closest to how we do it that I could find.  Unfortunately the guy is teaching during a basketball game in the background. 

Some points to making this pass work.
  • Hips low: Try to plank instead of lifting your butt way in the air.
  • Push forward using your toes.  Don't turn until you have them fully stacked.  Then you can grab their pants for belt to lift their hips up a little more.  
  • After turning push forward again and avoid lifting your head.  Drive their legs to the floor.
  • Make them want to let you pass.
