As I lift my lef t leg to
defend, I make sure my knee is
raised above my waistline and my
toes are pointed down. My right
(rear) leg is bent slightly at the
knee for extra balance and shock
absorbancy. You will notice that
in figure 3, I keep my right hand
up to defend my face. My left
hand now reaches down to grab
my opponent’s right ankle.
Once I secure my opponent’s
ankle, I will step forward,
hooking my right leg behind my
opponent’s left. I step forward
enough so that my belly is touching
my opponent’s inner r ight
leg.
