Training Notes

✓After securing both legs, immediately begin moving laterally in a circular arc — don't stall with the grip

✓Keep the opponent's legs pinched tight to your chest as you run the arc

✓Drive your head into their hip on the turning side to maintain off-balance pressure

✓Your feet take short, fast steps in a semicircle — like running around a barrel

✓The opponent's free upper body has to follow the arc, and they can't plant to resist

✓Use the run-the-pipe when the opponent sprawls on your initial double — turn the corner to finish

Common Mistakes

!Running in a straight line instead of an arc — the circular motion is what off-balances them

!Letting the legs separate during the run — keep them pinched tight

!Stopping the run when the opponent tries to base — that's exactly when you need to keep moving

!Head not driving into their hip, so they can rotate their body to face you

!Steps too big and slow — short, choppy, fast steps maintain momentum

!Trying to run the pipe without first securing a tight grip on both legs

Стандартен двоен захват с обиколка (Run-The-Pipe Double)

Genus

Стандартният двоен захват с обиколка изпълнява основния страничен завършек на двоен захват за краката, при който атакуващият захваща и двата крака след проникващата стъпка, вдига ги настрани и след това тича по кръгова дъга, като държи краката повдигнати. [1] Движението при тичане генерира центробежна сила, която прави невъзможно запазването на равновесие на един или на никой крак. [1,2] Атакуващият поддържа позицията на главата от вътрешната страна на бедрото, натиск с гърдите върху бедрата на противника и непрекъснато кръгово движение, докато противникът не падне. [2] Този завършек е стандартният вторичен вариант, когато директният пробив е неуспешен. [2,3]
