Game Over
Genusゲームオーバー(Gēmu Ōbā)
TransliterationTranslation: game over
Overview
Game Over is a 10th Planet leg lock finishing position corresponding to what the Danaher system calls 'inside ashi garami' — a reaping heel hook position where the attacker reaps the opponent's leg to attack with an inside heel hook. [1] Part of the 10th Planet warm-up D1 sequence, followed by 'Immediately Roof' leading to the Honey Hole. The trade-off: powerful finish but positionally the attacker can end up 'throwing' the opponent out of the position. [2]

3 videosWhat Instructors Say
The 'Game Over' technique does not appear in the provided transcripts with sufficient instructional detail to synthesize a comprehensive encyclopedia entry. The three submitted videos address different subject matter: Kata Jiu Jitsu provides extensive coverage of the over-under clinch and standing takedown systems (arm drags, body locks, front headlocks, head-outside singles); Still Rolling covers knee-start positions and basic transitions including arm drags and over-under mechanics from the knees; Charles Harriott's video title references 'Game Over & Saddle Entries from Single Leg X' but the transcript contains only silence markers with no audible instructional content. While the Kata Jiu Jitsu and Still Rolling instructors both demonstrate arm drag principles and over-under positioning as foundational tools, neither provides specific instruction on a technique formally titled 'Game Over.' The Charles Harriott video, which might contain relevant saddle or leg-entanglement content based on its title, yields no usable transcription. To properly document this technique at the genus level of leg-entanglement/reaping-heel-hook taxonomy, instructional videos with explicit 'Game Over' technique coverage are required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the over-under clinch position important for takedowns?
Forcing a clinch eliminates half the takedown battle because once you control the clinch, you don't have to worry about opponents shooting from open space. According to Kata Jiu Jitsu, this makes it a crucial position to understand from beginner all the way to the highest levels.
How do I leverage my under hook in the over-under position?
Drop your level so your shoulder is lower than your opponent's collarbone, then blade your front foot to bring your hip underneath your elbow. This creates height with the under hook. Kata Jiu Jitsu emphasizes that you should also use a swimming motion, driving pressure into your opponent and pulling when you feel resistance.
What are the main takedown options from the over-under clinch?
According to Kata Jiu Jitsu, the four main options are: body locks, trapped arm body locks, arm drags, and head-outside single leg takedowns. If you're having difficulty getting a body lock or arm drag, attacking the legs with a head-outside single is the most effective leg grab from this position.
When executing a snap down from the over-under, should I pull on the neck or shoulder?
Kata Jiu Jitsu advises that pulling at the shoulder is more effective for snapping your opponent down than purely using the neck, even though both techniques are valid.
