Establishing Your Base and Arm Position

The defender begins by establishing a solid, grounded stance with feet shoulder-width apart. Both arms are raised to create defensive positioning and prepare for the counter-technique.

Leg Positioning and Shield Creation

The defender steps the inside leg around the attacker's body, positioning it directly behind the attacker's thigh. This leg placement serves as a structural shield, preventing the attacker from maintaining control during the escape.

Securing the Knee Hold

The defender wraps their arm behind the attacker's knee, using a pants grip if available for better control. This positioning is critical for executing the lifting mechanism that follows.

Proper Squat Mechanics

The defender maintains an upright back while lowering into a squat position, engaging the leg muscles rather than relying on upper body strength. This posture distributes force through the larger leg muscles and prevents back strain.

Executing the Lift

Using leg drive, the defender lifts the attacker off the ground and onto their hips in a controlled manner. The power comes primarily from quadriceps and hip extension, not from arm strength.

Maintaining Control Post-Lift

Even as the attacker attempts to maintain their grip, the defender holds the elevated position with relative ease due to proper leg engagement. This demonstrates the efficiency of leveraging larger muscle groups over upper body strength.
