Leg Control Shot

This is the technique i teach to people who come in with previous experience in folk style wrestling who want to integrate their old training in with their new training at Remix Dojo. This is a basic single leg shot, but with a few key changes. first, both knees go on the inside of the leg you are attacking, and secondly you do not force them forward or pick them up. instead you fall back into a leg control position, and then work them over from there. If someone is already really quick with their shots, this is an easy entry into leg control.

• the fight

you want to shoot on them, but you want to finish the fight quickly. points do not matter to you, all that matters is the sub.
• the shot

drop level and enter for a single leg shot as you normally would but make sure your lead knee is heading in between your opponents legs, and not toward the outside.
• the shot 2

you should end up with your head on the inside against his hip, your arms wrapped tightly around his lead thigh, and your lead knee on the INSIDE as apposed to most traditional shots.
• the sit

the key point on the sit is to make sure you DO NOT leg go of his thigh. you need to hold on to this very tightly so that when you sit back his weight is pulled forward and off balance. let your lead leg go though his legs and let your back foot slide up into his crotch with your knee pointing out.
• the wrap

your lead leg should wrap around his thigh. make sure your other foot does not come out from in between his legs or he can mount a counter attack. at this point you should still be hugging his thigh tightly.
• the stacked position

you should end up looking something like this.his leg should be completely under your control and he should be off balance. you should STILL be holding tightly onto his thigh.
• extend

extend your legs into his body. your bottom leg should hit his other thigh and your top leg should press against his hip. this should force him to the mat.
• the slide

as he falls, you can now loosen your grip on his thigh and slide your arms back toward his ankle. This will set you up for various leg locks and if you are fast you can finish the strait ankle lock with out having to even change your grip.
