Double Under Turtle Back Take
July 25, 2023
- Start in top turtle with a double under gable grip.
- Use your weight to open up the near side for your near side knee to get into uke's armpit and keep uke from turning to face you.
- Shoot your other knee around uke while you insert your near side hook.
- You now have opposite corners of uke's torso controlled. Switch to seatbelt if desired. Get your second hook.
Variations
- You can use similar mechanics with the rear bodylock if uke is standing and leaning forwards.
Keys
- Don't let uke out-rotate you. Use your grips and weight to hold them back until you shoot for the far side.
