Leg Shelf
Description
- After a takedown or from top position, step over both of opponent's legs
- Cross your feet to secure the position
- Use your body weight to pin opponent's hips and legs
Key Point: This position prevents opponent from putting their feet on the ground, limiting their ability to escape. Can be combined with upper body controls for maximum effectiveness.
