Leg Shelf

Description

  1. After a takedown or from top position, step over both of opponent's legs
  2. Cross your feet to secure the position
  3. 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.
