How to do Reverse Sankaku
Starting when uke is in turtle position:
- left hand grabs in the collar
- right hand on the belt
- big pull forward to open uke up
- chop your right heel to hook inside uke's left elbow
- drop your left knee in between their ear and shoulder so that your heel and knee touch under their chest
- instead of going to standard way, post with your left hand on the ground and lay to your left side (don't pinch your knees too tight - you don't want to knock uke over, keep them on their knees)
- using your right heel, flick their elbow up, and chop your left heel into their left armpit
- re-figure-four your legs around them by grabbing your left foot into the back of your right knee
From your figure four position you can:
- go for the choke without rolling
- or you can grab the close leg, pull it over the top and roll through to finish with the pin, choke or arm bar.
