  • Use a solid, low stance with head pressure for set-up and defense
  • Use power penetrations to the center of your opponent for doubles, singles, high-crotches, etc
  • Keep tight side pressure for head outside singles
  • When your head is trapped you must work to keep the hips free and moving.
