How it works

1 · The setup

Seal deep, present a wide target and catch with the defender already displaced below the preferred finishing angle.

2 · The execution

Plant around the defender’s hip, turn the hips and shoulders together and explode upward before help arrives.

3 · The counter

Loading the baseline opens the middle jump hook or the pass out of the double-team.
