Ben Zee (@coachbz) shows a limp leg series for single leg defense: frame, whizzer and hand fight, circle the leg out, push the head, and knee slide out when they get the shoelace grip. From the video: https://youtu.be/Vzf1NMC1DwQ

Flow outline

  1. Frame And Hand Fight

    • When they pick up your leg, do these at once: frame, put your head in position, whizzer, and hand fight.
    • From Ben Zee (@coachbz), in the video "Single Leg Defense: Limp Leg Series."
    • Frame: get your frame in as they pick up the leg
    • Head Position: put your head in position
    • Grip: hand fight and attack the hands
    • Grip: the whizzer is part of the hand fight

  2. Circle Leg Out

    • Circle your leg out to the side, pull weight, and stomp.
    • Leg Path: circle the leg out to the side
    • Weight: pull your weight and stomp

  3. Lift And Kick Free

    • Lift your knee, kick out, and keep your frame as they come up.
    • Checkpoint: lift your knee to free it
    • Frame: keep your frame as they come up

  4. Push Head And Step Out

    • Push the head with a thumb post to the neck, lift your knee, step out, and frame.
    • Grip: thumb post the neck to push the head
    • Leg Path: lift your knee and step out

  5. Turn Hip And Run

    • When you push, lift your knee, turn your hip, and run.
    • Hip Line: turn your hip as you lift the knee
    • Timing: once your knee is out, turn and run
    • Leg Path: knee and run, heel to the butt

  6. High Crotch Defense

    • If they are in on a high crotch, bump them and move their head to the inside. That turns it into a single leg, then lift your knee and get out.
    • Head Position: bump them and move their head to the inside
    • Reaction: moving the head turns it into a single leg, then lift your knee and you are out

  7. Turn In And Sprawl

    • If you turn away you bundle your own knees and get taken down. Turn into them a little, hip in, and sprawl.
    • Reaction: turning away bundles your own knees and gets you taken down
    • Hip Line: turn into them a little and hip in

  8. Strip The Grip

    • Reach down and strip their grip on your leg.
    • Grip: reach down and strip the grip
    • Reaction: they usually break your grip and go to the single

  9. Push Away And Cup Head

    • When your head is not coming back in position, push away and cup their head down as they bring it in.
    • Reaction: their head is like a wall when you try to move it
    • Timing: cup the head down as they bring it into you
    • Leg Path: once your knee is out, turn the hip and take your leg to the outside if you can

  10. Knee Slide Escape

    • When they lace the grip on your shoelaces, knee slide to slip your leg out.
    • Grip: they lace your shoelaces so you cannot just pull the leg out
    • Checkpoint: you have to knee slide, not just pull the leg out
    • Weight: put weight in and hop to slip the leg out

  11. Heel Through The Hole

    • As soon as your heel makes it through the hole, lift and curl to slip the leg out.
    • Leg Path: as soon as your heel makes it through the hole, lift
    • Finish: curl to complete the slip
    • Key detail It is the same idea as a heel hook escape.
