[ML4.09] Single Leg Knee Lock from Top (Uke Face Up)

Warning: This technique should only be practiced with a qualified AOKK instructor present.   

Execution:

After your throw uke backwards (O-soto-gari or Morote-gari)

• Uke should land on their back.
• Pull up on one leg before they can turn and place you in the guard or stand-up.
• Wrap your leg around uke’s.
• Uke’s foot should be trapped against your hip, so he/she cannot pull it away.
• Tie-off to uke’s leg using your foot.
• Lean forwards to apply the pressure.

Note: The pressure is on the knee joint and can include joint separation pain.

• Release the lock when uke taps.
