Arm-in front-headlock strangle threaded under near arm.

It is a defensive position when we are being attacked from Cross Ashi Garami situation. It has 2 main objectives: - Hide our primary leg heel from the opponent. - Denied access to our secondary leg to avoid Double Trouble attacks on us.

It is a continuation of D1 where we gain inside position with our secondary leg and get up to our knees having our hips higher than the opponents hips. It will allow us: - Keep moving in the right direction (we want to go to our knees). - Expose the opponent hamstrings. - Go up to our knees - From our knees to have stronger hamstring exposure on the opponent's outside leg that we can explote with our arms, and on the opponent's inside leg that we can explote with our secondary leg by posting our foot there.

It is a continuation of D2 where we are 4 pointed on the floor. It will allow us: - Push back with our leg into the opponent. - Misdirect our own knee for escapes, go for rolls, knee slips.

It is a continuation of D3 where we are standing. It will allow us: - Use gravity against the opponent by pushing his Ashi Garami down away from us.

Cross Ashi (Inside Sankaku) with the opponent's secondary leg crossed to the other side of our body.

Both opponents seated in front of each other, one has both legs on the inside.

Both opponent seatead in front of each other.

When we attack one of the opponent's legs, the majority of resistance comes from the other leg. So if we can control both legs while attacking we would have better chances of success.
