Glorious Gam Game: Capturing Saddle

*gam: a leg, especially in reference to the shapeliness of a woman's leg. You know, like yours.

Lord Lachlan with a nice slip n’ slide into saddle. Devil is in the small details on this one boys. Just a heads up… ignore the Chinese subtitles… I take zero responsibility for how this information came to me. 😳

Read time: ~5 minutes [10-15min for you]

**to learn progression, drill each step separately until comfortable and blend transitions together

S1: Spread em’

Goal Simplified:

  • push on legs

  • step entry leg to opposite a$$ cheek

  • spread legs open

  • notice L hand = shin / R hand = inside knee with locked out arm [meaning: using skeletal frame vs muscle]

  • step entry-leg to opposite butt cheek [to clear entry-leg knee over bottom player knee

Slightly different angle

S2: Karaoke Step

Goals Simplified:

  • initiate angled back step

  • simultaneously, punch arm through legs

  • R arm initiates punch-through [curved direction, NOT linear]

  • Karaoke back step all to align knee with bottom player’s hips

trust your step, go until your hand is through your leg

S3: Scissor Scoop

Goals Simplified:

  • knee to knee

  • scissor your legs together

  • grip and rip

  • watch knee placement: tuck knee behind their knee

  • lock knee into place

  • scissor both of your legs together to create pinning pressure on their leg being threatened

  • L hand transition: go from shin on initial step and once this scissor step is initiated, switch to collect lasso grip on leg

scoop n’ sit to finish

Final Recap

As usual, think conceptually. Think simple. Push to pull opponents leg > angle back-step all the way to the hip > pin leg with your legs > collect other foot > sit forward or backward > FINISH.

Drill until it’s a feeling. BJJALLDAY, OUT.
