“You would find it impossible to chop that right arm if the bottom man were controlling the left hand so that you could not tight waist him. That is why you have to grab his left hand and extend it away from your waist when going from your butt back to your base. You can't effectively chop without pressure forward, and you can't create the pressure needed without a tight waist.”

Why the need to criticize the move? It's a technique! Who cares if you think you can defense this defense to leg riding? I'm sure it would work on you and your hips would be so flat the guy on bottom could just bull rush you to your back after the fact anyway, so what's the deal? Besides all that talk and his technique addresses your contention by throwing the laces off his back. Presto, up to neutral. It's a good move b/c it's constant motion. Sit on the bottom and you stay on the bottom, move and 90% of the time you're out. Look at the Iowa Ok St 184 match, Keddy gets an escape in less than one second b/c he forces the action. Same thing here. Good defense. I LOVED when guys threw in legs, it meant at least one if not two and some NF.

When you do this move your right arm right there to be chopped. I mean , look at 2:20, a good leg rider would figure four the legs and keep em in while chopping the arm, and boom, your back where you started from.
