Re: Merkel (sp) First, you need to have your opposite leg in. If you're familiar with leg riding, or maybe you call it "the boots," it's pretty simple. It's "geting a boot in" on the left side, but using your right leg instead of your left as in traditional leg riding. Then, lock your hands around your opponents near arm and head. Do not reach under like you're going to hit a 3/4 nelson, reach over top, draping your right arm between his head and right arm and your left arm under his left arm. Lock your hands. It's pretty much a reverse front-headlock. Stretch him out! This is important. Elongate him.
Once you've done this and he is extended, roll underneath him. Dive your left shoulder under his body towards his right shoulder. If you did it right, he should be on his back and you should be parallel to him. Hold him for the fall or backpoints by maintaning the head-and-arm reverse front headlock grip and straightening the leg you have in. |
