Tie-Up, Stance & Level Change Entry / Knee Pull Setup

Before you start

• Assume a wrestling stance facing your partner.
• Establish a double inside tie to control your partner and dictate movement.

Movement sequence

1. Pull with your hands to make your partner step back.
2. Level change as your partner steps back.
3. Reach your outside hand (left hand) down to grab the back of your partner's knee.

Key points

• Double inside tie is actively used to push, pull, and control the opponent.
• Level change timing matches the opponent's backward step.

Common mistakes

Shooting without making the opponent step first. Failing to level change properly before reaching for the back of the knee.

Practice notes

Focus on the connection between your pull and the opponent's reaction step.
