Top Tips
White Belt: Putting your foot on your opponent’s hip and sitting down is the safest way to pull guard.
Brown Belt: Dropping too far away from your opponent will not give you enough leverage to perform this throw.
Black Belt: You can attempt a helicopter armbar by throwing your hips towards your opponent’s arm as they’re elevated.
