@OneShotStop229 Competition is not real? A street fight or a sport fight are both "real", aren't they? I think the main question is whether or not it works on a resisting opponent, anyway. There are no perfect techniques, but if a technique can be effective in live rolling, then surely it has some utility. Jean Jacques Machado features this technique in one of his books by the way.
well oneshot, I'm not saying I'm the best at all but i have trained and competed for over 10 years and i know that technique would not work on the street or in a sport situation. your looking for your opponent to either get a take down on you or tap you out or have him punch your face in.
@minator3 This is not a technique for a real situation. This is a competition move. There are techniques taught for either scenario, and anyone with more than a month of instruction in martial arts knows that.

I think grabbing the gi pants, instead of just placing the hand on the leg will solve the problem of him stepping back.

@aridavidpaul I agree. That looks like it's missing something.

Why wouldn't he just step his left foot back?
