KNEEBAR AFTER BREAKING YOUR
OPPONENT'S GUARD

1. You have broken your opponent's guard. In this case I have used the "knee in the tailbone" pass.
Most any type of pass will work, but this one is the easiest to get this move to work.

2. Start to sit back while still holding your opponent away from you. Be careful that he doesn't catch you in an arm lock here.
You will want to start to secure his leg as shown.

3. As you start to go over his leg ,as shown in the picture here, you will want to keep his leg in the air........

4. .......to give yourself room to spin around his knee cap.
The trick to this is keeping his leg from moving as you spin completely around it. Keep his leg in the air to help you with this. You want to try and get your pelvis either on or below his knee cap, more toward his groin. Make sure that you still have his leg trapped with your arm, the same way as when you started.

You will have to loosen the grip you have on his leg with your arm in order to be able to spin. Just don't completly let go.

5. If the spin is done correctly, you should end up like this. Be sure to keep your knees together when you get to this position.

6. To finish, squeeze your knees together , keep his leg tight to your side, and thrust your hips forward.

This particular technique has been used many times successfully in Pankration events.
