Anaconda Entries, Kata Gatame & Ankle Picks

Intro del volumen

This volume centers around attacking from the 4-point and seated positions with a focus on anaconda and kata gatame setups, then transitions into ankle pick variations and counter-wrestling reactions. Craig Jones demonstrates how to blend submission threats with positional takedowns and redirection to overwhelm aggressive wrestlers and secure top control or back takes.
