BRANDON SLAY: So this next little bit right here apply to three to four minutes. I am going to show you how you may go to attack a high crotch and the high crotch is not there, but a single leg is staring us in the face. So we need to be able to transition. It is called chain wrestling. Going from one move to the other move. Come on out Robert and Steven. So what happens, what this looks like is Steven may be in a really good stance here, his stance, and Robert made movements so he is close enough, he goes slow, he lowers his level, he goes to attack a high crotch and Steven pulls his legs away, right here. But right now, Robert sees a single sternum right in front of him. So he can bring his trail leg back up to recoil that power again. Now he can re-penetrate back up in to Steven for a single leg. Go on and finish it altogether, Robert. Sets the table, pulls it out, cut his handle, trips, finish his takedown. Let us do it one more time. Stay a little closer on that shot. So he goes, he lowers up, he goes to attack a high crotch. Steven pulls his leg back, pulls his leg back, single, steps out, curls it up, creates his handle, steps closer, trips, finishes his takedown. So the point I am showing here, guys, is not, when you go to attack a high crotch, it is not always open. We are wrestling great guys. They are going to pull their leg back. But when they go to pull their leg back, he goes to shoot a high crotch, I am like, "No, you are not." I am going to pull my leg back, "No, you are not." There is a single that you can finish. So it is chain wrestling. Going from one move to the other. And that is how you become a great wrestler. Because your first shot is not always going to work. So now we have a double leg. We have a high crotch, we have a single leg. We have three different moves that we can chain wrestle to success.
