Feint-to-Two-on-One Wrist Control from Closed Guard

Use this when the opponent hunkers down in closed guard with no intention of standing. Feinting the leg scoop forces them to post their hand away, leaving the wrist exposed for a two-on-one grip. This grip prevents them from resetting to neutral and opens both upper-body and lower-body attacks.
