Head-Inside Arm Drag to Standing Back

Use this when you have wrist control and want to reach standing back or front headlock without speed. The slow, controlled entry keeps your head inside (temple-to-temple), making it harder for the opponent to counter, and finishes by stepping on the far foot to break posture into turtle.
