Knee-Bow Alternative (Strong Whizzer)
Use this when you cannot get thumb-to-belly-button depth because the opponent has a very strong whizzer and keeps your hand on the floor. It solves the stalemate by bowing the opponent's knee out (using your knee and hand), turning your hips, and lifting their ankle to shelf the leg. The mechanism is opening their knee enough to blade your body out, then lifting the leg to remove their base. Risk: they can jump to kani basami if you are not ready to sprawl.
