Outside Leg Pummel (Headquarters Extraction)
Use this when caught in a headquarters position (opponent trapping one of your legs). It solves the problem of being stuck and passed by pummeling your outside leg over the opponent's arm to gain control and extract your trapped leg. The mechanism is using the outside leg pummel to control their arm, lift your hips, and create space to free your leg while establishing a shallow lasso.
