Rafael Mendes | Leg Drag Transitions When Opponent Defends | artofjiujitsu.com

youtube·Rafael Mendes·9:58·2 techniques

Overview

Rafael Mendes demonstrates how to transition from a leg drag when an opponent defends by posting a knee to the chest or pulling it out to stand. He breaks down two primary counters: lifting the hips to shoot through for a leg weave, and standing to catch the knee, hook it, and switch to a collar-and-pants grip to take the back. The lesson emphasizes maintaining forward pressure, continuous leg control, and never moving backward once a dominant position is secured.
