Peterson roll (sit-out) from turtle to leg entanglement
You trap the arm around your waist and roll them over you into a leg entanglement. Use it when you're turtled and they ride on your side.
Step by step
- From turtle, with them on your side and their arm around your waist, trap that arm: clamp your arm over their elbow and grab their wrist.
- Slide your near leg inside their near thigh as a hook.
- Tuck your near shoulder and roll toward them, keeping the arm trapped. Your hook lifts their leg and they go over you.
- As they land, keep their near leg between yours and wrap it into ashi garami.
- Sit up and control their foot. Attack the straight ankle lock, or move to the saddle where allowed.
Details that make it work
- Trap the arm before you roll, or they stay on top.
- The hook does the lifting. The roll only works if their leg comes with you.
Common mistakes
- Rolling over your neck instead of your shoulder.
- Rolling away from them, which gives up your back.
Drill it
