Last Wednesday\u2019s class was a little weird at the end. One of the brown belts showed the 3-sided choke, and that lead to a round of \u201chave you seen this one\u201d. Well we started in an arm bars and Sensei showed a leg bar \u2013 which is just weird \u2013 you basically end up with your weight on your shoulders and your chin buried in your navel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-835\" title=\"Leg Bar\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/leg_lock2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1879\" height=\"1161\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sensei did not teach the move \u2013 just showed us (on me) twice. However I think this is what was happening. It felt like he stepped over my leg, hooked the ankle and sat back pretty much like you would setting an arm bar. Just like you need to be careful sitting into the technique with an arm bar so you don\u2019t blow the elbow, Sensei was similarly carful to keep things loose enough while sitting into so\u00a0 he did not blow my knee.\u00a0 He could have easily torqued against my knee and blown it any time he wanted to, but the bar seems to be a pin pulling straight down the V formed by your thighs. The result is stacking the pinned person on their shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leg bar &#8211; just like an arm bar but on the leg! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-martial-arts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=827"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1162,"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/827\/revisions\/1162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hhhh.org\/joeboy\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
