    • 2 - Get chest to chest contact

Objective

      • Get your nipple over your opponent’s own
      • Take your knees off the mats

      • So instead we train to get to a more advantageous position where we don’t have our knees and elbows separated, our opponent having access to our hips and our backs are not against the mats as this prevents us from having any kind of mobility
