MMA’s most sought-after grappling coach, Pancrase Submission Wrestling world champion Ricky Lundell shows you how to tighten up your ground game with former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir. Here, the pair demonstrates the single-leg defense to cut-back heel hook.
1. Frank (black T-shirt) grabs Ricky’s right leg for a single-leg takedown.
2. Ricky adjusts himself and puts his left hand down to the mat.
3. Ricky swings his left leg behind Frank and uses his weight and momentum to sit down and take Frank down. Ricky catches Frank’s left leg under his left arm as they hit the deck.
4. Frank’s left foot is under Ricky’s shoulder. He reaches over to grab Frank’s heel with his right hand, hooks his left hand onto his right wrist and turns to the right to force the tap.
