  • Breaking legs, taking backs

    Both days dive deep into the constant battle between attacking the legs and taking the back.

    Day 1 is all about getting to the legs from standing.

    Day 2 is about entanglements and forcing your opponent to pick their poison—give up the leg or expose the back.
