Giftwrap & Straight Jacket

What’s Inside

The gift wrap was one of GrandMaster Rickson’s dominant mount positions. In this class we talk about how to get to the Gift Wrap and take the back.

When taking the back we can stay on top (which is my preference) or concede the bottom, but finish with the mata leao (i.e. lion killer).

Special thanks to Prof. Henry Akins for the details on getting under the chin during the transition and not after.
