InGrappling, Finishing the Reversal — From Shin-to-Shin.

Problem

Standing with sound posture, no grips; bottom seated with shin-to-shin already on the lead leg.

Tell the room

Beat the shin connection and clear the ankle line. Cash in the connected shin — wrestle up or deepen into an entanglement.

Setup

Standing with sound posture, no grips; bottom seated with shin-to-shin already on the lead leg. Seated, shin-to-shin already connected on standing partner’s lead leg; hands ready.

Score

Disconnect the shin-to-shin and clear the ankle line. Wrestle up to top, OR upgrade the shin-to-shin into a confirmed leg entanglement.

Rules

  1. Source does not require a pin for top’s win on this rung — clearing the first line is enough.
  2. No grips at start.
  3. Starts with the attacking connection already on (finish-first for the guard player).
  4. Source does not ban specific finishes beyond scoring on wrestle-up or confirmed entanglement.
