TOP PLAYER (ATTACKER)
POSITION
Attacker is behind them, soles on the back of both knees, one hand on each ankle.
OBJECTIVE
Attacker starts behind a standing partner, both feet on the back of their knees and both ankles gripped. Climb to the back without letting go. Chest-to-back with the hands locked at the waist counts after a 1-second hold.
CONSTRAINTS
Keep both feet on the knees. Both off for more than 2 seconds gives the defender a point. Trade hand for hand. One ankle grip stays held while the other climbs. No submissions. Leg locks and other attacks score nothing during the climb. Reset when the attacker holds chest behind the shoulder line with hands clasped at the waist for 1 second; when the defender stands up and disengages fully to neutral; when the defender turns to face and finishes chest-to-chest on top; or when both of the attacker's feet are off the knees for more than 2 seconds. 3-5 min rounds.
WIN CONDITION
Chest behind the shoulder line with hands clasped at the waist, held 1 second.
BOTTOM PLAYER (DEFENDER)
POSITION
Defender stands with their back turned, hands free.
OBJECTIVE
Stand up and disengage fully, or turn to face and finish chest-to-chest on top. Chest-to-back with the hands locked at the waist counts after a 1-second hold.
CONSTRAINTS
Same keep-both-feet-on-the-knees, trade-hand-for-hand, no-submissions, and named reset rules. 3-5 min rounds.
WIN CONDITION
Stand up and disengage fully to neutral; or turn to face and finish chest-to-chest on top.

Adjust
Easier
Only one foot has to stay on the back of a knee. The other can roam.
Harder
The finish needs a seatbelt grip and at least one hook in, held for 3 seconds.
If it stalls
If the attacker keeps releasing both ankles, cue: “Trade hand for hand.” Hip grip first, then the other ankle.
