Course Synopsis:

This short instructional covers the fundamental concepts of applying the knee reap. Specifically, it outlines the proper steps to enter into the knee reap from seated, standing, and pinned positions. A systematic approach is taken to apply breaking mechanics to the reaping heel hook, and multiple situations are discussed in which the opponent tries to escape using the most common maneuver — the four point stance. Proper mechanics of escaping the reap are also discussed in detail.
