- Blocking bag or shield
Your partner holds a shield on the outside and pushes toward the sideline. You pin his outside arm and break away toward the inside. Six reps, then switch roles.
Key points
- The hand that pins the opponent should grab above the elbow, never at the wrist: if you grab at the wrist, the opponent can break free with a shoulder roll.
- The inside shoulder leads the way; the rest of the body follows.
- Go through the push, forward: backing off gives him exactly the time he wants.
Common mistakes
- Pinning with both hands, which blocks your own release as much as his.
- Getting free by drifting wide: you end up on the sideline, which does his work for him.
