Half Cross Lock

While sitting atop your opponent, you take his left lapel in your left hand

(thumb outside) and his right lapel in your right hand (fingers outside) and

pull with your left hand and push with your right, as if wringing out a towel,

to choke him. The grip with the thumb inside is the regular grip;with the

fingers inside, it is the reverse grip. (Fig. 2A

To apply this technique, you must control your opponent with your knees

and feet. Apply pressure to his neck with your left inner wrist and right

outer wrist. The positions of your hands can be reversed, but in either case

the hand on top must hold his lapel with the fingers outside.

Defense

Push your opponent's right elbow up with your left hand while pulling

him with your right, and roll him offto your right side. You can roll him to

your left, but in that case you must also stick your right hand under his right

forearm and pry his hands loose, then place the palm of your hand behind

his head. If your opponent is attacking you from the top or the side, break

his grip with your left hand.
