Countering Legs, part one: from referee's position
Countering legs when you are still on your base, involves following a few basic rules:
1. Learn to Keep your position and don't let yourself get broken down. Wide knees and arms for starters.
2. Fight with the feet - this is a technique I teach the athletes in my club and also is on my DVD. Its hard to explain here, but basically, you hook the ankle with your free leg, then move your tied up leg inside his. You also use the free leg to kick off a scissors if he has it. This technique keeps you from reaching with your arms and getting into trouble. It works very well against the majority of leg riders, because most of them hook the ankle and go into cross-body. A cross body leg rider can always be countered in our system.
3. If you do fight using your arms - use the Inside Arm technique, get the same-side arm inside their leg and get that arm wide! In other words, don't grab the leg - just Position the arm. You still have to be able to hold your position when they go to break you down. Then you can circle away from that leg to escape.
