- 3 steps
Kick a leg through and sit to your hip to create space, then turn in to face the opponent. Also known as the Sit-out turn-in or the Sit-out turn-out. Here is the exact breakdown from the DARCE app: 3 steps, the details that make it work, and the mistakes to avoid.
Step by step
- 01
Referee’s position, bottom
On all fours, hips ready to move.
- 02
Kick through & sit
Shoot a leg through and sit your hips out to the side, breaking their chest pressure.
- 03
Turn in to face
Spin in toward them on your hips to come up facing, escaping or even reversing to top.
Key details
- Sit your hips all the way out to break their weight.
- Keep your near elbow tight so they cannot re-grab the waist.
- Turn in on the sit-out, not away, to face and reverse.
Common mistakes
- Sitting out without clearing their arm from your waist.
- Leaving the hips under them so they re-flatten you.
- Turning the wrong way into their pressure.
