- 1). Grab one of your of your opponent's arms with both of your hands. The hand on the same side as the opponent's arm reaches up and grabs the elbow. The hand on the opposite side reaches across the body and grabs the hand or wrist. It is important to secure your opponent's arm tightly so he can't use it to prevent your upa escape.
- 2). Secure your opponent's same-side leg. If you are holding her right arm, secure the right leg. Do this by placing your foot on the outside of her foot. Make sure your ankles are touching so your opponent can not slip her leg out and prevent your upa escape.
- 3). Bridge straight up. Push hard with both legs and shoot your hips toward the sky. This takes advantage of the powerful muscles in your thighs and hips. Even a very heavy opponent can be easily lifted this way. Your opponent will be propelled both up and forward.
- 4). Push with your legs toward your shoulder. Do this on the side where you are trapping your opponent's arm and leg. Since he can't use his arm and leg on that side to support him, he has no way to stop you from rolling him over. Look over your shoulder and flip him onto his back. It is important to roll him to the side and up, not just on his side. If you do that, your opponent could stop your momentum, leaving you both on your sides.
- 5). Neutralize your opponent's arms. When you roll her over, she will be flat on her back and you will be between her legs. Even though you are on top now, you are still in a vulnerable position. Put your hands on your opponent's biceps so she can't hit or choke you. Work your way up and get out from between your opponent's legs.
