Running the Pipe
Position Details
Running the pipe is a single leg finish where you drive your opponent backward by driving their leg between their other leg, like running a pipe through. It's a powerful finish against defensive opponents.
Key Principles
- Control their leg tight to your chest
- Drive forward, pushing their captured leg between their legs
- Keep driving and turning the corner
- The backward momentum takes them down
Concepts
- Forward Pressure: Constant forward drive is essential
- Leg Position: Their leg goes between their own legs
- Corner Turn: Turn the corner as you drive to complete the finish
- Head Position: Keep your head tight to their body throughout
