Because I'm a bigger guy, I like to muscle the guy to stand up almost to the point where I am squeezing his waist with a bear hug (opponents hands usually come up to push at your chest or shoulders here-usually, not always)keeping your head in tight and right shoulder pushing into his chin to make him look up(dumog principle-also this is where the clinch and punch drill must be worked alot-and I mean alot, so that you are not eating his punches as well) from there, I like to pull him in with a big jerking motion, step my rear leg behind him while I turn my body, bring the same side arm and push it though while going into almost a horse stance (hosima-osima-sp?) then pushing back with my elbow/humerous(depending how deep I am) against his solar plexus/stomach/waist/whatever he gives you. This sensitivity can only be gained by working a positioning clinch drill with strikes and trying this specific drill against someone who knows you are trying to do it. There are so many attributes that need to be worked on before this "technique" can actually be utilized against a resisting opponent. BTW, the way I am describing it is not as the first picture on that site is showing it, I am talking more about lower in the site a picture where you step in behind the opponent and make him fall back over your leg almost like he is going to sit on your lap. I think Burton was talking about the forward facing version...just know that they utilize the same principles. Alvis, I got the impression you were talking about the rear facing one as well, I'm not sure, though.
