diag_2	Diagnostic Go/No-Go Gates	In Knee Cut Precondition, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Can your heel touch your backside?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?	Before driving into the knee cut pass, verify your heel is tight to your buttock (hamstring curl). If your heel is pulled away from your backside, your knee wedge is overextended and unweighted, allowing the bottom player to recover guard or attack the leg.	{ "must_mention": [ "heel", "knee cut", "down-and-back" ], "concept_groups": [ [ "heel", "backside", "buttock", "butt", "hamstring" ], [ "knee cut", "knee slice", "wedge" ], [ "down-and-back", "hip", "underhook", ...
diag_3	Diagnostic Go/No-Go Gates	In Kimura Grip Break Defense, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Can you straighten your arm?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?	In Kimura defense, as long as your elbow is straighter than 90 degrees or anchored to your hip/thigh, the rotational lever is weak. Once your hand is pried free and your elbow bends to 90 degrees behind your back, shoulder rotation is lost.	{ "must_mention": [ "straighten", "kimura", "hip" ], "concept_groups": [ [ "straighten", "straight", "90 degrees", "elbow" ], [ "kimura", "figure-four", "wrist" ], [ "hip", "shoulder", "lever", "fulcrum", "tap"...
diag_4	Diagnostic Go/No-Go Gates	In Straight Armbar Escape Timing, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Has the elbow crossed the centerline?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?	If your elbow remains inside their thigh/hip fulcrum, you can escape via the hitchhiker roll or stack.

In triangle defense, if your spine is upright and your head is aligned over your hips before they lock the figure-four and cut a 90-degree angle, you can frame their hips and posture out. Once your posture is broken and their shin locks across your neck at 90 degrees, stacking recklessly risks cervical injury.	{ "must_mention": [ "posture", "angle", "triangle" ], "concept_groups": [ [ "posture", "head", "spine", "hips" ], [ "angle", "90-degree", "perpendicular", "figure-four", "shin" ], [ "triangle", "knee", "frame",...
diag_7	Diagnostic Go/No-Go Gates	In Front Headlock Chin-Strap, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Is your chin cup hooking the mandible?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?	A proper chin-strap grip cups the bony point of the opponent's chin (mandible) while the forearm frames their collarbone/shoulder. Slipping onto the soft throat loses rotational head control and lets them circle out.	{ "must_mention": [ "chin", "front headlock", "control" ], "concept_groups": [ [ "chin", "mandible", "jaw" ], [ "front headlock", "collarbone", "shoulder", "elbow" ], [ "control", "head", "angle", "guillotine", ...

In Outside Heel Hook Escape, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Can you point your toes?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?

If you can extend your ankle into plantarflexion (point your toes), you still have rotational slack to clear your knee line. If your foot is pinned in dorsiflexion (toes pulled toward your shin), spinning will tear your knee ligaments—tap immediately.

In Knee Cut Precondition, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Can your heel touch your backside?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?

Before driving into the knee cut pass, verify your heel is tight to your buttock (hamstring curl). If your heel is pulled away from your backside, your knee wedge is overextended and unweighted, allowing the bottom player to recover guard or attack the leg.

In Kimura Grip Break Defense, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Can you straighten your arm?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?

In Kimura defense, as long as your elbow is straighter than 90 degrees or anchored to your hip/thigh, the rotational lever is weak. Once your hand is pried free and your elbow bends to 90 degrees behind your back, shoulder rotation is lost.

In Straight Armbar Escape Timing, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Has the elbow crossed the centerline?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?

If your elbow remains inside their thigh/hip fulcrum, you can escape via the hitchhiker roll or stack. Once your elbow is pulled past their hip bone (fulcrum) with thumb pointing up, the elbow joint is isolated and hyperextension is imminent.

In Mount Pin Escape, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Can you turn to your side without opening the elbow?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?

When escaping bottom mount via elbow-knee escape, your inside elbow must stay glued to your ribs/hip frame. If you turn on your side while letting your elbow flare above your shoulder line, you expose the gift-wrap, arm-triangle, or back take.

In Front Headlock Chin-Strap, what is the critical physical diagnostic check ('Is your chin cup hooking the mandible?') that decides whether to advance the technique or abandon/tap?

A proper chin-strap grip cups the bony point of the opponent's chin (mandible) while the forearm frames their collarbone/shoulder. Slipping onto the soft throat loses rotational head control and lets them circle out.

In Leg Lock Defence, avoid 'Before they have an entanglement': , a straight leg is what the *attacker* wants. It is how the entry works. Keep your heel near your backside instead.

In Lockdown, how do you evaluate whether you are committing the common error 'The laced lockdown', and what physical marker confirms your alignment is correct?

In Lockdown, avoid 'The laced lockdown': Their leg is between yours, your outside foot hooks over their ankle and your inside foot threads under your own calf. This is the one most of the page is about, and it has an inside and an outside version that behave differently.

In Mount Attacks, how do you evaluate whether you are committing the common error 'Lift their head and put your knee underneath it like a pillow', and what physical marker confirms your alignment is correct?

In Mount Attacks, avoid 'Lift their head and put your knee underneath it like a pillow': Foot and knee close together. Head on the mat and you never get full control of the near shoulder, so the elbow slips back through as your leg goes over.

In Mount Escapes, how do you evaluate whether you are committing the common error 'Escape from late', and what physical marker confirms your alignment is correct?

In Mount Escapes, avoid 'Escape from late': Reset their hips below your navel first, then escape. Two or three seconds of shoulder walk buys an escape that otherwise does not exist.
