"Another wrist control we can do from a hooking strike, we'll take us to the inside this time. As Daniel is coming in, I want to blend with it. I want to get off line. As I do that, I'm creating my frame, so I have the option to strike as I did previously, or I can roll this around. He's striking in a circular motion and I continue to follow that. This motion become, if left unevaded, it become straight through just like that. So let's use that to our benefit. As he's coming in, I want to roll that. More requiring our hands be a little sticky here. If you notice, this hand is sneaking at around, put this other hand very close by, grab it, here we are in that wrist control again, my entire body now draws him to the ground. Drop it to the ground. As Danny comes in, I blend with it, keep it nice and snug, use my whole body, turn it, use my entire my body now, crank and drop him to the ground. One more time, I'm here, throw that wrist around, be aware over the tip of the knife is at. It’ll be ashame if you don't work this beatable technique and cut yourself open. Never get too tied up with the technique. Our goal's always to get off the line. If that's what you do, you succeeded. If ever you're here, you're getting off the line, and then you show him "well let's go ahead and wrap it back up". Okay. That Inside Wrist Control is a good technique from the hooking attack."
