| Re: Kick that is Caught |
| Upon further consideration I think this isn't a kick that is caught at all but a takedown attempt. |

| Odd way to grip the foot -would be more natural under the ankle/heel?
Also, interesting/confusing way that he's positioned his left hand -maybe he's going to dive in and reach down behind the opposite heel -but a wild guess. |

| It seems to me that after gripping the foot, the patient agent (left) has wrapped his left arm around the agent's (right) left leg. My guess is that then the patient agent lifts up and throws the agent off balance, thus causing him to fall on his back. |

| Re: Kick that is Caught |
| yes I agree Joshua, looks like a single leg takedown attempt to me. |

| Re: Kick that is Caught |
| Ok,if we admit the left guy did a single leg takedown, why the opponent torsed is back like we see on the picture? The position of the feet under the armpit of the left pankratist don't show a torsion. So I suppose, in this picture, the "kicker" torsed his upper body by him self.
But I see and advantage to put under the knee. It's better than take the foot with two hands. Because, with the arm under the knee, it's almost impossible to use the power of the leg to escape the catch or to put the feet on the ground. Try with a friend to catch is foot with to hands (one on heel, one on the upper) and before you try to push ut on the ground he can quicky push you to liberate is foot. But with the arm under the knee he can't use the flexion or the extension of the leg. But I like the explanation of Josuah. |

| I would like to give a chinese point of view to this technique.
In Shui Jiao (Chinese wrestling)point of view it looks like the guy on the left going to through the guy on the right over is left shoulder.
I will try to explain, the left hand goes under the lag, then he will kneel and turn with his back to the opponent and under his lag.
At that point he will pull down the lag downwards and will lean forward to through the guy over the shoulder on his face.
Sounds complicated but I have seen it done in some competitions.
Cab send a video for this technique. |

| Re: Kick that is Caught |
| Looking at the right hand position, the left hand position and the right foot. The heel of the right foot is raised; the left hand is ready for a circular motion to the left, by pushing of the right foot and twisting to the left. This will take the man down on his face and leave him open for his held leg to be locked up behind the knee of the other leg, this leg is then bent over the heel of the held leg the knee would then be injured.

| It is much like a jui jitsu technique, if the person holdin the leg was to turn his left hip into the opponents left hip and keep turning then the opponent woul be thrown over |

| Re: Kick that is Caught |
| to me it looks like a muay thai type leg catch. although the foot grab seems odd. the next move would be to hike up the knee taking away all balance/power of the enemy. the enemy cant punch because of the loss of balance. once the knee is raised the option of sweeping the leg, or throwing the opponent becomes apparent. |

| Re: Kick that is Caught |
| The hand under the leg gives the catcher the opportunity to twist the knee in both directions. One to get the kicker on his back and the other to put him on his stomach so a leg lock from behind can be applied.
Or it could be a straight push through where the fast straightening of the elbow gives extra force to lift the leg for a takedown. |
