rutherford said:What do you guys think about the direction of the pick? From what I've seen, the immediate pull on the ankle is in a direction parallel to the floor rather than lifting it up. Especially with people bigger than you who have their weight on the leg you're attacking, this seems to make the takedown easier.
Yup, you don't want to lift the leg, that would get their weight to shift to the other, you want to pull it out from under them, similar in effect to some types of footsweeps.
