The back hand holds the Bad Guy's hip and will pull the hip in a spiraling motion as you sit
Block Knee - keeps the knee from hitting you in the face, also helps with guiding the momentum
Setup Step - toes pointing in facilitates the next step, prevents from sitting on the knee
2nd Step in front also with the foot pointed in

Sit - hand pulls over straight leg
if you need help with the spiraling motion ask an instructor on your next visit

Sharpen your reflexes and don't hesitate if caught in a headlock.

Focus on making this movement smooth and allow the momentum to work for you.
