The word "art" has no meaning to me. Even today, when people talk about "self-cultivation", I still have no idea what they are talking about.

2. The problem is he may not let you "lift his left leg off the ground."
1. If I can get a head lock, under hook, over hook, belt hold, bottom of SC jacket hold, or waist wrap, my leg can reach to my opponent's leg.
2. If my opponent resists, I will borrow his resistance force, go backward, and change my leg spring into knee seize.
