ripping – Severe Foul - DQ
•Knee ripping
is characterized by when one of the athletes places his thigh behind the leg of
his opponent and passes his
calf on
top of the opponent’s body above the knee, placing his foot beyond the vertical
midline of the opponent’s body and applying pressure
on his opponents knee from the outside, true inside,
while keeping the foot of the leg at risk stuck between his hip
and armpit.
•It is
not necessary for one of the athletes to hold the foot
of his
opponent in order for the foot to be considered caught or
stuck.
•For

bearing their
weight on foot of the same leg as the knee in danger, the foot will be considered
caught or stuck.
