This first entry is extremely generic, meaning you can hit it from a variety of different positions and situations, but you aren't likely to get into the technique in live rolling exactly as described here. Nevertheless, this type of entry is useful for a number of reasons, not the least of which is getting right into the submission itself so you can start practicing the details right away.

Start by standing over your partner, facing them. Leaving your right leg in between their legs, step backward with your left leg, so that you can see their right leg through the space in between your legs. Make sure you're above your partner's knee with your hips (you can facilitate this by pushing their knee down with your hand while stepping backward). Now sit on your partner's hips, immobilizing them to an extent. For simplicity, let's call this the "gargoyle position" (imagine being a gargoyle on the edge of a roof, looking down). We'll talk about the finish details next (and look at another entry). For a deeper look at the toe hold finish, see this guide on how to set up a toe hold.
