Belly-Down Outside Ashi
Also known as Reverse Guard (Entanglement Context) — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: positionally related
Descriptive — belly-down outside ashi entanglement
Belly-Down Outside Ashi is the descriptive name for the reverse-guard entanglement — flagging the belly-down body orientation and the outside-line ashi configuration that combine to produce the position’s leverage.
Etymology. “Belly-Down” specifies the body orientation; “Outside Ashi” specifies the leg-entanglement variant. The compound predominates in coaching contexts that emphasise the structural composition.
Mechanics. The belly-down position commits the attacker’s body weight forward over the opponent’s leg — the outside-line ashi closes the leg-attack leverage from the prone angle.
Cross-reference. “Reverse Guard LE” and “Facing-Away Entanglement” are alternate names. Full mechanical coverage on Reverse Guard Entanglement.
