Facing-Away Entanglement
Also known as Reverse Guard (Entanglement Context) — the canonical term used on this site.
Descriptive — facing-away leg entanglement
Facing-Away Entanglement is the descriptive name for the reverse-guard entanglement — flagging the attacker’s facing-away body orientation that distinguishes the position from front-facing leg-entanglement variants.
Etymology. “Facing-Away” specifies the body orientation (attacker’s face turned away from the opponent); “Entanglement” attaches the position-family. The compound predominates in coaching vocabulary that emphasises the geometric orientation.
Mechanics. The facing-away orientation changes the attacker’s leverage geometry — submission angles and exit options differ from the standard facing-toward entanglements.
Cross-reference. “Reverse Guard LE” and “Belly-Down Outside Ashi” are alternate names. Full mechanical coverage on Reverse Guard Entanglement.
