k position
Also known as K-Guard — the canonical term used on this site.
Colloquial — K-shape body configuration
K-Position is the colloquial name for the K-guard entanglement — flagging the K-shape body configuration that defines the seated entry posture for leg-entanglement attacks.
Etymology. “K-Position” emphasises the K-shape geometry (knee up, leg extended) over the broader K-guard or K-guard-entanglement labels. The compound is informal coaching vocabulary.
Mechanics. The K-shape body posture positions the attacker for the entry into ashi garami or cross-ashi — the leg-up-and-out configuration provides the hip leverage for the inside-space commitment.
Cross-reference. “K-Guard LE” and “Lachlan Guard” are alternate names. Full mechanical coverage on K-Guard Entanglement.
