Leg lace back position
Also known as Waiter Position — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: colloquial — refers to the leg position before the arm thread
Colloquial — leg-laced back-attack position
Leg lace back position is the colloquial name for the waiter guard — flagging the leg-lacing mechanic combined with the back-attack tactical orientation that defines the configuration.
Etymology. “Leg lace” specifies the laced/curled-leg control; “back position” attaches the back-attack tactical intent. The compound is informal coaching vocabulary that frames the waiter as a back-take platform.
Mechanics. The leg-lace controls the opponent’s supporting leg while the bottom player attacks the back — the configuration produces sweep-and-back-take combination options.
Cross-reference. “Far leg control” and “waiter guard” are alternate names. Full mechanical coverage on Waiter Guard.
