Truck Position
Also known as Truck / Crab Ride — the canonical term used on this site.
Full name — truck leg-control position
Truck Position is the full positional name for the truck — the 10th Planet–system leg-control configuration that combines back-attached posture with leg-trapping mechanics to set up the twister submission.
Etymology. “Truck” is Eddie Bravo’s 10th Planet–system metaphorical name for the position (the configuration’s stability evokes a “truck” hauling the opponent); “Position” attaches the configuration category. The full name predominates in published instructional material.
Mechanics. The position combines back retention with leg control — the closed-leg trap denies the opponent the rotation needed to escape back position, opening the twister submission entry.
Cross-reference. “Crab Ride,” “Truck Control,” and “Crab Hook” are alternate names. Full mechanical coverage on Truck.
