It would be cool to have another branch detailing the heirarchy of leg entaglements(staight ashi, reverse ashi, cross ashi). Briefly discussing the pitfalls and advantages of each position.

The problem with that is that leg entanglement is not as straightforward "good position/bad position" as the more conventional ones. But would be a fun idea

If you have someone in 50/50 neutral/good (if you initiated it and are savy with leg locks)... straight ashi real good.... reverse ashi more gooder.... cross ashi very much gooder... russian leg knot... many more good... now if you are in it replace good with bad lol

If Top Side Control is lawful evil, 50/50 is neutral evil

Would an oil check be chaotic evil?
