Jammer escaping from a 2-person lock on the side

Jammers will learn different ways to escape from a 2-person lock at the side.

Two blockers (or two blockers plus a front-support) will put a jammer (purple) in a "lock" at the side: one blocker (1) is in front of them at the outside or inside track boundary, the other blocker (2) is next to the jammer and forms a very tight "lock" together with the blocker in front of the jammer (see picture).

The jammer practices different tactics to escape this lock:

1. Retract and hit: the jammer braces themseves, takes a stable position (not leaning forwards on either blocker). Then they breath in, while moving their upper body backwards. On their breath out, they move their upper body forwards and sideways, to hit the locking blocker (2) and break through diagonally. Leaning back first will de-stabilise the blocker pushing them.
2. Wiggle and push: the jammer gets low, then vigourously wiggles their upper body in between the two blockers. Once their shoulder is firmly pushed in, they push upwards and sideways, either pushing the blocker close to the boundary over the boundary or pushing the other blocker away.
3. Back and around: the jammer pushes themselves into the lock until the lock feels really good and firm. Then, they move back suddenly and move diagonally forward, away from the tripod. Surprise is key here!

<br> These moves work great with offence: the offence can either take out the blocker in front of you (1) for the retract and hit, or the 2nd blocker for the back and around move. Excellent communication with offence required to get the timing right! The offence has to hit the blocker JUST as the jammer has moved backwards. Make sure you have a signal!

Jammers will be able to escape a lock in three different ways, and will be able to suprise blockers with which way they choose. They will also have excellent communication with their offence.
