athletes places their thigh behind the leg of their opponent and passes their calf on top of the opponent's body above the knee placing their foot beyond the vertical midline of the opponent's body and applying pressure on the outside of the opponent's knee inward while keeping the foot of the leg at risk stuck behind their hip and armpit it is not necessary for one of the athletes to hold the foot of their opponent in order for the foot to be considered caught or stuck for purposes of this rule when one athlete is standing and bearing their weight on the foot of the same leg as the knee in danger the foot will be considered caught or stuck here's an example of a serious foul knee reap when the athlete executes the movement and the characteristics previously mentioned moving their foot across the vertical midline of the opponent's body the referee will stop the match return the position if permitted and issue a penalty to the athlete before restarting the fight now here are examples of severe foul knee reaps when the athlete executes the movement and the characteristics mentioned with their foot completely crossing the opponent's body limit it will be considered a trapped foot when the athlete turns inside from the 50-50 guard and their opponent is stepping on the ground with the foot that is in the guard at the beginning of the turn attention there is no irregularity when the bottom athlete turns inwards without reaping the opponent's knee when either of the athletes have a submission hold it will be considered a severe foul for the athlete crossing their foot in the characteristics mentioned previously there is no irregularity in positions where the foot is not stuck and when the athlete's leg is crossing below the opponent's knee as previously mentioned with that being said the referee will not interfere in a situation where an athlete crosses the leg over the opponent's knee while the foot is free the athlete is allowed to attack the opposite foot for purple bell athletes and below when two athletes are seated with their legs crossed but in a legal position and one of the athletes stands up this causes the opponent on bottom to be in an illegal position this is because when standing up the foot that was loose and now stepping on the ground is considered a trapped foot in this situation the referee must stop the fight then place the athlete on bottom in a sitting position and the athlete on top standing at a sufficient distance to allow new grips and then continue the fight if the situation occurs after a sweep the referee must wait three seconds to define the stabilization then in sequence stop the fight award two points for the athlete who is on top place the athlete on bottom in a sitting position and the other athlete in standing at a sufficient distance to allow new grips and continue the fight for brown and black belt athletes the referee will not interrupt the fight no penalty will be applied exclusively in this
